Fun Build!
What a fun greenhouse to build!I got this for my Mom for Mother's Day. She has dementia and loved watching me put it together for her.This was not my first miniature build so I knew what to expect. Taking my time with each step was important.I also use my own Tacky glue instead of the double sided tape for most of the build. I made sure to use the double sided tape when working with the plastic greenhouse material though.Pros-Everything was labeled wellEasy to figure out what went whereGood lighting for finished productGood quality materialsPlenty of supplies (extras if needed)Well thought out kit!Cons- only oneBattery compartment is in the back and not easily accessible to switch on and off. I left the battery pack over to the side so my mom can turn it off and on.

Very fun project!
So fun! If you're on the fence, just do it. This was very satisfying!I will say that its a bit slow at first because you'll start to get tired of shaping plants lol, but oh man once it starts coming together its hard to stop. Ended up staying up til 4am doing this and binging Broadchurch and it was a great night. Did I get the light working? No. What am I, an electrician? Its still cool regardless! Its a good idea to use a combo of their included tape + some kind of hot glue or super glue for some parts. Other wise its gonna be Fragile afI love all the little details, especially the books. I will definitely be getting a book-centric one next time.

It'll take you a week to put this !#!@ thing together, but, its lovely.
I bought this as a Mother's Day gift, unfortunately, I am not as patient as my wife...These are great, but be prepared to spend a week assembling this. You also have to wire in the light yourself; however, it is lovely. Not a suitable item for someone with limited patience, such as myself, but she loves doing this tedious dodiddle stuff.

Lots of fun, only downside is the double sided tape
My wife and I are really enjoying putting this together. She likes Lego kits, I'm more interested in model kits like trains, so this is a great middle ground. There was a bit of learning curve for me at first, figuring out how much force to exert without breaking pieces, and I learned to keep superglue on hand for missteps (use it sparingly because the paper pieces will get stained).The one thing I don't particularly like about the kit is that it relies largely on double sided tape to connect pieces. A lot of pieces snap together, but perhaps just as many pieces have to be connected using small strips of double sided tape (included with the kit). This is essentially at your own discretion, whatever works to make it stick. Technically, the instructions show you how to place the strips, but the size of the strips never quite matches up to the image, so you have to either cut the tiny pieces of tape or get creative with their placement. For me, using tape makes it feel a bit more like a DIY job than a store-bought model. The tape only touches parts of each piece (it's not applied to the whole back of a piece, for example, but two edges of it), so the pieces with tape aren't attached 100%. Perhaps because of this, I don't find using tape to be as satisfying as snapping pieces together or even using superglue.My suggestion to the creators would be to consider offering kits where 100% of pieces can be connected by design OR providing instructions for using superglue. For instance if the kit included a small brush for gluing, then glue could be applied to the tips/backs of pieces and the connections would be more durable.

Cute little build.
Super fun build! I'm new to these so I'm sure it took me longer than someone who's done these models before. A few hours over two days in total. All the material it came with was useful and the only thing I had myself was glue, or had to add since it doesn't come with glue but that's fine. The little light inside of it is super bright!

Amazing but holy detail Batman
Absolutely love it! I will say, it is not a quick one to do. Allllll of those plants are in multiple parts and they take awhile to get put together. It’s well worth the effort though

More than I imagined.
This little greenhouse kit was so much fun to work on! Although some of the pieces are so tiny and delicate, for my first experience I think I did a nice job on it. It’s beautiful when lit up in my office. I was so excited that I spent 4 long evenings on it. I was amazed at the high quality of all the different mediums that were used to build it. From plastic, a thick compressed wood, to delicately thin tissue like paper. Fabric, wire and all kinds of methods to create the flowers and plants. I can’t wait to order and work on another one. So much fun!!
