Spilay Dollhouse Miniature with Furniture,DIY Kit Mini Modern Villa Model with Music Box,1:24 Scale Creative Doll House Best Christmas Birthday Gift for Lovers Boys and Girls(Florence)

The media could not be loaded. The scale of this miniature is tiny! You have to cut out every little piece and assemble with glue. I used tacky glue for most of it and hot glue gun for the floral pieces. It is very tedious to put together. The only thing that comes pre-assembled is the wicker seat. You will be cutting out, gluing and assembling everything else including all furniture! It came out nice, but took around 22 hrs to complete. You will need multiple tweezers and side cutters for wires. The kit was complete and the directions were pretty good. Stringing the electrical pieces was the worst part, but I got it to work in the end. If you are looking for a challenge, this is it! Good luck!

I am loving this kit SO much!! But beware, this is complicated, very detail oriented, has tiny, tiny parts, and several steps for some of the builds. Fun for patient and hyper focused adults.

The instructions I received was very tiny compared to some I have seen for this model so it was difficult to see. The how-to was lacking in the instructions so you need to have experience and a good imagination to complete this. All of the parts were there but I used some of my own materials to customize this. Overall, I was very happy with the results.

Not for a new crafter but it was fun for someone who likes to craft dollhouses from a kit. For me the crafting is therapeutic so this was fun - the kit was complete and correct with standard supplies and directions.

It seemed like the directions were changed and/or updated, but the pieces in the kit weren't. I've built a lot of these miniatures, but this one was the most inconsistent. I'd recommend the seller open it and try to build it and you will see what I'm talking about. The lights also didn't work no matter what I tried. Frustrating when you spend hours on something that pieces don't fit and lights don't work.

I wavered on the number of stars to give this as I enjoy putting it together and it had a lot of good features, pleased with most of the results. But I think for most people it would be a big challenge. I do a lot a crafting and had to use things I had on hand, plus I added my own preferences.. I made paper flowers for the bead vases for instance. The pieces to this are very small and require a lot of concentration and attention to detail. I used a lot of sharp point rounded tooth picks to hold beads to make the vases and bottles. They wanted you to use the tiniest labels I have ever seen on the bottles. Tried 2 and when I showed my husband he couldn’t see them. There really is no reason to use them as everything is inside the building and hard to see. I ended up not attaching the 2 roofs as I did all the work on these small pieces and you can’t really see anything with the roofs on. The under water sections are cute but you can’t leave them unattached. You can barely see anything in the upper room. They want a number of things made using a white coated wire. Gluing that stuff was such a nightmare I didn’t use it for the underwater ladder or even some of the chairs, using round and flat toothpicks instead. Underwater I arranged it more the way I liked it and added some preserved elk horn moss between the rocks on the building. There wasn’t enough of the dried green flowers they provided to do everything. If you attempt this, you will get glue everywhere as the pieces are so small. But with a little bit of work you can remove most of it. The directions are in English with good photos but a few of the dimensions given are incorrect and I was missing a few tiny pieces. But I was able to make them using toothpicks and other materials I had. I enjoyed the creativity, even the challenge of how small it was to work with. For the fish, you can cut theirs out but I used some scrapbooking stickers of small fish I already had. Their colors were brighter and I didn’t have to glue them. If you have a machine to make stickers, I would suggest using it for the fish and birds you stick on the clear cover. I really like what I ended up with but for one thing, the dust cover. Gluing it was difficult, and there is no way you can do it without getting glue where you don’t want to. Even though I used a clear glue it dries less clear than I liked and you can see it in all the seams, and where I couldn’t remove it from near the seams where it slid. When done it’s attractive, very cute, and the lights make the entire thing. With all the wires I wasn’t able to put the wires and battery case into the back of the house but you can hide the wires for the most part.. I left the battery case on the table behind it. If you like working with very tiny things,( a magnifying glass came in handy) and you do other crafts, then I think you might enjoy working on this, just allow a week or 2.

This product was an awesome experience for me and I will be ordering several more. It is time consuming but if you take the time then it is by far awesome and the turn out was great and it was only my 2nd mini house and I can't wait to do my next one!

Very hard to do; but the end result is almost museum-quality. You will like this. But;…you will need patience…and a little bit of skill.
