Spilay DIY Miniature Dollhouse Kit with Wooden Furniture,1:24 Scale Mini House with Dust Proof Cover & Music Box,Best Valentine's Day (M2132)

This one was so fun to make!! I must admit I changed it up a wee bit and made it a 1970's style home. Everything fit together great, no issues in that area. However; the directions are actually deplorable and hard to understand and follow. Maybe revamp the directions? Other than that it was great!!

Awesome dollhouse, it's making my wife really work lol

Loved my finished product Was difficult to understand instructions at first but eventually got the hang of it. Extremely tedious but gave a sense of accomplishment when I finally finished it. Wish the plexiglass cover was more sturdy.

Not for a new crafter but it was fun for someone who likes to craft dollhouses from a kit. For me the crafting is therapeutic so this was fun - the kit was complete and correct with standard supplies and directions.

just super cute ty

It seemed like the directions were changed and/or updated, but the pieces in the kit weren't. I've built a lot of these miniatures, but this one was the most inconsistent. I'd recommend the seller open it and try to build it and you will see what I'm talking about. The lights also didn't work no matter what I tried. Frustrating when you spend hours on something that pieces don't fit and lights don't work.

This is my 4th kit. I tried this one because I like how it looks, very modern. My other three kits are shops, so this is my first house and I was too excited to start working on it. I found this one very difficult compared to the other 3 I did. I had so many issues with it that my disappointment grew towards the end. 1. Yes, some missing pieces. But I was able to work around it. 2. The round corners! Why??? Because of that sone pieces did not fit well creating gaps all over the place. Once, the gap started it went down the hill from there. 3. The light switch box. There is no easy access to it. You will have to remove the covering from the back to turn it on & off. Music box is unnecessary, they could have just use that space to give access to light switch. 4. Instructions are so small, it's hard to find the correct pieces. Some if them doesn't make sense too. Gluing tiny pillows are pain in the ***! My tips if you are just starting on working on this project. 1. File the round corners to a sharp 45 degrees corner. Specially the ones connecting to the chimney. If you're a perfectionist, you might want to do it on the wall windows too. But the inserts will end up being smaller, and will create bigger gaps. 2. Be ready to change things around, specially for missing pieces. I have some extra pieces from previous kits that I used on this one. Some popsicle sticks too that I painted to fill in the gaps. 3. Music box is not that important. Or at least to me. I would trade and make the hole bigger to get access to the light switch. 4. Sew your pillows. 5. Separate the light wires as you go. Will save you so much time doing this ahead. Then I braided them so they are ready to organize. What I like about it. 1. It's 3 floors! But you want to make sure that the lower floors are complete and perfect to your liking. It's hard to go back if you missed something or made a mistake. 2. Has more light features including the lighted pool. I love it when all lit up. But gluing the wires and maneuvering through the chimney is very difficult. 3. The bathroom. It has sink, toilet and shower. 3. Not a lot if tiny details that you need to assemble. When I realized that I have missing pieces, I was hoping to return it and get a replacement. However, they only offer a refund.

I wavered on the number of stars to give this as I enjoy putting it together and it had a lot of good features, pleased with most of the results. But I think for most people it would be a big challenge. I do a lot a crafting and had to use things I had on hand, plus I added my own preferences.. I made paper flowers for the bead vases for instance. The pieces to this are very small and require a lot of concentration and attention to detail. I used a lot of sharp point rounded tooth picks to hold beads to make the vases and bottles. They wanted you to use the tiniest labels I have ever seen on the bottles. Tried 2 and when I showed my husband he couldn’t see them. There really is no reason to use them as everything is inside the building and hard to see. I ended up not attaching the 2 roofs as I did all the work on these small pieces and you can’t really see anything with the roofs on. The under water sections are cute but you can’t leave them unattached. You can barely see anything in the upper room. They want a number of things made using a white coated wire. Gluing that stuff was such a nightmare I didn’t use it for the underwater ladder or even some of the chairs, using round and flat toothpicks instead. Underwater I arranged it more the way I liked it and added some preserved elk horn moss between the rocks on the building. There wasn’t enough of the dried green flowers they provided to do everything. If you attempt this, you will get glue everywhere as the pieces are so small. But with a little bit of work you can remove most of it. The directions are in English with good photos but a few of the dimensions given are incorrect and I was missing a few tiny pieces. But I was able to make them using toothpicks and other materials I had. I enjoyed the creativity, even the challenge of how small it was to work with. For the fish, you can cut theirs out but I used some scrapbooking stickers of small fish I already had. Their colors were brighter and I didn’t have to glue them. If you have a machine to make stickers, I would suggest using it for the fish and birds you stick on the clear cover. I really like what I ended up with but for one thing, the dust cover. Gluing it was difficult, and there is no way you can do it without getting glue where you don’t want to. Even though I used a clear glue it dries less clear than I liked and you can see it in all the seams, and where I couldn’t remove it from near the seams where it slid. When done it’s attractive, very cute, and the lights make the entire thing. With all the wires I wasn’t able to put the wires and battery case into the back of the house but you can hide the wires for the most part.. I left the battery case on the table behind it. If you like working with very tiny things,( a magnifying glass came in handy) and you do other crafts, then I think you might enjoy working on this, just allow a week or 2.

Well designed and made, good value well packed. Instructions could be clearer

I love making these. They are always far more detailed than the brand name ones like rokr and rolife for instance. The instructions are always open to interpretation because of the translation to english but the brand name ones can be at times too. Either way i prefer these ones every time
