the yellow line piece placement markers are hard to follow. the model is unstable. as J tried to add the next piece previous ones would fall off. when trying to reattach them something else would fall off.
Like many people, I have not written a review before. This build has been a frustrating nightmare. Between steps 7 and 8, I gave up. Many pieces would not stay put. Additionally, the set says 2024, but there is no QR code on the instructions and the set has a copyright date inside of 2017, which would explain the lack of QR code. I finished 2 of the poinsettias and they were a dream build. I have built many sets and this is the first one I am flat-out abandoning. Unbelievably frustrating.
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
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!
Might just be me but I thought the candle might have actually turned on. It doesn't and nothing actually says it does but still wish it could. Looks easy enough to modify though. The building itself was very fun and I had a fun time with that.
The build was a good and pretty intricate one. The primary reason that I left a mediocre review is because of the size. I expected this candle to be bigger and could be used as a centerpiece on a dining room table. It’s not that big. It is very nice looking and the build was fun but the size is a bit disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy, Fun build. A little tricky keeping some pieces in when starting to layer all the green.
