CAXIMSY Peach Blossom Pond Building Blocks Set,Building Blocks Set Gifts for Adults and Kids, Micro Bricks Cherry Blossom Tree House Kit with LED Light and Display Box（2500+Pieces）

TL;DR It's pretty and quite time-consuming in a good way, but some pieces don't fit great and the instructions aren't perfect. It is very good for the money. Pros: Very time-consuming. This took me around 4-6 hours to build. This is impressive considering the price. Comes with quite a few extra pieces, so you can modify other micro-block sets. Instructions are generally clear. Mine came with a spare LED module I can use on another set. Beautiful end result Cons: Some pieces don't fit right. Most of my 1x1 plates had the hole slightly offset so they had to be rotated to fit, and some of the pieces for the smaller palm-style trees were a bit loose. The tassels that get installed in the globes on the big tree had to be put in with a pair of pliers, as the globe pieces were very tight. It requires a bit of patience at times (step 2 tells you to install 175 pieces in a single step) Step 46 in the instructions is wrong as best as I can tell, you need to install a clear L piece with the gap facing towards the back-left of the drawing instead of the clear 2x2 depicted. Some of the assemblies, especially the smaller floating island, try to come apart when you install them. Would I buy this again knowing what I know now? Absolutely. It's an amazing deal given the cost, and was a great way to spend part of a weekend. I'm giving it 5 stars because I can't ask for anything more given the price. That said, it's probably not good for younger children.

Pieces were a little smaller than expected but I didn’t pay attention to the size descriptions. However, the picture instructions were easy to follow when you get the hang of it. Would advise to use a thumb tack or something with that small of a needle to help loosen parts to make corrections if needed.

Not for everyone. I just want to state first, that the pieces are not Lego sized 😂🤣 I made the mistake of not paying attention to the size when I bought it (it was so pretty, I just had to get it). It’s not a bad thing. I was just underprepared for how tiny the pieces would be. Don’t be me. Check out the size. Heads up to parents, this is not kiddo friendly to all ages. Also, don’t drop any pieces! lol they vanish and take forever to find. Overall opinion: It's absolutely gorgeous when completed. It was time consuming in a good way. It was relaxing sorting the pieces and putting it together. However, it was also frustrating at times. Some steps were difficult to understand due to poor direction (so many parts in one step), and even worse was how some of the parts were challenging to put together. The end product was worth the struggle though. Pros: - A complex build that you can spend time on. I believe it took me about 6-7ish hours to build (with breaks and tv watching in the background). - Comes with plenty of extra pieces. Mine also came with an extra light strip. - Instructions are for the most part understandable. - The clear display case with the set is a nice touch too. - Stunning end result that makes the build worth any of the hiccups no issue. - Very detailed for the size. It doesn’t take up as much space as I thought it would. - Excellent price for what you get. Cons: - I had quality issues with several of my pieces. Some just don't fit right; either too loose or the mold had a blemish that prevented it from being able to ‘click’ together. Like another person mentioned, the globes for the tassels & the temple topper were extremely tight and really hard to put on. Honestly after building this set my thumbs are sore 😅 - Instructions are clear but can be frustrating to follow. Just one step will have 100+ pieces on it. And it gets even more complicated when they have the layered steps. - Not super stable. Nothing is more annoying than when you’re trying to build something and it keeps falling apart. There are many steps that require patience simply due to the part your working on to be fall apart due to the assembly being unstable with the steps. It was also tricky putting the island onto the base piece with breaking off any of the plants or other small items. - Unlike most building kits this one does not have the bags numbered by the steps. So expect to end up opening all the bags at once and then sorting the pieces.

I do agree with everyone else that the island is unstable (especially because I feel like the 6 dot piece that it's balanced on is off by a couple squares), the Chinese lantern pieces didn't fit together, a couple pieces were deformed but there were replacements, and sometimes the plants wouldn't stay on. But I had all the pieces. I had a ton of extra pieces and backups for everything. It's literally ends up just as big and cooler than the legit $160 legos and took me longer to build. I want more of them. It was probably about 12 hours of entertainment. Putting the island on was very frustrating. Don't give to anyone who isn't willing to deal with frustration and willing to be somewhat creative. I think I ended up replacing the 6 dot block holding up the island with a like 4x6 or something to shift it forward 2 dots. At some point you get mad at the plants falling off and just throw them all on at the end. Trying to put the lights/river on caused the island to fall over at least 3 times and there's not really a good way around it. Maybe look at the light/river step that's towards the end to see if you can somewhat mitigate the issue in advance. Maybe do as much of the island river as you can before attaching the island to the rest of it. I also agree that the light string is long. Consider folding in half. Would not give to anyone under like 10.

Absolutely no instructions and most pieces came broken

It is a challenge but it is so cute to put together. Just have to be careful building it .

INFURIATING!!!! This set is so delicate and one wrong touch, the whole thing crumbles! I super glued a lot of it to make it more stable but when I got to the first light set, things went horribly wrong! I hate leaving bad reviews but this seriously pissed me off to no end and I’m not even going to finish it

It was fun to do… the only thing is I would recommend building the pavilion separately. Not attaching it until the end as it has only one point of contact. As I was pushing the block into place it would cause it to shift and come off

Excellent

Ok

First one I did was great. This second one however has a whole bag missing. Soooo frustrating as it’s taken me so long to get to this part. One whole level of garden pieces missing but you don’t know this until you get to that part. If I could send it back I would but I’ve had it over a month waiting to be made.

Bad instructions illustrations very poor meant for 14+ im over 60 tried to build twice

Perfect.
