Quality Control
By C. Kennedy
Today is my 3 year old daughter's birthday and she has a little sibling on the way any day now so we let her choose an extra special gift from her favorite toy store. That special gift was the Plan Toy Chalet along with many accessories. She was very very excited.Knowing that it would take some time to build, we let her play with the furniture, dolls, etc. while I went to work on the chalet nearby. I am fairly handy with tools and have built my share of models and Ikea furniture over the years.While my daughter played and I worked, it became clear that some of the pieces were not machined properly and thus did not fit together as they should. This would not have been a huge issue if it had been a piece that could be easily altered with a drill or some pliers, but this was one of the floor plates that was not beveled in three critical places making it unusable.Because the Chalet has two parts, I went ahead and built the smaller of the two houses only to find that a critical drill hole had not been made in one of it's floorplates - this was less of a problem as I made the necessary alteration so now it is great.I purchased this really magical toy that was fairly expensive, and in my daughter's mind it came to mean something special even before we started to put it together. Now I have her "living in the guest house" while I have to figure out how to finish the "main house" and it is a pretty big disapointment all around.A little more quality control wouldn't hurt the Plan Toy people, otherwise I see alot of PO'd parents and some pretty interesting voicemails for the company come Christmas Eve.

Great Dollhouse for young kids
By trying to be greener
I really love this dollhouse. It's fairly compact and at the same time it has a lot of rooms and each room is very spacious. Because the rooms are very open, it is really easy for both of my daughters to play with this dollhouse at the same time (The room with the front door is a bit more closed than the other rooms, so that room doesn't get a lot of use, but probably it will when our girls get a little older). We filled this dollhouse with the Calico critters furniture and people, and my daughters play with it every day.

Adorable & Worth any minor troubles
By Mom of 4
First, well this is somewhat irrelivant but Fedex left the box at my door, undisguised, in it's original colorful packaging. I live on a park and anyone could have walked up and taken it had I not been home.But the product itself is great, I love the Chalet. I had fun puting it together while the kids slept (took about 30-40 min while watching TV) and the kids woke up excited to find it in their room. It's about 1:12 scale (which was hard to figure out) so it is easy to furnish with almost any dollhouse furniture. I like Plan's furniture & Ryans room furniture, but in my opinion Educo Educo makes more affordable and modern, more intricate furniture for this scale (See Educo kitchen for example). I'm looking forward to getting the greenhouse next spring, which is a fully functional mini greenhouse, COOL. And in a trip to the craft store I found little houseplants and a tiny bird I glued to the roof.Anyway, I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the wall panel needed to be re-glued before even assembling it, a few peices were wabbley & loose, one wall isnt flush to the floor and one of the stair sets is crooked (not flush with the next level). -This is the charm of wood products and i'm not afraid of wood glue, I just expect a smidge more for this price point. :/ -Still totally worth any minor issues, the kids play with it every day and it looks great in their room!
