I agree that those dollhouses look better, but we had the Victorian Playmobile House with lots of furniture as well as my old dollhouse (with some vintage dollhouse furniture). If the Playmobile house or my old dollhouse won't do, I suspect she would reject the nice wooden dollhouse. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the Barbie Dream House. I have tried substituting items over the years and it didn't turn out too well.

I think we will break down and get it for her. She really wants this to the exclusion of all other things. And DD16 would like it too - she was "teaching" stuffed animals with DD9 last weekend. And DD16 wants the full set of original Scooby-Doo episodes. We have many of them but not all.
