User Submitted Hasbro Playskool Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage ReviewsDate: 2008-11-25 Needs a couple of upgrades This was a gift for our two year old daughter. She is now three, and the house still stands! Its cloth walls are very nice, but there are a couple of issues. First, the house is in two pieces. This is very nice to make it more compact when not in use, but when my daughter is playing, there is nothing to keep it together - velcro would be nice to have on the floor of the cottage to attach the two halves together. Second, the door is made to have a top half and bottom half - not the greatest idea, my daughter just needs one door piece to open and close, not two separate pieces. On a good note, the frame is pretty sturdy - one day my daughters decided to flip the halves to the side and make them into boats! Again, velcro attaching the two house halves together may have prevented this, but the frame stayed together and the house still stands! Date: 2008-10-29 A 2 year old's dream house I bought the cottage for my 2 year old daughter. Little did I know that it would be such a big hit, even with my 6 year old!! Although it took almost 1 hour and 45 min to put together, it was well worth it. The metal frame was not difficult to put together, but we did have to bang it on the floor and apply a lot of pressure to get the pieces to fit tightly with the plastic conectors. The most difficult and time consuming part was fitting the canvas over the frames. The girls couldn't wait to get into it, so much so that they were playing with it while we were still trying to put the second half together. The first night that we got it the girls spent and hour and a half playing together, without fighting. Such a great toy that fosters imagination, creativity, and independent play. We bought the sink to go with the stove and this too was a big hit. We did not buy the nursery set because we have the Bitty Baby crib from American Girl that fits nicely in the house, although it does not leave much room for the Bitty changing table when the house is closed. My girls have spent countless hours playing house, tea party, and their favorite game baby and we have only had the cottage for about a week. Super great purchase that I would highly recommend to anyone with a little girl in their life. Date: 2008-10-28 Falls short of the same toy sold in Britain The problem I'm having with buying this toy is that we originally saw it in Britain and then went looking for it over here in the U.S. We found it here, but not exactly the same. The one sold in Britain from places like the Early Learning Center, is at least 3 inches bigger all around and also has a much cuter look to it with the little peak above the door. Of course, to buy in dollars rather than pounds, would cost the earth so I'll probably settle with the American version. Just disappointed that it had to be made much cheaper in look and dimension. Date: 2008-08-13 Hasbro Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage Our youngest granddaughter loves the cottage! So do her friends. This is the best gift for girls you can purchase. Received it within a three day period. I have told all my friends to buy this from AMAZON! Date: 2008-08-09 what a pain to set up but fun for the kids! okay this gave me a headache. it was a pain in the you know where to set up. i have absolutely no patience so i guess it's why it frustrated me so easily. but once it was set up, i had to admit it was the cutest thing. my daughters are 8 and 10! they fit in there perfectly and played with it for hours! they even involved their brother and the dog. it seems like it will hold up well and last. my daughter was so excited to get it she even hosted a sleepover in her new house.
