Looks a lovely toy. Box colourful and inviting and you can see exactly what you are purchasing. A great fun idea to get creating and design lots of different room layouts. This comes with different textured materials, wallpapers, sofa some cushions, table and stickers. So you can really reach out to your creative side. You have the main stage set which is robust and the materials supplied are good but some of the accessories are cardboard so you have to handle with care. Jennifer really enjoyed creating her own little world for her dolls and she was very careful using the items. She has always been very meticulous and precise and treated some of the pieces supplied with extra special care. She tends to design a room and then create her own little world and a week later will decide to change design. This is a great toy for any little girl but I would suggest improving the durability of the cardboard pieces supplied as these can easily get damaged. Such a great concept and if all of the pieces supplied for this set were robust then it would be ideal for any little girl. We have had fund using this toy and will continue to use it. Would purchase as a gift for Xmas if I see it on special offer. Patricia Holmes –Jennifer 8 years

Looks like a product every little girl would enjoy playing with. Designing their own room for numerous dolls to play in is great fun. Packaging is bright and colourful. Clear what the product is.Variety of furnishings but some of the items are just made of cardboard so not very robust. The age suitability is very appropriate. She really enjoyed playing with the toy and finding different ways to decorate the room. She used the room with a variety of dolls. Needed help with changing the rooms as it quite easily fell apart when you tried to alter your original design? She will use it but not as often as I would have hoped as it does get frustrating to keep setting it up and to make changes. She enjoyed playing with it as long as an adult was on hand to help when things fell apart. Design suggestions – Use connectors which actually click in together firmly so that once the sofa is in place it doesn’t fall apart when you try to move it or change the decor of the room. This could be a fantastic toy for a little girl but it is held back by basic construction errors. Rebecca Symons – Lucy 7 years

Looks so delightful and Heidi could not wait to start using this toy. Packaging is very eye catching and you can see the product clearly. Would stand out in stores. This comes with all the accessories you need to create your own designer room. A good idea to let your child be creative and work out room layout and colour co-ordination. The main part of this toy is really sturdy and will last. However, some of the wall accessories are made of cardboard and unfortunately a few of these got damaged. The concept of this toy is good but the reality of playing with it due to some pieces being flimsy means its life span is shorter. My daughter was delighted to receive this to review but found the smaller cardboard parts fiddly to use and easily damaged. This would be a first rate toy for girls if this issue was addressed. The time she had to play with it was good quality time and held her attention. Price I think is high. Just upgrade some of the accessories and this would be a winner and keep any girl engaged and entertained. Anna Carter – Heidi 8 years
