DIY Dream Home Miniature Wooden Dollhouse vs Make Market Two-Story Wood Dollhouse Kit

Buy the Make Market kit if you want a sturdy, quick craft project you can paint and display; it is a two-story plywood shell with a hinged front, scalloped eaves and a ladder, and it rates 4.7 out of 5 from 74 owners. Buy the DIY Dream Home kit if you want a full miniature build with LED lights and furniture included, accepting a much longer, fiddlier assembly in cardboard and fabric. The Make Market is the better-built object; the DIY Dream Home is the richer project.

  • Choose the DIY Dream Home if you want a complete lit miniature room to build and furnish, not just a bare shell.
  • Choose the Make Market Dollhouse if you want a solid wood two-story house to paint and display without a long, detailed build.

What reviewers say

Make Market Two-Story Wood Dollhouse Kit

  • 4.7 / 574 ratings

Buyers rate the kit highly and mostly talk about it as a satisfying craft project. The common complaints are the extra work of gluing and finishing and the fact that nothing to furnish it comes in the box.

What people mention
  • AssemblyMixedBuyers say it goes together with glue and tabs but takes patience and care.
  • FinishMixedThe bare plywood needs sanding and painting, which owners treat as part of the fun.
  • DetailPraisedThe scalloped eaves, ladder and hinged front are the features buyers like most.
  • InclusionsCriticisedNo furniture, figures or paint come with it, so the total outlay is higher than the kit alone.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a first dollhouse project?
The Make Market. It is a tab-and-glue plywood shell that goes together quickly. The DIY Dream Home kit has many tiny parts and takes far longer.
Which one comes with furniture?
Only the DIY Dream Home. It includes furniture and accessories plus LED lights. The Make Market kit is an empty shell with a ladder and instructions.
Which is more durable?
The Make Market. Its plywood frame with metal hardware stands up to handling and painting. The DIY Dream Home uses cardboard paper and fabric that wear faster.
Is the DIY Dream Home worth stepping up to?
If you want a lit, furnished miniature scene and enjoy a long build, yes. If you want a quick craft to paint and display, the Make Market is the better fit.
Can kids build either one?
The DIY Dream Home is labeled 14+ and needs patience with small parts. The Make Market suits older kids and adults doing a craft project with glue.
Do either need batteries?
The DIY Dream Home's LED lights need batteries, which are not included. The Make Market has no electronics.
