Piece of Art
It's a great piece of lego, beautiful. The build was fun and relaxing. In my opinion it is worth the money.

1 of my pieces was machined improperly
I would absolutely love to give this product a 5 star in every category, however, one of my pieces from the set was machined as male on the side that it should have been female. This wouldn't have been a big deal if I had been able to continue the build, but this one mishap prevented me from building passed stage 1 out of 6 stages. I hope I can get a replacement set sen...

Loved IT!
This was honestly the first lego build in my entire 44 years of life on this planet and in this particular dimension. And, i loved every second of it. Being color blind it was hard to tell some of the browns and reds apart, but that is not a LEGO issue, that is a me issue. I had a lot of fun doing this. It was dare i say, ZEN like :) just really enjoyed putting this tog...

Lovely appearance but....
Over the last few months i've built up a collection of the botanicals, I've enjoyed building and love the colours. I chose to build the bonsai in pink (splash of colour) initially and it took me about 2 hrs.
Firstly, it looks great, but .....
- the build is a bit repetitive (9 identical foliage groups)
- the instructions of how to attach the foliage groups (groups of 3...

Great set but I do have a complaint
I got this set for my birthday and I was really excited to build it. I was originally wanting to do the green leaves by themselves for it to look more woodsy and natural but when I built it with just the green leaves it looked horrible compared to the picture on the box! I have a bunch of Lego sets and I’ve never had an issue with one except for this one. I really just ...

Extremely fragile do not recommend
The piece is beautiful, but after going to a certain point where you put all the leaves, it is extremely fragile and every time I try to put in the smallest pieces, the whole tree break apart I have given myself breaks, tried it over and over again it keeps breaking. It’s been almost a week that I have been trying to make the set but How fragile it is it seems kind of i...

The one who brought me back
After not doing any lego building since I was a kid when I saw this set I knew I had to give it a go. I forgot how fun lego can be.

Bonsai Tree
This was my first serious lego set - I have build a few with my son but they were much smaller. This peace was tough to build as the base part of the tree can be complicated to maneuver as you are completing the upper section but do not let that deter you - this is a beautiful set. i have added this to my office space and i have received several comments already. If you...

Extremely difficult and upsetting :(
I got this set to match with the "lucky bamboo" set. I loved the frogs for the pink leaves and I was extremely excited. To build it, this excitement was short lived. The base was easy and then you get to the tree, the trunk sits on a hinged base that popped apart every time you touch something. The instructions are muddy and you can't tell which pieces to use. It comes ...

A Little Disappointed
All in all, it was an okay build. I had heard it was a somewhat difficult build and found it pretty simple, completing in a couple of hours. The other disappointment I had was how bare it was only putting on the branches they recommended. I installed more on the side clips, now it's full. It was fun, but not near as difficult as I was hoping.

Decent Lego set
It was my first Lego, I was excited to build it, everything was great except the dark brown colors but it's still the MOST SENSITIVE Lego I've ever built and I've built a lot of Lego ever since, it comes apart so easy so keep that in mind

Infuriating
Building the blossom branches was the most infuriating thing ever, the instructions were horrific at that step and I genuinely considered throwing it in the bin but I eventually finished the set

Frogs
I wanted to just bring this to everyone's attention that the cherry blossoms version should be called the pink frog tree. I am upset that they used frogs in this when they have a mold for buds. I absolutely hate frogs. I wish they had something else. Also I thought the piece would be more time consuming based on the amount of pieces, but 200 of those are just used as lo...

Modern Classic
Exactly what the title says. This set caught on so quickly for good reason. Building it is fun, there are parts that that are unique and inspiring (like the shield pieces used to slant the tree or the soil pieces being loose), and it looks simple but elegant as a decoration. Shoutouts to Nick Vas not only for this specific design but for all of the other models he made ...

Fragile but looks nice
Building this took me way longer than it needed to mainly due to how fragile the design is. After getting close to the end multiple times, the trunk would fall apart and it would set me back another 10 minutes. However, after finally finishing it, I am very happy with the way it looks.
