Based on other reviews for this series of toys, I anticipated this set to not come with the fairly dolls, which I purchased separately. I also have the Fairy Forest Lodge, fairy dolls, and all of the other furniture accessory sets, except for the Forest Bridge & River set. My daughter was ready for a doll house that would inspire her imagination and creative play, so everyone in the family pitched in to help Santa bring this all home.
With this set, you get the little leaf 'rug' piece, the mushroom table, and 2 mushroom stools. No dolls. The pieces are adorable and very well made. For creative play potential, this set is top notch. For functional play, not so much. The mushroom table is top-heavy and tips over easily, and while the fairy dolls (sold separately) are fully positionable, they absolutely will not stay sitting on these little mushroom stools. This is why I give the set 4 stars and not 5. If the table had a wider base and the stools had wider seats, they would be perfect.
FYI, the fairy dolls are a bit easier to sit up on the chairs that come with the Living Room set, but still fall off of those easily.
If you decide NOT to purchase puzzle base for the house, the green leaf with this set adds a nice punch of color to the collection. My 2 girls move it around the house and pretend it's all sorts of crazy things ... rug, picnic blanket, raft ... I'm glad that they have such wonderful imaginations! My one complaint about the green leaf is that it isn't sealed. I assume that it was stained with some kind of natural non-toxic water-based stain, but no sealer. The paint on the other pieces is a semi-gloss, so needed no sealant. If your child spills any liquid on the leaf, or any of the green stained wooden pices (such as the puzzle base for the house), the green stain will bleed. My children haven't put the pieces in their mouthes yet, but one of them leaned over with a sippy cup and when condensation dripped onto the pieces, water spots were left showing the light wood.
Note that the red of my mushroom table and chairs is darker than the photos here, almost a darker brick red than bright primary red. This may be different from set to set, as the mushroom accessories in other sets I purchased are brighter, such as the mushroom lamps with the Living Room and Bedroom sets, which were a nice bright red, and the mushrooms with the Hammock set were orange-red.

I bought this at a store so I knew it did not come with fairies, and I found it great for the moss/fairy garden my daughter made. She loves it.Best Deals for Mushroom Table & Stools
Very cute little mushroom table and stools to go along with a fairy house or other nature play. These look to be well made and are sure to become a classic in a family. They are small, so should be for an older toddler.Honest reviews on Mushroom Table & Stools
There is something strangely non-whimsical (at least to my American esthetic) about this mushroom table set for fairies. Which is somewhat the opposite of the impression fairy furniture should give. It's not that it is poorly constructed or otherwise poor quality it's carved wood. Rather, the mushrooms seem too thin in places, and the leaf too thick. It all lends itself to the wrong impression.Also important, and this cost it a star on its own, is that the small mushrooms probably could not be designed to be a worse smoking hazard for infants if you tried. We took away the mushroom seats once my youngest crawled to it. Use with great caution around children under 3.

I bought this becasue I just loved the little mushroom stools an table but the table topples over incredibly easily just do to the top being too heavy for the base so it has become more of decoration rather than an actual table they can use becasue their little hands get way too frustrated an the stools are much to small for any figure to sit on
