Wooden Dollhouse Buying Guides
Eight guides on the questions that decide a dollhouse order: what play scale means and how it differs from the collector market, which size band fits which channel, flat-pack versus assembled, carton cube and container loading, MOQ and lead times, safety and paint, piece counts in room sets, and how to choose a supplier. Each guide is written from the 130-model catalogue measured in November 2026 and each ends with what to do next rather than a sales close. Where a number is not in the data, the guide says confirmed per model instead of filling the gap.
