Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks great but directions are a little frustrating.

It's really cute and looks great once assembled. I bought it to give my sister for Christmas and now I like it so much I want to keep it for myself (I won't but I'm gonna buy another one for me). Also, if it's of interest to anyone, it took me about a day to assemble it from start to finish.The downside is that the directions are not the clearest I've read. They use photos instead of diagrams and it's sometimes difficult to figure out what goes together and how. It's also very unforgiving to mistakes because everything is glued together. Another issue with the directions is that they don't include "wood glue" in the list of things you need to assemble it but literally everything needs to be glued together. You'd figure it out quickly but it's annoying to sit down and think you have everything you need only to find you need to make a run to the hardware store. I also recommend you have a pair of needle nosed pliers for putting things into tight areas, a set of clamps for holding bigger parts together while the glue dries and lots of clothes pins or small clamps for holding smaller pieces. I also used an old and inexpensive flat artist paintbrush to apply the glue (keep a cup of water nearby so the glue doesnt dry in the brush) but fingers would work too.Finally, the one of the wires came out of the battery box so the light source stopped working before I was even finished building it. Fortunately my father enjoys building electronics so he was able to solder the wire back into place without any trouble but it would have been really upsetting if that hadn't been an option for me.
