Flower Shop Building Set, Garden House Building Blocks Toy with LED Light, Building Blocks Architecture Set for Adults and Kids（1786 Pieces）

Love the finished product! But missing pieces, defective pieces, colors difficult to see
The end result is a 10/10. I love it! The details are so much fun, down to the books on the bookcase, the cash register, and the flower shops. This is a delightful little world to add to your displays of built kits. The lighting kit was a pleasant surprise. Each piece turns off or on with a twist. I think you would eventually have to replace the lights (they each have their own battery apparently) but it really does make the kit look nice. It was a relief not to have to deal with wiring and battery packs.The instructions are good for the most part, but there is a problem that cost me significant time – the blocks that form the brick sections are bright orange, light brown, and reddish brown. The blocks themselves are easy to distinguish. But for whatever reason, these colors do not match the instructions. The bright orange is very muted and looks like the other two. This makes it very difficult to figure out which pieces to use. The instructions even warn about this and include some sample tiles, but it would have made more since to use better colors in the printed instruction book. I had to undo and rebuild several sections once I realized I’d made a mistake.A few of the pieces are flimsy, like the cart and the canopy. The little trees on the stoop are duds. The sticks for the trunk are not wide enough to keep the treetop from pushing down, or keep from pushing the trunk into the pot. I used some balled up tape (and may use plasti-tack eventually) to give the trunks something to stick into to make the trees look like trees instead of bushes.What was very frustrating was the missing and incorrect pieces. There are very few extra pieces. For example, I needed a white 2×1 block towards the end and realized there were none left. I found a clear 2×1, which was weird because the instructions do not call for any clear pieces. I put this on a less noticeable area but it was still annoying. Worse though is the bench. The bench handle requires a single piece with a U-shape that you use to attach the bench handle. Instead, I have 2 smaller pieces with a straight attachment – exactly what you could snap into the U-shape. They gave me the opposite of what I needed. There is no way that I can attach the bench handle without the correct part so my bench is just a 1-handled one. (I did NOT lose the parts. I work kits and puzzles at a dedicated table with a tile floor and constantly check my clothes and the floor for dropped pieces.)Some of the pieces are total duds and are too loose and won’t snap into place. Especially the decorative grates. These each wound up snapping in the middle when attached, not enough to break entirely but enough to make a discolored ridge.It took me a few hours of work over the course of weekends for about a month to complete the kit. I enjoyed it a lot at first but by the end was frustrated with the missing pieces. I’d recommend it anyway because of the price point and end result, but note this would not be for children unless supervised by an adult.

It lights up!!!!!!
Yes, so I didn’t realize when I ordered it, that it would light up. And now I’m super excited. My wife is going to put it together, since it’s more her style of Lego, but it’s awesome looking and I might just have to buy more.

Fun and challenging set – nice end result
I can’t really justify the name brand sets anymore as a set like this would be around $170 likely. These are pretty much every bit as fun to build and less than half the price. I enjoyed building this and it looks cute on my shelf. It took quite awhile. Unfortunatly I can only work on things like this a half hour here and there, so it took me a long time. I use ziploc bags and puzzle sorting trays so I don’t lose pieces in between times.Very slight overcount on small pieces. Like similar block sets, similar colors can be a struggle. Try to match the colors using unique pieces before you start. This one has a guide for the colors.
