Before you buy this make sure to look at EVERY picture you can find. Because the manufacturer’s picture makes this item seem like a much better value than it really is and some of the member pictures show the real situation. There are nine items that are not ‘wearable’ and instead are paper cutouts. Please see my included picture, showing that the bottom rows of shoes are half fake, half real. The pink purse in the background, the three pairs of shoes in the back, three of the nine pairs of shoes in the front and the pairs of stud and star ‘earrings’ are all fake – all paper cutouts. The tag states that there are 31 pieces. Of those 31 pieces here is what you get: Six pairs of shoes (instead of the 12 the picture suggests), ten articles of clothing, one purse (instead of the suggested 2) and one pair of earrings (instead of the suggested 3). That is 25 ‘wearable’ items instead of the ’31 fashion pieces’ that the box suggests. I’m honestly shocked they didn’t raise the number of items up even more by claiming the ten hangers were ‘items’. Ours was starting to come loose from the cardboard bottom on one side, but unfortunately that is normal for this line. Thankfully the fake gold ‘brackets’ on the outside of the chest are firmly affixed, unlike other examples of this from Rainbow High (such as the two-pack with Laurel and Holly, who’s gold brackets came off in transit). The clothing is fine but not great, but the shoes have small imperfections with the molding and paint. The case seems fine, and the hinges are decently made. An actual rating is difficult to give for this item. The look on my little one’s face when they found out half of the pairs of shoes they were expecting were actually paper has made this a negative experience instead of a positive reward. If your child knows that they are only getting 10 items of clothing and 6 shoes it might be worth more than the two stars I’m giving it, but the packaging is manipulative and disrespectful. If we had seen this on the shelf at Target (like most Rainbow High items we have purchased) we would have left it sitting there. No Rainbow High item we have seen thus far has used paper cutouts like this. To their credit the individual pictures DO show the specific clothing items, but that first picture most definitely does not. The gloss around the pink purse and around the front-bottom three shoes looks real, especially to an excited child who is picking out a reward. Thank you MGM for upsetting my bunny girl. At least DollsByDorcel cut a third off the price (and now I know why). Buyer beware.
