RolifeDIY Miniature House Kit Dora's Rooftop, Tiny House Kit for Adults to Build, Mini House Making Kit with Furnitures, Halloween/Christmas Decorations/Gifts for Family and Friends (Dora's Rooftop)

This was my first miniature build and it was fun! It was very overwhelming at first and took a while to get the hang of it, but don’t let it scare you away! I even attempted the lighting and unfortunately missed a step so I couldn’t get it to work, but I was proud of myself for actually getting the wires attached and working in the first step! Looking forward to building another just to get it lit.I think the directions were pretty well done, but could have been even better- more explanation or pictures- but they are pretty good for all of the fine detail. Looking at the assembly progression photos really helped me put it all together. I needed to use my fine point craft scissors for this one, and my needle nose pliers and definitely my hot glue gun for some of the parts, so be prepared for that. This thing is so cute and fits perfectly on any shelf or mantel! I’m excited to display mine and show everyone all the tiny little things I built!I’d say the hardest part was getting the wires to bend in the correct ways- my table, chairs, and barstools all came out super wonky because of the wire not bending just right. I guess that’s the difference between a beginner and a professional! But I’m definitely a beginner and thought this whole thing was very doable. Just takes a lot of time and patience. It probably took my 15 ish hours maybe?? That’s a total guess. Anyway, such a fun project!! Worth the work!

Really cute design and I loved putting it on my bookshelf!! Me and my friend worked on it for about a month to finish building it. For the most part, it has been super fun, but sometimes the instructions were lacking, so it took us a bit of time to figure everything out. The final build looks awesome and it is super high quality! Highly recommend for all my fellow book nerds.

Seriously stunning, the detail is incredible. My 10 yr old daughter is a crafter and this was at her limits. I was her helper for the impossible tasks like assembling individual leaves on plants... but if you can leave the whole thing out and do it when you're feeling it, take breaks, it's awesome. For $40 you get great instructions and pretty pieces that you could never assemble at that price... And you will be busy for easily 20 hrs. Can't wait for the next one

I did enjoy putting this together, but suspect it was a bit ambitious for my first attempt. I went off book quite a bit. The directions were not great but YouTube videos helped. Ultimately I chose to skip or ignore a lot of the “build this by twisting wire then adhere cardboard/stickers/individual petals. Basically several items were a pain and didn’t look great completed anyway. I also found the finished look busy and chose to pare down a lot. I added a few things and left off several other things, but it was fun to build.

I am a huge fan of these guys and I'm noticing that every set will have it's pros and cons.Though this set is worth the purchase, some obstacles I came across with this set were: the glue, instructions and some of the structure.The instructions were a bit confusing for me as some of the visuals would show different products or show products that look the same. I notice that when you put A and B together, the instructions showing how to put C and D together to connect to A & B, the picture of A and B is gone. Hope that makes sense!I advise to use a hot glue gun or your own glue as the glue included in the set made me feel sick once some fell on my skin. (They do have a warning about it being on the skin but how can you really avoid that? :) )The structure was another problem. You REALLY need a cutter or something sharp to remove the wooden pieces or else it can crack and/or break in half. Even chip! Don't push too hard, these pieces are somewhat fragile.Aside from all of this, it was a successful build and I will keep buying from them because I love them and there sets are awesome sauce!

This was my first mini DIY dollhouse type project. I've made jewelry and various other crafts my whole life so I'm very comfortable with pliers and glues and such so I wouldn't consider myself a complete novice, but I'm very bad at following instructions. I found this kit to be a delight. All the materials were provided except for glue, pliers, scissors, batteries and paint. I contacted the company because I wanted to use the glue they recommended and they responded immediately to my request. However, because of US customs they are unable to send batteries, paint and glue. Not a biggy as I have those items at home. Everything else needed is provided in the box, if anything there were extra materials. I was able to follow the instructions easily enough (which is really remarkable for me). It took me about 30 hours give or take to complete the project. I will buy another kit from this company for sure. None of the pieces broke as I read in some reviews of other kits. My only negative comments would be 1) I wish the instructions gave some tips on how to secure the items for gluing (but this does come with practice and experience); and 2) I wish there was an acrylic dust cover that either came with the kit or could be purchased to fit this project. I would feel comfortable buying this kit as a gift for someone who is crafty and has patience for details. I am thinking of making one for my dad as a gift. I really love the finished product. I will say that the pieces are SUPER tiny, like some of them were slipping from my tiny child-sized fingers. The tweezers provided in the kit were not very sturdy so I used my own, but even with tweezers, some items were round and couldn't really be held with tweezers. I'm 47 now, don't think I'll be able to do these in like 20 years when my hands and eyes won't be as spry. I'm off to shop for my next kit . . . .

Instructions were not always clear. The paper boxes were really hard to make because they were so small and on thin paper!!
