This was an absolute nightmare to build. Lots of little, tiny pieces and mini builds. Each time I put one mini build on, two others fell off. I got all the way up to bag 7 of 8 and could not get all the pieces to stay put. I took the whole thing, shoved it back in the box, taped it back up, and put it back on the shelf. I don't even want to build another Christmas set today. Might not even do one tomorrow. This was horrid. (BTW, I even had my husband have a go at it to see if it was just me, and he only lasted 10 minutes before giving up.)
When I saw this set launch, I immediately put it on my wishlist. It reminds me of decor my mom and so many had growing up - so when I saw it go on Black Friday sale I immediately bought! It’s such a cute and festive set, love it sitting on my table. The candle is so fun with the drippy top piece. The only switch is I wish the bottom/underneath part was green instead of blue. Because I went go put it on my mantle and you could see the blue showing. But it’s super cute on my table and love the set!
While building this I got all the way to the last step of bag 7 when everything from bags 2 and up started popping off and could not be put back on with out taking everything apart and starting over
I was excited to see some adult Christmas builds and ordered all of them. This is the first one I completed and I hope the others are better. This set seemed poorly designed- the plants were very difficult to place and it was nearly impossible to do so without knocking other parts off. The berries and white flowers randomly drop off, the bow is oddly placed and designed. The flame is ridiculously small and also falls off regularly. It would have been nicer with a large flame that actually lit up. This set was not as bad as the Advent Wreath which I could never get to stay together and got so tired of rebuilding that it now just stays in the box all year but all the very very small pieces that need to be placed in very very small areas are making a lot of the newer sets much less enjoyable to put together for us older folks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your set 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.build/Service-BV so we can help!
Like some of lego Christmas ideas. The wreath will out the candle I believe is to costly for its size and number of pieces. This one I purchased is fine
Although this is a beautiful kit, it was the most difficult kit I've put together so far. I've built over 30 kits and the branches were extremely difficult to place in their holes. I found that they would pop out if I barely touched them once they were inserted. I think it's the close placement of the branches that caused this problem. I would not recommend this kit.

I was excited about this build. But it was disappointing. It is obvious they wasn't much thought put into this. Recycling old parts from other kits were the focus when they designed it. And the flame is way too small! The bow was not at the proper angle. And I think it would have been better with a light. Don't waste your money on this build.
