Doll's house repair

I left a very nice doll's house outside, it caught rain and cold. My daughter would love it repaired, it's a wood one, is it worth repairing? can it be brought back to it's former glory?

"Hi, it depends on the wood it's made of. Some wood when it gets wet it bloats and cracks so not likely to repair."

"Hi,
Mostly the answer would be no. This all depends upon the present condition of the wooden structure itself. Then the outer decor labels? One would have to investigate personally. Belied making a decision one way or other.

"Yes it can be repaired but it depends on how it's badly damaged and how much you pay for it."

"it depends on the material its made off. if its mdf, the worse ever and its like a sponge and not worth the time or hassle to repair and mdf is cheap to make new one"

"Hi there, only solid wood can potentially be repaired, resanded, cut or repainted. MFC, MDF or even plywood would not tolerate swelling and you will not be able to repair"

"If it was left just one day or one night outside it would be fine, if longer then not"
