However, after one afternoon of play I could tell the second floor of this house might eventually break. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. She plays with it almost everyday(for almost a year), and it's still all in one piece so I would say it's very sturdy. PERSONAL FUN FACT: Interestingly enough, I only got a few of these pieces with my actual talking Townhouse!

Speaking of that talking feature, it is really obnoxious, and I feel bad for any parent that had to listen to it play over and over again. Although it would have been super-cool to have a talking house, I have the one from 2006, known as the ‘Forever Barbie Townhouse,’ instead of the ‘Talkin’ Townhouse. I was told when I purchased this house that it was still sealed, and had never been used by the seller's daughter.When I got home, I realized that it had been lightly played with--the chairs, couch, end table, and most of the accessories were gone.

But what it did come with was very practical, and I'm sure it would have gotten loads of use if I had owned this Talking Townhouse as a kid. I purchased for my daughter who then gave it to her cousin and now it's back again for a step sister. Why go through the effort of bagging the house when it already has a handy cardboard shroud to keep it from getting dusty?

It was my first Barbie “dream house” and the wave of nostalgia was so strong after I found these pictures!

My version came with two ‘Kohl’ dolls, which confuses the heck out of me, because Kohl is a brand on Stardoll, and the Stardoll dolls didn’t release until, what, 2009? My daughter and her friend kept leaning on the second floor with their hands and the support structure does NOT appear to be strong enough to handle much weight---it kept on creaking like the plastic was going to snap!Who would have ever guessed that I'd get a house sans chairs and end table, but that I'd already have those pieces waiting around in storage? I had a vague memory of finding the card to this house with other doll stuff ages before getting the house.
