User Reviews On The 3 Story Dream Townhouse

Here's a few user reviews from Amazon.com on the Barbie Townhouse. An overhwelming majority of people were satisfied but a few had problems especially with assembly and getting things to work right. However it seems that most kids don't mind the flaws and have a great time with it anyway, but take a look at the reviews and see what you think, here's the three I found to be most descriptive...

"We bought this for our 7 year old daughter this summer and it is still working great. She loves this doll house! We also still have my original 1975 Barbie Townhouse (3 story), and it sits right next to this one. My daughter has been using the 1970's house since she was 4. I'm not sure the new one would have stood up to the usage of a 4 year old. It requires gentler usage than the old style..." - Portion of Actual Customer Review by Shopper Mom on Amazon.com
"My 8 year old twin girls love this. It was a chore to put together, but if you pay attention they have done a great job of "keying" all of the parts so that it will only go together one way. Just stop and look at the pieces if your not sure..." - Portion of Actual Customer Review by Mr. Shaffer on Amazon.com
"...Since receiving this from Santa, my daughter has had a great time playing with it. The elevator and jacuzzi seem to be the biggest hit for her. Unfortunately, the durability of the product does not seem to be the best. The pop-up TV no longer "pops-up" automatically. The light that goes on when the door opens is not consistently going on. The doorbell button has a tendency to stick. One of the tabs holding the shower in-place has broke (this tab was partially broken when I opened the box for assembly). One of the table chairs will not stay together.

Another thing to mention is that the barbie dolls that my daughter has seem to be a bit too tall for this townhouse. The tops of their heads hit the ceiling and makes it difficult to move around within the house. My daughter has seemed to adapt to this and it doesn't seem to bother her too much..." - Portion of Actual Customer Review by Mr. Latham on Amazon.com

The Perfect Barbie Dream House

We bought this for our 2 gandchildren as a Christmas gift. My husband assembled it. He is very mechanically inclined. If anyone could assemble it properly, he could. The shower would not go in straight, and so the electrical connection to it was not made. Thus Barbie could not sing in the shower. The refrigerator did not light up, the fireplace did not crackle, and the light in the dining room didn't work. We returned the item. But even without these dysfunctions, the house is so cheaply and poorly made that I don't recommend it. There are no interior walls to help stablize it. It just has the pillers supporting the interior. If you would just set Barbie on the floor, the whole house would shake. If a child bumped into it(and that wouldn't have to be very hard), I think the whole thing would fall over backwards. The elements are made of thin, cheap plastic--the horizontal poles on the canopy bed bend and would break easily, and even the fence around the spa doesn't stand straight because the plastic is so flimsy. I expect some of the furniture and small pieces would soon be broken. What fun or educational value does it have if it is broken? Spare yourself the disappointment and save your money. There are other doll houses made to the scale of Barbie that are better made.

Barbie Pink 3-Story Dream Townhouse

If you're looking for a gift that will make your little girl squeal with joy you've found it with the Barbie Pink 3-Story Dream Townhouse. This Barbie House is the ultimate in Barbie fun.

I don't know about you but when my daughters were little they absolutely loved Barbie dolls, it was really the default gift for them if we couldn't think of anything else to get them. I know they would have adored this cute playhouse and spent hours playing together in it.

From my reading on Amazon everyone's little girls loved this playhouse, especially the new doorbell that actually chimes when pressed. A couple more cool features are the 3 story elevator, light up chandelier, and of course Barbie can now sing in the shower!

Most of the problems with the house come with the assembly and can be enough to drive you nuts… The included instructions are a single sheet of xerox paper that basically lists the features. However if you're an enterprising soul and would love to see your daughters gleefully occupied for hours on end I'm sure they'll love this Dreamhouse! And you can always find out what worked for other parents online…

A REVIEW OF BARBIE PINK 3-STORY DREAM TOWNHOUSE

I recently bought this house from Amazon.com. I am very happy with my purchase. The best deal for this house is on Amazon, as shipping was free and no tax! It arrived super quick even with super saver shipping, and with nothing broken amazingly enough because it was simply shipped in the house's actual box and not put inside another shipping box--so beware if you are buying this as a surprise gift maybe ship it to a friend's house or work as your child will know what's inside!

The lights and sound work great--although I had to put the batteries in and out twice to get the sounds to work, not sure why. Another customer was right, the elevator is the trickest part to put together--but I discovered that I was trying the to fit the top clip in the opposite way, oopsy. Once I fixed that, it only took me another minute to clip in. I was reading some reviews on another toy website, and people were having trouble getting the fireplace to work--I did too until I realized that it was shipped with the fireplace not completely snapped into the back wall. As soon as I pushed the fireplace back into its clips on the back wall, it worked great! I am so excited about this doll house. It will make a great display for my collector dolls. The only problem I see is how in the world I am going to move this house if I move someplace else as it's extremely huge and doesn't look like it can easily be taken apart. It might be a one time assembly, but not sure yet.

It really is the best Barbie brand house I have ever owned, and I owned plenty as a kid--wish they had this when I was growing up--although I don't know if my parents would have sprung for it! However, I think it's worth the high price tag if your little one is a huge Barbie fan! Get this house today while you can! I think that once it hits the store shelves this Christmas, it will go fast and be a hard item to find!! Must have toy for Barbie girls this Christmas for sure!
