How hard is it to build?

Robotime rates it difficult. Expect many hours of gluing and fitting small parts, so it suits experienced crafters more than beginners.

The kit needs glue for assembly, and it is not reliably included. Check the box contents and buy craft glue before you start.

Does the lamp actually light up?

Yes. The kit includes a light feature with a realistic lamp shade, so the finished study can be lit for display.

It is 1:18 scale, roughly 8.27 in wide, 5.12 in deep and 7.48 in tall, so it fits on a shelf or desk.

It is rated for ages 14 and up. Small parts and glue make it unsuitable for younger children.

Laser-cut paper and plastic parts, furniture including the potion cabinet and crystal ball, the lamp with its shade, and assembly instructions.
