Bought it as a project to do with my elderly mother, loved the simplicity of the instructions, the presentation of the package, the organization of the contents, etc. They thought of every little detail. Only thing I recommend is having a battery operated screwdriver if you are disabled and can't use the regular screw provided in the box.
It was easy to build and came fast. I am definitely going to get another one but a bird house next time
Our 13 year old loved building this and we can’t wait to put it in the yard!
Loved making this with my daughter.
We helped out 5 yr old put this together. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. All of the necessary nails and glue were included.
Unless you have a very independent 6 and under kiddo I highly recommend completely this with an adult. My kids and I enjoyed this however I had thought it was a little less complicated for them to do
This was a gift for my grandson, and although I have not seen it in person, I know he enjoyed building it with his father.
This project was actually very fun to put together for the Mother of our life for Mother’s Day. Very easy to make, with very clear instructions, and had it together in probably less than 15 minutes. With everything provided you won’t need to get anything, but your artistic side out once it comes to painting. Being we put this together as adults, I feel like ages 9+ could easily handle this project without issues. Except maybe the glue. I always question kids around sticky material, specifically the kids that can bind objects together. So my only complaint(s) would be as listed as: Price seems a bit high, because it’s not exactly high end material you’re working with. You can tell everything is bulk buys that were thrown together for a kit (Tools,Screws,Wood) the glue itself saves it tho, you get a large quantity, with enough to hold onto the extra for other projects you might have laying around. The wood, not the greatest but not balsa-wood terrible either. We had a couple pieces that were broken and glued together for repair. (Didn’t effect the build or finish, but the broken parts weren’t structural). But maybe that’s the reason for the repair and not replacing. Either way, it just worth a note. I will just leave it at that. Since we had no other issues or concerns.TL;DRperfect giftEasy project 9+ years old and up (Supervised for glue)Fits perfect, with a couple (non-functional?/ structural broken pieces (just scope out all pieces in the beginning)Bee’s will LOVE IT!
Loved it. Husband built the bug hotel together with my little girl. Just a great, well thought out project. She's 7, so younger than recommended age, but they did it together. End result looks beautiful. Hope it holds up well outdoors. She's been searching for beetles, ladybugs and roly-polies ever since!
Really nice quality materials and great outside activity for kids!
My 13 year old son loves. Building things and he loved these two kits.
It was easy to build in one day with my 3 year old daughter! Good quality. I only had to pre-drill a couple spots because I wanted to prevent splitting. I would buy again!
Easy to assemble with very clear instructions, the kit exceeded expectations and was a ton of fun to put together and customize. My 6 year old loved building it and now he checks it daily for any bugs that have moved in.
My nephew loved this as a gift/activity!
Great item and quick shipping. Instructions are thorough and the kit has everything you need. Looking forward to completing this project with my son!
I was expecting screws of course but this kit even comes with a screw driver and paint brushes! You can confidently buy this knowing you won't need to make a run to the craft store after
Nothing
We got this to give as a gift. It looks awesome! I might get one for myself.
Great item! Very fun to build. The quality of the materials was outstanding, and the directions were easy to follow. I am very pleased with this order.
Super cute item, everything is really high quality and even comes with a screwdriver! 10/10 recommend for a project with kids!
The materials are quality and it shipped really fast.
It’s a great kit! One of the pieces was drilled wrong but it was easy to just make your own holes.
Thank you it’s a gift for my nephew
