The house is 18 inches high at the roof line, 18 inches wide, and 16 inches deep. Above the porch, French doors open on to a balcony. Turn the house around and you'll find that the back is open, revealing a spiral staircase and white balustrades, making it easy to arrange and furnish the eight distinct living spaces inside. --Richard Farr
This review is from: Calico Critters: Deluxe Village House (Toy)
This is a gorgeous, well-built house, with windows and doors that open and close and other beautiful details like a spiral staircase and dormer windows. And the furniture and accessories sold separately are also adorable and well-made. I love the fact that the inhabitants of the house are animals --- they give it such a storybook quality.

My daughters (3 1/2 and 5) can't stop playing with their house and critter family. Sure, some of the accessories are tiny, but that's what seems to capture their attention and imaginations the most.

At first, I thought I'd buy a wooden house for them, but they hardly play with the one at their preschool -- it seems the boxy, generic furniture and accessories for those houses don't hold their interest for long. Not so with the Calico Critters house. They play for hours putting their critters to bed, giving them baths or setting up little picnics for them.

If you aren't sure which type of house your kids might like better, take them to a toy store where they have both houses set up. My daughters were drawn to the Calico Critters house in the toy store like magnets, so I could tell that was the one for us.

It's true, like another reviewer noted, that not all of the bathroom pieces will fit in one bathroom. Santa just took out the extra pieces that didn't fit! LOL! Also, Santa purchased some of the living room, bedroom and garden furniture from overseas because the Sylvanian Families line available there has more to choose from, including smaller room groups that seem to fit in the house better and are even cuter than what is available in the states. I hope Calico Critters expands their line in the U.S. to offer more of what is currently available under the Sylvanian Families' name.

The only complaint I have is the ladder included with the house to help the critters get to the third floor attic/nursery could have been designed better. It always falls down with even the slightest nudge because there is no way to secure it in place. Putting a lip on the ladder and a slit in the third floor where the ladder could "snap" in would be a nice touch.

Otherwise, the house is really perfect.
