Piece of Art
It's a great piece of lego, beautiful. The build was fun and relaxing. In my opinion it is worth the money.

1 of my pieces was machined improperly
I would absolutely love to give this product a 5 star in every category, however, one of my pieces from the set was machined as male on the side that it should have been female. This wouldn't have been a big deal if I had been able to continue the build, but this one mishap prevented me from building passed stage 1 out of 6 stages. I hope I can get a replacement set sen...

Great Set
An overall amazing set, I love the customization that offers. My only bit of criticism is that it is a little hard to switch the middle leafs.

Better than pick-a-brick Parts Supply
I bought this set for the TREE to upgrade the *pitiful tree on top the new Shire hillside. *should NOT have had to, BTW. This set was on sale at a box store, improving the value I'll admit. BUT LOOK AT ALL THE EXTRA PARTS ā„ Brown! 200 1x1 tiles - not getting dumped like dirt but carefully placed in the future I'm sure :) AND I ā„ frogs - offsetting a 1 star review I hope...

Looks great on any shelf
Not the most exciting build with lots of fiddly leaves and branches. Also a lot of the pieces are just scattered loose in the base.
But it really does look good on the shelf in any room. Bought more as a decoration than a fun build. Assumed I would keep it green but looks great in both colours so will change. Just difficult to know where to store the other set of branc...

Disappointed
Firstly, the instructions of this product are extremely hard to follow with very little guidance on where to place following bricks. While a lovely idea for a Lego piece, it keeps breaking and falling apart.

An interesting build
It was an easy build. The instructions were clear and concise if not a bit repetitive. It is great to have the interchangeable buds depending on preference. The loose pieces to mimic the soil can be easily lost.

Least favorite build
I bought this product back in November and since then its broken has broke nat least 4 times just sitting in one spot and I havenāt rebuilt it since. The top is too heavy for the base and its constantly making it break in half.

Love this set
Iām a bonsai admirer. I bought this set because I live in an area with a lot of Cherry Blossom trees and wanted to simulate that inside. This piece is very delicate, and, like other plants doesnāt like to be moved a lot. I have purchased another set for a friend.

You're barking up the right tree
WOW! Great build, take your time, make some tea, listen to something relaxing while you click. From the first brick to the last - this set looks great on display. No stickers! A great set for beginner bulders, creative florists, and those who might enjoy a little zen-like relaxation.

Too simple
This is the first set Iāve ever bought for myself so pretty much beginner level, only having done little bits here and there with the kids. Firstly very disappointed that a quarter of the brick count is simply small pieces that you pour into the plant pot. Absolutely no skill required so it only took me about 2 hours which for a beginner is no time at all. Someone more ...

Not worth money value
Stated to be a 800 piece set, but 200 pieces are thrown into the middles as ārocksā should not be $50 for the amount of pieces.

Loved IT!
This was honestly the first lego build in my entire 44 years of life on this planet and in this particular dimension. And, i loved every second of it. Being color blind it was hard to tell some of the browns and reds apart, but that is not a LEGO issue, that is a me issue. I had a lot of fun doing this. It was dare i say, ZEN like :) just really enjoyed putting this tog...

Great set but I do have a complaint
I got this set for my birthday and I was really excited to build it. I was originally wanting to do the green leaves by themselves for it to look more woodsy and natural but when I built it with just the green leaves it looked horrible compared to the picture on the box! I have a bunch of Lego sets and Iāve never had an issue with one except for this one. I really just ...

Extremely fragile do not recommend
The piece is beautiful, but after going to a certain point where you put all the leaves, it is extremely fragile and every time I try to put in the smallest pieces, the whole tree break apart I have given myself breaks, tried it over and over again it keeps breaking. Itās been almost a week that I have been trying to make the set but How fragile it is it seems kind of i...

After not doing any lego building since I was a kid when I saw this set I knew I had to give it a go. I forgot how fun lego can be.
