The detail on this set is wonderful, as with all Calico Critters products. I love all the accessories that come with this set, too. The armoire opens and you can put your extra clothes in it. However, it is very hard to hang them on the hangers and hang them on the bar, so we just put them in there and close the door. (The door stays closed)
My favorite piece is the vanity. The mirrors are on hinges like a real vanity and it comes with the cutest bottles to place on it. The only thing I'm not really crazy about (but can live with) is the cover for the bed. It does not lie flat on the bed. Maybe some ironing will help it to lie flat, but I own a steamer and no iron so I can't try it.
All in all, we love this bedroom set.

This is a really cute Calico Critters furniture set! Very detailed, it will provide tons of fun for your daughter.The main pieces are a bed, vanity and armoire. They are all made from white plastic. I'm not sure what the scale is, but it seems to be somewhere between 1:12 and 1:24. The vanity stands 3 1/2" high, the armoire is 4" high, and the bed platform is 2 1/2" by 4 1/2". It is a girl's room, but Calico parents will also fit on the bed. If you are buying this set to use with other figures, note that there is no footboard on the bed, so a bigger figure can still use the bed, if you don't mind their feet hanging off!
The bed platform is plain, but the headboard has a shaped top with heart and dot designs molded in, and lavendar bedknobs. It also comes with a light pink fabric/foam mattress, a pink floral pillow and a pink floral coverlet. The pillow is decorated with lace on the sides. The coverlet is really nice it has an attached ruffled skirt with lace trim, flat lace down the center and a white ribbon bow at the top. It doesn't really hang on the bed the sides stick straight out, but is nicely styled way better than the bedspreads on most doll house furntiure.
The vanity has some molded floral design at the top, but also has a lavendar vine design printed on the doors. The vanity has two working doors with gray plastic handles. Inside the doors is a mirror, and the back of the doors are also mirrored. It also features a working drawer with gray plastic handle. The stool is round with a removeable, flocked lavender top. I like this stool, because it is wide enough so that it is easy for my girls to actually sit their critters on it.
The armoire matches the vanity with molded floral design and Lavender printed vines. Its two doors (with gray handles) open wide. Inside you will find a small mirrow with metal hanging bar on one door, and a hanger bar inside. There are also plastic hangers. My daughter hangs 2 dresses in the armoire, and she has had no problems keeping the doors closed.
As with all Calico Critter sets, there are many accessories. A small night table has a pedestal base and a lavender top. A simple lavender rug has ribbon trim, and the matching round pillow has lace trim. My 11 year old loves the vanity tray. The tray is light brown and has a molded wicker design, and holds little (and I mean little!) lotion and perfume bottles. There is also a tiny trinket box with removable lid, alarm clock and double picture frame. It came with other small accessories, but these are the favorites. Note the picture shows curtains, but they don't come with this set. If you are thinking about buying this set for a younger child, the furniture is totally appropriate, but the accessories will probably get lost (at least that's how it works in my house!)
We bought this set to go into a larger dollhouse, because my daughter prefered a girl's room to a nursery. As I said, the scale is smaller than 1:12, but the furniture still looks great in our house. As with all our Calico Critters furniture, this set is both stylish and well-made.
Bottom Line If you are looking for a girls room, this is a great choice.
