The Pierce Dollhouse Kit

Received the doll house in a timely manner. It was packed well and the packaging in good shape. However, the wood in some places was warped, especially the foundation. It was almost like it had water damage. Punching out the pieces has been a hassle because they are not cut all the way through and break very easy. But we have worked through these problems and hope the finished product is one we can be proud of. I would like to add that working with Overstock.com has been a very pleasant experience.

Bought this for my wife who had wanted a dollhouse. This was her first and proved to be fairly easy to put together however would recommend decorating prior to putting together as it was difficult to establish decor once put together.

I love this. I am not finished, but I am almost there. It has actually been very simple. It took two days after I had bought the dollhouse to receive it. When I got it I went through it that night and made sure I had all the pieces. It's not great wood, but it looks good with a stain on it. As the advice pamphlet said (read and reread this), I painted, wallpapered, and stained everything before I put it together. I have only stained and painted things when I have needed them so that I don't forget what pieces they are. Having a glue gun is very important for this and they're not that much. Labeling also helps, but make sure you write where it is going to get covered. I expect that it will take me a month 1/2 to two months to fully put this thing together. Make sure you buy any hinges, mailboxes, or other little things you want to attach to the house before you fully put it together. The key to this project is thinking it threw several times.

I purchased this kit to build for my daughter for christmas. I admit i was nervous when i opened the box and saw all the pieces and the "warm up sheet" for the instructions. It was a challenge to do but I had a great time doing it. You need to be careful when removing the pieces from the sheets but as long as you are careful and follow the directions you will have fun putting this together. If you are not detail oreinted or get frustrated easily this is not a project you should undertake. Make sure you sand pieces well or you can have some splinter issues.
