Honestly, this has been the only difficult build I've ever done. However, it was still a great build ! I enjoyed spending my time on it. It is displayed to the left of my monitor and it brings me joy
This is the worst Lego set I have ever purchased. I thought it would be a quick and relaxing little build with 336 pieces, but mine was actually missing pieces (the gold flowers that decorate the base, so mine looks ridiculous) and it's so frustrating how flimsy this is and how confusing the directions were for me. I've built much more complicated sets, but this one felt like a nightmare. Every time I tried to add anything to the tree, something else would fall off, and it felt like the base pieces never quite snapped together all the way. I wound up throwing the whole thing back into its box when I was only halfway up the tree because it was so frustrating. I guess I'll try to complete it another day and find flowers from some of my other sets to complete it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! It's disappointing when your build isn’t going as planned. Make sure there isn't a bag still stuck in the box. If not, we're happy to help. Please give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV, so we can get the parts you need requested!
One finished the money tree is a great Lego set to display. I did find it tedious to build the tree. Lots of repetitive instructions and the pieces didn’t go together easily. You have to really work to get some of the pieces together. I like it now that’s it’s all been build but if I had to build it again I wouldn’t do it.
Quick build that gets a little tricky when adding the foliage but it's cute and only took about 15-20 minutes. Looks really good displayed next to the Bonsai Tree.
I absolutely loved building this! The structure is also very sturdy which is an absolute plus. Everything fit together well, no flimsy parts and it took about 1 hour to finish everything.
