CUTEBEE Dollhouse Miniature House Kit with Furniture, DIY Wooden Dollhouse Tiny House Building Set for Adults and Teens, Creative Room Decor Gift for Family and Friends (Japanese Garden House)

The media could not be loaded. Much more involved than a typical snap together booknook. I love making book nooks but the fun is often over too quickly and was looking for something a bit more involved. This thing is not too much bigger than my hand and is crammed full of tiny objects - some that have to be assembled from even tinier objects. For example, there’s a sauté pan with lid, smaller than a fingernail that you make by cutting out a tiny disk for the base, a strip to glue around it for the sides, a clear plastic lid, a ring to frame the lid, glueing it all together with a little bent wire for the pan handle and a 2mm bead for the lid handle. I think that alone took me 30mins-1 hr to make!Instructions are not bad - photo of alternate angles may have helped with some steps. Be sure to check all the items to confirm you have everything and to familiarize yourself with the pieces. You’ll need the right tools to assemble this kit - scalpel style knife, magnifier, tweezers, ruler. I found the most difficult things to work with was the fake grass (couldn’t get the template to stick or cut through it correctly) and the gold wire (used for the faucets - the gold kept flaking off).No glue was provided with the kit - luckily I had some left over from a completed booknook.Otherwise, the results were really rewarding. Beautiful piece that provides a really strong sense of accomplishment.Update: tried to switch the power source to usb 6V (this takes 2 x 3V coin batteries) and burnt out the leds - so don’t do what I did! Tempted to rebuy and build again because it is so pretty lit up.

These things are so much fun to put together! My daughter and I are on our second (this one) and I will suggest if this is your choice for a first timer, wait, and do a Nook Book first. This house is TINY! As said in the description, but we really didn’t realize how tiny. The intricacies of all the small bits were a challenge. We only got 1/3 of the way done in 6 hours. But again, it really is fun. You need a steady hand, a sharp exacto knife, and good glue. Try to avoid the thin, but get med glue for these projects, and the extra tips. The thin doesn’t work well with the fabrics. Oh. And a couple pairs of good thin tipped tweezers. Since the lighting is usually assembled prior to the end, make sure you get the appropriate batteries before getting started. All in all, highly recommend any of these diy tiny projects. Might be a bit difficult for just one person, so maybe think of a pal. After this one we have another 2 to put together. Can’t wait!!

This is my first miniature. It is quite small and the details are amazing! The directions are clear and easy to follow. I am really enjoying the process.I have only finished the first floor and upstairs bathroom, but I wanted to give everyone an idea of the size.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Previously, I assembled a wooden model by CUTEBEE and thoroughly enjoyed it. The quality and finish of this model surpassed others I had put together, so when I noticed another Japanese-themed model from CUTEBEE, I decided to buy it. That was a big mistake!The CUTEBEE Dollhouse Miniature House Kit turned out to be a disaster. The first kit I received was clearly a return and had missing parts. I ordered a second kit and sent the first one back to Amazon, only to receive another returned model missing essential components. They restock returned items and attempt to sell them as new, unopened kits without checking that all necessary items are included. In the second kit, the entire kitchen set was missing. Moreover, you have to build everything yourself with poorly written instructions. Everything needs glue, which is not provided in the kit. You receive scraps of material and must cut and glue the pieces together yourself. The instructions are badly written, and the diagrams and photos are not very helpful. For instance, when instructed to thread the lamp line through the structure, the instructions say, "Fold it according to dimensions and twist it to fried dough twist."The parts are not properly labeled and are simply tossed together in plastic bags.I am unsure why this model kit has received such high reviews, but I would definitely advise against wasting your money on it. It is very poorly designed.

This was the first time I’ve ever done anything like this before! The instructions are very easy to understand. The house itself and the pieces are incredibly small so it’s very tedious but so rewarding! I messed up the lights from the very beginning so in the pic I’m missing the lantern in the front left corner but that’s ok it still lights up and looks great!! I can’t wait to do another one

Very nice. Very Very...... Very tiny builds. Good luck

i love how pretty it came out but I didn't have the batteries it required on hand. so I had to wait for them to arrive I still went ahead and made the house assuming the lights would work. got all done just to find out the lights do not work at all. very disappointing to find out after all that work.
