Fall into Wonder

I started my journey with Rolife branded kits so I always find my way back to them after venturing out into other manufacturers. The reason is, they have a great variety. This particular build wasn’t quite a 5 star for me for a VERY fee nitpicky reasons: 1-I can’t stand the burrs (the place where the pieces connected to the wood sheets) are inverted now into the pieces and you can’t sand them flat. 2-The switch for the lights is a mushroom. It is very fragile and doesn’t seem practical to me. 3-They changed Alice’s facial expression. And 4- Rolife’s wood pieces seemed to have changed to me with this build. Even using a tool (exacto/craft knife), removing the pieces from the boards was splintering the wood. Overall, the finished product is incredible so I give it 4 out of 5 ⭐️.

This was my first Rolife build and I can understand now why people are such fans of that brand. The pieces were so cleanly printed and cut, the accessories were easy to use, the instructions were pretty clear, and the lighting power is USB-C! Finally. I had one big moment of frustration at Step 7 where you assemble the chess board and thought there was suddenly a disconnect in the quality because I had to glue the chess pieces into the thin little board piece and that seemed like a failure to me. Then I discovered AT THE END OF THE BUILD that I totally missed the actual wood piece that little chess board design is supposed to go on top of. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So even the one moment of frustration was actually completely unnecessary. Great kit, fun build process, and I love how the rabbit ends up hidden under the mirror. The whole design is amazing top to bottom.
