I think every Parent has had that moment when they open the box of a toy and pull out a flimsy plastic thing that you know isn't going to last two minutes once your little ones get hold of it.
On the other hand it's lovely to put something together and know that it feels solid and sturdy, this is definitely the case with this beautiful wooden dolls house from Asda. Retailing at just £35, I can see it being a firm number 1 on a lot of little Girls Christmas lists.
It was very easy to put together and very cleverly uses these little plant pots as wedges to secure the sides on.
Made from a mixture of MDF and solid wood, the house measures in a very solid 64.9 x 58.3 x 33cm once assembled. It sits evenly and stands straight - unlike some others I have seen! It is also painted in toy safe George Kids Designed colours.
Liv has genuinely loved playing with her house and has already asked for the wooden dolls house accessories (not included) to complete her house - they have the same cute cut out butterfly motif so match perfectly.
The one minor thing I would say could improve this house, is having slow close hinges on the roof. Liv had a little incident with her finger being caught when she closed the roof on it, there was no mark on her finger as the roof isn't heavy but I would definitely be more aware of it if younger Children are using it (although it is recommended for age 3+)
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to Family and Friends as it really is a gorgeous product that I'm sure Liv will have many years enjoyment out of.
