- Expected Better Quality From Disney
My 3-year-old daughter wanted this product so badly for Christmas. It was expensive but Santa delivered. I am thoroughly disappointed with it and I hope Santa reassigned the elves responsible for construction of this toy! It so cheaply made and never folds up properly...staircases and pillars bend, the swing has never worked (it fell off when we opened it for the first time) and the floor keeps popping up once it's opened. She still plays with it but gets frustrated that it doesn't "work". There is a Little Tikes version of a castle similar to this...I believe it's Cinderella and the figures are short with snap-on clothing. We have that one too and, not only is it better quality, the price is (or was at Christmas) better. I'd take the Little Tikes version over this one any day!

- Disney is not setting a good quality track record
As with other non Mattel Disney toys, this looks better in pictures than actually playing with it. I'm not sure what happened with Disney quality, but nearly every Disney item we own breaks easily and is of poor quality.

Like other reviewers, we had the same issues with the clip that holds it together just falling off. There are a LOT of little pices, great for choking on, stepping on, or simply losing. The swing breaks easily and is a real pain to get back together. The prince's cloak never stays on. The pillar doesn't stay up and the pieces don't fold correctly...I could go on.

- cheaply made
I agree with several of the other reviewers, it is very cheaply made but my 4 year old doesn't seem to mind she uses it with all of her other polly pocket princesses. The swing is definitely the worst part of it and the furniture doesn't really sit very well on the upper level of the castle. I probably wouldn't have bought it for a Christmas gift if I had read the reviews before. It's not really worth the money!

- Not That Bad
I got this toy on clearance after Christmas for my almost 3 year old that loves princesses. I expected the worst because of the reviews I had read, but I think it's not bad at all. I have folded and unfolded this toy several times without breaking anything. My daughter is too young to understand how to gently fold it. The swing is the the worst part. It falls apart and I have to help my daughter gently place the dolls on it or it will break. My daughter mainly just uses the castle as a play space and doesn't really care about the furniture. That's why I'd say this toy works for us. My favorite part is that it gives her a big area to play pretend princess and folds up really small so we can put it away easily. As far as value, I'd say about $10-15 is a fair price. If you try to buy just the dolls they would cost around $10.

- Too expensive, but my daughter loves it
My daughter fell in love with his item when she saw the commercial on TV, and it became the top item on her Christmas Wish List. I think it's too expensive for what it is, but she has really enjoyed playing with it. The case is cheap plastic, and pieces pop off easily. Otherwise, it is just the right size for her Polly Pocket princess dolls, and if you have a chold who is into Princesses, she will enjoy this item and ideally you'll get your money's worth.
