This was our first “grownup” Lego build and it did not disappoint! The instructions were so easy to follow! And we are loving playing now that it’s complete!! 10/10 recommend!

Cute for Gabby fans
This was a great beginner build for a 4 y/o who did all the building and just had some help with identifying parts/the fiddly final step of attaching it all together. She does, however, have some complaints: she thinks pieces are missing because the set of characters isn’t complete (DJ, Baby Box and Carlita aren’t included) and also there’s not a ‘curly swirly tail’ for the back of the house.

Flimsy
Instructions are clear and easy. But final product is flimsy. Top part is not very well attached. Lift is wobbly and easly detaches from the rest.

Oh no, Gabby and her Gabby Cats can't get around the house that way! We recommended some rebuilding while making sure that every piece is pushed firmly together and that there isn't a piece or two in the wrong place. If that doesn't help, our experts are happy to take a look at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
So Cute!
My 4 year old niece loved building this set which we picked up after visiting Legoland. The instructions were easy to follow and she loved all the special pieces. We think a few more pieces at the top would be helpful to keep the three main “towers & elevator” together. We’re also struggling to find the location of the QR code on the instructions and packaging so we can register it and get points.

Gabby awesome house
This set is exciting and really compares to the tv program in looks and feel. Just way more money then I wanted to spend.

Not very stable after completed
I usually love Lego sets for my kids, but this one kept falling apart after my daughter built it. I had to mount it to a plate and add a support at the top, both should have been part of the design for this price.

Flimsy
You will get to rebuild this so many times you will have the directions memorized. It feels like this set is missing some critical structural pieces that would help this kit stay together. One wrong move and catestrophic failure! The whole house will split and break into pieces. The elevator is a particular weak point with no flat bar pieces across the top to keep the columns together.

That's not the experience we want you to have! If you'd like help troubleshooting your build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, please reach out at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can take a look.
A pinch disappointing
With a Gabby crazy 4.5yo the full Gabby's Dollhouse Lego set was a no brainer Christmas gift for a girl who is moving on from her duplo. The skill level was slightly beyond her, so supervision was necessary. The finished product looks fantastic with all the fun Gabby's Dollhouse feels except for a few missing characters, which would be great if there were additional mini sets to fill in the gaps for the missing characters instead of doubling up on the ones that already come with the house. As per other reviews we feel the complete set needs a base plate and is isn't as strong as other sets we've seen over the years. Additionally, our little girl was frustrated having to turning the house around to play with the rooftop rooms, so we've moved these around a little. She also gets annoyed that all the Gabby characters hair won't stay on, the connection needs to be deeper. Overall we give it a 4 out of 5.
