This was by far the best gift my daughter received this Christmas. It is built better that I expected and comes with plenty of items to furnish this upscale Barbie residence. Just be aware that it doesn't include any Barbie dolls.
Cons: missing parts, picture on site has items that are not included
Our townhouse was missing a few of the parts (bed rails, the light up chandelier) however Mattel was very helpful and will send those parts. However - if you are expecting the house to have a closet (as pictured) I'm told it no longer includes that (even though it includes hangers. odd). Instructions are terrible, but it's not too tough to put together. Not very durable, but very cute and my daughter likes it very much. Overall - I would say it's a 'good' purchase.
As a parent, this was very disappointing! When we opened the box, 2 of the chairs were broken & the stickers that were preapplied from the factory were applied crooked & bubbled (not flatly placed). We tried to straighten, glue & fix the best we could. Considering this was a "Santa" gift we had to improvise & didn't have time to send back & wait for another replacement or BELIEVE ME, I definately would have! In the end, my 4yr old loved it so thats all that mattered :)
