I assembled it in less than 24 hours. It's not for everyone; it requires patience, and the pieces are so small they can hurt your fingers a little (I recommend using a piece of fabric to join the smaller pieces). But that's overshadowed by the very satisfying result; it's totally worth it once finished. Things to keep in mind: the pieces don't come in numbered bags, so it's best to open them all and separate them by color (I didn't do it, but honestly, it would have been easier that way). You need to designate a space just for assembling the set, since the pieces are so small they can easily get lost, so keep an eye on them. And finally, if you're thinking of giving this to a child, save yourself the trouble; it's not for that audience. It's for adults with this specific type of hobby. Make sure the person would actually enjoy this kind of thing, because otherwise, you'll just be wasting your money. It's not that there's anything wrong with the set, it's just that you need to know who will give it the importance and effort it deserves. But hey, it's spectacular, totally recommended. Read more
I'm really exited with this purchase! It's the third one I've got for my collection, and I can't wait to dive in and assemble it. The quality is top notch, and it's clear that a lot of love went into the design. Definitely a must-have for any enthusiast! Read more
I absolutely love the design of this brick set, it's gorgeous and fun to build. The bricks are tiny but the set comes with a special pair of tweezers that makes grabbing and inserting small pieces a breeze and avoids hurting fingers from constantly pushing the bricks in. I love that it has so many tiny pieces because I like to prolong the entertainment (it's so relaxing!) rather than have a set I can finish in a couple of hours, and it occupies less space than larger bricks. I would give this set 5 stars if not for the annoying problem of missing pieces. One of the missing pieces was a very large one and not replaceable by smaller ones of the same color (there were any extras for that color), and using a different color would ruin the design. I emailed the manufacturer through their website and after a lot of back and forth (they claimed to have mailed the piece but it must have gotten lost) I finally received it in the mail almost a month later. They were responsive and did send me the right piece, but it was irritating not to be able to work on the set for so long as it sat there unfinished. Towards the end I found more missing pieces and ended up replacing with a different color and rotated the set to avoid looking at the eyesore of the mismatch since I did not want to go through the process again. If not for that, it would be my favorite so far. Read more
EDIT: Got the missing piece sent to me via mail. Everything is perfect. Thanks. I enjoyed putting this together. The pieces are micro. The instructions are good. It did not take very long to put together. The larger base pieces are warped but usable. There are many extra pieces BUT missing one piece in the front that makes it annoying for me to look at. Emailed the company but have not heard anything back. Made the Eiffel Tower from the same company which was way harder to put together. Will probably complete the Paris theme with similar micro block products. (I will raise the ratings to 5 stars if the company will send me the missing piece...otherwise like I said it is annoying to look at) Read more
Knock off brand but still looks nice. Read more
It is just problematic and it isn’t what you expect. You have to individually find every single piece which makes it near to impossible. Instead of just having 1 bag for each set of steps you have to count out the piece and use the index to find the specific piece from 11 bags for each step. Bad product design. Read more
The product it’s self is great but the packaging was EXTREMELY damaged!! Not the Amazon box but the product box…it was beyond repair and embarrassing!! Read more
This little set was so much fun to put together and looks so cute when it's done. All you really need is a pair of tweezers and you're all set to build! I'm not sure how many pieces I lost while building this - but no worries, there were plenty of extras. Took away a star because some of the pieces do not click together well and some areas have pieces that are not stable at all. The other annoying thing is that the pieces come in a bunch of separate bags but you need to open all the bags for the correct pieces within the first couple of steps. I would recommend snagging some cheap plastic tackle boxes to sort your pieces before you start. You'll need a few though. Read more
