11 Best Dollhouses Under 100 $: Unlocking Magical Worlds on a Budget!

Are you on the hunt for some charming dollhouses that won’t break the bank? Well, look no further! In this article, we’ll dive into the enchanting world of dollhouses under 100 $.

Yes, you heard that right – affordable dollhouses that let you unlock magical worlds on a budget.

Whether you’re a parent looking for an affordable playtime haven or a collector seeking for a makeover piece, we’ve got you covered.

So, let’s embark on this delightful journey and explore the wonders of dollhouses that won’t dent your wallet.

As an Amazon and Etsy associate, I earn from purchases, with no extra costs for you, however.

But first, Why Choose a Dollhouse Under $100?

Well, the reasons why someone might choose an affordable dollhouse can be a bit obvious 😉

• They are budget-friendly, which means that they are a cost-effective choice for households who want to provide wonderful playtime to their kids without overspending.
  
  
• It can be a starter dollhouse, meaning that you can buy this to see if your child loses interest in it very quickly or not. If you buy your kid a 700$ dollhouse and then she stops playing with it after 2 weeks, well, damn, hahaha .. 🙂
  
  
• An affordable gift: as a grandparent or auntie a dollhouse under $100 can be the more budget-friendly option to get your grandchild or niece a nice gift still.
  
  
• DIY renovating/customization: affordable dollhouses can provide a fantastic way to get creative and turn it into all kinds of theme-related houses, there are so many fantastic options out there and people create wonderful makeovers!
  
  

Sure Lizzy, but how about the Quality of Dollhouses Under 100 $?

For some of the dollhouses that I will mention in the list below, I have written former articles on the brands for you to check out, and those will also mention the quality.

But of course, you wonder about the quality of these dollhouses and why they are so affordable, so keep in mind the following things:

1. Materials used and construction.

Be aware that dollhouses under 100 dollars often use materials such as wood composites, MDF, or plastic. And so might be a tad less sturdy than more expensive dollhouses and less durable.

2. Unclear manuals or hard assembly.

Companies tend to ‘save’ money on providing hard-to-read manuals (like still in Chinese for Cutebee kits), or have an impossible assembly process, such as assembly points not fitting, which can get frustrating!

3. Fewer details/ worse design.

Affordable dollhouses may be simpler in design and have fewer lovely details, which makes a dollhouse look more dull and less lifelike.

Some of them don’t include dollhouse furniture either.

4. Longevity

Keep in mind that a dollhouse under $100 might not last you a lifetime or be handed over from generation to generation!

So, in short, some pros and cons:

The Good.

• Budget-friendly option
• Suitable as a starter dollhouse
• Can be a creative DIY project
• Makes an affordable gift option

The Bad.

• May not have the same level of durability and longevity as higher-end models
• Less intricate details and designs
• Assembly may be harder and a manual more unclear
• Furniture and accessories may not be included and be of less quality

Anyway, let’s go to it will you Lizzy! 😉

3. A “Flever” dollhouse kit called Fairy Homeland.

This dollhouse kit, just under 100$, is not assembled yet, which means it is an actual dollhouse kit that you need to assemble, which can require more time than usual to assemble a dollhouse.

This dollhouse from Flever isn’t an actual brand, but a reseller, and clicking on the button below explains a little bit about why I think this.

Anyway, this dollhouse when finished is on a scale of 1:24, so it is not exactly a Barbie scale, beware of that.

The finished product size is 18.5*14.96*12.6 inches, and it has 3 levels and includes all the dollhouse furniture and lights.
