Frequently Asked Questions
Why do dolls houses need professional assembly?
Wooden dolls houses like KidKraft and similar have hundreds of parts, tiny screws, fiddly stickers, and confusing instructions. It takes hours and tests patience. We do it while you do something else.
What about all the little furniture pieces?
Included - we assemble any furniture that comes with it and position it in the house. Some people prefer children to do this bit themselves for the excitement.
How long does a big dolls house take?
Large wooden dolls houses typically take 2-3 hours. Simpler plastic ones are quicker. We'll tell you beforehand based on the model.
Should I do this before or after Christmas?
Before - ideally a few days before. Nothing worse than spending Christmas Day fighting with Allen keys instead of playing with your child.
