Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 16 reviews.
This is one of the more intricate models I've had in a long time. I was not expecting there to be so many pieces to assemble, nor the detail that would be involved in making the pieces look like they are supposed to, which is the only reason for the four stars instead of five. This model is not easy, but it doesn't seem to be hard either, just really involved. It is made out of good quality particle board that is pre-printed to look like wood. And the stickers needed to add the details are not flimsy paper material, but seem like more of a high quality sticker that will adhere and stay looking the same for a time. It also comes with a lighting kit that is really cool because not only does it fit in with the over-all look, but it will make it so much easier to observe the many intricate details once it is finally finished. It is not a cheap model, but it is not a toy either. As far as this type of model goes, I feel that it is priced pretty appropriately.
Really magnificent. I'm only at the beginning but it's really very beautiful. However, be careful with the fittings because you'll need to give a little tap with the provided island on all the fitting parts.
A real joy of assembly, excellent quality, everything fits perfectly. I would buy this brand again, very happy with my purchase and the time spent assembling.
Good composition
Although the manual is well-organized, there are parts where it would be better if the order was different.
For example, after attaching the shelf to the wall, you might place flower decorations on the shelf.
We recommend assembling by changing the order appropriately.
There are so many details that it took two days.
