Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to assemble this even without any DIY experience?
The set is rated Level 3 out of 5, which means it’s suitable for casual hobbyists. You’ll assemble the 279 pieces using illustrated instructions in German and English, and there’s also an assembly video. Plan on spending two to five hours on it.
Do I need to buy any tools or adhesive?
No. The tools and adhesive are included in the set, so you can get started right after unpacking it. You don't need to buy anything beforehand.
How big is the finished diorama?
When assembled, it measures about 18 x 11 x 23 cm, with the longest side being 23 cm. This means it fits on a standard bookshelf between the books. In photos, scenes like this usually look bigger than they actually are.

Is this the right gift for my mom?
This set is recommended for ages 12 and up. It's designed for moms who appreciate aesthetics, tranquility, and small details, and who make a point of taking time for themselves. Those who don't enjoy crafts probably won't get much out of it.
