Funwhole Wood-Cabin Building Blocks with LED Lights – Construction Building Model Set 2097 PCS for Teen and Adults with LED Lighting Kit

A great quality item.
Well organized parts in numbered bags for each section. Very detailed build instructions with colour drawings. Be patient, the lights and wiring have very tiny plugs, I had to use a magnifying glass to connect them. The build took about 10 hours, done over five days. Looks awesome. Lots of fun for two people.

So fun!
This was so much fun to build. The lighting part was a bit tricky to get it to stay where it was needed at first. Good quality pieces and easy to follow instructions.

Beautiful Set, Poor Design and Frustrating Build Experience
Alright, let’s get the pros out of the way quickly so we can get to the issues that need to be ironed out.1. Beautiful set. It looks amazing fully built even without the light feature.2. Cheap. Very good value for money, a LEGO brand set like this would easily go over 200$ and that wouldn’t include the led lights.3. The lights. In a set this cheap to come with them is kinda mindblowing.Now for the meat of the review.1. Poor quality bricks. Not the material per se as they are sturdy, but the quality control for the brick dimensions is basically non existent. They simply do not fit well together at all and have a way too tight fit which means the pieces get pushed out when you place other pieces, which in turn means sections of the build tend to get loose or fall apart. All of which results in a frustrating building experience. This should be the no.1 priority for improving future products.2. Amateurish building design. While most of the build is of sound design, some segments of the set would never get past QA at LEGO as the building steps either don’t make sense in the order presented or the section of the build is extremely flimsy and very hard to put together/don’t hold well together. This again sours the building experience and can lead to some very frustrating moments.3. The lighting system is poorly designed. I didn’t encounter any issues with any of the wired elements, the problems start appearing when dealing with the contacts between floors and the roof windows. You basically have plates with pins underneath that are meant to make contact with another plate with copper discs on top to transfer the electric current to the next floor. Problem is, that would require the build to be very precise and straight, and as you may have guessed from issue no.1, this is not the case for this set. Making contact between the different sections requires quite a bit of pressure because the pieces simply don’t fit well together and the whole build is… well, crooked, wavy, not straight. I went nearly mad trying to fix the issue so here’s a tip, add a few layers of aluminum foil to the pins under the top plate until contact becomes easier.4. Ages 8+. Are you insane? I’m 37 and got seriously annoyed with this thing and I don’t give up easy. I can’t even imagine a child building some of the sections and even less dealing with the delicate electrical elements. For dedicated teens and over.5. The decals. While I appreciated not having stickers in the set and I understand that prints are expensive and would raise the price of the set, the decals are very easy to mess up and there are only one of each. An extra sheet for some do-overs would be appreciated as I messed up with half a dozen of them.

Look Out LEGO
High quality parts, fun to assemble and LED lights what more is there to say other than the cabin looks cozy. Nice getaway Christmas theme. This company if it develops a niche could give LEGO some needed competition as those prices continue to change. This piece is worth the money and will not disappoint.
