Product Description
The Garfield is the largest model that Greenleaf makes, and is surely one of the most impressive dollhouses to be found anywhere. Nathaniel Hawthorne hadn't seen when he wrote his classic The House Of The 7 Gables, but indeed the mansion has 7 peaks as well as a full wrap-around porch, 2 balconies, and 2 bay windows. You'll find easy access to the 10 large rooms, in addition to the corner opening there is a removable roof section and a lift-off turret atop the secret tower chamber. With its wonderful gingerbread trim and lovely detail, the Garfield is magnificent! Shingles are not included. Measurements: Kit: 24" x 33" x 4-1/4", assembled size: 40" x 41-1/2" x 29-1/2". Made in USA.

Greenleaf Dollhouse Deluxe Kit-GarfieldObviously The project isn't complete a month after purchase - this is an extremely large dolls house, and a long term project that requires a moderate level of ability and a great deal of patience.The dolls house is made of wood, so it is heavy - 52 pounds in fact! However, it is laser cut, requiring only that you carefully extract the pre-cut pieces from the slabs of wood, then sand to get a neat fit. Time consuming and exacting, but then, that's what miniatures are about!The Greenleaf website offers a construction blog, but it is currently not available, at least when I've tried. However, there are a number of blogs from other owners, who detail how they have created their dolls house, some of which are truly amazing. I have noticed that several blogs comment that the written instructions are less than detailed, but I'm not far enough along yet to find that a problem.If you're looking for a long term project that requires a number of skills - yours, or your friends - then the Garfield Manor dolls house is perfect. But I've already found that dolls houses, and their furnishings, become something of an addiction, so be careful what you start!

Great kit.... all parts pre-cut... instructions are the only weak point. Greenhouse could do a much better job with the instructions...

My father bought this very same doll house kit for me in 1990. He made it for Christmas. He didn't paint it or anything, but he completely assembled it. Over the years, I added things to it, like curtains I sewed myself. This was my favorite toy. It was very durable. It lasted through me, my two sisters, and was finally done in by own daughter in 2009. It lasted twenty years. It could have actually been fixed when my daughter broke it, but we were moving and didnt think it would survive the move after all that time. My daughters were 3 and 1 at the time. I personally played with this until I was age 12, and used it mostly with calico critters animals.This was the best toy my parents ever bought me.It is not a huge dollhouse, but it is also not too small.
