We have a nice wooden one (not the huge ones, like Fisher Price sized). My son loved it from 2-4 and still plays with it occasionally at 5. Doesn't do much with furniture, just makes up stories about the figurines. My 2.5 year old daughter won't touch the thing. She loves dolls and figurines but she insists they go to every other toy in the house and never the dollhouse. So from my sample of two, who knows. I never liked dollhouses myself, come to think of it.
