I bought this for my granddaughter who will be 6 in a few weeks.  Based on the reviews, I was prepared for it to be nice.  I was not prepared for how truly lovely it is!  It is so solid and yet not too heavy for a little girl.  You can't tell from the picture all the detail that is in the design.  Just beautiful.  I think after Cara gets hers, her older sister, who will be 13, will want one as well.  Definitely would recommend this for any little girl!
