After months of research and numerous trips to the toy store I sadly opted to get this plastic dollhouse instead of the eco-friendly Plan Toy doll house. I am EXTREMELY happy for choosing this one because my 2 year old daughter LOVES it. She always preferred playing with the Calico than the wooden ones in the store. The furniture, dolls, house, clothes are more aesthetically pleasing for a child than the big, plain wooden ones. My daughter wasn't into the wooden dolls nor the house and furniture. The Calico Critters, also known as Sylvanian Family, has a more realistic look to it. Granted the dolls are animals but most kids will gravitate towards that due to its cuteness. The dollhouse didn't come with any Critters or furniture but that is ok. You can really "decorate" the house in any manner due to the great selection of furniture sets. The house is big and has three stories, 6 rooms and a deck to fill it up. Not all the furniture will fit into the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor. So you may have to put those to the side. House comes completely built only thing you need to do it add the "gates". Wished the ladder had a hook or something to hang on it just keeps falling down. Most of the windows open which is great. This house feels sturdy and will last for sometime. BTW, the furniture sets has some extremely small parts. I have put them away for now until she gets older. I am not afraid of her putting them in her mouth just losing them. Overall, house is great and if you are debating on what kind of house to buy just take them to a toy store where they have either wooden or plastic or both. Your little one will tell you.
