how big is this castle? Is it worth it?

We bought this for my 4 yr old daughter last Christmas and she still plays with it at least once a week if not more. She'll be 6 in March. Both she and my 3.5 yr old daughter play with it. As for size, it's way smaller than say a ;Barbie dream house. Or even a regular doll house. It's in a few sections and some of them come apart pretty easily now, especially if manhandled. And the stairs come off all the time. That said, I would definitely buy this again. Oh and if you want to build it before you give it as a gift, give yourself a few hours at least. I did it Xmas Eve because it was a gift from Santa and ended up going to bed very very late. :-)

This large play castle is very well built. It's dimentions are:15 1/2"x 18" and 17" tall (closed) Then is swings open to become much larger.

The Himeji Castle (deluxe version) is about 20x20x15 cm. The other version is a lot smaller!

It's a beautiful castle although the proportions are a bit inconsistent. The tippy top of the castle part is just the perfect size for my cat (5.5 pounds) so it may possibly work for the 9 pound cat but I am doubtful for your larger cat. The side pedestal can be a wee bit flimsy but should hold either cat fine and so long as the right cushion is in the bottom part of the castle (the smaller one) your 9 pound cat will fit fine and your 14 pound cat should fit, if a bit snugly. Otherwise, the castle is very nice.

Hi - I'm not sure. They are on the small side for blocks (though not tiny). You could definitely use them with another block set to add structural detail. I purchased 2 sets and they made a good-sized castle. My son loved them so much, I purchased another so he could make a huge one! I definitely am happy to have made the purchase - they were good quality blocks - detailed and well-sanded.

I am not familiar with the Magic Forts Kit. My 4 year-old [now 5 year-old] twin grandkids LOVE the E-Z Fort. I bought yards of colorful, shiny and textured material on sale and it becomes a "princess castle" covered with pink satin and with black sheets over it, it becomes a "pirate ship". It motivates children to use their imagination. The versatility and ease of construction are great. It is NOT study for climbing or support for anything heavy. The pieces are all interchangeable and stay connected. I bought another set we liked it so much.

My grandson said the small size just fits. However, he suggested the bigger size is better because you could build a moat around the castle and have room for characters, etc.

The size is comparable to a doll house. It's approximately 29 inches wide, 20 inches tall, and 21 inches deep. And that is not counting the fencing that comes with it. It holds 2 traditional size Breyer's horses. Hope this helps with your decision.

They actually make figures that are for this castle. I would think that any figures that were 3"-4" tall would work great. We use ours as a barn!

The blast zone magic castle slide is small, about 2 ft. or so...perfect though for the kids to get in and out of the castle. This was one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have a very rambunctious 5 year old who Loves this castle. We bought this for his 5th Birthday and had about 10 kids ranging in age between 2 and 7 jumping in it...it is very sturdy, great construction and sooo easy to set up and take down....Would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone!

Both castles are very similar. The Magic castle is in the shape of a pentagon vs 9917 which is a square.

about 4.5 ft. high to the tip of the castle peak and about 3.5ft across on the castle floor.

Definitely! My son is 6 and still fits easily inside with a friend. Honestly, it's so charming I think I'll keep it there as long as possible. Four years so far and shows no sign of wear. I've nestled it into a piney wood, surrounded by natural rocks, and made a slate patio. Sooooo.....maybe it's my play house!

No, the dolls do not come with the castle. I purchased the 7-pack of dolls with it. I searched online for this castle and the dolls and I'm glad I did because I got both for less than Babies R Us was selling it for. A side note: My 6 year old neice LOVES it. My sister tells me all the time that she says thank you Auntie everytime she plays with it.

Yes, it is assembled and in a pretty big box. My granddaughter has had hers over a year now, and she and her friends still play with it often. I would have loved to have had one of these castles when I was little. I still may get one for myself even though I have grandkids now. I guess that could be my excuse!!
