I just got this piece today. I bought mine from a board member for 175$ including shipping, but on ebay most of the ones I've watched have gone for 200$, not including shipping.
Would it be worth 200$+ shipping? You get a bed, a desk, and a storage system. Looking at the designerdiana's calculations, you get a deal--plus factor in that you don't get a nightstand, you get a DESK, which is even more expensive.
I think that this makes a great bedroom for a modern girl. I love that it looks kind of like something you'd find at IKEA, which was perfect for my character. Another cool thing about it is that you can decorate the way you would if you had a dedicated bedroom space for your doll, without actually having to put posters on your wall or attach a shelf to your wall. It works great for small spaces, because you can quickly move the whole setup to a more convenient spot, and it keeps all the doll action confined to a very small space. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much the drawers held, and although I would have liked a rack to hang clothes, the shelves in the closet also hold more than I thought they would. At the moment, all of my doll's stuff that she is not wearing is in this thing--granted, my collection is quite small. The ledges and shelves provide ample space for toys/book/etc. that your doll might have.
Notice a doll. This is a piece that will really only work for a single doll's room. If you have a lot of dolls and you want them all to have beds and such, you may be better off purchasing, say, a bunk bed, a table and chairs, and a trunk. For a small collection though, this is fabulous and worth even the secondary market prices. As someone said above, though, I don't really understand why they didn't utilize the space next to the drawers to add two more. And again, I wish there was more space to hang stuff. Overall though, this is the absolute best solution for storage and display of my personal collection, and I would give it an A+. Whether it work as well for someone else depends on what they have and what they want from their doll furniture.
