Question 1

Do furniture and accessories (ie dishes) come with this? What exactly comes with it?

Accepted Answer

Some furniture comes with it , but no dishes.

Question 2

is the whole house made of wood? or just the frame? is the floor made of paper board or wood?

Accepted Answer

The frame is solid wood (sanded but not clear coated).  Some of the floors look like a thin plywood, but my husband says it is probably a veneered masonite because plywood curls when it is really thin.  Some of the floors for sure look like a composite wood, specifically the largest floor piece on the bottom.  Also the back panels and roof pieces look to be a composite type wood also.  If you are looking for a solid wood doll house, the Plan Toys Terrance dollhouse is suppose to be solid wood except for the flooring which is suppose to be wood sheets pressed together like plywood; Plan Toys told me it is not actually plywood because of the process they use which does not include the use of all the noxious chemicals.  I was under the impression from the information on Amazon and contacting Hape directly that the Hape All Season Doll House house was solid wood and was disappointed to find out, after purchasing it, that is not the case!  I am OK with the use of some plywood, by not composites (MDF and particle board)!  It is not nearly as durable and off-gases noxious chemicals - plywood off-gases also but usually on a lesser scale.  Solid wood is the best, but is harder to find because it seems that a lot of companies use plywood for the thinner pieces because it does not warp as easy as solid wood.  Elves and Angels however does make doll houses that are suppose to be all solid unfinished wood.  The Hape house is really cute and our kids love it, but I wish I would have purchased the Plan Toys house and am still considering exchanging it, because I am really miffed about the composite wood and it smelled of chemicals the first week or so.  We chose the Hape house because it has more fun colors and the furniture is cuter.  However the Plan toys and Hape furniture is very close to the same size and can be used in either house.  We have furniture from both companies.  The Hape furniture is clear coated and except for the colored sections, the Plan toys is not - it is just sanded really smooth.  Also the Plan toys furniture looks like it is higher quality.   I hope this helps!

Question 3

I can't decide between this one and the Plan Toys chalet house! The one with two pieces.

Accepted Answer

We chose this one over the chalet. It is easy to pick up & move with the ooenings at the top - one handed. The floor spaces are more optimal for furniture placement (in my opinion). Kids don't need 2 sections of building to create something different every time because you can rearrange furniture & rooms as you see fit. Its colors are more fun yet still neutral. And of course theres the fun of switching to winter on the roof. ;)

Question 4

does it come with dolls

Accepted Answer

No this set does not come with dolls. Perhaps an older set did several years ago.
