Toys and Games Reviews of Disney Princess: Enchanted Tales Vanity
Customer Review: Glitzy and fun princess vanity
Summary: 4 Stars
My parents bought this as an early holiday present for my four-year old daughter. She absolutely loves it. We opened it early because my parents wanted to see her enjoy the present. When my daughter realized that the box near the fireplace held this vanity she yelled, "Oh. My. God. This is what I always wanted! I always wanted this, Poppy!"
It took a little while to put together-- the screws don't really screw in easily, but after it was put together it looked wonderful. It's definitely one of the prettiest vanities for sale and it works very well. There is a magnet in the wand that causes the compartments to open up and reveal either pretend nailpolish, lipgloss, a powder puff and something else (escapes me right now) when compartments are touched with the wand and it really does seem as if this is done by magic. We were just in Disney World last week and my daughter went to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique so we actually have a bunch of REAL disney makeup I will use to replace the pretend stuff. (If you get a chance to take your daughters here, do so-- it's a great experience!) The on/off switch is a large gem that lights up when the item is "on". When the gem is in place, in the on position, the vanity has several lights that sparkle on and off. And, it's then that the princesses-- Cinderella, Belle, and Aurora are revealed in the magic mirrors. They all speak and say pleasant things in a very clear/non-electronic voice.
The absolute ONLY complaints I have with this toy is that it's made of the cheaper-type brittle plastic, rather than the nicer "Step 2" or "little Tikes" plastic. It's the kind of plastic that can break if you trip over it. So, it's not tremendously durable although, admittedly, the vanity will be against a wall rather than in the center of a room. The stool it comes with, too, is made the same way, obviously, but it seems to be a bit more durable just because of how it's molded and put together.
Also, as gorgeous and "princess-y" the vanity table is, the drawer is really pretty useless. It doesn't slide easily and is very shallow. Still, one can stick some jewelry in there, I suppose, or some other little treasures. The stool, too, looks quilted, but it's not. And, that is always a pet peeve to me. Don't do fake fabric! Either do real fabric, or mold the plastic to look like something else-- but not quilted fabric. Maybe that's silly, but I always thought that looked so cheap.
Anyways, these gripes I have don't minimize the play factor for my daughter who really loves this toy. We've only had it three days, but she's spent a lot of time sitting at it and using the wand and playing with it. When we actually get it home to our house (we're visiting the grandparents), I'm sure she'll still use it even if she stops playing with it as much since she can brush her hair there, put her jewelry box on it, and use it when she dresses up in her princess dresses (which she loves to do).
All in all, this is really a great item.
