Cute but music box doesn't work

So I decided this would be a family craft. My 4 year old couldn't really help, it's me not the product. This is a very subtle, very detailed project. I think in total it took us about 5/6 hours for 3 sessions (due to the 4 year old mentioned). It's smaller than I thought so check the size. A large number of figures hardly fit together, so it was quite nervous. The pieces are very flimsy and I was afraid I'd break them all the time, especially towards the end when you put them all together. It's like a bunch of toothpicks glued together and stuck in a hole hoping they won't fall apart. When everything is assembled it is very beautiful. BUT then we turned it on and the damn music box hangs like every 2 seconds. At first I thought I wasn't winding it up enough so I wound it up a little bit more and then a little more and then I was definitely at the end of winding ability and it still did the same thing, 3 seconds of music and movement and then stop. When I press the cat, it keeps moving for 3 seconds and stops. And then it's all done, so there's definitely something wrong and I'm very frustrated after all the time and effort we put into putting it together. Sometimes I sweat like I'm defusing a bomb. Although the instructions are quite simple. So. I'm not sure I would end up recommending that.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
