The final product was beautiful -- but it was much more difficult to put together, and much more time consuming than we had expected. The mortar was difficult to use and my daughter made great use of her hot glue gun. Also, the drawings which served as the instructions were difficult to interpret. We love the final product -- but is was more challenging than expected - I cannot imagine an 8 year old doing this project without a great deal of frustration.
