TuKIIEDIY Miniature Dollhouse Kit, 1:24 Scale Wooden Mini Doll House Accessories with Furniture for Kids Teens Adults(Happy Times)

My daughter and her friend love putting it together. It’s fun and the detail is great

This was my first time doing a miniature project and I am very pleased with the results. I remember thinking when I first opened the package "wow, that's a lot smaller than I thought." I've since learned that you have to pay attention to SCALE, and being a 1:24 scale, this is smaller than the 1:12 scale found on most children's dollhouses. But this isn't really a children's dollhouse, this is a fun, puzzle-like challenge for anyone that has lots of free time on their hands. I'll admit, there were times when I felt a bit overwhelmed at the task, like making the tiny books, but I just kept plugging away at it. I found that for the most part the directions were easy enough to follow, although you have to apply common sense to some things. For example, the pillows they instruct you to glue, but after that didn't seem to work at all, even using fabric glue, I resorted to needle and thread which is what I should have used from the beginning because the glue I used showed through the fabric. I also totally missed the part about the clear acrylic piece being used to create the mesh basket, so I eliminated the basket altogether. Also I went ahead and glued all the furniture items at the beginning so I didn't risk losing any of the wood pieces. I worked on the project over a period of 8 weeks, and kept everything on a large tray so I could move it out of sight when I was working on it. I personalized it by changing up a few things, like the blue wallpaper which I changed to a red paper I had on hand to give it more contrast. I also changed the plants the little dog is watering as I didn't like how the taller plants blocked seeing the dog. If I had to do it over again I would have used a different glue on the flooring since the glossy paper they provide is non-porous causing it to buckle a bit. Luckily most of that is covered by the area rug. I also would have glued the chandelier before completing the house and the manner in which they have you wire the wall sconce could be improved. As a completed project it is super cute and the lighting feature makes it even more endearing as a night light. I also purchased the Christmas version which I look forward to completing for the holidays. I wish they made more versions in this series where it is a self-contained room with a roof.

I really enjoyed this kit and I look forward to displaying it at Christmas. It was my first time doing a miniature kit and my expectations were somewhat low after reading the reviews. But I was pleasantly surprised! The product quality was good and it was fun! So much so that I purchased a second one from this line and that's my next project.Some things of note:1. Parts and materials: there were a lot of reviews that said there were missing pieces. That was not my experience; however, I would suggest you take some time before getting started on your project to inventory everything in the kit. There is an instruction booklet in the box that details with images everything that should be included. Also in the box you should find a glossy paper with lots of images you will need to fussy cut out to complete the project (everything from the wallpaper and flooring to tiny decor items). Make sure you have that paper, and don't toss it. Also in the box should be a paper with cutting templates/patterns on it. This is key to cutting the fabrics and other construction materials to the correct dimensions. So make sure you have that and don't toss it.2. Tools and glue (or lack there of): There are no tools included, nor is there glue. I recommend you have the following items at hand: Tacky Glue (regular, quick grab or both), a strong double-sided tape adhesive such as Scor-tape or Redline tape, a small Phillips screwdriver (only needed to unscrew and rescrew the battery compartment), detail scissors (small and pointy), regular scissors, fabric scissors, a handful of toothpicks, a few bulldog clips in various sizes, a few straight pins, a craft knife with a fresh blade, a small cutting surface (like a self-healing mat), detail tweezers (a couple pair if you have them), small pieces of cardboard (to pour glue onto so that you can then pick it up with a toothpick to glue tiny elements together), scrap paper, small containers to corral beads and tiny things (I used lids from empty vitamin bottles, but any little vessel(s) would work), and a magnifying glass. Young, healthy eyes might get by without the magnifying glass, but my 55 year-old eyes found it helpful when working with the tiny printed images in the kit.3. Batteries: There are no batteries included and the product description mentions you need 2 AAA batteries. That is incorrect, and you'll quickly figure that out when you see the included battery compartment. I wasn't sure what type of battery was needed. I scoured the comments to see if anyone discussed it, and I didn't see the specific battery type mentioned. I finally took my trusty magnifying glass and looked at the lid of the battery compartment and could read that they are LR1130 AG10 batteries. It takes 2.4. No music: There is no music box element included in the kit. I didn't want it anyway. I believe you can purchase that separately. The space for it on the wall gets covered with furniture so you don't see it from inside the house.5. Scale: the scale seems a bit all over the place, but I don't mind. It's still charming. It seems to be a combo of 1:18 and 1:24 scale. The house possibly 1:18 and the furnishings 1:24-ish. The elements are pretty little, so don't expect 1:12 scale if that is what you are used to working in.6. Lighting: The wiring instructions are a little vague. Essentially, all gray wires are twisted tigether and wrapped in tape and all white wires are twisted together and wrapped with tape. From my own stash I added an additional string of tiny lights/fairy lights to my project's side exterior.7. Be patient and be creative. It took me the better part of a 4-day weekend to complete. And there were lots of fiddly bits, some of which could get a little frustrating. My advice is, if you are struggling to make something work, take a break from it and work on another part. Also try to think of different ways to make something work. If you don't like certain elements, it's your kit, omit them if you want. Replace them with something you have that you like better if you want. Use the different elements the way you want to. Change things up if you desire. There are no miniature kit gods who are going to tell you that you can't change something. Be the boss of the kit.8. Make it yours and have fun!

Great build but not for beginners. I definitely had to modify and embellish. I did not like the wires hanging out the back and it needed more plants. Worth it in the end.

This was my first time. Instructions were easy to follow. Great quality. I really enjoyed this project.

Overall it was OK. Super fun, it’s my first doll house I ever built. I kinda did my own thing with certain decorations. The foliage shed ALOT. I was missing the bottom plate of the hutch/cabinet so used the table top instead and made my own table with popsicle sticks. Also, after I had finished the couch I hated it, I made my own couch with foam with the provided fabric stencil to measure. The couch I made ended up being too big to fit the corner table with the lamp so I made a floor lamp. Some pieces are sooo tiny like the roses (repurposed with post-it note papers) and the gold fixtures you had to cut into 7ths (for knobs on the cabinet) were a pain in the booty. Curtains are tacky so I made some “bamboo” inspired ones with left over wrinkle paper. But I still finished it, not completely satisfied but it did what it was supposed to!! INSTRUCTIONS ARE VAGUE

I built a Miniature House last year and I got so much satisfaction and pleasure from it! Compliments galore.It is NOT a quick craft. And you don’t want it to be. I have now bought 14 more to give as gifts. They come with everything you need to decorate it with. Most fabrics are pre-cut. There are different levels/skills. So choose wisely for the youngest builders.

This was much simpler then I expected. It was such a fun project for me and my 10 year old to do together.

The quality was really good and it had clear and simple instructions. Overall it was hard for me to put together since I didn’t have the right glue ( I used a hot glue gun). But if your into arts and crafts or want to make this for fun then this product is great choice.

This was a lot of fun and easy to understand. The last one I worked on that wasn’t this brand, the instructions were complicated. This wasn’t and really lovely! Only downside, I couldn’t get the lights to work. I may have messed up, but some things were challenging to make.

It’s really good but I donot no how to make 😂😂

Lovely little room
