Last Updated on September 30, 2017 by Cassie Lyons
The Melissa and Doug Classic Heirloom Victorian Dollhouse is a high quality wooden dollhouse offered at a great value. With highly decorative details embellishing both the interior as well as the exterior, this gorgeous Victorian style dollhouse can easily become a family heirloom. The attention to the smallest detail is what truly sets this Melissa and Doug Dollhouse apart from others. Room furnishing sets and accessories are sold separately, allowing parents and children to slowly add to the collection of furniture. The smaller size of the individual rooms in the dollhouse prohibit the use of some dolls for play.
However, parents have recommended that the Polly Pocket series of dolls fit very nicely into the dollhouse. Some reviews mention that when filled with all of the recommended furniture, the rooms become overcrowded, making it difficult for little hands to maneuver dolls and engage in creative play. The house and its furnishings are designed at a 1:12 scale, with the finished size being 26.5 x 28 x 18 when fully assembled. The manufacturer recommends this dollhouse as being suitable for ages 6 and up.
