Perfect if you don’t need “real” Lego
My 9 year old had tons of fun building this, at a fraction of the cost of Lego-brand. Great quality, lots of cool pieces. Plus it has LED lights!

Pretty good
I just recently started building with Lego and knockoff Lego sets. This set looks very much like Lego and I love the style (the cafe), but the quality is noticeably different.1. The pieces don’t fit together as easily. I’m comparing to another brand new set of Legos that I had just recent built with, and these things HURT. The Cafe is 3 sections. I built 1 and 2 the same day, but waited until the next day to build the 3rd section because my thumbs and forefinger were so sore from pressing pieces together in order to make them stay. And some pieces, no matter how I tried, they wouldn’t fit just right (decorative trim would pop off). I find that they need to be placed on each other just right or they won’t go.2. The build is not Lego quality. By that I mean: I’d build a whole side of a wall where there would be a “seam” down the middle. Lego would have staggered pieces like actual bricks so there would have been more strength. With these, a whole wall would be held together by the top trim only.3. Stability. I recently built a Lego house, the floor consisted of several smaller plates that were held together with many pieces to keep them together and sturdy. This set held 4 floor plates together using only one round piece on top of them. I had to be very careful while building not to crush the floor apart while trying to squeeze wall pieces together. This isn’t the kind of set your kids can play house with after you build it…4. The order of the build was a little strange to me. I’d complete one whole side of the building and then start the process again on the other, identical side. Made more sense to me to build them at the same time. Or I’d complete the room and then need to squeeze a flower base into a corner that would have been much easier to do before putting the table into the middle, etc.With that in mind, I still like the look of this set, and appreciate that it came with a lot of different pieces I don’t already have. I’ll reuse some of them in a design of my own, but I’ll combine them with actual Lego pieces to save my fingers and thumbs!Overall a good set for the price, but be prepared to put in more effort to get the build done.

Cute little build, great price
This is a cute little project at a great price. I love Lego and this is definitely a knock off brand but the reviews compared them to Lego sets that are 4x the price. I bought it because of my love of building tiny houses and pretty Lego sets but some of the Lego sets are crazy expensive and I needed a project to keep my busy.The instructions read differently which took me a minute to learn how to read and the blocks don’t come packaged the same but I knew going into it that at the much lower price it wasn’t going to be the same thing.What I thought was funny is the box says for ages 6 and up. Yes there are a few 6yr olds who enjoy puzzles and would love it, I would have been one of them but I can’t imagine many kids that age would have the patience to put it together.If you approach it as a puzzle and understand it isn’t a Lego set it’s actually a cute and fun little project. Will it sit as a display like some of my more intricate build sets? Probably not but my older grandkids will enjoy playing with it once it’s done.
