And Prime free shipping, right? 1 left as of this moment. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000U0A82U/ I checked this out last night, it was $139.21, this afternoon it is $141.63 and they must have discovered another stash of them, now there are 16 left instead of 1 left. It is beautiful but very large lol. Not that that should hold me back since I live in a huge old 5 bedroom farm house by myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often throw things in my cart just to see what happens, I got the expander to my yogurt maker for $7.95 when it was $29.95 for months, and still is. I wanted a hammock chair and put that in my cart, it was $59.99, about two months later I bought it for $8.29. If it is in your cart you get notices about price changes, there are frequent price changes sometimes several a day, sometimes just pennies or sometimes dollars or sometimes it is a real good deal! 3 hours ago, KathieB said: Just be sure it will fit through the old doors or it might have to live permanently in the room in which you build it. My kitchen doors may be a problem, but since I don't want it in the kitchen I guess it will be ok. There are French doors to the living room, and to the deck off the dining room. There are more doors in this place, even one in the back room upstairs that goes out to the second floor of the shed, they are all standard sized except the two doors from the kitchen to the dining room, they are only 30". All in all there are 5 exits in my house. I don't use the upstairs except to store stuff, and there are two guest bedrooms, one that is full of sewing items lol. I don't heat the upstairs, it is a some what drafty house, not very warm in cold Maine winters! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 A couple of 1:24 stair kits. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stairs-Dollhouse-Miniature-1-24-Kit-2kits-/232456609313?hash=item361f7e5e21:g:BHkAAOSwSBtZmfIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The seller has this listed as a Classic staircase, but it's the Lawbre curved staircase:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spiral-Wood-Staircase-Dollhouse-Miniature-Left-2-Rails-CLA70222-1-12-scale-/322634755753?hash=item4b1e87aea9:g:F6sAAOSwl5pZhNVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The packaging says each step is 3/16" and the steps reach a ceiling height of 3". I think Houseworks 1:24 steps are 5/16", ceiling height is typically 5". So I think these are 1:48. The packaging doesn't seem to list a scale (at least, it's not in the photos). I saw another set like this on Etsy recently that was also listed as 1:24 so now I'm curious what I'm going to end up with! (Miniature Lumber Shoppe is an old brand and I've seen their kits in both half scale and quarter scale, but it usually says right on the front which scale it is.) Even if they are quarter scale, I'm sure I'll find a use for them! I like that the steps are individual so you can glue them together in a different configuration than just a straight staircase.

Sorry Emily!.. I don't work in quarter scale and throw in that I come from a metric country and I wouldn't have a clue about those dimensions... I just went with the listing heading. I'm sure you could cancel the order if they have described them incorrectly. If not, I hope you find a use for them. How high is a ceiling in half scale? 5 inches??

fov Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Oh no, don't worry about it! I saw a similar set on Etsy recently (also advertised as half scale) and had been kicking myself for not buying it, so I jumped on these. I had thought the 3" ceiling height seemed low but the short stair height just didn't occur to me until after I hit the buy button. Not a big deal. They may work for making a false staircase (like a few stairs that disappear behind a wall), or maybe I'll do a quarter scale house someday. I know I'll find a use for them! Half scale ceilings are typically 5". I had been thinking of using these to make a staircase up to the loft bed in my Spanish style "tiny house", so I don't need a full height staircase. They may even still work for that, we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your ideas for a false staircase and also the loft staircase idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
