Real Good Toys Keeper's House Dollhouse Kit vs Vitrine's Tale DIY Miniature Dollhouse Kit

Buy the Real Good Toys Keeper's House if you want a sturdy 1:12 cottage that pairs with the New England Lighthouse and is easy enough for a first build. Buy the Vitrine's Tale kit if you want a detailed, lit 1:24 display piece and don't mind a fiddly intermediate build. The Keeper's House is milled MDF with 3/8 inch walls and a one-step assembly; the Vitrine's Tale is 428 laser-cut wood pieces with LED lighting. Owners of the Vitrine's Tale praise the finished detail but report lighting failures, tricky wiring and occasional broken or missing parts.

• Choose the Keeper's House if you want a beginner-friendly 1 inch scale cottage with thick MDF walls that matches the New England Lighthouse kit.
• Choose the Vitrine's Tale if you want a compact 1:24 jewelry-shop scene with LED lighting and hundreds of tiny accessories to display.
