A beautiful princess castle that is sturdy and engaging! July 7, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3212ORLINH0LF Here's a brief review of the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Folding Castle. The castle itself is sturdy and surprisingly detailed in its construction. Its so beautiful and my 4.5 year-old preschooler absolutely adores it. Since it doesn't come with any accessories [there is furniture which is sold separately I believe, but we elected not to purchase them as we have plenty of dolls and odds and ends to furnish the castle with]. I did purchase a dragon, a knight, a fairy on a horse, and a catapult as some fun accessories. On the whole, this is a well-made product which I intend to keep for years to come.
GORGEOUS, HUGE Worth every penny! Updated review TWO years later... March 3, 2007

FINALLY! A castle for girls DIMENSIONS: 18" W x 15"deep closed and 26"high (Including the flag) and an incredible 36" or 3 FEET long when unfolded. Bigger than my daughter's dollhouse, this princess castle is enormous, and folds out to be even bigger, it is natural wood with very pretty screened (not hand painted but still very nice) flowery decorations. We try to buy all wood toys (some painted some not) and this was, while not unadorned, a very beautiful alternative to the nauseatingly pink and plastic princess castles out there. The roof and turrets are pink accented with gold, a very nice and pretty touch. The quality is excellent, as are all Melissa & Doug items. Don't even hesitate to get this one - your daughter will absolutely love it. When you consider how unique it is, how beautiful and well-made it is, how BIG IT IS, and how now your daughter can have a castle to rival that of your son's, it is well worth it. This is actually bigger than my son's blue castle. My two play with theirs together and the hours of imagination and cooperative play with all the different story lines (his knights and her princesses) is just endless. May 2008: UPDATE: over a year later and this castle is still is perfect shape after hours and hours of play. The ONLY caveat would be the flag - it is held on by a magnet, which does make sense since if it had been glued on it would have broken off by now, but it gets lost easily and the castle looks so much prettier with the flag on. To contradict myself, being able to take it off easily lets my children act out "capture the flag" storyline. I just have to move heaven and earth to find it when misplaced. I cannot believe how much this product has come down in price. I paid over [...] for this when it was first released. Now, with a lower price and Amazon Prime free shipping, you can't go wrong. As a commenter pointed out, it is small inside for furniture, but, this is not really a dollhouse after all. Add the fantasy/princess figures, a unicorn for the unicorn stable and your children will be all set. UPDATE JANUARY 2009 I just purchased the M&D matching princess furniture. The castle has held up to much playing and still looks brand new. After the Tinkerbell movie, it became a fairy castle. The Papo fairy and princess doll figures, Tales and Legends I think, fit perfectly, too. The Disney princess figurines (the mini ones, favorite moments) are a good size also. I am still very happy with this purchase and daughter is still playing happily with it. Our local upscale toystore has this for just under a hundred dollars. Amazon's price is still the best around.
A great castle for a princess! April 2, 2008

We were searching for a doll house, and all seemed to be plastic junk, made for barbie size, boring, or very expensive. This was a great find (and at a great price). Warning: the Melissa and Doug doll house furniture are really too big for this. SOLUTION: The Playmobil stuff, Royal Bedroom #4253 by Playmobil for instance, is PERFECT. They have several rooms meant to extend the Playmobil castle that fit nicely as additions to this castle (we have the kitchen Royal Kitchen). All the playmobil stuff goes in a box, the castle folds shut, and the whole thing can go in the closet when my daughter is not playing with it. Yippie!
Very nice! June 8, 2007

My two daughters (4 and 2 1/2) both love playing with this. I bought Disney Princess figurines to go with it. It also looks nice in the room when they're not playing with it. Very good quality. I'm sure it will last a very long time. Sometimes the flag, which attaches with magnets, falls off, but that's no big deal.

The castle has provided hours upon hours of enjoyment. My girls are 3 and 5, and use their imagination and play Princesses all of the time (there is even a dungeon, with sliding doors, for their evil dragon). I am so impressed with the quality of this castle and all of the little rooms and alcoves - it fits the Disney Princesses (the Polly Pocket type) perfectly. I purchased some furniture by Fisher Price - "Loving Family" and it is just the right size for furnishing the rooms. I looked at so many plastic castles, but am so glad we purchased this one instead. It's so important for children to develop creativity and use their imaginations and this castle is just great for creative play, plus you can't go wrong the durability and quality that Melissa and Doug use to make toys - did I mention it is absolutely adorable! When they get to the Barbie stage I'm afraid the rooms in this castle might be too small, but I plan on keeping it for them to pass down to their children someday. This is an outstanding toy for little girls who love the little Disney Princesses, and for parents who are looking for a durable toy that fosters imaginative growth.
