The Laurel Dollhouse Kit

I was very pleased with the price of the doll house compared to other sites. The kit was shipped very quickly. My 93 year old father is assembling the house for my grand daughter, his great grand daughter. It is coming together really well. The pieces fit together nicely and it has not been difficult for him. It is a nice change from putting airplanes together. He painted it just like the piture on the box. It is so cute. I understand an addition is available for the house. I might try to buy it for a later date if my gransdaughter needs more room but so far she has four nice size room and a roomy attic. That should keep her busy

All my granddaughters receive a doll at some point. After building 4 in one year, I can say from experience this is NOT the kit you want for your grandchild. Window moldings are not mitered, door moldings are not mitered, the doors are of poor quality, and the floors are made of 1/8th of plywood which chips at the edges when sanded. Stay away from wood doll houses and go with the masonite. You will be much happier and so will the child. I am giving my granddaughter the Laurel, with the understanding that I am making another doll house that she will be able to keep and enjoy for years. I tried the wood and will never go back to it again. The house arrived when scheduled and all pieces were there. Just not what I was looking for.

I am almost finished with this kit. It is absolutely adorable! It will require hours of work and you have to concentrate on the directions sometimes, but the Greenleaf company has an 800 number to call for questions if you need help. This is my second kit, although the first one I did was atleast a decade ago so I don't remember much about it.It is a great value. I have not found a better price than Overstock and the shipping was super fast.I highly recommend this kit. It has been the most enjoyable project - very rewarding to see the progress.

Yayyy manual labor! OMG, I must love my niece 'cause this is some work! This assembly is something to pass the time but I only have a few days 'til her b'day. I think I'm gonna have her put it together with me, I think she'll appreciate it more & take all the credit when it's done. If you want a new hobby & have plenty of time on your hands this is the way to go.You're gonna need: A steady well lit work area, hot glue gun & glue sticks, extra sand paper, lead pencil and eraser, emery board, wood filer, stiff bristled brush, masking tape, paint brush+paint >if you don't want it to look like a big wooden box. I'm gonna use Christmas wrap for the wall paper. If you don't get a glue gun It will take longer to put together with regular wood/Elmer's glue and your gonna need clamps. It's a great starter house as a new hobby for you and/or a child. But too many small, fragile pieces and splinters can make anyone quite frustrated. The project requires a steady hand and plenty of patience. *I would recommend this product to someone with plenty free time, friends, family, and old people...ha ha.
