Toys and Games Reviews of BarbieŽ My House
Customer Review: It's the best dollhouse ever mom!
Summary: 5 Stars
We celebrated our family Christmas this morning and my 4 year old received this from my husband and me. She said, "It's the best dollhouse ever! My favorite!" and thanked us about a hundred times. I think it'll go over well with the intended audience (4-7 year old girls who love Barbie).
PROS:
*It comes with tons of accessories, hair drier, toothbrushes, towel, waste basket, laundry basket, plates, cups, utensils, food, laptop computer, dog, convertible bed/ottoman, small table and chairs, ... more than I can remember.
*Some of the items on the "house" are interactive and really help to encourage imaginative play. You can open the front door, washing machine, toilet lid, oven, and part of the refrigerator, .... Some of the cabinets are fixed and don't open by my daughter doesn't seem to mind.
*It folds up very compactly so it doesn't take up a ton of space when not in used. It's about 15inches wide, 4 inches deep, and 12 inches tall when folded. (Not exact measurements. I'm just estimating.)
CONS:
-It's not the sturdiest item (the shell of the house if fine, but the extra walls that you can reposition fall over occassionally especially if you're playing on carpet).
-The pieces are small and may be lost to the vacuum cleaner some day.
Bottom line, I paid $12 for this on Amazon with free shipping and it was WELL worth that price.
Customer Review: AWESOME!!! BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

I just gave this to my 4 year old for Valentine's Day. After purchasing it on clearance for about 19.00 I debated whether I would give it to her. She only had a few barbies and never really plays with them. After giving it to her I am so glad that I did. Not only does she play with it but she has not stopped since I gave it to her on Saturday. This is truly amazing since my daughter has never played with anything for that long let alone by HERSELF. The only additional assessory she has asked for is a dining room table as the first things she did was turn the table into a computer table. So apparently barbie is eating on the floor until I buy a dining table. Even my husband who has been anti barbie has enjoyed watching her play with it. Any time you can find a toy to keep your childs attention, encourage their imagination, and keep them away from the television is a winner in my book. This folds up nicely but once expanded it definately provides plenty of play area which is the best of all. I keep all her barbie assessories in a small tub which works perfectly. Do not hesitate to purchase this especially if you find it on clearance.Customer Review: Great if you're short on space!

We gave this to our daughter for christmas and she hasn't stopped playing with it since! She had wanted a house for her Barbies, but as we live in a very small apartment we don't have the room for one of the typical Barbie mammoth houses, but this house is perfect! It can be arranged in whatever way works for the story she's making up at the time and when she's all done for the day the walls fit inside and it folds up to roughly 18" long and 4" wide. The furniture doesn't fit inside when it's folded up, but it can easily be tucked next to it. The house also has cute touches like the pet door in the front door and my personal favorite, the washer and dryer that really spins when you push on the detergent box on the top. On the down side, some of the furniture comes apart pretty easily (but snaps right back together easily) and every single decoration is a sticker that you have to apply (actually, I love doing stuff like that so to me that wasn't even a negative).
Final word, great bargin and just right for the Barbie lover who doesn't have the space for the huge Barbie houses.
Customer Review: Great House for the Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this house for my girls (8,4 & 3) because I couldn't find a barbie house for under a $100. To my surprise and the girls, it has been an enormous amount of fun. There are 3 walls (1) that is used as the front door and back door/living area (1) that is used as a kitchen on one side and a living room type wall on the other side and (1) that has a bathroom with a toilet, shower, sink, and washer and dryer and on the other side is a bedroom scene. The washer and dryer have a button on top to push to make them spin. The shower opens and the toilet folds up and down. The refrigerator opens and it comes with a chair that opens up into a bed as well as a table and 2 chairs.
The house is sturdy and well built and folds up nicely to fit into a small space. You may want to purchase additional furniture to further the play and imagination. I haven't had any issues with it falling over even on carpet and my girls love the fact that they can rearrange the walls.
My opinion: It's a great product especially for the price!
Customer Review: I love Barbie!

I am a sixty year old grandmother who got my first Barbie at thirteen. My three daughters grew up with her and in the early '90's I was blessed with 3 grandaughters. One of my biggest delights was their love of Barbie. In 2005 I was blessed with 3 more grandaughters who are now 3 year olds. I like to keep toys for my grandkids to play with when they visit. I recently bought this house for them. Last night I took it out of the box to look at it. I was SO impressed. It's sturdy.( I was worried that it would be mostly cardboard)..has a huge amount of adorable accessories. I am so delighted with it and I can't wait for my daughters and granddaughters to come visit so I can show it off! I know we will have worlds of fun playing with it. A large shoe box held all of the accesories and furniture.
I was disapponted in the bed but I intend to design one by sewing up a mattress and pillows and a blanket so there will be sleeping space for more than one Barbie.
