The 1:12 Miniature Furniture Set

What this set is

The 1:12 Miniature Furniture Set is a finished miniature furniture set for dollhouse rooms and small scale scenes. Each piece is made of ABS plastic and arrives ready to use. There is no assembly needed, so you can set the pieces in a room right away.

The set is sold as a single furniture set. That means you pick one style, and that style ships as one set. It is not a mixed bundle of several rooms.

This set is recommended for ages 14 and up. It has no light.

Scale and fit

The scale is 1:12. In this scale, one inch in the miniature equals twelve inches in real life, so the pieces sit correctly in a standard 1:12 dollhouse room. This is the most common scale for dollhouse furniture, which makes the set easy to mix with other 1:12 pieces you already own.

A few notes on fit:

• Check the room you have in mind before you buy. A 1:12 room is built to a fixed size, and furniture that is too wide for a wall will not sit flush.
• The styles cover different rooms, so match the style to the space. A bunk bed set suits a bedroom. A dining table and chairs set suits a dining room. A kitchen stove and sink set suits a kitchen.
• Because the pieces are plastic, they wipe clean and hold their shape.

Styles

The set comes in eight styles. Each one is a single furniture set in 1:12 scale.

• Laundry room set: appliances and fittings for a small utility room.
• Wooden bunk bed set: a bunk bed in a wood tone for a bedroom.
• Blue scooter: a small ride-on piece for a yard, garage or entry scene.
• White bunk bed set: a bunk bed in white for a bedroom.
• Refrigerator and food set: a fridge with miniature food pieces.
• Bookshelf and book set: a shelf with miniature books for a study or reading corner.
• Dining table and chairs set: a table with chairs for a dining room.
• Kitchen stove and sink set: a stove and sink for a kitchen.

If you are building a full house, the kitchen, dining and bedroom styles work well as a starting group. The scooter and the bookshelf add small detail to a scene without taking much floor space.

How to use it

Place the pieces on a flat surface in your dollhouse room or miniature scene. Because the set is finished and needs no assembly, you can arrange and rearrange it as often as you like.

A few simple tips:

• Set the largest piece first, then build the smaller pieces around it. This keeps the room from feeling crowded.
• Keep the set out of direct sun for long periods if you want the colors to stay even.
• Use a soft, dry cloth or a lightly damp cloth to dust the pieces. Avoid harsh cleaners.
• Store pieces in a small box or tray when they are not on display, so small parts do not get lost.

Care

Wipe the plastic with a soft, dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use a lightly damp cloth and let the pieces air dry. Do not soak them and do not use abrasive cleaners. Keep the set away from heat sources, since plastic can soften or warp near high heat.
