Rolife DIY Miniature House Kit Alice's Tea Store, Tiny House Kit for Adults to Build, Mini House Making Kit with Furniture, Halloween/Christmas Decorations/Gifts for Family Friends (Alice's Tea Store)

This was so easy to put together and turned out super cute. I connected it to a different magic shop build so that there would be enough space to display all of my adorable magical tinies.

This was my first miniature build and it was fun! It was very overwhelming at first and took a while to get the hang of it, but don’t let it scare you away! I even attempted the lighting and unfortunately missed a step so I couldn’t get it to work, but I was proud of myself for actually getting the wires attached and working in the first step! Looking forward to building another just to get it lit. I think the directions were pretty well done, but could have been even better- more explanation or pictures- but they are pretty good for all of the fine detail. Looking at the assembly progression photos really helped me put it all together. I needed to use my fine point craft scissors for this one, and my needle nose pliers and definitely my hot glue gun for some of the parts, so be prepared for that. This thing is so cute and fits perfectly on any shelf or mantel! I’m excited to display mine and show everyone all the tiny little things I built! I’d say the hardest part was getting the wires to bend in the correct ways- my table, chairs, and barstools all came out super wonky because of the wire not bending just right. I guess that’s the difference between a beginner and a professional! But I’m definitely a beginner and thought this whole thing was very doable. Just takes a lot of time and patience. It probably took my 15 ish hours maybe?? That’s a total guess. Anyway, such a fun project!! Worth the work!

For a person who is not crafty, I have really enjoyed my time putting this little bookstore together. The materials are of good quality. I think my model will be as cute as how it is pictured. At first, I found the directions a little difficult, but then I caught on. This isn’t like legos where they show you every little step to make so it can be a little tricky. The glue kind of sucks. I recommend getting your own glue or squeezing small amounts at a time onto something like a paper plate and using a toothpick to more precisely place the glue. I also recommend a magnifying glass. This isn’t something you will put together in a day so have a box you can place it into in between days if you don’t want/can’t have it out indefinitely. I found upholstering the chair to be the most difficult part. Otherwise, smooth sailing (besides minor frustrations). Also, don’t think that bottom part it says to paint is the only thing you will be using the paint for. There are also walls to paint.

It's a lot of fun. Very detailed. Unfortunately, I did have a part that was warped, and difficult to glue together to another piece. I came up with my own idea as to how to make it work. Other than that, all the prices were there. Well packed. Instructions were easy to follow. Definitely for other kids, like it says 14 and up. Brought another kind, same company.

This was absolutely a total blast to build! I did make a couple mistakes but it was really easy to fix. You do need to be firm but gentle when seating parts together as some pieces are fragile. For example the White Rabbit's ears. I almost broke them as I was applying pressure to slot him in place when I heard some cracking and immediately stopped and used his feet to press down. Thankfully nothing snapped and everything looks so cute!

I am a huge fan of these guys and I'm noticing that every set will have it's pros and cons. Though this set is worth the purchase, some obstacles I came across with this set were: the glue, instructions and some of the structure. The instructions were a bit confusing for me as some of the visuals would show different products or show products that look the same. I notice that when you put A and B together, the instructions showing how to put C and D together to connect to A & B, the picture of A and B is gone. Hope that makes sense! I advise to use a hot glue gun or your own glue as the glue included in the set made me feel sick once some fell on my skin. (They do have a warning about it being on the skin but how can you really avoid that? :) ) The structure was another problem. You REALLY need a cutter or something sharp to remove the wooden pieces or else it can crack and/or break in half. Even chip! Don't push too hard, these pieces are somewhat fragile. Aside from all of this, it was a successful build and I will keep buying from them because I love them and there sets are awesome sauce!

This is my fourth kit, I’m doing the flower shop and other than a kit that I modified I’d say this one is the most involved. There is a lot of wire furniture and flowers, both are very detailed and I realized I’m not a fan of trying to make things out of wire. But after it is all done I do think it will be very cute especially because the more pieces and more to look at really makes them fun to look at.

I seldom give review under 3 stars, but this time … Well, the product itself is cute and delicate. I give 3 stars for that. It was a gift for my mother. 1) The package arrived broken. It was so embarrassing for a gift with broken package. Fortunately, it was for my mother, not for someone else. She's okay with that as long as nothing is broken inside. 2) The light is not working. My father doubted it might be something wrong with the circuit board. He used to be an electrician. So, he made a new connection to power and added one more Light bulb as additional light source. 3) The acrylic display case dust cover (bundle with this toy) doesn’t fit very well. When I push one side down, the other side will tilt up. We spent an hour try to adjust the angle, switch sides … didn’t work. At the end, my father cut off the notch a little bit to make it more fit. But still not perfectly fit. You can see the gap on top and the door is easy to fall out.

I've done other kits like this, and compared to those, this kit is not great. The paper components are printed on a home-quality printer. Even the paper that goes on as flooring is this low quality print job. Also the instructions are very hard to understand, and in some cases do not show necessary steps, so you have to guess how to do it. Also the paint is very thin and you can't get the right colour no matter how many coats you do. I did six coats of green and then gave up.

Très bien. Il s’agit d’un produit de la marque Rolife. C’est mon premier modèle à coller. J’aurais peut-être dû choisir un modèle plus facile, mais celui-ci est si beau! Il faut beaucoup de concentration mais le produit est de grande qualité.

Eu amei. É muito bem feito mas e requer paciência e delicadeza para destacar as peças do molde. A instalação elétrica usa 2 pilhas e é bem fácil de fazer. O manual é bem detalhado e não deixa dúvidas.

Carl’s fruit shop is definitely not for those new to Rolife, or miniature house kits. With almost 20 pages of directions to complete the build, including gluing the stems on about 80 beads to act as fruit, It can sometimes be difficult to understand the instructions as most will show a single angle photo with the phrase “glue as shown”. The glue can leave lumps when putting on the flooring or decorative paper as it’s quite thick but, also takes awhile to fully dry and even then remains flexible which can be frustrating for some of the super small details that require you to hold them in place until fully dry. I highly recommend buying super glue or a fast drying glue to save you some time and hassle as well as a glue stick for the paper bits. Don’t go into this with the idea you’ll make an exact perfect model sometimes these small pieces break and you have to wing it. All in all it’s a cute model that makes for a good project to focus on for a week or two :).

J'ai essayé d'autres style de maisons miniatures avant celui-ci et je trouvais la fabrication extrêmement longue et complexe. Par contre ce modèle de Rolife est absolument génial! La qualité des pièces est incomparable et le manuel d'instruction est clair et facile à suivre. J'ai monté ce modèle en quelques heures à peine, comparativement aux autres qui sont restés inachevés par manque de temps. Le prix est un peu plus élevé mais ça vaut franchement la peine, pour la qualité du produit. Je le recommande sans hésiter!
