Lovely in THEORY on my review.

While this ket is lovely in theory, it includes tons of different pieces and accessories and fairly detailed instructions for basic assembly - many of the pieces are very poorly designed - not well thought out. There is reference in the front of the instruction book for U Glue and White Glue (neither of which were included in my kit - not 100% sure if they were suppose to be included) But this is not my first rodeo with building a dollhouse - so I happen to have a drawer full of about 30 different types of glue on hand - good thing too cause first off WHAT the heck is U Glue? And even the term white glue is vague. I am over half way through the kit and so far have had to use quick dry pva glue, wood glue, E6000, super glue, and Epoxy glue to adhere all the different types of materials together for a lasting bond. The materials: ohh boy - the variety of materials used in the kits is plentiful - again in theory that would be lovely . . but . . . . the laser cut wood pieces are VERY fragile - I had the table completely assembled with the table cloth and dried overnight . . . this morning when I went to glue the tea towel on top (along with the other items that sit on the table) the simple act of applying a TINY bit of pressure to the table top while glueing an item in place resulted on one of the legs on the table completely splintering and breaking off (that was fun to try and fix - double reinforcing all the seams with glue and then taking an extra layer of modge podge to the entire wood service for added strength. The cake display cabinet was a whole nother nightmare . . the template was about .2cm too bit all the way around on the acetate - getting the acetate to stick/glue to the resin pieces was a whole nother adventure - while I managed to get the main display case together (glue one piece at a time and allowing the glue to FULLY dry before moving onto the next piece) the black smaller display case that's meant to sit on top of it was a whole nother story . . after 3 days of fighting with one piece at a time trying to line up the acetate within the poorly designed pieces - trying 3 different types of glue to get the acetate to stay in place against the tiny edges and eventually super gluing my fingers to the side of the stupid thing while trying to balance and hold the piece long enough for the glue to take hold this item ultimately ended up in the trash as it was beyond saving. The good news is - I didn't buy this kit with the intention of building it as instructed - mostly I just needed the 1:24 scale cakes and tea sets that are included for another project (finding those in the size I needed outside of a kit proved impossible) And the cakes and tea sets are PERFECT :)
