Breyer Stablemates Deluxe Animal Hospital | 10 Piece Set | 1:32 Scale | 11.375" L x 7.625" W x 9.25" H | Model #59214 , Blue

I bought this for my nieces birthday as she is into horses right. She just turned 4. You do have to put pieces together, which was above her level. But, she loved playing with it and was excited about the gift. I would recommend this item.

My granddaughter loves it. She is 4. I play farm with her. A bit over priced though sometimes you can buy new in damaged packaging, which is what I did. The toy itself was I damaged. I followed the directions, which can be tricky. You have to match picture-to-piece. They pieces are not labeled. It took under an hour to assemble. It's all Chinese made plastic and not the best quality. Unfortunately there aren't many alternatives out there. One German toy company that I believe is made from poster cardboard had high ratings. But I went with this because she already had a few horses.So, this is 1:32 scaled. Look for other animal and farm toys of the same scale. They're out there. Ertl or something like that makes same scale animals and they're less expensive.The reason to keep 1:32 scale is that all the animals fit and work with these barns and animal hospital toys. There are no giant horses that won't fit in the stable. Similarly there are no micro animals. The 1:32 scale seems to be the right size to fit her hands and be large enough to play with for my 4 year old.While the Bryer Stablemate animals are more detailed and don't have that plastic molding line down the middle of the animal, the Ertl animals were just fine for a toddler who could care less and also looked like a real animal.Also, if you decide to use glue, don't glue the roof pieces. Your child will need to take the roof off to play with the toy.

This took about 20 minutes to put together and if you actually put the tabs in the slots, it is rather sturdy. My daughter and I assembled this in about twenty minutes. The instructions could have been a tad clearer, but they were not that bad. The solid looking part of the building (the part someone said meant you couldn't play in there if you assembled it) Is actually a half roof with the other half being a flap so you can easily access the main vet clinic area. All the animals pictured came with the set. My daughter loves it and is playing with it as I write this. I wouldn't hesitate to get this for a child the item is recommended for (manufacturer recommends 7 and up, so yes, a preschooler would probably be too rough on this) I wish they had chosen a different foal model since this is the one with the mold that has some of the most issues standing, but the one we got is actually very good at standing. The little goat is adorable.

This item has some great details for pretend play, but with all the plastic construction I fear it won’t last long before parts break during play with a 5 and 6 year old. For the cost I wish it would have been made more durable.

This was a birthday gift for my 6 yr old grand daughter. In her words, " I give this 5 stars because it is perfect. They even have grass and flowers so it looks like a home. It is so pretty. You can even open up the roof to reach in and play with the animals. All the doors and gates open to let the animals go where they want and I can shut them to keep the animals safe. She told me all about the surgeries she performed and, "how careful she is with the sick animals." She took a video of the inside and outside of the Animal Hospital to show other children but I do not know how to download it to Amazon. I highly recommend Breyer and this particular Deluxe Animal Hospital!

Gave this to my granddaughter on her 4th Birthday and she plays with it everyday. The pieces are well made, assemble easily and provide hours of imaginative play.

I am disappointed in this product. The pieces are fragile and come off and at least 3 pieces have completely broken. It’s not a good toy for a toddler. We are constantly putting gates and other items back together

The directions are horrible to put this together but I was able to figure it out using them and the picture. The shelves that come with it just fall right out and do not stay secured. I checked multiple times to ensure they arw in the right places and they are, but they just don't fit or attach correctly. For a Breyers toy, this was disappointing. I will have to glue them somehow. Daughter likes how open it is so she can set things up and reach into it and see things. The more expensive wooden closed top one does not allow that and she hated it. Just not happy with any of these Breyers houses. Like that it came with stickers already in place. That was helpful. Can't carry it easy. It is cute. Bought for my 8 year old.
