Spa Chair
Item# F5355
She can treat her doll to a spa day! Just like the real thing, this padded spa chair tips back so she can "wash" her doll's hair with the pull-out sprayer, or give her a pedicure in the foot bath. The faucet and footbath make bubbly water sounds! Set also includes:
A faux bottle of shampoo
A bottle of pretend spa salts
Make-believe nail polish bottles
An embroidered bath towel
Three sheets of nail stickers
A mini magazine for her doll to read while she enjoys salon treatments
$110
This was purchased for my 8 y.o. daughter in December of 2013. Unfortunately she's already misplaced a few of the accessories, but you can see how this item has held up after 6 months of real-girl play.
The chair is made of nice heavy weight, durable plastic and has a substantial feel to it. It has a non-slip bottom as well so it stays in place during play. The seat is topped with padded vinyl.
The seat tips forward for a soak in the foot bath or backward for a hair wash. The velcro strap secures the doll into the seat, otherwise she'd slip down with the chair is in the forward position. I am using a plastic band to secure the spray nozzle in Cécile's hand.
The foot bath has non-working "buttons". The silver lever moves back and forth, but doesn't appear to do anything else. AG's description says that the foot bath makes bubbly sounds, but the button for the bubbly sounds is actually on the chair (turquoise button pictured under the left arm rest) and the sound emanates from underneath the sink portion of the chair. They are very nice bubbly sounds though! The foot bath also has a drain with real holes in the bottom, so it would be impossible to actually fill with water, which is probably a very good thing.
The sink portion features a sprayer that pulls out on red plastic tubing. The sink nozzle turns and produce a running water sound effect. The drain pictured is also a 'real' drain and would prevent the sink from actually holding water.
As I mentioned, my daughter has misplaced some of the accessories (the towel, a bottle of nail polish, and the stickers), but the ones she found are very nice quality and well made. None of the tops open. The Doll Style magazine has 8 pages including the front and back cover and has cute "articles" and "ads" that you can read if you have a magnifying glass or young eyes.
The price is pretty steep at $110 but it is a quality piece. I would say this has moderate play value for a child, particularly if your child is interested in pretend salon.
Overall, I would rate this item B+, with the biggest "con" that it is slightly overpriced. If it was $85, I'd give it a solid A.
