[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was younger, I played with Lego blocks all of the time. My partner bought me the bonsai as a birthday present. Building it brought back so many fun memories, and made me feel like a big kid. As spring and warmer weather arrives, I will change the green foliage over to the blossoms. Overall, I thought this was a fun set to build.

I'm sure the pieces themselves are intact and this will be a great Lego build, but the box I received was badly damaged. It looks like someone stepped on it or tried to fold it in half. The shipping box it was in was fine, so it was shipped like this. Was going to be a gift, but I'm not so sure now.

Just Stunning a Master Piece..!!! Brilliantly designed it (!!!!!) Worthy the wait for re stocking! I bought in store by shocking surprised it! It was second re stocking since launching it in this Lego store? The nice register lady said only one left, the box had small damaged it! I said I careless give it to me! Can I buy it..!!! Loved it!!! Thanks Lego!

This is my second lego set ever and I was on the fence about it but REALLY wanted the pink frogs. Like, desperately. I at first decided I’d make the green leaves only then keep the flowers and frogs for something else, but I felt like it wasn’t as full as I’d like when it was done. Then I had an idea to make it look like a Sakura tree mid bloom and it really livened it up. I really appreciate how they went the extra mile with the stand. It could have easily just been the pot and tree but having the slatted platform gives it that extra oomph. The same goes for the gems that are used for the rocks in the pot. I may have made it wrong, but there’s a bit of back and forth motion on the tree trunk that made it feel a little unstable when moving. As I said in another review, I adore the botanical collection and hope it becomes a mainstay.

I got this set for Mother's Day and love it. We had a large wildfire that destroyed much of our community. Many of the trees that survived have since been slowly dying from the heat exposure. This little set has given me something colorful and fun to look at in the place of the bad memories.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get my own Lego set instead of a kids set. This set didn’t disappoint. The instructions are easy to follow and the parts are separated in numbered bags. I love that you can either have a green leave bonsai or pink flowers. I chose pink but it will be simple to change it to green when I want. This set took me about 2 hours to construct with interruptions. I do help put Lego together regularly with my kids so I have experience. And the best thing yet, the tool this set comes with to separate pieces put together incorrectly is a life saver. First set I’ve ever had it come with. I will be buying more of these adult sets. This tree looks so pretty on my dresser.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for myself! I am a 43 year old grandmother and thought this was the coolest lego set considering I loved playing with legos as a kid and LOVE bonsai trees. Hours of fun and a great conversation piece when everyone finds out it is legos!

This is an attractive item, and I don't mind the frogs (though I did just order a bunch more of the little pink flowers to switch some out). My only issue was the instructions. It's really hard to see brown bricks on brown bricks and took way too much effort to figure it out.

Building this took me way longer than it needed to mainly due to how fragile the design is. After getting close to the end multiple times, the trunk would fall apart and it would set me back another 10 minutes. However, after finally finishing it, I am very happy with the way it looks.

I have completed many sets and this set, BY FAR, has the worst set of instructions! Brown on brown pieces, green on green pieces with NO outlines to help you discern placement. I took the instructions to get sunlight and even used the flashlight on my phone. Neither helped very much. If you try this, look at the instructions for the pink foliage first if you decide on going with the green. There are absolutely NO instructions on placing the green foliage. I had to look at the pink ones to get a "hint". POOR POOR instructions. This set is touted to be peaceful and relaxing. The instructions did NOT prove to be either. The only saving grace is that the completed set looks great.
