I am "saving" this lovely creation for the day when I have grandchildren who are old enough to use it carefully. In the interim, it holds a place of honor on top of my upright piano, lit with LED string lights and electric candles (they glow beautifully behind the crenellations when tucked in below eye level. I set it on a bed of faux "snow" and included some Christmas themed items during the holidays and now have just miniature trees and realistic, quality resin medieval figures in the battlements along with the lights. It looks spectacular at night when all the other lights in the room are off or very low. People are transfixed when they enter the room and see this glowing display. It is the next best thing to a Time Machine and I will probably have to purchase a 2nd one for the grandchildren when the time comes as I love this one too much to do without it. Thanks for the Magic!
Purchased this product for a 16-month year-old grandson. Appears as represented on website; well made. Versatile; grandson uses knights, zoo animals, farm animals. He is fascinated with the different levels in the castle and the drawbridge; keeps his attention for long periods. The price reflects the quality of the product. Grandson has other Melissa and Doug toys and enjoys them as well. i would buy this and other Melissa and Doug products.
I've already purchased a pink castle from a different company to give to my 3-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. This is to be a companion castle for a prince, wicked queen, or whatever story she creates, and it will be for her younger brother when he's old enough to play with her. It's a nice looking castle and folds closed, but it still takes up a good bit of space when it's folded. I noticed that one of the balconies is not glued on one side and will probably fall off. I'm going to reinforce all of the joints with extra wood glue before it's played with. This castle should be fun to play with with the draw bridge, dungeon for the evil characters, and the trap door (trap door doesn't lay completely flat and doesn't lock in place). The main problem with it for us is that our Papo princess. prince, and other figures are too tall to fit through most of the doors. I purchased the M and D fold-and-go castle first which is sturdy, folds compactly, and comes with some furniture and figures. It's small and the rooms are small, but the Papo figures fit because it has open walls instead of doors. I decided to get the larger one to have more space, but when I saw that our figures didn't fit the doors and the large amount of storage space required, I changed my mind. I decided to keep the fold- and-go one and to get a castle building block set so that the children could add on to it. Unfortunately the USPS shipping cost to send the large one back is over $50.00, so I guess I'm keeping it, too. We'll have a medieval village! (If in doubt, buy with free return option!)
My 4 yo son got this for Christmas. He loves playing pretend dragons and knights. He also puts other superheroes in it and imagines its the Batcave. The wood seems high quality, but wouldn't recommend for kids who'd be super rough with it. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that other Melissa and Doug castles I saw included furniture and figurines. This one did not.
During my search for a medieval castle structure for my son, it became apparent rather quickly that the options were extremely limited. The Melissa & Doug Castle was easily the best of the bunch, supported by a strong brand whose products I enjoy, although I felt that detail could have been much better overall. I would honestly rather pay a little bit more money for a more detailed and colored castle than this one which is somewhat plain. Nevertheless, the product is sturdy and well-made, as far as I can tell, providing endless hours of imaginary fun for my toddler. Lastly, based solely on personal preference, I am not a fan of the detached, removable sentry.
My daughter's birthday was 2 months ago and she was given the medieval folding castle from her cousins. While it has been played with and is in decent shape, one of the pieces has broken off and is now no where to be found. My daughter LOVES the castle, but I'm concerned that the edges where the piece broke off could cut her or give slivers, so unfortunately we've had to take it away from her. I tried emailing Melissa and Doug for a remedy for this issue and didn't hear back from them. :/ Would love to give a 5 star rating as this otherwise seems very solid and sturdy, but only giving 3 as it did break and I didn't get a response.
Very cute, grandkids love it, but only because I bought knights and princess characters that can be used with it. The castle comes with no characters of furniture etc. The reason I only gave 3 stars is because the top on the front left tower was barely glued on and fell off when touched. It has only been played with a couple of times, and I hope the quality of the rest of the castle will remain good.
my son loves this that's why I gave it 2 stars, with that being said it's poorly put together I got this for my 5 year old for Christmas since then about 5 wood pieces have broken off. the entire thing is just held together with small lines of wood glue. just with light play it comes apart. for the price of this product I expected much high quality! I'm glad. my son loves it but it's really a shame that it's so poorly constructed. would NOT recommend this toy.
My four year old received this as a birthday gift two weeks ago. Ever since, the castle has been the most played with toy everyday. It has not been moved from the play room in the time, however, the joints have come apart. My kid refers to it as a broken castle now, and she is very gentle with all her toys. I really liked it, but 2 weeks is a very short time for this castle to fall apart. Could you advise as to how this can be fixed?
Received this as gift from grandparents. My 3y old likes it. Fun idea for creative play, but there are build quality issues Had similar problem where main wall broke off at the base within first day of normal play. I was expecting this wood toy to be much more sturdy.
