The Piano parlour kit was an absolute delight to build. It was my very first time building one of these and it was so enjoyable. When you finish it and the lights come on, it's just amazing. Will definitely be purchasing another kit in the future. Thank you.
Looks beautiful. My first one so took my time. Was a relaxing and fun creative activity.
OK, doing the project wasn’t very bad except I had problem with your instruction sheet because it was black and black with blue dotted lines and seem to have problems going where I thought the product would go. I had a problem with your Pfc sent me the with the PF sheet file That didn’t help very much either of what I found is there is a young lady by mama fox studio that does some of your products and she does a pretty good broadcast of how to put your products together I would recommend that you give her some of your products and let her do some videos for you
Most of this went very well - the little gold coffee packets were more than tricky so I did my own version. Also originally stuck the two cupboards on the wrong end so had to peel them off so I could access the hole for the wires - a reminder in the instructions would have been helpful. The other tricky part was the hanging sign getting the chains to hang evenly. The connecting wires on the battery were not identified as black or red so that was trial and error. These small things apart this was a lovely little kit to complete and it turned out beautifully- especially pleased with the plant and the little coffee pot.
This is beautiful and so much fun to build. Thank you Tiny Craft!
Very speedy delivery and the Aegean Alley is exactly as described. Lots of lovely items to make up for the authentic looking decor. Instructions good although I thought the lighting section could be a little clearer. Still quite a lot to finish but I’m enjoying the process and not in a hurry.
I had a wonderful time building this kit. I think that some of the pieces could have snapped together easier, but on the whole I had a wonderful time and I love the finished piece!
It was an immensely satisfying experience to build this beautiful spring conservatory. The lights have two levels, on first tap the lights go to full brightness and if you tap and hold, they dim slightly. All the flowers took the longest as they were glued together - I used superglue to speed things up.
We loved it
Took us a couple of days to put together but the grandkids love it
Love it.. wasn’t sure I was ready for the intermediate, but it was so fun and turned out so cute!
So much fun to make … I added more books I had left over from the Harry Potter library. One can never have too many books! What is better than having fascinating tiny little libraries tucked in amongst your books!!
I am enjoying this very much, kind of obsessed with it actually. It is challenging for my first one, but I made a good choice!
I really love it but some instructions are not too clear and I will have to use a magnifier glass to see how the picture looks so I could put certain pieces the right way.
I really enjoyed it, but one very important note...this was around the first TinyCraft kit that I've done, and the instructions to this kit were VERY challenging to understand. On many of the diagrams, it wasn't clear at all where the pieces should go. So a lot of guessing was involved, which complicated the build for pieces that followed. The instructions on the kits are usually very clear, but this one made the build much harder than it needed to be.
This was my first Tinycraft project and I’m hooked!! It was so lovely to make instructions were easy to follow and very fast delivery to UK. I have now bought another 2 since then and just started another.
Loved building this and the final result is so much more beautiful than I expected. I just ordered my next kit and can't wait to start building. I didn't realize I had jumped into building an advanced level on my very first build, but it turned out great and just took a bit more time than expected - which was fine with me. I contacted customer service with a question and they responded same day - great support!
It is so cute to see the house growing. I just want to built hours and hours. I am lucky to have a great table so I can leave the stuff on it. Tomorrow I'll start with the second floor. 🥳
Everything fits. It is so much fun to make it. It is difficult for me to stop and do other things. I wish i can do this every day.
It’s very tiny. I was going to do a session a day through advent. Having got it I’ve started now 😂
El resultado es precioso, queda espectacular. En cuanto al montaje también me ha resultado bastante fácil, quitando alguna indicación sin importancia y que yo por tener solo vista en un ojo, se me ha medio complicado un poco más. Estoy a la espera de que me confirmen si la caja de música venía en todos los pedidos o no, pues a mí no me venía. Igualmente encantada con el resultado 🪴💚💚
The package arrived in time for my daughter's birthday, and she was thrilled. She could not resist putting it together immediately!
I loved building it with all its tiny pieces which were well made. The problem I have is the lights. They worked when I tested them a few times but once they went into the house they didn’t but that’s Sod’s Law 😜 The house looks great though and would definitely buy something from them again
Fun to do even though one of the paintings was missing and the tape didn't hold the wires down.
Fun build! I feel like the roofing material could have been a bit stronger and easier to work with but overall very good quality.
Excellent project. Great Halloween decoration!
Not sure why the instruction book is for a differentt name but assume that it is the same build
Love it
I’m very happy with your product, the only problem was that I didn’t get enough clear glue. I had to purchase more separately but it’s not like your glue strong and clear. That was the only issue I had. Still working on my mini glass villa. Enjoying every minute of it.
This was my first miniature and it was so much fun. Would definitely do it again
Very fun to put together. Materials are good quality with the exception of the power board. Power board didn't work when plugged in and you have to touch it for it to turn on. They did send a replacement but it did the same thing. So what I did was cut a hole in the base so I can be able to touch the power board for it to turn on.
This is my third tiny house craft I have done and really enjoyed it.
Great fun not too difficult
I have just finished making. It is the first one I’ve ever made, I really enjoyed making it. The instructions are very clear and well made. I want to make another one now, it was very addictive. One disappointment for me is that there is no cover for the battery box.
Love love love this one! Super easy to do and relaxing!
We absolutely love this we plan on doing a Christmas collection for a Christmas display
Loved this kit! So much fun!! All the pieces were there, instructions were easy to follow! Quality was great!!
I’m really enjoying the way everything comes together. It’s so detailed so far. The experience has been really good. I will definitely be purchasing from you again thank you.
My first Tiny Craft. It took several hours over a few days and very enjoyable it was too! Great little hobby. I liked that everything that you needed was included, even down to the little file! Perfect as a gift (or maybe a suggestion of a gift for yourself)? Next one already ordered!
