This dollhouse, at 4½', is huge and heavy, so you definitely want to assemble it in the space in which it is to remain. I gave it five stars because of its large 9 room size, weight, well-made furniture, and nicely decorated wall surfaces. Parents should take note, however, that its height and weight may pose risk of serious injury to a young child should little hands pull it down, so the most important step upon assembly for me was to secure it to a wall with the two included wall anchors.
Assembly
Two allen hex key wrenches were included, which I supplemented with a medium Phillips head screwdriver and a mini snapoff utility knife.
The first thing I did upon unpacking was to group the parts according to the numbers affixed to each. This proved to be extremely helpful during assembly.
The manufacturer, for some unfathomable reason, chose to forego written instructions for illustrated instructions. Not the easiest to understand, but doable. The parts illustrated, including the hardware, are numbered to correspond with the number affixed to each part. Additionally, some of the hardware is also color coded thereby further easing the assembly somewhat. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience, just one where I found myself occassionally frustrated by all the flipping of both the illustrations and the actual pieces to ensure the proper alignment prior to screwing pieces together. I also found the pictures of the house posted on Amazon to be extremely helpful during those times I found myself totally stumped. I set aside four afternoons, spending about 7 hours in all on assembly.
I also affixed a strand of battery operated mini led lights to the ceiling of each level to better illuminate the play areas. This proved to be a big hit with the grand who loves flipping on the switch each morning.
Materials
The house is accented with solid wood framing on its front and thin strips of wood trim baseboard running along the rear of the floors. The floors and walls are composed of some type of composite material. The floors are decorated to resemble hardwood flooring; the walls are decorated with appropriately themed furniture and fixtures.
The included furniture sets are a very nice bargain as similar wood sets run upwards of $30. Most of the furniture pieces are made of sturdy wood. The tub, toilet, and refrigerator door are plastic. The only small downside that I can see is that tips of the garage door paper finish lifted in the upper corners a tiny bit during assembly. Not too surprised given that the boards are overlayed with glued decorative sheets of paper. A dot of gorilla glue took care of it.
The house is divided into nine living spaces, including a bathroom, patio, and garage, and has a manually operated elevator. My grandchild absolutely loves this dollhouse and enjoys many hours rearranging the included furniture and moving her doll family throughtout the nine living spaces. It is an awesome dollhouse which will grow with her through the years. One of my best toy purchases ever!

Assembly took an evening ,but maybe would have been 3 hrs if I wasn't stopping to do other things in between. All wood so be comfortable with screw driver, Allen wrench and cordless screw driver. Cordless screw driver is a necessity as holes dont conform to all screw sizes. Pre drilled but holes a little smaller than screw thread, so save your hands and use a cordless driver. Instructions were in black and white and detailed. All pieces numbered and screws come categorized in letters. Could have used more written instructions as sometimes it got confusing with so many pieces and screws happening. For the most part, each step of instructions were limited to minimal tasks which made it easy to follow. Also I used a picture from Amazon page of the house put together to get more assistance with making sure right pieces are being placed in the right direction or correct piece. Instructions would be better if it showed the pictures of had detail to ensure you were putting the piece correctly.
Pay attention to colored screws as they need to be used with same color background colors. All of them come mixed so it can be a challenge to find the right color.
Some pointers I learned. Don't tighten all the screws until you have done the next step. With predrilled holes you need a little wiggle room to align the next piece. If tightened if makes it hard to adjust next holes.
Also, holes for screw "I" are smaller than thread, very hard to get started. I found using power drill with Phillip's head directly on the hole and spinning it widened it enough for the thread to enter easier.
I did this on my own, but having a helping hand to help make sure pieces dont move. Need help to move the final product due to size.
Overall 4 yr old approved and worth 160 I bought it for. Fits her regular sized 11inch dolls. She does need a stool to see the top floor.
Hope this helps.

Great doll house. HUGE! 4FT BY 4FT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROOM. Daughter needs stool for top floor. Very sturdy and good quality craftsmanship. All wood product, only plastic was the steps and some of the furniture pieces had plastic on them. Although some furniture had plastic, most the furniture is wood pieces and have fine details.Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020
