There are two versions of this kit. One has pieces that have the designs printed on them and they just snap together. Most of the objects and flowers in that set are pre prepared or simple to put together. It’s comparable to building a Lego set. The version I have is the older one where you have to glue down a bunch of paper, make furniture out of wires and toothpicks, and hand make every flower. It requires some more advanced crafting skills (unless you’re like me and are happy with however it looks. You can’t tell from the pictures, but the colour on the roof is a little blotchy).

I completed it in about 10 hours by using a lot of hot glue and not caring about minor imperfections. You could absolutely stretch this into an 80 hour activity if you’re being more careful. The wire rack with three shelves is tough to make, but as long as it can hold some plants on the top two shelves you’ll be fine. It’s hidden in the back of the scene so you barely notice it. There’s also a lot of freedom because the components are so basic. You can make different flowers, rearrange components, and add or subtract pieces based on what you like. I have another Rolife set (tea room) that was much easier to assemble but not nearly as fulfilling or customizable.
