Based on these weekly magazines, these 2 houses were build slowly over a period of 2 years. Every week, with each magazine, came a part of the house, unpainted, just blank wood, or a piece of furniture, which had to be set together. The quality of the wood here wasn't very good and being totally honest, it was a mess once the whole thing was assembled. But with a little knowledge and imagination, the result isn't so bad after all.

In order to be able to even lift up or move the house once the whole thing was assembled, I had to add a thicker wood so the house would not fall apart. I covered the whole house (side walls, back, roof and front panels) with 6 mm MDF and repainted it. If I hadn't done that, the house would have been good for garbage; the wood used to assemble the house was too thin and really not a quality wood. Now, I can at least lift it, move it from one place to another.

But still, I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND to any of you to build such a house, especially not to beginners, since it will dissapoint you too much and stop you from building another one.

The second one wasn't as bad as the first one, but not really better quality either. Again, with a weekly magazine came a part of the house or a piece of furniture, only this time the interior walls were already painted and the furniture was ready to be used. Something I really did not like was the wallpapers, because interior windows and doors were kind of painted on and this didn't look realistic at all.

The final result looked a bit better though, but later I found out that the model was a copy of an existing dollhouse, only the quality of the wood wasn't as good as it should be for a dollhouse.

The thing is ..... a dollhouse should last a long time, to allow you to enjoy it for many years and maybe even your children after you.

These 2 houses were definitely not for the next generation.
