Very Good
She just turned 4 and it was the first set she built by herself. She loves the dollhouse and the characters, she liked the building experience.
She plays a bit rough so I rearranged two bricks at the top to secure the three parts of the building together and also secured it on a couple of 16x16 plates so she doesn't tip it over.

Flimsy
You will get to rebuild this so many times you will have the directions memorized. It feels like this set is missing some critical structural pieces that would help this kit stay together. One wrong move and catestrophic failure! The whole house will split and break into pieces. The elevator is a particular weak point with no flat bar pieces across the top to keep the c...

Perfect for my 4yo!
Lego knocked it out of the park with this one. The instructions are super easy to interpret — my 4yo daughter only needed to call us over a couple of times for help! She took such pride in putting it together 95% by herself and loves playing with it. Wish it had every Gabby's Dollhouse character but love it overall.

Grandson loves it but...
Grandson received this for his fourth birthday, and was able to put it together with minimal assistance. He loves it, but there are some design flaws. Everyone is right: the roof is a fail. Had to pull out pieces from our use-your-imagination Lego to reinforce it. The ears are constantly falling out as well. Also could have used a way to secure the saxophone. The book d...

Perfect for my 4.5 yr old granddaughter
This was our first “grownup” Lego build and it did not disappoint! The instructions were so easy to follow! And we are loving playing now that it’s complete!! 10/10 recommend!

Cute for Gabby fans
This was a great beginner build for a 4 y/o who did all the building and just had some help with identifying parts/the fiddly final step of attaching it all together. She does, however, have some complaints: she thinks pieces are missing because the set of characters isn’t complete (DJ, Baby Box and Carlita aren’t included) and also there’s not a ‘curly swirly tail’ for...

Flimsy
Instructions are clear and easy. But final product is flimsy. Top part is not very well attached. Lift is wobbly and easly detaches from the rest.

Response from Staples :
Oh no, Gabby and her Gabby Cats can't get around the house that way! We recommended some rebuilding while making sure that every piece is pushed firmly together and that there isn't a piece or two in the wrong place. If that doesn't help, our experts are happy to take a look at LEGO.build/Service-BV.

So Cute!
My 4 year old niece loved building this set which we picked up after visiting Legoland. The instructions were easy to follow and she loved all the special pieces. We think a few more pieces at the top would be helpful to keep the three main “towers & elevator” together. We’re also struggling to find the location of the QR code on the instructions and packaging so we can...

Not very stable after completed
I usually love Lego sets for my kids, but this one kept falling apart after my daughter built it. I had to mount it to a plate and add a support at the top, both should have been part of the design for this price.

A pinch disappointing
With a Gabby crazy 4.5yo the full Gabby's Dollhouse Lego set was a no brainer Christmas gift for a girl who is moving on from her duplo. The skill level was slightly beyond her, so supervision was necessary. The finished product looks fantastic with all the fun Gabby's Dollhouse feels except for a few missing characters, which would be great if there were additional min...

Not the best
We were highly anticipating this set as my daughter loves Gabby’s Dollhouse and she is a big Lego enthusiast so it was a no brainer what to get her for Christmas!
Building it was as expected, to her age and skills. However put it all together was really disappointing, it was not very thought through, does not stay together…the minute you want to move it or play with it...

Average set
We purchased this set for our 4yr daughter.
She has the non Lego version but gets frustrated with it as the doors don’t close and the figures fall over and when she moves the house all the components fall out.
I am a big Lego fan and insisted that the Lego version would fix these problems.
The build was very repetitive for a 4 year old.

Easy build but lacking a little
Build was age appropriate for a young child, and my child was able to do with little to no assistance. Lots of extra little touches that made it special. For the build as others have said it really needs a flat finishing piece across the top to better attach the elevator across the top. You can even see in the product photos that it isn’t well attached which makes it...

Love it but disappointed 😞
So we love the dollhouse because we figured it would be better built then the plastic dollhouse you can buy with paper backgrounds. This proves to be better in that aspect including the functionable elevator. This was much better quality and ease of use.
Things that were disappointing... It is much smaller then we had thought it would be. The pieces/characters are tinie...

Mostly good - missing too many characters
We’re a huge Lego family, and my preschooler is obsessed with Gabby’s Dollhouse right now so the Gabby Lego sets were a no-brainer. Overall, she loves this set and the other three currently out.
However, she’s very disappointed that she has two MerCat figures, two Cakey figures, and two Pandy figures but she’s missing: BabyBox, Carlita, CatRat, DJ Catnip, and PillowCa...

Good but missing the ears
My daughter got the set for Christmas. It was her top item on her years, but unfortunately she was so sad because the paper ears were missing.

Wish there were all the characters
My daughter (7) got this set for Christmas and it’s the first set she’s been enthusiastic about building, and the first one she’s been able to do mostly on her own. The only drawback is (and it’s a minor one) that it doesn’t have all the characters from the TV show. She was sad that DJ Catnip, Carlita, and CatRat were missing. Overall, I would definitely recommend this ...

Adorable but lacking
We LOVE Lego! Gabby’s Dollhouse was an incredible build for our newest Lego enthusiast (4 years old). She was able to build it with minimal help. The directions with the little hands were incredibly helpful and easy for her to follow and build her independence. The inside is filled with beautiful details that my daughter loved and recognized from the show.

That sounds like you and your daughter had a great time building this set! Thanks for sharing how we could make the build more stable. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!
