Perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves,loves, LOVES this toy. She has spent days playing with this! It is perfect for a barbie fan! The only advice I would give is make sure you have adequate time to put it together and It is rather big, so I'd also encourage you to put it together in the room the child will play with it in, if at all possible. This is not the type of toy that is easily moved. . It took me around an 1 hour including the time it took me to sort through the box for parts to put it together. This is absolutely the most played with toy my daughter has & I would definitely recommend it to friends!
Pros: High quality, provides hours of play time
Cons: takes a while to put together
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This is a big house! But I kind of like that it's that big. It wasn't too time consuming to put together. It only took about 45 minutes. It's pretty sturdy compared to other dreamhouses I've seen in the past. My girls haven't stopped playing with it! I love that it has a garage for their Barbie car. And of course they love the pool & always want to put water in it! All the little pieces that make noise are cool too. Definitely worth the price!
Pros: Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Dreamhouse Yet
on August 30, 2015
Posted by: Anonymous
from Phoenix, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every little girl's dream is to own a Barbie Dreamhouse at some point. When it comes to making dreams come true, this house checks all the right boxes. The house comes with 3 floors, a garage for Barbie's car(not included in the package), an elevator for Barbie to go from floor to floor and many decorative items that are added into each room. Those items include a bed, a sofa, a table with chairs, a bathtub with a sink and toilet, a kitchen set with a stove and fridge and a jacuzzi. Everything in the Dreamhouse is very beautiful and has many details. The only thing I had an issue with was the house set up. Having some of the items premade already would definitely help with the building time of the house. I took around 45 minutes to build the entire house and still had to put stickers on some of the items after I was done. Another issue is that there's a lot of small items like kitchen utensils and clothes hangers that are very small and could cause someone to choke if swallowed, so just make sure those items are not near a toddler. Overall, my daughter has had a blast playing with the house and washing the barbies in the jacuzzi. If this is going to be a gift for a child that loves Barbie, this is a must have.

LOVE THIS!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 year-old daughter has been wanting the Barbie Dreamhouse for at least a year. It is everything she has been wanting and more!
When I took it out of the box, I was a little hesitant about putting it together. There was a bunch of pieces and the instructions are just pictures. After sitting down and following the instructions, the Dreamhouse really was that easy to put together. No screwdrivers necessary, it all snaps in place!
My daughter has lots of favorite things about this Dreamhouse including the working elevator and garage, as well as the table that you can switch out pieces with. She LOVES getting the fish tank to light up and she loves all of the sounds that it makes. One of my personal favorites of the Dreamhouse was the "big screen TV" where you can fit your actual smart phone in as if it was a TV. I thought that was clever!
If you are on the fence about purchasing this, I'd say you should definitely get it! It has surpassed our expectations. My daughter wants to play with it all day!
Pros: High quality, Durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter really like this house. Only gripe is how much time it takes to put together and the elevator pulley system had to be fixed by my husband first.

Enjoyable House with Great Interactive Features
on August 30, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a little girl I wanted a Barbie Dream House, and never got one, so I was excited to play with this set with my 3 year old. I was not disappointed and am very pleased with the creative ways my daughter has played with this set. There’s a looooottt of plastic and a LOOOTTTTTT of pink (I’ll get back to this in a minute). The house is very simple to put together, with very clear details. The house is HUGE, about a foot taller than my daughter. The elevator works better than the ones I remember from my childhood, but could still use a bit of work on future models (works fine, just the movements are a bit jerky).
There are some details that I thought were above and beyond and were very cute—the chandelier and canopy appearance of the bedroom setup, the TV that holds a smartphone (this gets huge smiles out of my daughter), the door knocker (probably my favorite detail about the house, it’s just so twee), the toilet that flushes, and the pool that looks like a bay window when not in use. The house includes literally everything you could need for playing house, except the dolls. We play with it with Barbies and other similarly sized dolls (Monster High, Disney, etc), and have added a few additional furniture pieces that I saved from my childhood and newly purchased and made items- but one absolutely does not need to add anything to get enjoyment out of the house.
The interactive furniture piece is definitely the stand out item here and my daughter loved it. She didn’t seem to mind that you can only play with one of the top pieces at a time, but I really think there should have been more than one base piece, either that came with the set or was sold separately— because that’s what really makes this set unique from past Barbie houses that I have seen or other brand houses. I think a standalone additional base could sell for around $25 and be a worthwhile addition to the set. Or I would have preferred to have a second base instead of all the little tiny pieces that my daughter is sure to lose within a month or so.
So the pink and plastic. The plastic is expected, of course, but I do feel this is decent quality plastic and will definitely last the 5 or so years I can imagine a young child playing with this set. The pink, although expected, is very jarring. I’m sure the Research and Development shows that pink sells, but I would love to see a Barbie house that looks like a house instead of a toy- fake brick, fake wood furniture, etc. Maybe this is something for a collector’s line?-Fancy Barbie dollhouses, I have no idea. I don’t know that this would enhance my 3 year old’s interest, but I can say for absolute certain that I would be far more likely to buy future large items like this if they looked more realistic.
I think there’s a lot to love with this set, and my daughter has definitely gotten a lot of play out of it and I know she will enjoy playing with it for at least a few years (hopefully longer!).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Barbie Dreamhouse, when can we move in?
on September 4, 2015

from Lexington, Ky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last weekend we decided to put together the Barbie Dreamhouse. My 10 year old daughter wanted to get it out of the box and put it together herself, and she DID! It took about an hour and 15 minutes for her to get it all put together, and she did it with ease! All of the instructions were very easy to read, all of the parts and accessories were bagged separately and easy to find. After getting the house all together it was time to decorate! We were excited to find a dinning table, chairs, a canopy bed, and even a refrigerator and kitchen accessories!! We all have really enjoyed playing with the garage, you can move the door up and down. You can also put Barbie in the elevator and have her travel between floors. We are really happy with the house and would LOVE to move in our selves!
Pros: easy to put together
Cons: the garage doesn't have a floor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
