What Would You Do With Your Dollhouse Design. Here Are A Couple Ideas




Dollhouse Furniture Material: Poly-resin

Ploy-resin is exactly what is says that it is - a blended material of polyester and resin, and works quite well in modeling.

Is Quarter Inch Scale the right size for my dollhouse?





To make sure you are getting the right sized item, check the scale of the furniture. All items at Dollhouse City are on this 1 inch scale unless the title of the item tells you it is on a or inch scale.





This furniture item has a quarter inch (1:48) scale. This means that one inch of dollhouse furniture is equivalent to four foot, or 48 inches, of furniture in real life. With the quarter inch (1:48) scale, of an inch of dollhouse furniture equates to a foot of real furniture; so a inch tall dollhouse coffee table would look like a 2 foot tall coffee table in reality.
