    Default Dolls house

    I am looking to buy a wooden dolls house, my 12 year old neice has the elc victorian house but she won't let me have it! lol
    I think its a bit big for what i want anyway. Does anyone have one that they would recommend? I have seen one an elementree one on e-bay but it doesn't say much about it so if anyone has it can they let me know if its sturdy enough for a 2 year old to play with please?
    I'd like one that i can leave out all the time but with doors that shut so it looks neat and tidy at weekends!

    I've had this one for a year and the doors have fallen off twice and they are really small screws. Maybe its my DIY skills as it came flat pack. I only have three daughters but have had it downstairs for mindees.

    I got the old ELC on ebay fro £35 with all the dolls and furniture. The one they sell now doesn't seem nearly as sturdy either. I have one very similar to the pintoy one brand new and flatpacked at home. Not sure where you are based. i bid for it at the same time as the ELC one and won both bids! send me a PM if you're interested.
