I love building all the places I've traveled to. So this was a treat. I do which we could get both side views when places pieces around something just to make sure positions are correct. But over great fun

1/3 done and enjoying it! Easy to follow directions. Building this prior to our upcoming trip to Paris. Process has made me even more excited about visiting the cathedral in person.

My wife and I are experienced builders, with a large variety of age 18+ sets. For us, this turned out to be an outstanding build, exceeding our expectations. The assembly was particularly satisfying and the intricate details of the model fascinating. The designer has done an excellent job translating the real cathedral into Lego. As far as cons, as noted in other reviews, much of the construction is necessarily repetitive (as you'd expect). But for us, the satisfaction far outweighed this unavoidable con. Despite the complexity and intricacy of this model, the instructions were clear and assembly was straight forward. One caution: avoid dropping pieces into the partially assembled building. Dropped pieces have a tendency to wedge themselves into the detailed interior (lots of pillars), forcing you to partly disassemble the building to retrieve (or even find) the dropped piece.

Wow, Incredible detail and very well put together, so impressive. Love it and recommend for all adults

This was a great build for me. It took three days for me. As a Senior it helps keep my mine sharp. The tiny pieces are great for working my fingers. Enjoy lego builds.

Everything was amazing and just how it should be with the set. The price was expensive, but it has a high price regardless of where I was to purchase it!

I would recommend that you build steps 289-294 directly onto the cathedral. I followed the directions and built it separately, then tried to attach it. I found it difficult to line it up and attach it snugly.

One of the best Lego sets I have ever built. It is visually stunning and will draw anyone's eyes to it when they pass by. Slow and steady is the best way to build this set do not rush enjoy the time it takes for completion. Also read the interesting historical facts in the booklet as you build. It makes the experience more organic. There are sod headache part especially at the beginning and yes some steps can be repetitive but stick with it, you will be glad that you did.

Cool architecture sets I have always loved them please keep making more interesting ones

Missing pieces, patience ran out on bag 7 with 13 total missing!! Walmart, in typical fashion makes all matters worse. Honestly, this was my first bad Lego set experience, but the bad Walmart experiences are becoming FAR too common.
