Nightmare before Christmas Wreath

We complete 1-2 Lego sets a week. This has been by far the worst set we have ever built. Every piece comes apart when you put the next piece in. The leaves and other greenery are so tightly packed in that you can’t maneuver around it. I do not recommend this set unless you value your sanity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. It's never fun trying to finish a set that isn't holding together as it should. We would be happy to troubleshoot the build with you. Please get in touch with us at LEGO.build/Service-BV. We're always here to help.
My initial impression of this item was underwhelming due to its compact size. Nevertheless, I needed a centerpiece for my small dining room table and opted for this Lego piece. It took an hour to assemble, and while the process was slightly cramped, the end result was satisfying. I appreciated the design and layout, prompting me to purchase another.
My son is almost 12 and pretty decent at building Lego sets. The set says 12 and up however this was a struggle. I never saw him more frustrated with something that is supposed to be fun. The pieces are way too delicate and barely stay in place even when fully snapped in. Any mistakes or fallen pieces cannot be put back without other parts falling off. Even with my help it still took a very long time to build most of it. Still not finished.

Having to rebuild your set multiple times must be frustrating. We're sorry to hear it's not staying together as it should. Please get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help.
Didn't realize this candle, represented on packaging with a glow, does not lite up. That's a bummer. If there is a lighting kit available as google says, it would be helpful to actually link to it from this page.
Just finished building this set. It’s very easy to follow along and build. Turned out Beautifully and will be a part of our Christmas decorations for the season.
I do wish that the Building instructions had a QR code for insider points…still was nice and fun to build.
This is a very pretty concept, but for a Lego build it did run short for me. I found it incredibly hard to keep greenery in place. Like others I found the candle too small and the flame to be ridiculous, I think a bigger candle, a much bigger flame and more secure greenery would have made this an excellent build. I would recommend to a friend with them knowing my thoughts though. Thank you Lego for the Christmas decor category!
I was one step away from throwing this in the garbage. My grandson helped me make some modifications but I'm still not happy with it. The leaves kept falling off no matter what we did. I have it on a shelf but will not be able to move it or it will fall apart. I might have to use super glue on it.

We understand how frustrating it can be when pieces aren't staying in place. However, you should never need to use super glue to keep your sets together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, please give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
