Although this is a beautiful kit, it was the most difficult kit I've put together so far. I've built over 30 kits and the branches were extremely difficult to place in their holes. I found that they would pop out if I barely touched them once they were inserted. I think it's the close placement of the branches that caused this problem. I would not recommend this kit.
Bought this for my wife. She loves the botanical and christmas sets. The only issue she said she had was with putting in those little bushy pieces, but that was it. Overall she loved putting it together and how it looks. She now wants one for her office at work.
