Great showpiece!

The build is not very difficult but it's very rewarding. The only drawback is the flimsy base and towers. This could have been engineered with more thought. Otherwise, once completed, it's a definite hit with those who see it on display.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from LEGOBy Keith, Customer Service, February 18, 2019
Hi there, thanks for your review of the LEGO® Taj Mahal. I'm sorry to hear that you found the base and towers to be a bit flimsy. We always test and retest our models to make sure that they’ll hold up when they’re built exactly as shown in the instructions. If something ever seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be, which can cause instability. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.com/Service.

Taj Mahal has design flaws
on February 6, 2019
Posted by: LegoEnthusiast27
While the piece is gorgeous and definitely demands a presence in any room you place it in, it has some flaws. My biggest complaint is that it is very very unstable. It is nearly impossible to move it from one room to another or one surface to another without it falling apart and crashing to the ground. The base pieces do not fit together well and have nothing to afix them to each other except the small black round pieces. Also, the weight of the center piece is too heavy for the base when carrying, causing the base to implode inwards. My second gripe is that building the Taj Mahal is a little boring because of its symmetry. You basically just build the same things over and over again. However, there is nothing that can be done about that, that is what the Taj Mahal looks like. The lack of transportability is the real problem. It does not live up to LEGO's high level of quality control and design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble keeping your Taj Mahal together. I know how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to build or move your creation and pieces fall off.
It's possible that somewhere in the building process, a piece was inserted in the wrong place.This will throw off how the pieces fit together and cause the problems you mentioned. The best advice is to take it apart and build it again. Make sure you pay close attention to every step in the building instructions and push the pieces together firmly for the best possible connection.
If rebuilding doesn’t help, or if you find out you need some pieces replaced because they aren’t snapping together tightly, please reach out to our LEGO experts at LEGO.com/service

My LEGO Taj Mahal Review 10256
on January 22, 2019
Posted by: LuckyLegoBuilder
I have always loved Legos and I had my eye on this set for a while and on my 13th birthday, I was surprised with it.
As one of the biggest Lego sets in the world, it is not easy to make with an average build time of about 18-23 hours (alone). As a frequent lego builder, I was surprised by the different styles and techniques (curved corners, curved dome, etc) used to build the set. It was a fun experience overall but you need lots of patience to build it because of how repetitive it is and how long the build time is. The finished product does not contain any play features. The set is more for aesthetics/a design element. Overall this was an amazing Lego set with a great build process.
Happy Building :)

Very fun and enjoyable build!

The 10256 Lego Taj Mahal is an incredible build. There is a lot of repetition, but it is needed. I love the details in the center of the set including the many archways. As shown in my pictures, this set is built in many sections and therefore is very maneuverable. This is a plus for me because I built movable shelves and like to change it up once in a while.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brilliant Building
on December 30, 2018
Posted by: Smiler1945
Bought this as a Christmas present for myself & it kept my wife & I quiet for 4 days (only a few hours a day) after Christmas. Looks amazing but didn't realise how big it would be...just need to find somewhere to display it now. Sooo happy with it despite the large number of very small pieces which my hands didn't cope with that well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I waited a long time to build this set and it was worth the weight. It is insanely intricate. It is a solid build and absolutely huge. I loved every minute of building it

For me it was way to easy I opened ever bag and dumped them on table to mix them up and still went together way to fast for me
