Play-scale wooden dollhouses, documented for trade buyers

MOQ is quoted per model and per finish, and it ranges from 1 pcs to 1,000 pcs across the 130 published models: 52 models quote at 10 pcs or fewer, 17 at 11-100 pcs, 44 at 101-500 pcs and 17 above 500 pcs. A stocked finish sits at the model minimum, while a new colour, a printed carton or a structural change moves it up. Mixed containers let one order clear several model minimums at once, which is how most first orders are built. The number for a specific model is confirmed in the quotation rather than published as one site-wide figure.

Most models are built for dolls of about 8-12 cm, with floors roughly 10-16 cm apart; the large band of 80 cm and above takes figures up to about 15 cm on the models we have measured. The floor height, not the assembled height, is the number that decides whether a doll stands up inside, so it is published or confirmed per model. If you are pairing a house with a doll family from another supplier, send the figure height with the model list and we will check it against the floor heights of the models you shortlist.

Both, confirmed per model. Most of the catalogue ships flat-pack in a single carton with a fittings bag and an instruction sheet, and assembly runs from about 20 minutes for a tabletop cottage to 60-90 minutes for a three-storey house. A minority of models can be quoted assembled for a retail display or a nursery that will not do joinery, at two to three times the carton cube of the same model flat-packed. Pre-fitted hinges and glued stairs cut the build time considerably, so ask which parts arrive fitted.

Roughly 2,300 tabletop houses at a median carton of 0.026 m3, about 790 standard houses at 0.076 m3, and 240-400 large houses at 0.10-0.25 m3, assuming 88 per cent fill of a 68 m3 container with about 60 m3 usable after pallets and door clearance. A mixed load sits between those figures and is calculated carton by carton, because large cartons leave gaps that flat cartons can fill. We produce the loading plan for the actual model list rather than quoting a generic container count.

Production takes 25-45 days after sample sign-off and deposit, confirmed per model, plus four to six weeks of sea freight from Ningbo or Shanghai to a UK or EU port. Sampling is 7-15 days for a stocked model. For a gift-quarter shelf date, goods need to leave production by September, which means sign-off in June or early July. The 2027 Chinese New Year falls on 6 February and closes the workshops for two to three weeks, so a January order runs into the holiday rather than through it.

No. Prices are quoted per model, finish, quantity and destination market, and quotations are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. The catalogue publishes what a buyer needs to plan without a price: assembled size, storeys, floor height, doll fit, material, finish, carton cube, MOQ and lead time. A published price in this category would be wrong for most of the buyers reading it and stale within a season. The quotation carries the number and the terms that go with it, and it is built from the facts on the model pages.

Play scale means a house designed around a child and a doll of about 8-12 cm, with floors low enough to reach into and rooms wide enough to arrange furniture. It is a design brief rather than a fixed ratio, which is why this site publishes floor heights and doll fit instead of a scale figure. The collector and hobby trade - display houses, adult model kits, reproduction furniture - is a different market with a different buyer and supply chain, and it is not sold on this site. The scale guide in the Guides section explains where the boundary sits and how to tell the two apart in a listing.

A commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading, plus origin paperwork and a product data sheet per model covering material, assembled size, age grade and carton data. Test reports are released per model and per market where the workshop holds them, and where they do not exist we say so before the order rather than after. The import declaration and the destination market's conformity documents remain the buyer's responsibility as importer of record, and nothing on this site is a claim that a model has been cleared for a market.
