 Where's the back of it?Dec 17, 2007
By Kendra
Amazon had this on sale for about twenty dollars last week, so I purchased this for my own little four year old princess. She had wanted it and she definitely needed (sure) a throne, so for that price, with free shipping, it was really a good deal.
I put the throne together easily and it is and was a big hit with her. Everything works as it supposed to.
So, why not four or five stars? Well, really, this retails for about $80, and it definitely isn't worth this because the back of the chair comes unfinished. So, unless you have an actual Throne Room, where your little monarch can greet her subjects, you will occasionally-- most likely-- have the back of the chair showing. And, it is unattractive. There are about eight to ten screw heads sticking out of it, the long part of the necklace, and it's left completely unadorned. I imagine it would have cost Mattel an additional fifty cents to create a snap-on plastic plate to cover all this. And, they didn't do it.
The chair is only attractive from the front. My daughter wanted to put this upstairs and use it with her Disney Princess Vanity (that came with a little plastic stool) and now the pretty part of the chair only shows in the mirror of the vanity. It's just really ugly from the back. I am trying to decide how to cover that part, but since the screws actually stick OUT of the chair about a quarter inch (safely-- surrounded by plastic), I can't just put on some pretty decals. I'm going to have to actually do something a bit more time-consuming.
Other gripe: The chair's removeable jewelry is not so well-made. The chairs gems are really removeable bracelets, rings, earrings, necklace, and crown. They are very very cheaply made-- no better than the kids' toy store jewelry you might buy occasionally. They are not so easy to pull out of the chair and they are not so easy to snap back in. She can do it some of the time, but often needs assistance. Also, the earrings are molded kind of weirdly with two little pieces of protruding plastic that hurt anyone's ears when put on. The good part about this is that they can stay on, but they really hurt. The rings are too big (like most pretend jewelry) but the bracelets are perfectly sized.
The skirt would have been improved for both the chair and the girl had it been a bit elasticized.
From the front, this is a great little throne. With batteries, it plays a short ceremonial melody every time someone sits upon it. My daughter loves this. And, it has two little secret compartments-- under the seat (which uses a little button or key to open it) and on the arm rest (a teeny princess doll is included, but watch out! The legs break off of this immediately and you have to keep snapping them on!) The other armrest has a built in mirror.
So, my daughter really likes her throne and I like that she likes it. I am very much less unimpressed with the big huge shortcut Mattel took when making it, though.

 little princessAug 05, 2007
By DBrillant

We bought this chair for my daughter for her 5th b-day. The chair was a huge hit. All the little girls loved sitting on it. A perfect spot for someone to sit while opening their gifts.
The chair seems larger than it looks, it's very low to the ground. I suggest this is better for a younger child who can grow into the chair. (I just purchased my second one for my two year old niece. Ok to fit up to a 7 year old, also depending on weight. The quality of the chair is thick plastic. The earrings and tiara have dangling stones that fall off, so watch out. The chair opens, so you can store items inside, and the necklace is the key to open the chair.

 The Princesses ThroneJul 27, 2007
By L. K. Taylor
This throne was an absolute hit at my daughter's fifth birthday party. All the girls enjoyed sitting on the throne with their wands and tiaras, taking pictures. It was the last piece of the puzzle that I was searching for for my daughter's Princess party where every girl, really felt like a princess.

Loves It!Dec 12, 2007
By A. D. Wheetley
My six year old got this for her birthday (from me) and she just loves it. I woke up this morning and she was already sitting in it, jewelery on, watching scooby doo. It's sturdy, adorable, and letting her find all the "secret" stuff imbeded in the back was a joy to watch. Some assembly is required, but I got it together and ready in less than twenty minutes with no swearing or calling of husband for help. I definitley recommend, though, if you give it as a gift, to have it assembled before you unviel. Definitley worth the price, can't recommend it enough.

Way overpriced....the jewelry needs alot of work.Dec 27, 2007
By J. Hall-lavoie
"Stay at Home Mom"
Santa brought this to my 3.5 year old daughter and she was thrilled. Another toy I would not have paid full price for, I found it on Amazon the week prior to Christmas for $24.88. It went together nicely. However as soon as she played with it the jewelry literally fell apart. The chair is cute and the idea is great, but at $50..I would have cried. I don't feel so bad having paid $25.
