City Tea House

Pros: 1. Well made. Pieces fit easily and pull apart fairly easily, with included tool; fit is perfect, not too tight nor too loose. Weight and thickness of pieces are perfect. Similar quality to Lego, but in mini scale. 2. No missing parts. Lots of spare parts. 3. Organized into about 14 separate bags, which made building in sections easy. 4. Instructions were very good, similar to Lego. Excellent graphic details, down to the tiny sticker details! Easy to follow. 5. Stickers printed very clearly, in detail, and are very pretty. The transparent edges and background elevates the look. Stickiness is perfect and seems permanent. Unlikely to come off or fade easily. 6. Overall design is 10/10! A sturdy build that is aesthetically very pretty and impressively detailed. Beautiful color palate. Great puzzle challenge for the OCD, detail-oriented person to enjoy. Tips: 1. Work in sections and open each numbered bag as you go along, not all at once. 2. Use a solid-colored, medium to large, edged tray for the working pieces and as a working station. Work on an even, firm surface; so that you don't accidentally bump or flip your tray, causing your mini bricks to go flying off everywhere! 3. Separate pieces by color, and then by shape, with each opened bag. Pay attention to the different color tones; very easy to mix up. 4. Note: an already built part is grayed out in the instructions, so don't get confused. 5. Use bright lighting and tweezers to apply the stickers. Once the sticker touches the surface, it tends to stick steadfast and repositioning is unlikely without risk of tearing; so, aim well. Aim at one edge, press to stick placement going from edge to edge, before gently lifting the cover plastic. For long pieces, like brick walls, stick from center, then slowly outwards; or stick one edge and move slowly in sections toward the other edge. Be careful not to cause bunching in the middle, or gradual misalignment. Try to align the top/bottom edges of the stickers for the windows so that they align with each other for a more professional look; otherwise, one sticker panel might be higher than the other when the windows are side by side. Learn to let go of your sticker-placing mistakes. Focus on your accomplishments. Lol :) 6. If you find that you have trouble fitting in the next parts, or that your building cannot close properly, or parts seem uneven --> check to see whether you misplaced the previous bricks built around that area into the wrong spot, or if the previous bricks were not snapped in all the way. 7. It's a good idea to look over each section carefully to spot for errors before moving on to the next section --> correct part, color, position? It is harder to correct later, with more parts already in place. Cons: (not really any) 1. I wish there was a way for me to reposition some of the stickers. ...must let gooo.... lol 2. I wish there were a lot more sets like this available. Perhaps themes with elves, fairies, Studio Ghibli, etc. I can't wait to build the next set! :)

I built this with my 7 year old and 9 year old kids and was mostly appropriate for their ages. The pieces are smaller than Lego brand building blocks but not as small as the microblocks. The only part my 7 year old needed help with was some of the smaller stickers and finding a few smaller pieces in our bucket , but everything else, including instructions was fairly clear and easy to follow. Its a bit smaller completed than I expected but still ok for us, especially if displayed. Definitely recommended and will be looking at their other sets! Very very cute and looks exactly like the pictures!

Omg! Love this mini city building set, the Panda Tea House! It’s not the regular Lego size but mini. So cute! The best tip I got was to separate the colors first, because there were many different shades of some colors. It took me about a week but it was really fun. The design and construction is so solid I’d think a construction artist designed this house. It’s detail from round and curved edges to shingles and aprons is nice. The stickers are like tattoos where you press on and slowly peel off. The instructions are clear, the steps are easy to follow, and the 13 separated packages made the whole process easy. NO missing pieces, even had extras. Every piece added drove the anticipation higher to see the end results. Four pandas made it even cuter! This is one of the most organized set. I only had one qualm and it’s when you want to fold the house, the top front design where the little panda and the round fan collides with the corner gray shingles making it impossible to fold cleanly unless you pop off the design with the panda and round fan. All in all it’s awesome! Tip for the detailed people, let the adult or very careful teenager to add the stickers, might be hard for the under teen age because of the sticker type. Happy building!

Well I did not realize how tiny it is, haha and after I looked at booklet inside, I decided to have grandson put it together! He enjoyed that and then I get to set it someplace. Worked out good, I like anything cats, and this is so cute! My grandson got it made in a evening, so it's not a fast project to make. As for sturdyness, it like any Lego build, you got to be careful with it. I do not think age on there is correct, should be older, my grandson is 15,and like I said, took awhile to make, pieces very tiny. But he enjoyed putting together for me. Very cute it be...

My 7 year old loves these kits. I almost sent it back thinking she couldn't do it because the pieces are so small. But she can! She loves it. Hours of building fun! Very nice set.

These sets are awesome and great for the price! I love them!!!

My kid loves it and had fun putting it together

For granddaughter. She's happy with it !

Les instructions sont claires. Ce n’est pas facile pour les enfants. Il y avait des pièces de plus et aucune manquante. Bien du plaisir et un beau résultat. Ce n’est toutefois pas fait pour être déconstruit, car certaines pièces nécessitent d’installer des autocollants sur plus d’une pièce. Ce qui l’a rend indémontrable.

This set was challenging but at the same time very rewarding. I love the look of it complete. Great addition to my collection. I’ve been obsessed with these mini block sets. They are great for anyone who has a hard time concentrating on one thing. I usually put mine together while watching a show in the background. I’m someone who always needs to be fidgeting. Doing these have offered s reward to my fidgeting. Looks great and aren’t overly expensive like other full size block companies out there 😉. Highly recommend this to any collector or someone who likes to fidget when bored.

Loved everything about this build- cute, good instructions, lots of tiny details that are really nice. I love that it’s so tiny- hardly bigger than a pop can when it’s done!

This product is cute. My daughter loved it when it was completed but took about a day and a half to complete. There are SO many small pieces. I will say, she didn't love the fact that she couldn't use original Lego pieces with this.

Smaller than Lego friends. Nevertheless, very cute set. So much detail and lots of extra pieces . Reasonable price. Our kids love it.
