Flever Dollhouse Miniature DIY House Kit Creative Room with Furniture and Cover for Romantic Valentine's Gift(Happy Corner)

I have been doing miniatures all my life and have to say that this is probably one of my favorite mini projects of all time. The one I completed is Happy Corner and I actually purchased it from Banggood before I found these on Amazon. I loved it so much that I ordered these too. The one I received from China had glue and batteries. Since I haven't actually opened the ones from Amazon yet, I don't know what is included but the packages are identical to the Banggood one. I must point out though that this description on Amazon says plainly that batteries and glue are not included. The attention to detail in these kits is extraordinary, especially at this price point. The components are very tiny and I believe you would be happier with them if you have some previous experience building miniatures in this scale. The plants and vines in this particular kit were the most time consuming for me. To make life easier, you will need sharp scissors, an x-acto knife, and tweezers - I used several different tweezers. Here are some things I learned: 1) I made a color copy before I began, of the pieces that are to be cut out. This saved me when I dropped my stash of cutouts and misplaced 2 of the tiny signs. I had something I could replace them with. 2) when you remove the parts from the kit, place each of the various pieces in small plastic containers, i,e, beads, wood pieces, etc, all separate. It is amazing how difficult it can be to find those pieces among all the other things otherwise 3) Glues-I didn't use the glue in the kit. To adhere the backgrounds to the tin, I used tape runners. All liquid glue seems to dry with some bubbles. For the wiring that goes around the top of the tin - I experimented with what would hold the LED wires and the best I found for that was E-6000. For most of the other parts I used Aleene's Tacky (and my super hint) a drop of CA Glue. This acts as a clamp for hard to hold items while the white glue dries. I also used some Molto-Mini Glue but found it gummed up my tweezers and made it difficult to pick up small parts without constantly cleaning them. THE MOST IMPORTANT HINT- YouTube has videos of all of these kits but they aren't all named the same as the kits. The one for this particular kit is named "Create a miniature cafe house" and I found it quite by accident. It has no audio but if you follow it closely, it is the single most important tool you will have. It would be very difficult to do this otherwise since the instructions are in Chinese and though the pictures in the book are good, they are small. And one other hint that you may know but I didn't (and it isn't explained), the batteries go into the holder with the flat shiny side up. Wrap all of the grey wires together and all of the white wires securely together. Use a tiny piece of electrical or other strong tape to hold the wires together or they will just pull apart again. I used bits of greenery to cover the exposed wires. Sorry for the long post but hope this helps someone. As you may be able to see from the pictures, mine is not identical to theirs but it is easy to make your own small modifications.UPDATE: I have opened the kits from Amazon and it is true that they do not contain batteries. This is a bit odd since the ones I received from China did. That being said, however, the batteries are cheap and I wouldn't let the lack of them keep me from buying these precious kits.

This is an extremely adorable miniature. I actually had already ordered it from a Chinese vendor, but was too impatient to wait for it to arrive, so I ordered this Flever one because this Amazon vendor offered Same Day shipping for Prime Members. Other than the fact that it is amazingly tiny, my only real difficulty is that this particular one does NOT come with the 3 required watch batteries, nor do the instruction tell you what sort of batteries you need. After asking around, I believe they use LR44 batteries.This is a Cuteroom kit, labeled as such on the box. Here's a Amazon link to the same kit: https://www.amazon.com/Cuteroom-Dollhouse-Miniature-Handmade-Birthday/dp/B073F6TQ6C/ If you are more patient than I was, it is probably a better deal to order a version that DOES include the batteries. I don't understand what they mean about not being allowed to ship batteries, because clearly different versions of these kits do include them. Since I don't want to wire this up until I can test to make sure the lights work, I won't be able to finish it until the batteries arrive. I'll update this review if the batteries turn out to be wrong. By the way, I've been advised that batteries must be placed in the correct orientation. Otherwise, they become very hot and the lights won't work. Looks as if they need to be placed upside down, but be sure to take care with this.On the plus side, my kit arrived the same day I ordered it, and the box is in pristine condition. The instruction manual is full color, with English instructions translated by someone who doesn't understand English very well, but very nicely done and easy to follow the color photos.This is my first of these sorts of kits, and I did feel a bit overwhelmed at first. I think after this, going to a 1:24 scale DIY dollhouse will seem much easier. To put this together, you'll need glue, needle point tweezers, sharp paper scissors, a metric ruler, wire cutters, and good light. I like to keep all my pieces contained in their bags, on a cookie tray, or on a plate, so they don't get lost. Did I mention the pieces are tiny! For example, to make one vase with flowers, you need a teensy tiny clear bead, a tiny sprig of fake plant, and three teensy little red balls. You may want to use a magnifying glass. But oh, so adorable!How long will this kit take? Well, I'm about 5-6 hours into it now, and I estimate that I'm probably 2/3 to 3/4 finished now. But I'm not trying to rush. I really am enjoying cutting these tiny pieces of paper and fabric, and figuring out how to glue them into place. The quality and fit of the parts is excellent. It really is a well designed and attractive little miniature and very satisfying to make.

I love the detail and set up of this. Haven’t had time to put it together. Pieces are small, directions are detailed , but I can’t wait to get it together

Bought the sakura one before and love it so much that I bought this winter one this time. Everything was included inside the box. Nothing was missing or damaged. The tin box is so elegant and lovely. It needs patience to make this miniature cause everthing is so tiny. May not be suitable for young kids ...

Great for beginners.I like customizing and putting my own spin on these kits. I thought some of the props and colors were too bright and crowded so I didn’t include everything that came in the kit. I also had issues with the lighting and had the get creative covering the light switch hole but I still love the end result.
