Why is the recommended age 6YO? Are they not sturdy (enough for a 3YO?)

Yes, it is rather on the delicate side more for an older child's doll house or adult.

In my opinion the furniture is very fragile. It looks nice in the house but definitely would not be for small children

I guess it depends on your 3 yo, but these were definitely not sturdy enough for my 2 yo and her almost-3 yo friend.. multiple pieces were broken within the first few days. :(

These are small pieces and could also be broken which can generate small parts - in either case since it involves small pieces must be the reason. Other than that I am not sure.

I think they would be fine for a 3 year old, as there are no small parts and they are really fun. I think a small would be fine for a 3 year old

The age would not be inappropriate but the quality is poor. My kids went through two of these and they broke very easily. We returned them and got something else.

The boys we bought them for were 2 & 4 years old. They are now 3&5 and continue to ride them. The older one was riding them at preschool. I would say in that age range.

No I don't think they are sturdy enough. In fact, I would even view them as fragile for a 6 year old. I'm sure the pieces would come off and could be swallowed or be used to poke someone. It is a beautiful set and looks great in a dollhouse. I believe the quality is also very nice.

I would say probably, the 6 yr. old will have no problem, the 3 yr. old needs to have a little "dexterity" and be able to hang the pieces, it is a balancing act. You know your grandchildren so you have to judge.

I bought sets for both my 6 year old and my 10 year old. I wouldn't recommend them for a child younger than 6, they do have some small pieces.

I would be careful with a 2 year old. How much longer before he turns 3? My children were 6 and 4 so my youngest is slightly older but not much. My youngest likes to jump off of EVERYTHING so he loves it!

We bought them for a six year old and eight year old. Both have been very happy with it. A 3 year old plays on it at basketball practice. It is very sturdy. Since you can add Android apps you should be able to use it for older kids but the style might look too "little kid" for anyone over 10.

If you have enough, it might be fun for a 7 yr old.....my 9 yr old grand daughter played with them awhile but is not interested now. They do tend to fall down easily so can be frustrating for some children

They are pretty sturdy, but could not take repeated jumping, etc.. My four year old grandson can stand on one without crushing.

I believe that they are suppose to be for around 3 years old....but my 18 month old granddaughter plays with them alot. She does not always use them as they are...somtimes they are bad guys or pirates, depending on what her big brothers are playing at the time. She loves them.

Yes that's why they had to put an age requirement on this toy. I let my 2 year old play with these. He was always supervised. This is a great toy but if you let your child under 3 play with this set alone it could be considered a choking hazard.

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

Toddlers, no problems.. I think my children played with them until about7-8 yrs and had to jump on them to collapse them.

It depends on the size of the child of course. (Yesterday, my 10 year-old grandson stood next to a six year-old who had him by twenty pounds.) In general though I agree that they will be bigger than ideal for a child six or younger. That doesn't mean they are not useable, in fact my granddaughter seems to like that big look and feel.)

We've had ours for a couple months and we use them all the time with our 16 month old. They seem to be holding up fine and still look and act new. I hope this helps.
