Pretend Play & Role Play

Buying pretend play & role play from the factory

Pretend play is sold as a picture of a kitchen, a workbench or a dollhouse, but the buyer's real decision is how much air is in the carton. Our pretend-play range covers 166 SKUs - kitchens, tool benches, dollhouses, shops, play food and accessories - from a single accessory to a full kitchen, FOB Ningbo. Flat-pack design cuts freight dramatically, but it moves assembly to your customer, puts stress on cam locks, dowels and screw inserts, and only saves money if the hardware schedule stays the same. An assembled dollhouse may occupy three times the container space of the same item flat-packed, and it is more likely to arrive with a cracked roof.

Hardware is the part that decides whether a play kitchen survives a classroom. Specify metal hinges rather than stapled plastic, threaded inserts where a panel will be assembled more than once, and knobs that are fixed through the panel rather than glued to the face. Play food, tool bits and dollhouse furniture can be choke hazards for under-threes, and a 3+ label does not excuse sharp edges. Box dimensions, not weight, often set the freight; freight is quoted on the packed carton, not the assembled item, so for flat-pack and assembled shipping options, see <a href="/shipping-payment/">shipping and payment</a>.

Mix this range with others in one container — carton counts and CBM are confirmed on the quote, and we will suggest a loading plan before you commit.
