Has anyone got this Toys R Us wooden dollshouse? Question about magnets...

It looks great and there's a special offer on, but the website has a warning about magnets in it which are obviously v dangerous if swallowed. I'm just interested to know where the magnets are before I buy - if e.g. to help roof fix I'm not worried but if they are part of little bits of furniture i'm more worried as dd is still only two and a half and not completely past putting inappropriate things in her mouth...

thanks...

They are in the door , two on the door and two on the mid floor to connect to. They are size of an emotion on here and they are flush to the house so would be v hard to remove imo

Ye, if you zoom in on the picture you can see them. It's lovely - and a bargain! The room settings usually cost £10 on their own.

Can't think of where they are but will take Lilyloo's word for it. Very very good value toy imo.

I would be concerned that they might - just might - come out, if they are not glued in very well indeed.

We had Magnetix that looked like the magnets were 'flush' and would never come out, but then they started to just fall out - they're tiny and very dangerous.

So maybe check the magnets when you get it, by holding a strong magnet next to them and if they pop out, keep them out and fit a latch. Actually I'd take them out personally and fit a latch from the start. Makes it easier to relax!
