KidKraft Majestic Mansion Wooden Dollhouse with 34-Piece Accessories, Working Elevator and Garage, Gift for Ages 3+

This dollhouse, at 4½', is huge and heavy, so you definitely want to assemble it in the space in which it is to remain. I gave it five stars because of its large 9 room size, weight, well-made furniture, and nicely decorated wall surfaces. Parents should take note, however, that its height and weight may pose risk of serious injury to a young child should little hands pull it down, so the most important step upon assembly for me was to secure it to a wall with the two included wall anchors.AssemblyTwo allen hex key wrenches were included, which I supplemented with a medium Phillips head screwdriver and a mini snapoff utility knife.The first thing I did upon unpacking was to group the parts according to the numbers affixed to each. This proved to be extremely helpful during assembly.The manufacturer, for some unfathomable reason, chose to forego written instructions for illustrated instructions. Not the easiest to understand, but doable. The parts illustrated, including the hardware, are numbered to correspond with the number affixed to each part. Additionally, some of the hardware is also color coded thereby further easing the assembly somewhat. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience, just one where I found myself occassionally frustrated by all the flipping of both the illustrations and the actual pieces to ensure the proper alignment prior to screwing pieces together. I also found the pictures of the house posted on Amazon to be extremely helpful during those times I found myself totally stumped. I set aside four afternoons, spending about 7 hours in all on assembly.I also affixed a strand of battery operated mini led lights to the ceiling of each level to better illuminate the play areas. This proved to be a big hit with the grand who loves flipping on the switch each morning.MaterialsThe house is accented with solid wood framing on its front and thin strips of wood trim baseboard running along the rear of the floors. The floors and walls are composed of some type of composite material. The floors are decorated to resemble hardwood flooring; the walls are decorated with appropriately themed furniture and fixtures.The included furniture sets are a very nice bargain as similar wood sets run upwards of $30. Most of the furniture pieces are made of sturdy wood. The tub, toilet, and refrigerator door are plastic. The only small downside that I can see is that tips of the garage door paper finish lifted in the upper corners a tiny bit during assembly. Not too surprised given that the boards are overlayed with glued decorative sheets of paper. A dot of gorilla glue took care of it.The house is divided into nine living spaces, including a bathroom, patio, and garage, and has a manually operated elevator. My grandchild absolutely loves this dollhouse and enjoys many hours rearranging the included furniture and moving her doll family throughtout the nine living spaces. It is an awesome dollhouse which will grow with her through the years. One of my best toy purchases ever!

This dollhouse is even better than we expected! It’s very large, just like the pictures, and the details are beautiful. My daughter was amazed when we finished setting it up — she hasn’t stopped playing with it since. The materials feel sturdy, and it was worth every penny. A perfect gift!

I have been debating whether to give a 4 star or 5 star rating. After carefully thinking this through, I feel like it deserves a 5 stars on the COMPLETED dollhouse.The only reasons I considered giving a 4 star rating is simply because the directions were a complete nightmare and the paper laminate on the roof has already began to pull up on the edges. It would have been very, very helpful to have the instructions in color, or to shade the images or even better to label each item with a part number as it had, but also to list each side as A or B. Each panel has double images on the walls including the floors and roof. Had the pictures of the Dollhouse not been available on Amazon as a reference I would have to return it- it would be just impossible for an average person to figure this out without images.The box was carefully packed and had no damage.The hardware was in blister packs and labeled well. Trying to figure out a yellow bolt vs a blue bolt was easy enough.The elevator assembly was another very difficult task. After screwing the elevator box together, it’s quite the task to line up the predrilled holes in the elevator to the plastic slides because you can’t see them due to having assembled one side.Patience and being very careful is needed as the house continues to grow larger and larger, it becomes difficult to handle and you can’t just tip it over to get a better angle. Any additional stress on the partially assembled house could cause the panels to break. Once it’s all together it is strong and not flimsy.The dollhouse is quite large as you build it and you have to be crafty at trying to manage the bulkiness and securing the bolts and locking nuts in place.This dollhouse is wonderful once built. My granddaughter adores it. It’s a lovely dollhouse that seems sturdy and much better than the plastic ones.But be warned that this is a 3.5 - 4 hour project. I consider myself very experienced from building retails displays to home improvement. Would I volunteer to put another one together again- definitely NOT. But seeing the joy and happiness of my granddaughter was all worth it.

This dollhouse exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we opened the box, it was clear that this was a high-quality, well-designed toy. The details are absolutely beautiful—each room is thoughtfully decorated with vibrant colors, tiny furniture pieces, and adorable accessories that spark creativity and imaginative play.Assembly was straightforward, and the instructions were easy to follow. Once set up, the structure felt sturdy and durable, which is great for active kids. My child was instantly drawn to it and spent hours arranging the rooms, making up stories, and playing with her dolls. It's spacious enough for multiple dolls and has plenty of rooms to explore, which keeps her entertained for a long time.One of my favorite things about this dollhouse is how it encourages independent play as well as social play when friends or siblings are around. It’s also a lovely piece to have on display in the playroom or bedroom—charming and fun at the same time.If you’re looking for a gift that’s both fun and developmental, I highly recommend this dollhouse. It's well worth the investment and has quickly become one of our favorite toys at home!
