Pros: Well-made, durable and FUN, FUN, FUN.

The Bottom Line: This house is absolutely adorable and comes with wonderful accessories. I highly recommend it because it's fun, durable and well-made. Just don't forget to buy two 5.5" dolls.

| happytobealive's Full Review: Bandai Strawberry Shortcake Berry Happy Home |
This is one fun house to play with and the quality of the house is excellent. It comes with a multitude of accessories, such as a dresser, chest, tea set for two, an adorable strawberry lamp that works, two chairs and a table, a bed with a pillow and bedspread, a strawberry clock, a wardrobe with hangers, and decal stickers to decorate the home. Additionally, the doorbell rings.
My daughter and I have had a lot of fun playing with this, but keeping up with the really small items has been a task that I have managed through much perseverance. My daughter really enjoys this and I know that if I were her age, I'd love it just as much as she does.
The only downside to this adorable house is that the furniture is compatible with the 5.5 inch dolls which must be purchased separately.
Additionally, if you are thinking that the furniture can be played with inside of the home, think again. It is so large that you must open the home, like a fan and play with the bed and wardrobe outside of the home, like next to it, but not inside. Only the dresser, table and chairs fit inside the home. Also, you must cram it all into the house and then close it when using it for storage. I don't find any of the above alarming in any way, because I consider all of the accessories to be a bonus for such a wonderful house. Such a small price to pay to have great fun with high-quality pieces of furniture and accessories. All of it is very well-made and will last as long as the players aren't violent.
Did I mention that it comes with two window boxes filled with flowers (plastic and placed outside of the home under the windows) and a cute strawberry plant (placed on the "grass")?
I highly recommend this toy for children who are mature at three (do not place any small items into their mouths) or for four year olds on up. If your child loves to play house, this will be a treat. Just make sure you buy two of the 5.5 inch friends, so that it will be the most pleasurable.
I have also purchased the really small figures and they are just too small because they can't sit on the chairs properly or anything.
This house and all of its accessories come highly recommended. Enjoy!
