Absolutely incredible!

Wow! This set is mind-blowingly awesome. While the build is repetitive in parts and may be tricky to display for many given its size, the final product is truly impressive. I recommend this set for LEGO fans that can build it over a couple of weeks and have a place to display it once built. It's my new favorite!
Of course it's repeatative but it is worth the time. It is fantastic when complete. Lego I just wanted to tell you the details are amazing and so is the sheer size. But wish you would have recognized that the arches are poorly constructed they are constantly falling off, might go back in and glue bc that's how many times I've reattached. Other than that an the lack of scale on the base (there are no trees under the effiel tower in real life) this is a beautiful build.
Great set, but for this price I should not be getting wrong pieces multiple times. So far, bag 9 and 41 have issues, a scannable Mario tile instead of a dark tan plate with 2 studs and a 1x3 dark gray plate instead of a 1x2 dark gray plate with a bar on each side, respectively. LEGO's quality control is slipping.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've seen a lot of reviews of this set mention that the build is repetitive. To a certain extent that is true, however the results are well worth the - frankly minor - tedium. The fine details of every small section of this set make it a true work of art. And once it's complete it's a display piece like no lego set I've ever seen (and I have many, MANY sets displayed). This set is truly on a completely new level when it comes to Lego set construction and the size of the result. Buy one, build it, and then marvel in wonder at its unparalleled size and intricacy.
The LEGO designers have outdone themselves with this one - it simply must be seen to be believed. I’ve built many large sets, from the Titanic and Colosseum to the Star Destroyer, but the Eiffel Tower takes the cake - just an amazing set. It’s so big it almost takes on a life of its own, so to say it’s a great display piece is an understatement. The build is a tad repetitive, but less so than Colosseum (or at least this one feels more engaging). Only complaint is with the arches, as they are prone to slipping/coming loose from (too few) connections. But that’s a very minor point. If you only buy one LEGO set - and you’ve got the room - buy this one.
The build was challenging but there was a lot of redundancy as you moved through levels. The finished product was impressive once completed. It dwarfs the loop Coaster.
I purchased this set recently to make it a showpiece in our home office. It was an absolute blast to build, however I do have to say it can be a bit tedious. One of the first layers on the second level had you placing 144 of the round “button” pieces. Tedious…but it does look great!
I do have to say I am disappointed in the construction. The cross pieces in the legs do not connect to the other legs which leaves noticeable gaps, and seems structurally deficient. While it does look great, close up viewing leaves one wishing it had been designed better.
The base with the trees and lights is awesome. Great design on that part. All-in-all I rated it higher because it is a great value and a nice center piece for the office…just don’t look at it too closely.
