Patience is a must, but very rewarding when complete.
I saw one of these in a shop when I was visiting NYC and thought my wife would like it. Little did I know that every item has to be constructed. The instructions are detailed, but vague, but once you get the gist of it they flow. Iâve got big hands so I put together a few pieces of furniture and left the smaller stuff for my wife. As much as she cursed during the building process, I believe that every time she finished one of the items in the kit she was pretty impressed. Itâs 95% finished as of writing this review and itâs actually pretty awesome! I wish I could shrink down and walk around in the little shop. The big thing is that you can make it your own. Iâd recommend building the three main walls first cause itâs more rewarding filling the space as you go through and build the furniture and accessories.

Fun first miniature build!
This kit was a great hook for me to get obsessed with miniatures. The instructions were easy to follow and the materials were great. The only thing that I didnât like was the paper flooring which I swapped out for faux wood flooring and I gave up on the chair. The space is very tight so leaving the chair out made it less cramped. My only wish is that more of the books had actual titles rather than âBookâ.

A lot of tiny work – which makes it amazing
This is my first miniature set ever, but I knew I would like it before I bought it. I’m half way through and having a blast. There are so many tiny pieces to assemble, with super detailed and clear instructions, and using many diverse methods (cutting and folding paper, gluing wood pieces, wrapping cord, painting pieces, bending wire…).If this is what you are looking for, you will LOVE it. But I wouldn’t recommend it as a gift unless you know the receiver will like it – it’s definitely not for everyone. And especially not for most kids – pieces are tiny, and it requires dexterity, time and patience.That said, 5 stars from me. All the plants are so detailed and great, that’s the my favorite part. My one issue, there are several wooden parts to pain white, and though it was fun, it took several layers to make them white rather than a whiteish wood, which was annoying because you have to wait while each layer dries. But still, this is a small part of the project, and it provides enough paint.

Quality model that looks great
This model was a lot of fun to construct! It’s the first time I made a diy model dollhouse, so it took me some time, probably around 40 hours, maybe more. I would give this model 4.5 stars if I could. The reduction in stars is only because in some parts the instructions were unclear and they had you cut a small wood dowel to create bench legs instead of having it in precut pieces. Also, some of the prepainted pieces were warped and required clamping to glue properly. None of these really detracted from the end result, which was a beautiful model coffee shop.Everything in the kit looks wonderful when made and is enjoyable to put together. There were even some extras of the tiny parts Incase you screwed up something or lost a bead. The kit comes with plenty of glue that adheres well, although you may wish to get a glue bottle with a fine point applicator to make life easier.The kit does come with tweasers, but they are low quality. My recommendation is to buy a model tool kit that includes a few high quality tweezers and an exacto knife. For the electrical components you will need a mini screwdriver (a glasses repair kit from the dollar store will do fine) and wire strippers and needlenose pliers.Outside of the tools, what you need to construct this is patience, attention to detail, and fine motor skills. I hope this review was helpful and that you get as much enjoyment as I did building this model!

Amazing detail and so fun to assemble
I bought this for my teenage daughter. This is a very detailed kit. To be honest, it took months to assemble and you need a very large table area, but it is so worth it. What an amazing amount of detail! Very meditative craft. You could probably customize it a bit with your own paint colors but we assembled it per directions. Very tempted to buy the library next!

Tough assembly
This requires a TOUGH assembly – too tough for me (but I was never good at model airplanes either)! I saw the finished piece at a gift shop, and it was really nice. So, if you buy oneâ¦ good luck!

The most fundamental and cheapest get away
I regretted the shopping when I saw the instruction first. You may think absolutely no way doing this but I have learned I do things regardless whether I like or not nowadays. This is not cute, fun, worth, satisfying, beginning nor ending. This is ZEN more to the torture side.I and my 13 year old daughter had a quality time together. Do I want to try another one? No thank you. I’d rather spend nights of training to swing baseball bat 2000 times or so after this. You have done means you are done.The LED light was ugly so I put chapstick cap as a shade that fits perfect.

A few bumps, but turned out great!
This took me four days to complete, and probably around 30 hours total. All the pieces came unbroken and none of the wood was warped. I would advise using a glue stick for all the books and other paper things. Otherwise, you’ll run out of glue, especially if you plan to glue everything down like I did. Gluing everything down also makes it possible to turn the light on without knocking everything over since the switch is on the bottom. I decided I didn’t like the look of the red chair, so I used one I had leftover from another kit.Like other reviewers said, the lamp was incredibly difficult. It took me about two hours to put together. I used some of the extra brown wire to hold the lamp wiring to the metal chandelier. I also decided not to glue it to the roof, but instead used a manual drill to put two holes in the roof, threaded some wire through, and wrapped it around the top of the lamp. I did that to hold the wiring to the corners, too.Overall, this was a ton of fun to put together and it looks great!
