I purchased this castle for my daughter's 4th birthday. ...

I purchased this castle for my daughter's 4th birthday. She is beyond obsessed with it. It took her Dad nearly two hours to build the night before, but her expression when she saw it the next morning was priceless. Definitely a big winner in this family.

Screw hole missing; instructions not great; daughter loves it.

Dislike: there is a hole missing where you should be placing a screw. It’s on the back edge of the second level. This was a Christmas gift for our daughter, so when we she went to sleep Christmas Eve and we started putting it together we were super disappointed. We debated drilling a hole ourselves but were concerned that due to the placement drilling would result in splitting the wood piece. We ended up using wood glue instead. Cautiously optimistic that it will hold long term, but pretty disappointed. Prior to my husband, I would not have had wood glue handy. Such a huge error for a costly gift. The instructions don’t always tell you which way the boards go. It’s fine for us, as it was IMO easy to figure it out. But I know from friends some people struggle with things like that, so if you are someone who needs exact directions you may not be able to assemble solo. Other than that I like it. Our daughter adores it — she gasped. I am not a fan of plastic toys and prefer wood. I was a little hesitant since this is primarily particle board, but am happy with it. The furniture is cute and enjoyable. We paid 95 and it was worth that price.

Absolutely in love

This turned out beautiful and was easy to set up. I was very happy with the end result and can not wait to give to my daughter for Christmas. Even the screws were painted to blend in where it was holding the pieces together. I loved that the furniture wasn’t plastic except for the piece around the tub and the chandelier. I think this is nicer than the Barbie houses and I paid less for it. All in all I am thrilled with it! It is very large though!!!

Magical dolls house

Amazing dolls house! My daughter absolutely loves it. Fits disney dolls and barbie size dolls perfectly. The detail is great and the house accessories are very well made. Two things to watch out for: (a) the house is big. The girl in the photo is around five feet tall; (b) it is a kitset and is a little finicky to put together. If it is for a birthday or Xmas don’t leave it to the night before to put it together!

Granddaughter loves it

Took quite a while to assemble. Others have mentioned it in their review but I forgot all about it until we got to the 2nd floor and he commented that it seemed weird to have the screw heads painted colors that don't match the design. They do actually match, so we undid it and were more careful after that. We too have attic doors that don't close properly because the holes that the hinges screw into are not right. Oh well, I knew that before I purchased it and it is very cute and I am very happy with it.

Great value, very sturdy, accurate size depiction!

Absolutely love this. My daughter is 4 and 42 inches tall and this castle dominates her in size. A little plastic piece on the top floor door snapped off so those doors have become useless and sit in a box. We have had this for an entire year now and it's still like new condition minus that door. Very sturdy, great value for the price. We love it.

It's a HIT!

I bought this for Christmas for my preschool granddaughters, and they love it! My son-in-law assembled it in an hour and a half, and the girls play with it all the time. I also bought Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the carriage. All-in-all, a wonderful Christmas gift they'll love for years.

Sturdy and large enough to play with normal size Barbie dolls

The castle was easy to build with tools provided. Would recommend to follow instructions step by step and not to skip ahead. Dimensions are accurate as described by vendor. The material is very sturdy and should withstand several hours of play by child. One daughter is 6, the other 2 and both enjoy the castle. Stickers and accessories are holding up well with 2+ months of play. Would recommend buying.

The most spectacular girls' toy I've ever personally experienced

This is the most spectacular girls' toy I've ever personally experienced. Every morning it puts a huge smile not just on my kid's face, on mine too! Let me preface this by saying I am an anal, super-picky mom who prefers Grimm's (made in Germany), Camden Rose's (made in the USA), and Plan Toys' (made in Thailand) solid wood toys, hand-carved kitchen play sets etc. and Green Toys' (made in the USA) BPA/phthalate-free recycled plastic toys. I have also seen the whole gamut of solid wood, artisanal dollhouses. So initially I was hesitant to buy this dollhouse, which is made partly from MDF and plastic, though it also features solid wood. But boy have I been impressed by this Kidkraft castle. Took hubby about 4hrs to build it, he was meticulous and took his time, at some points deploying his power drill. All but one of the pieces fit as they were supposed to; the upper staircase took a bit of wrangling but was screwed into place just fine and looks fantastic. The instructions were clear enough and none were missing. The end result, a 5ft tall castle with a strikingly photogenic clock tower attic, is sturdy, gorgeous, and magical beyond both my and our kid's wildest dreams for a Disney dollhouse. No problems with the attic doors, which appear to have been recently redesigned (?) with better support so that they don't break off the hinges, unlike the earlier version of the attic doors photographed in some of the earlier reviews here. However, in an abundance of caution, I've instructed our kid never to snap the attic doors shut so that we leave them easier to open each time. No issue of flimsy staircases either; the lower staircase can get detached from its ledge if you play VERY roughly with it but why would you play THAT roughly with it? And no biggie, just clip it back on and it stays on quite firmly. This dollhouse fits all the Disney Classic Dolls as well as Barbies. It has fueled hours and hours of nonstop imaginative narrative. The painted details in each room and even on the exterior sides of the castle are so plentiful and well-illustrated that you and your kid could easily lose yourselves into another world. The plexiglass skylight over the attic is a particularly nice, "high-end" architectural touch if you will. Props to KidKraft for staying away from most shades of pink -- glad to see a predominantly NON-pink dollhouse for once! I highly recommend it to any doll/ dollhouse/ Disney lover, whether young or young-at-heart. There's always room for improvement, though. My design suggestions to KidKraft: (1) Make the balcony railing outside the master bedroom higher and therefore much more realistic. That way dolls leaning over the balcony railing won't fall off. It's odd that the balcony railing is so low, given the expected 11"-12" dolls occupying this castle. (2) Add a staircase or elevator from the 3rd floor to the attic floor. The attic, with its skylight, is such a magical space that it deserves an equally magical access point like a staircase spiraling up from the 3rd floor balcony. (3) The green "tile" floor of the kitchen is an odd color & materials choice and looks out of place. Strongly suggest changing to a cobblestone floor look or even a hardwood floor look, in keeping with medieval castle interiors. (4) How about adding a full partition wall with a doorway between the kitchen and bathroom, to enhance the realism of a private bathroom especially since there's a bathtub? (5) Please make some more medieval castle-inspired furniture to fill up the interiors. Would have loved to see a formal dining table & chair set for example. A dollhouse this spectacular deserves more plentiful accessories and furniture.

Review Updated: Missing a piece.

The princess dollhouse is big and beautiful. All was perfect until I reached the top doors. The little hinge on the right was missing therefore door could not be installed. Sadly I can’t find the piece anywhere to buy. I noticed another review had the same issue. Sad, these items for kids should be better inspected before boxing. UPDATE: Called Kidcraft right away and they send me the piece expedited and free of any charge. Received it right before Christmas! Great customer service.
