Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought this armoire for our daughter for her American Girl doll. Having purchased other Melissa and Doug products over the years with great satisfaction, we assumed that this was another one of their wonderful toys. While the armoire is cute, there are two problems with it: 1. It is touted as being sized correctly for 18" dolls; however, the hanging part of the armoire is too short for most of their clothes. In addition, the hanging section is divided into two narrow areas, each of which is really too skinny to hold more than just a few items of clothing. 2. The paint finish does not hold up well to even the most minor usage. When carefully unwrapping the armoire from the packaging, we actually chipped a couple of small areas. Since this item is meant for children to play with, the paint should hold up better than that. Since we have always been happy with Doug and Melissa toys, we assumed that we would be happy with this armoire and didn't conduct our research on it as thoroughly as we would have otherwise. By noting the measurements, we would have hopefully realized that the sizing was not right for an 18" doll and would have instead purchased a different armoire elsewhere.
