14 years and older?! Ha! in Logic

Sigh, where do I start. I ordered this for my 16 year old daughter for a coronation event. She loves Lego very much and has been collecting Ikea furniture for me since she was 9 years old. I don't know if the kit we received is a one-time use, but it was a headache from the start. The pre-drilled holes don't match, the wiring has snapped from the bulb, the pins are too big to fit in the slots. There were tears and tantrums and it was just me! Now it is at a turning point. Tomorrow we will see if we can fix the wiring and continue with the build. Where's my glass of wine? Day Two: The husband rushed to the hardware store to get a small soldering kit. We managed to fix the weak wiring and now the lights are working again. As the build progressed, pieces popped out of the finished pieces and she had to screw them back into place. The daughter completed the projector with one exception. The pre-drilled holes for the door do not match the dowel. I promised her that I would never buy one of these sets again. She thanked me very much.
