This is a wonderful kit, filled with so many tiny details! You will need sharp scissors, fine point tweezers, glue, 3 AAA batteries, and good light to complete it, but it's very managable for crafty teens and adults, if you take care to organize your materials and take your time. This kit took me about 5 evenings to complete. I mostly used quick dry tacky glue, but did use super glue (CA) to glue the beads for the light fixtures together. This kit came with everything else needed, including clear, full color English instructions.

All of these kits are called "dollhouses" but they are not designed to be played with, although if you left off all the tiny little details, and just glued the house and furniture pieces together with minimal decoration, this one is probably sturdy enough to stand reasonably gentle play. I glued everything down, including the dog, rug, and furniture. The finished result is a miniature that everyone will admire and you can feel proud of having made.

There are loads of youtube videos that will give you a great idea how to put these kits together. Just search "DIY dollhouse". This is my first DIY dollhouse kit to make and I am looking forward to making many more.

I am totally a beginner at building miniatures and this was the first set I've ever attempted to assemble.

First, I was surprised at the quality of the materials provided. The house structure (walls, roof, door, etc) are thick and the furniture is pretty sturdy once you glue everything together.

I was a little intimidated (ok, A LOT) when I saw that the box and instructions weren't in English (Chinese, perhaps? I apologize as I'm not familiar with any character symbols), but after flipping through the instructions, there are VERY detailed picture instructions provided which made starting the project a breeze.

I do recommend having a good pair of needle nose tweezers for the very tiny pieces, and using toothpicks for applying tiny dabs of glue where you need it. I wasn't sure what glue would work best, but I found a small 4-pack of crafting glue that dries clear on Amazon as an Add-On item for about $5. It's that gold/brassy colored plastic bottle with a white cap you've seen in your mom's junk drawer growing up. Lol

I haven't fully completed it as of yet, but I'm halfway through and can't wait to get the lights working in the kit!

Again, I'm in no way shape or form a professional at this, and I reiterate that bc I've seen reviews on Flever miniature products calling this stuff cheap and whatnot. But honestly, as a first timer, I am extremely pleased with this brand bc it's been pretty easy with a few non-critical mistakes along the way. My sister-in-law visited from Canada, saw my half finished project, and had one prime shipped to our house for herself before she went back home bc she loves building miniatures (Metal Earth, Paper Craft, etc).

Hope this review helps!

I chose this as a gift for my wife, she ABSOLUTELY LOVED it. Big hit, one of the best gifts I've ever given her. Definitely need to get more of these. She was full of 'oohs' and 'aahs' and squeals of delight, not just from the moment she opened it, but the entire assembly. We also get lots of comments from friends over how unique and interesting it is.

I wanted to write a review because this is my first ever dollhouse project, nevermind working with glue in such a small way. I want to encourage everyone, because I almost didn't try. Sure, youtube some of these houses to see what it takes before you buy, but YOU CAN TOTALLY DO THIS!! and if I can I'm sure any middleschooler could. I'm not giving it to my 7 year old to do, if it's for a smaller child, but older and focused absolutely. It's small but simple, fun, directions are super common sense for the most part, and whats not you can figure out. And I am like a little kid myself, texting my mom all of these things I've made as I go along. Its sooooo fun and satisfying to complete each step. I've worked on it a couple hours and accomplished all this stuff. Don't be swayed! Try it!
