Definitely worth it!
The media could not be loaded. So cute! Very tedious and unfortunately the glue is used caused some off gas and made the plastic a little foggy. The miniature is so much cuter than I expected! And love the music box.

Not easy but awesome outcome!
This is not easy, but the product is great.Yes you need to have glue on hand, I used regular craft glue, not Elmers. It took me a good four days from start to finish. The sushi is incredibly small and you need to be good at fine motor skills. The lighting part was very easy, don't sweat that. I want to buy another one I enjoyed it so much! It doesn't say to do this but I glued everything down at the end. Everything is so small so any movements will send things flying. So sushi trays, chairs etc I glued it all down.I hope this helps, don't buy this product if...-you have poor fine motor skills (ie, using tweezers to make things)-don't want to invest a significant amount of time-have difficulty following IKEA directions to put things together-you are very unorganizedBuy it if...- you love tiny things- have patience- enjoy the process- good at putting things togetherDo not blame the manufacturer for what it is, a DIY project that YOU have put together.

So much fun even with the few minor frustrations!
This is the first time I’ve assembled anything like this - was way more fun and less tedious than I thought it would be! I’m very happy with the finished product and plan to look for another kit now.The pros:1) love all the details, even though a lot of it ends up being somewhat hidden - I know it’s there and that makes it special!2) took less time than I thought to assemble. I’d say it took about 20 hours.The cons:1) everything was kinda shoved carelessly in the box when I opened it. Some of the printed paper was bent and/or wrinkled, and the tissue paper for the doors was completely mangled. I managed to use the printed paper ok, but had to sub out the tissue paper with some I had leftover from wrapping Christmas gifts.2) a few of the wooden pieces were warped which resulted in a few parts being out of skew after gluing. This made it challenging to assemble parts of the structure.3) there was no glue included although the parts list indicated 2 types were included. I ended up using both E6000 and a glue stick for paper crafting. Use your own scissors-the included one is garbage.4) instructions could be more clear on a few of the steps, and pictures for steps could be larger for some, but was still able to figure it out without too much trouble. Made a huge mistake assembling the walls of the structure to the base due to this, and had to disassemble and redo it once I realized my mistake - this resulted in the paper tearing on some of the parts and left the outside base of the structure looking horrible. Easily remedied that with some left over roof pieces glued to the base on one side and the back, however, so it turned out ok luckily!!I ended up making a few minor changes (user fewer magazines on the rack since it didn’t like how cluttered it looked, didn’t use the tiny rocks nor the moss since I preferred a cleaner look). Had a blast with this little project though and I’d definitely buy more from this company!

Here's a hint for the ceiling lights
Do you see those detachable wooden pieces (I forgot the codename) that are used to make the geta (wooden sandals)? Use the spares and glue a pair on each side where the light will be and one in the middle just a bit in the front, like in the picture. This will leave some space for the light cord and you can glue the lamp perfectly.Talking about it, I find really helpful that most pieces, especially the sushi ones, come with spare items. However, everything is made from scratch: you have to cut, glue, and craft every single tiny piece. I suggest using a tweezer because those are really tiny. Also, some strong wood glue will come in handy for the building structure

Great fun for a miniature dollhouse hobbyist
This is probably my favorite kit that I’ve ever assembled. The vending machine alone is so cute and realistic that I just couldn’t not buy it. Instructions were in English and easy to follow, with lots of pictures and all materials were present and intact. A few of the Larger wooden pieces were a tiny bit warped, but in all the kits I’ve assembled I’ve never seen one without any warped pieces. I used tacky glue, super glue, and alcohol glue to complete this one. Lighting was easy to set up. All of them were working. I’d recommend getting some electrical tape rather than using the sticker included to connect the lighting to battery pack. It’s just my preference. So darn cute and I’d definitely recommend it as a gift for crafty people who love cute things. Probably took me somewhere in the realm of 20 hrs to assemble over a few days, which for someone who likes to do these things means great bang for your buck. Buy it.

My favorite miniature kit so far
This is the third miniature kit I've finished and my favorite one so far. My son picked it out and I wasn't sure I was going to like it but it was so much fun! Cutting out and folding the tiny juice boxes was crazy, but my kit came with some small scissors and tweezers that made it easier. It has a lot of fun little details, I love it.

Not for the faint of heart
I enjoyed building this very much, but there are some pros and cons:Pros: if you like models, are fairly handy this set is fun.It looks just like the photos when you finish.If you need a short project for a family this is great.Cons: there are no English directions, but the photos are super detailed and easy to followEverything, and I mean everything in the photos needs to be made. If you aren’t into making 50 pieces of 1cm sushi this won’t work for youIt’s not snap out, not punch out, not even decals. All the emblems, signs, labels, leaves all need to be cut out precisely.Tips: get good quick dry craft glue, get a small pair of very sharp scissors, and tweezers. Take your time this will take a couple of days
