If anyone is looking for a nice way to keep their minds occupied while being stuck at home during this pandemic, I can certainly recommend this beautiful model (I purchased the greenhouse). Instructions are clear and concise, you also get two other pages that you can use to measure up your parts if you're not sure that you have the right one. Most are pre-painted except for a few of the larger parts that encompass the flooring etc iirc. My kit came with two types of glue, latex and a type of liquid glue that's unlabelled but seems to resemble UHU all purpose in how it behaves.Would I recommend this to beginners? Well, probably not. There is a lot of intricate and detailed work to do.If you have zero experience with models, don't expect this to be an easy ride, it will take many hours of diligent work and bucket loads of patience, the parts are small and require steady hands. If you have experience with crafts/arts/models, it will of course help but I imagine many would easily get frustrated otherwise.Having said that, everything is there if you're willing to take your time and have a go.. it's worth every penny and I commend the modeller(s) who created this little work of art. The detail and intricacy in every part is truly gorgeous. I can't wait to finally finish it and turn on that little light.Extra tools I'd recommend:Small pair of scissors (possibly even surgical, some of the plant cutouts/leaves and other bits are that small)Hobby knife with various bladesSolid pair of tweezers (the ones in the kit are just about okay but you'd do well do have something sturdier)If your kit doesn't come with glue due to shipping restrictions, I'd recommend getting a good wood glue and UHU is good (but can be messy if you're not nimble), some superglue wouldnt go amiss in certain applications either.Other than that.. I think all you need is a good attitude to get it done!

My mum bought me this greenhouse for my birthday after I saw it on a buzzfeed list and fell in love.It is very fiddly, and takes a long time, but is completely worth it!Had some difficulty with the wiring, but that is purely down to the fact I'm quite clumsy in general. I was incredibly proud of every little peice I put together. Constantly sending my mum photos of each flower pot next to a 2p coin for scale.Once it was all finally complete it was amazing to see something I had created.The instructions are sometimes a little difficult to follow, but patience is needed. If you dont get a fold right, take a step back, move onto the next flower and go back to it.This would be a fantastic present for anyone with a creative mind.You dont have to have a lot of free time, as you could do just a couple of hours a week, once its finished you will be so proud. It's now at my mums house in her conservatory, she turns on the light at night and it looks just lovely.I ordered Sam's Study the week after I finished it (took me 4 months in all) and I'm half way through that now.I intend to get all the kits eventually. My mum will have to put up more shelves!

I have previously done the bookshop which was challenging to make for a somewhat clumsy crafting newbie but I adored it. So I bought another. This one is even more challenging to do! Very fiddly lovely distracting and engaging product which will fill hours of time. (It literally will take many hours). I have three negative points: firstly the English translation on instructions is sometimes very strange and unclear. This is compounded by slightly small and therefore unclear photos. Instructions could be improved. Finally -absolutely no ‘slack’ for errors or dropping tiny parts. No spares of anything whatsoever. What you need is included but not a single bit more than that so if you do mess up or lose a tiny piece (bead or whatnot),or cut the plastic ‘glass’ incorrectly, tough.Tip: take only the smallest nib off the top of the glue when you snip it or it will pour out which is not helpful for such a delicate craft. Keep the flow very minimal. Also, Prut stick works well for some gluing and less messy.

I bought this as a little project as I love crafting and wanted to make a little something for my best friends daughter for her sylvanian family's. I choose 'Doro's Loft' as i thought it looked pretty in the pictures and thought it be perfect, however now I have started it I wouldn't fully recommend 'Doro's Loft' as the instructions on certain parts are not well written with the way it has been worded, so it makes it confusing at times!I am also having to adjust quite a few things due to this and also down to some of the parts supplied are not very good...for example the stairs are terrible to put together so brittle....so I have had to order something else to make the stairs.It should stillbe cute once I have finished but it's taking a lot of adjusting.

I am so in love with Millers Garden. The first miniature kit I have completed. It's fiddly, frustrating at times, and beautiful.I would recommend a cutting mat and craft knife, as well as some less bendy tweezers. jewellery pliers also useful but not essential.I had to give up on a couple of the components, mostly wirework, so tricky to get right, but I don't think the finished piece looks any less beautiful for not having the missing bits.In terms of value for money, this took me many many hours to make, and I feel it was worth every penny.Only problem with this one is, no dustcover included, which is essential as it would be nigh on impossible to keep dust free once on display.Highlyrecommend.

This is a fun crafting project. I didn't expect it to be so detailed and miniscule - you will need to do literally everything. It can take 2 hours to make one piece! The glue it comes with is not strong, so that adds to the time waiting for things to dry. I suggest purchasing super-glue for some parts. You will need good close up vision as you are literally working on a very small scale. My husband wanted to join in with me, but once he saw how small everything was he backed out! It's great for people with a lot of time on their hands, and who can work with very, very small parts. It will likely take me months to finish and I'm worried I've already lost interest due to how slow the processis.

I bought this kit as a Christmas gift for my mum. It was well packaged and made an attractive gift.Mum is an experienced crafter, but found this kit to be quite tricky. She enjoyed making it though, with the exception of the LED light which was so very difficult that she gave up. Also be aware that the batteries for this are not included.It would be so much better if the light was already wired together. We will replace it by winding a wire set of fairy lights around the roof grid.My mum also said that some of the making is very fiddly and repetitive, like making the books.It is a great kit and good quality which is why I give it 4 stars, but it’s a big job for a little kit!

My build is still in progress, but so far I am really enjoying it.At some points the instructions could be a tad clearer, but there are plenty of photos so it's easy enough to work out. Could have done with a tad more glue and paint (I've topped it up from my own supply) but otherwise I am very very happy.I've now finished all the furniture and the main frame and light and am so impressed with the whole kit. The value for money is phenominal in my opinion and I am having so much fun.Just got to make a million tiny books and photos to fill the shelves now and can't wait.Over all I love it.

I love this kit. It took patience, care, and some things were quite fiddly, definitely not a novice craft. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and I think this is excellent value for money! As a huge fan of crafting and miniature work, I normally craft from scratch and it can take months to complete a project but this took around 30 hours to complete in total which I did over a long weekend. I was even able to customise the floor, furniture, walls and positioning. Comes highly recommended.

Came across this on a major right street retailers website, but it was slightly more expensive, so bought it on here.It is extraordinarily cute, because the attention to detail needed for each and every item is fascinating. I’m not even 5% of the way through it yet, but there are a couple of items missing ALREADY, which for the price, isn’t great - the batteries were missing for the ceiling light. So now I have to go and buy some (CR2032). Other than that, so far so good.

Bought as a gift for my book loving sister and it went down like a lead balloon. I enjoy books too and i would have loved getting this. I pitched it as a cool book nook and said it could go on a shelf inbetween some books after 20 hours of fun putting it together. She said she didnt have much time these days and all her bookshelves were full already. She didnt seem eager to relocate 3 hardbacks to accommodate it either ? I still think it's cool and I'll get one for myself.

Hours and hours of entertainment. Good for two people as long as tasks are divided beforehand, and a great bonding experience.Some pieces are very very tiny and fiddly, so a lot of patience is necessary. My advice is to persist, you will get the hang of it and when you realise, hours have gone by in a second!I recommend you buy an acrylic cube to place over it as it will gather dust and it will be impossible to clean properly.

I got this as a birthday present for my sister and she is enjoying putting it together but was rather annoyed that one of the pieces was missing and she got an additional piece which she didn’t need at all. And one of the pieces was warped so the cupboard is slightly leaning. A really nice idea but we just wish that the pieces had been made properly

I thought this would be a miniature Ikea nightmare, what with it all being flatpack, but was up for a challenge. It's all done now and I am very impressed with it and so is everyone who sees it. Patience is needed but I could easily sit with it on a tray of an evening, making all the little bits and bobs whilst watching Two And A Half Men.
