It's not worth the money, it's always coming apart. It's not well designed, it's not strong. You can buy better with your money. It's not worth the money or time to build it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your Eiffel tower set together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting or if you find that any specific pieces aren't staying put like they should, please reach out at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help.
Overall, this set is a great set to get if you are looking to get something to impress others. It sits quite tall, and is a jawdropper for sure. The price is quite high for a set like this, and I feel like the tiny parts that you don't really see contributes to the high price. The build does get quite a bit tedious and repetitive, and I found myself lacking motivation to finish the build. Once I finished, I sat the build in our living room next to the little town I have built and I have to say, they did a fantastic job designing this. It is fragile, so be careful moving it!
The base was a bit finicky to get settled. The build as a whole is solid. Multiple steps need to be duplicated dozens of times which was fine for me. Really beautiful when complete!
I’m a Francophile and totally enjoying my (lit!) ET while watching the Olympics!! It’s an amazing showstopper (I do recommend a light kit!) if you can find a corner to put it in. Build is repetitive but worth it.
My grandson is getting this for Christmas as he loves all your architecture sets, He has all that we could get. Has been getting Lego for 23 years. Best product ever and he has over 335 sets.
honestly this was an extremely fun set. every person who says that the design is faulted is probably bad at Legos as I am 16 and had no problems what so ever. I did have 1 missing piece, but if you think about it 1/10,000 is pretty good. it is a very advanced and repetitive set so new builders shouldn't build it also take it apart into section when you move it as it is heavy
There was no fun in building this. Many repetitive steps, since the four quadrants are identical. Every piece is grey. It looks impressive at the end, but the point of Legos is to have fun and that comes in building it. Like a puzzle, I enjoy piecing them together more than I do viewing the finished product.
I’ve had was to many pieces missing that I’ve had to order. And some parts are literally impossible to fit. Step 541 literally does not fit into the piece I’ve tried for over and hour in every which way and it’s just too big of a hassle for the money! SO SAVE YOURS AND DONT BUT IT!!!!!!!!!!

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!
