Very Fun Barbie House
on August 20, 2015
Posted by: QueenB513
from Cincinnati, Ohio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter is 3.5 years old and absolutely LOVES this barbie house. She loves the kitchen the best, as there are doors to open and you can put food in different places (refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher). A next favorite is the portable table that can be interchanged between a fan, fish tank, bathroom sink and toilet. They all make noise when you put a different piece on top or flush the toilet. Very interactive and fun. This house came with TONS of accessories.
The elevator on the side works great. The garage is neat, but does not open easily, she struggles to do this but she eventually gets it and never gets frustrated with it.
The TV hanging on the wall has a very neat concept, as your iphone fits in the plastic holder, so it can be a "real" tv. Very neat, but almost not needed as there is so much more to play with.
The bedroom has a neat concept of fabric hanging across the ceiling and tied back with plastic holders, however the fabric doesn't stay behind the holders. Great idea, but does not stay in place once playing starts. I will be taking that down as she always wants me to fix it.
It is pretty sturdy and does not tip over easily.
Directions are easy to follow, takes about 45 minutes to put together.
Overall, great buy. Very happy with this house. Very few minor cons, which the pros absolutely out weigh and negatives. :)

More than a Dollhouse
on August 30, 2015
Posted by: one13mom
from Wabash, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "Thanks mom for getting me a dollhouse!" Those were my daughters first words when she saw the box containing the Barbie Dreamhouse. The attention to detail is phenomenal including mail for the mailbox, a TV (which is a holder for a phone to show videos), and fabric curtains to name just a few. Both my girls love to interchange the fan, bathroom sink, fish tank, and grill to hear the sounds and see the lights. The dreamhouse size is perfect. It is big enough that 2-4 children can easily play together at the same time and small enough to not feel like it takes over our living room. The only problem we had is the elevator lever has come off the track (only when children are playing with it for the first time). It was easy to fix in about 10 minutes using a screwdriver.
Pros: easy assembly - no tools needed!

AMAZING, really is a Dream House!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We LOVE the Barbie Dream House. It is so elaborate and glamorous. The details are very well done and the number of included accessories is fantastic. It was very easy to put together. I was able to do it myself in about half an hour, the instructions were clear and the parts well labeled. Once it was put together, my daughter could not wait to start playing with it. The only possible thing that I wish was that it had a storage drawer for all the small pieces.
Pros: High quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome product, days of fun!

from Baden, pa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Barbie house is amazing. It is huge. It takes up what seems like half of my 3 year old dayghter's room. It has a million little pieces which give my creative daughter an overwhelming amount of ideas and things to do in the house. This is a mansion. The tiny pieces are not so fun to accidentally step on or find your infant child or cat having in their mouth so separation is a big must. It is difficult for my 3 year old to do something's, like opening the doors on the elevator and getting the garage door to open, instead she pushes the garage door, taking it off the track. This toy comes with patience. I think my daughter could play with this all day and not get bored or tired so that is a huge plus. 3 year old minds wonder and like to be constantly entertained, this house does exactly that. She finds something new with each day of playing and is excited to play every second she can.
Pros: hours of entertainment, variety of options, imagination starter
Cons: a lot of small pieces, set up time is extensive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What little girl doesn't love Barbie and want a Dreamhouse?!? Of course, my 4 yr old loves this! Her grandpa joking calls this the Barbie condo. This was relatively easy to put together and is rather sturdy! Due to all of the different features, my daughter enjoys playing in the different rooms. I am so glad this will be of interest for her for years to come!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Little Girl's Dream!
on August 27, 2015
Posted by: MomOfThreeLittles
from Iowa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Barbie Dream house in the mail, and my three girls were ECSTATIC all day. My 5 year old was so excited! Even my two year olds (please note, it is rated for 3+ years, but removed all small pieces while they were playing with it) were saying "A Barbie house!" over and over again. I was debating on whether to put it together when the kids were asleep, but I decided to give it a try when they were awake because they were so excited. I opened up the box, and I quickly noticed that some pieces were wrapped in plastic, and some were lose. The ones in the plastic were protected well, and the ones that were not ended up having some smaller pieces broken off (such as the refrigerator door). It was fairly simple to put together, even with three kids trying to "help out." The pieces snapped together with no tools required. The only pieces that gave me a little trouble was the garage door and the elevator. The instructions were not super clear on these parts, but I still got them to work after really studying the instructions. Once it was put together, the kids loved it! It is very tall. My two year olds could not quite reach the top level. It was no problem for my five year old. One of my daughter's favorite parts are the garage, and the swimming pool. However, the pool often comes unhooked, but she doesn't seem to mind. The younger kids are able to use the garage and elevator efficiently. The garage door sometimes comes off the tracks, but can be put back on with little effort. One really cool feature is the battery powered barbie appliances. There is a "power station" that has interchangable pieces - an aquarium, grill, toilet, fan, and sink. They are all very life-like with the sounds, however, it would be nice if they were not all powered by one piece. For example, you can't use both the sink in the bathroom & the grill in the kitchen simultaneously. There is also a phone holder to be used as the flat screen TV. It fits my iphone, but does not fit my husband's galaxy. It is a neat feature, but I don't think it is necessary for barbies to "watch" real TV. Overall, this is a very awesome toy and any girl's dream! It is well furnished with lots of "extras." My daughter's Barbie car (Volkswagon Beetle) fits perfectly in the garage. It is just great! There is so much variety, that it keeps my kids occupied for hours!
Pros: High quality, Durable, well furnished, easy assembly, great for all ages, quick assembly, compatible with other barbie accessories, interactive play, great variety of rooms
Cons: a couple of pieces were broken off before assembly, takes up a large amount of space, garage sometimes falls off tracks
