Our Take
The Sylvanian Families Grand Department Store (6017) is a large multi-storey wooden and plastic playset designed for children aged three and up. It recreates a shopping centre environment with multiple themed departments, and sits at the premium end of the Sylvanian range — a flagship set aimed at committed collectors and families already invested in the brand.
Key Features
Multi-floor department store layout with distinct sections including a café, fashion department, and cosmetics counter
Compatible with standard Sylvanian Families figures and furniture accessories sold separately
Wooden and plastic construction with printed detail panels giving a shopfront appearance
Includes a working lift/elevator mechanism connecting the floors
Comes with exclusive figures and select accessories included in the box
Folds out to create a wide open play surface, then closes for tidier storage
Our Verdict
Ideal for Sylvanian Families enthusiasts aged five and upward who already own figures and accessories, and for parents wanting a centrepiece gift that will sustain long-term imaginative play. Those new to the brand should budget for additional purchases; casual buyers may find smaller, cheaper sets offer better immediate value.
