Tree House (retired)

I checked the treehouse out carefully when I went to AGPC and decided that despite how adorable it is, I would not be purchasing it for my daughters. I think it is an awesome display piece, but very poor for play value. The balcony space in the front gets in the way of trying to do things with the dolls in the house. The doorway opening isnt really that big when it comes to actually having the dolls do things in the house....The pulley is cute...the window is cute, too, but for a child to be able to manipulate the dolls inside the very close and small space, with shorter arms than an adults, seems very difficult and limited. I agree with the above poster who said the back should be hinged and drop down to allow more play space and access. I think AG screwed up on this one...cute as it is!
