Rolife Sam's Study is a very interesting miniature dollhouse kit, full of books (deu lol) Today I'm going to review this kit from Robotime, as I did for this one: Cathy's Flower House and Miller's garden. But this time it's this one: Sams Study. It is also known as the "DIY miniature model kit Harper's Library", as I found out. But first: Sam's study instructions PDF Before we go further: I know have uploaded the manual of this Robotime DIY house English instructions, in a PDF file, as this is a frequently asked question! Download it here. Robotime Sam's Study kit: an overview of the Product. Product Name: Miniature dollhouse kit called 'Sam's Study' Place(s) To Buy: Amazon , AliExpress, or straight from Robotime Owners: Robotime aka Rolife Warranty: 30-day refund or replacement Product Overview : Robotime DIY Miniature Dollhouse Kits: DG102-Sam's Study with LED Light, Tools, and Instructions in English. Included are many miniatures, photos, and frames, bookshelves and books (lots and lots of those !), chairs, a ladder, etc. Including all necessary tools (see content). The English instructions show you how the construct the miniature kit step by step. Expected time to assemble: 20 hours. For anyone who likes crafting, dollhouses, miniatures, AND books. (have you seen the other amazing trend as well: book nooks?) I changed the red chair to a blue fabric, because the red fabric got covered in glue! Content : - wood, paper, metal, cloth: 500 pieces - English manual - tweezer - 2 kinds of glue. Tip: I have been told that, if you run out of glue, or the glue is missing, you can buy the exact same one on Amazon. - a brush - the pieces are already painted (you can repaint them) - 2 batteries, led lights - sandpaper - measurements : 18,5 x 22,5 x 19 cm - weight: 954 gr - scale: 1/24 - Average time to build: 20 hours (depends on the individual) You still need a crafting knife and for that, I would definitely recommend a 'fingertip crafting knife' from Fiskars, I'm so happy to have bought it, it's much handier than your usual crafting knife! Another Tip: Have spare electric wires (1mm) and heat shrinkable tubes available, because trust me: you will break a lot of them, especially in the beginning. And another tip! : To glue the wires together in a quick way, without having to use superglue, I found out the hard way that it's better to use 'fast grab tacky glue' so that you don't have the issue of gluing your fingers together! DIY miniature house Sam's Study- A personal review with pros and cons. The Good And The Bad : - It is very challenging but rewarding! (no real struggles though ) - if you love reading books, this can be so pretty next to your real books - pretty design - good quality - besides small scissors and a ruler, you really don't need any other materials than the ones provided by the kitUPDATE: there are people worldwide missing glue and batteries - non-toxic (keep away from kids under three years old though, as those very small parts can be easily swallowed !) - NO MISSING PIECES (YEAY!), not like in the other kit I made a review from Cathy's Flowerhouse. - It could be too challenging for some people (there are lots and lots of books there !) - the instruction manual could be less confusing and more detailed (that's a common thing about Robotime, so it seems) - I had a very hard time fitting all the books together on the shelves, so that was a bit irritating, but in the end, I did it :-) - putting together the red chair was a challenge, but managed it also. Some people leave it out, cause they can't seem to make it. Do you think you could? Tell me please when you have done it or not ;-) - I have read reviews where people said that the base and the building do not fit together well, cause the base isn't measured correctly. Mine fits well, but maybe yours could be an issue? In general, I just loved this kit, 5 stars would be perfect, but that is a score that I have never given any miniature kit, so I'm giving this one an 'almost perfect' 4 and a half stars.
