Loving my dollhouse

aberthel from Louisville, KY, Jan 26, 2010

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.

Challenging but worth it.

dring0606 from State College, PA, Dec 23, 2009

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.

The Pierce Dollhouse Kit

cheryldarice from Amherst, NY, Oct 5, 2009

The dollhouse came in 3 days from the time I ordered it. It has been a great project and our granddaughter can't wait to start decorating it. It takes time and patients to put it all together and anyone who thinks differently has never been involved with dollhousing before. It is a great house for the money. We only hope we can find a house of similar value when our second granddaughter is old enough.

dollhouse disaster

nvdragonlady from Carson City, NV, Aug 21, 2009

I purchased this dollhouse kit to build for my granddaughter. The boards were warped and required extra gluing and clamping. Many of the pieces needed to be cut out because the dies used did not penetrate the boards. The instructions were vague and at times hard to follow. Unless you have thetime and patience to deal with these factory flaws, I would not recommend this product. My husband and I take much greater pride in our workmanship that the manufacturers do.

It takes time and patience. It is not for a novice. Parts are not easy to put together. I think the material quality could be better.
