New Orleans Dollhouse Kit

The 3/8” clapboard profile is milled into the surface of the medium density fiberboard (MDF) exterior walls.

Having the clapboard siding already milled into the exterior walls makes your assembly easier, because the siding is built-in and ready to paint.

In a Brick kit the exterior walls are already bricked and finished for you. How easy is that? We do have one kit, the Pre-Bricked Georgetown, JM860-B, where the outer walls are bricked but not finished. That particular kit includes specific instructions on finishing the brick on the exterior walls.

* Paint, glue, curtains and any landscaping or furnishings are not included.
**Gingerbread (if used) and Trim Strips are supplied in easy to cut lengths.

NOTE: All dimensions listed on this website indicate the overall dimensions of each dollhouse including items that protrude, such as porches and roof cresting.

Our products are not recommended for children under the age of 13.

All prices and products subject to change without notice.

What exactly is MDF?  MDF, like plywood is made from wood and glue, but MDF (not particleboard) is processed and super compressed with intense heat to eliminate the grain defects found in ordinary wood products.  Many top quality furniture manufacturers use MDF and it has become their material of choice.  The fiberboard we use in the production of many of our dollhouses is hand chosen because of its outstanding rank among the fiberboards manufactured today.

What is the difference between MDF and MP? Is one better than the other?  First, you’ll notice a price difference between the two.  Each has its own particular advantages, but one is not necessarily better than the other.  The custom manufactured plywood we use for MP walls is more expensive and may have some inherent imperfections, such as knots or tendency to warp.  It is lighter weight than MDF, easier to electrify and more aesthetically pleasing to handle.  MDF stays flat, is smooth and splinter free … thus it is very easy to paint.  Our design team and assembly department prefer MDF for these reasons.  MDF is hard and is more difficult to insert wire connectors when electrifying your dollhouse.  Plywood is soft and easily accepts screws, nails and brads.  So, to sum it up, one is not better than the other.  It’s simply what you prefer.
