DIY Miniature House Kit with Furniture for Kids Teens Adults Aged 14+ | 1:24 Scale Wooden Mini Doll House Accessories Creative Room Book Nook(Forest Times)

My 16 y/o loved this product. It kept her busy for days. If you have a kid that likes to put little details and tiny things together, this is your product. The little details, the cuteness of the dollhouse and time away from social media was worth it. It took time to complete but not super difficult that it cannot be completed.

Love this dollhouse kit. All the pieces were there along with easy instructions. A lot of detail and good quality very strong. Made a nice gift. It was reasonably priced.

This was my first time doing a miniature project and I am very pleased with the results. I remember thinking when I first opened the package "wow, that's a lot smaller than I thought." I've since learned that you have to pay attention to SCALE, and being a 1:24 scale, this is smaller than the 1:12 scale found on most children's dollhouses. But this isn't really a children's dollhouse, this is a fun, puzzle-like challenge for anyone that has lots of free time on their hands. I'll admit, there were times when I felt a bit overwhelmed at the task, like making the tiny books, but I just kept plugging away at it. I found that for the most part the directions were easy enough to follow, although you have to apply common sense to some things. For example, the pillows they instruct you to glue, but after that didn't seem to work at all, even using fabric glue, I resorted to needle and thread which is what I should have used from the beginning because the glue I used showed through the fabric. I also totally missed the part about the clear acrylic piece being used to create the mesh basket, so I eliminated the basket altogether. Also I went ahead and glued all the furniture items at the beginning so I didn't risk losing any of the wood pieces. I worked on the project over a period of 8 weeks, and kept everything on a large tray so I could move it out of sight when I was working on it. I personalized it by changing up a few things, like the blue wallpaper which I changed to a red paper I had on hand to give it more contrast. I also changed the plants the little dog is watering as I didn't like how the taller plants blocked seeing the dog. If I had to do it over again I would have used a different glue on the flooring since the glossy paper they provide is non-porous causing it to buckle a bit. Luckily most of that is covered by the area rug. I also would have glued the chandelier before completing the house and the manner in which they have you wire the wall sconce could be improved. As a completed project it is super cute and the lighting feature makes it even more endearing as a night light. I also purchased the Christmas version which I look forward to completing for the holidays. I wish they made more versions in this series where it is a self-contained room with a roof.

I really enjoyed this kit and I look forward to displaying it at Christmas. It was my first time doing a miniature kit and my expectations were somewhat low after reading the reviews. But I was pleasantly surprised! The product quality was good and it was fun! So much so that I purchased a second one from this line and that's my next project. Some things of note: 1. Parts and materials: there were a lot of reviews that said there were missing pieces. That was not my experience; however, I would suggest you take some time before getting started on your project to inventory everything in the kit. There is an instruction booklet in the box that details with images everything that should be included. Also in the box you should find a glossy paper with lots of images you will need to fussy cut out to complete the project (everything from the wallpaper and flooring to tiny decor items). Make sure you have that paper, and don't toss it. Also in the box should be a paper with cutting templates/patterns on it. This is key to cutting the fabrics and other construction materials to the correct dimensions. So make sure you have that and don't toss it. 2. Tools and glue (or lack there of): There are no tools included, nor is there glue. I recommend you have the following items at hand: Tacky Glue (regular, quick grab or both), a strong double-sided tape adhesive such as Scor-tape or Redline tape, a small Phillips screwdriver (only needed to unscrew and rescrew the battery compartment), detail scissors (small and pointy), regular scissors, fabric scissors, a handful of toothpicks, a few bulldog clips in various sizes, a few straight pins, a craft knife with a fresh blade, a small cutting surface (like a self-healing mat), detail tweezers (a couple pair if you have them), small pieces of cardboard (to pour glue onto so that you can then pick it up with a toothpick to glue tiny elements together), scrap paper, small containers to corral beads and tiny things (I used lids from empty vitamin bottles, but any little vessel(s) would work), and a magnifying glass. Young, healthy eyes might get by without the magnifying glass, but my 55 year-old eyes found it helpful when working with the tiny printed images in the kit. 3. Batteries: There are no batteries included and the product description mentions you need 2 AAA batteries. That is incorrect, and you'll quickly figure that out when you see the included battery compartment. I wasn't sure what type of battery was needed. I scoured the comments to see if anyone discussed it, and I didn't see the specific battery type mentioned. I finally took my trusty magnifying glass and looked at the lid of the battery compartment and could read that they are LR1130 AG10 batteries. It takes 2. 4. No music: There is no music box element included in the kit. I didn't want it anyway. I believe you can purchase that separately. The space for it on the wall gets covered with furniture so you don't see it from inside the house. 5. Scale: the scale seems a bit all over the place, but I don't mind. It's still charming. It seems to be a combo of 1:18 and 1:24 scale. The house possibly 1:18 and the furnishings 1:24-ish. The elements are pretty little, so don't expect 1:12 scale if that is what you are used to working in. 6. Lighting: The wiring instructions are a little vague. Essentially, all gray wires are twisted tigether and wrapped in tape and all white wires are twisted together and wrapped with tape. From my own stash I added an additional string of tiny lights/fairy lights to my project's side exterior. 7. Be patient and be creative. It took me the better part of a 4-day weekend to complete. And there were lots of fiddly bits, some of which could get a little frustrating. My advice is, if you are struggling to make something work, take a break from it and work on another part. Also try to think of different ways to make something work. If you don't like certain elements, it's your kit, omit them if you want. Replace them with something you have that you like better if you want. Use the different elements the way you want to. Change things up if you desire. There are no miniature kit gods who are going to tell you that you can't change something. Be the boss of the kit. 8. Make it yours and have fun!

Wonderful kit! I had a tremendous amount of fun working on this. I was able to personalize many of the elements, which makes it even more appealing for me. I really like these room box kits, because you really can do as much personalization as you like. If you are new to minis, you can follow the directions carefully. If you're more experienced, you can follow your imagination. Either way you end up with something you can look at with great pride. These room kits also make great gifts!

The directions are terrible. The kit doesn’t come with any glue (yes that was in the description) or tape either. The pieces are far too small, the measurements are off, and there’s no guide on where to put many of the pieces. Rolife all the way.

Honestly, not bad at all was missing a couple pieces but I made it work but overall I loved it!!

This is the first kit of this sort that I have done, but I am an experienced crafter and have built and made many of my own miniatures. I enjoyed doing this kit. I added some upgrades and made a few small modifications but mostly stuck with the plan. I was a little disappointed that the layout of the furniture has to be in exactly the location shown because it doesn't fit in any other way. Some of the small detail pieces were crazy hard, like rolling miniscule pieces of paper, so I would often improvise and do things my own way. Even though this kit is all inclusive, I think people with at least some creativity and problem-solving skills will have more success with it. Also, I have an abundance of crafting tools which also helped me to successfully execute this kit. Overall, it's a fun kit and I really love the light up feature.

I am very impressed with this so far, it does require a lot of patience, good tacky glue, steady hand and good eyesight, these pieces are very minuscule - but so far I am enjoying working on this craft project.

Beautiful end result! The curtain hooks were a nightmare to make. Also, the kit didn’t come with glue. Really fun project otherwise.

The quality was really good and it had clear and simple instructions. Overall it was hard for me to put together since I didn’t have the right glue ( I used a hot glue gun). But if your into arts and crafts or want to make this for fun then this product is great choice.

Love this. So much fun putting together. Recommend for anyone who like miniatures.

Lovely little room
