Perspectives of the husband who had to build it.

This is one solid kitchen set. Once built, it felt like it would last for a long time. Durable feeling too. That's a great thing because I wouldn't want to spend hours and hours again building this thing.

Loved that it was wood instead of plastic but didn't appreciate the gaps in the build instructions that comes with the kitchen set being a furniture (little kids sized) in a box. I would like to pass onto the next person what I learned the harder way. First, the instructions are well done. Follow them. To a fine detail. I did follow them but in my rush to just get it done, I missed small details that I had to go back to fix. Not hard to fix but really annoying having to go back. Second, your experience may vary but my version came with same screws divided into different groups, such as "I" and "L" screws that came in bubble sheets, each having two groups. Shrugged my shoulders and kept building until I realized that one group had screw heads that were color matched to the kitchen and the other were noncolor. If you're not concerned about those details, ignore my second lesson. Third, there are tons of wooden panels and pieces which are each labeled with a number so finding them is just a matter of going through the stack. What wasn't clear is the orientation in which the pieces had to go. Quickest check? Every screw hole should match up and you should be able to get an 1/8 or even 1/4 of an inch of all the screws for that particular direction in every single time. If you see the directions not matching up with what you are doing, it's very likely that you messed up instead of the directions were wrong.

KidKraft should just relabel those colored and noncolored screws as totally different screw labels and also include a very prominent direction to be ginger with the screws. That's the last wisdom. For installing any of the plastic pieces, less force is more. Do not overtight.

To say my husband loved this would be an understatement! He dove right into building it and had it done in no time. My kids loved pushing it around once it was done too. My only two cents would be concerning the price. If the person you are purchasing for is used to building these type of things, it really takes very little time. For the price I paid, I was hoping it would be more of a challenge. But, that doesn't take away from the fact that my husband loves it. I don't regret my purchase.

David Giffels explores the evolution of creating a home and building a family. The author shows the reader from a man's point of view, what happens when we nurture our obessions, what happens when we dare to dream. I loved every minute I spent with him, and his wife Gina, this book is real.

Very pleased, except for the fact that it had to be assembled.  Could not have managed it without my son-in-law!

Very involved to put together. Only one sided - I had no idea--- pictures / information did not detIl that.

A little challenging to put together at first, but once you figure it out it is not a problem. However this is a two person job.

This book had both pictures and a large quantity of construction 'how to's', though personally I would have preferred more pictures and ideas pages.

Not so much about each of the archetectural features and scultural pieces; instead, a comprehensive history of how and why it was built. Very interesting reading!

The Cult of Lego is not perfect, but then again it undertakes a nearly impossible task, to share the myriad ways that AFOLs from all over the world work with LEGO as a toy, hobby, artistic medium, and more.  I love the use of photos sourced from the Lego community, and the insights from prominent builders.  Definitely recommended for anyone who loves (or has loved) LEGO!

a little tough to read.  However I like history of projects like this.  The back and forth between the guys was fasinating

I bought this for my brother-in-law, and he said that assembly is going a little slower than anticipated as he's made a few modifications. Some of the parts didn't quite line up or fit correctly. However, with his small fixes, he said it should work quite well.

This was a great take on cuckolding. I feel like it could have taken a step further by using the husband a little more. His humiliation would have been more complete if he were to have cleaned the men after, or be made to "fluff" the King. After all, Alex did call him on his feelings and his confusion.

This is a major major project to put together.  I got it for my grandfather, who was actually a sailor aboard the USS Ticonderoga in WWII, and wow, it just had too many parts to figure out.  I think he just got intimidated upon opening it up, and never got any further than that.  But for an enthusiast who loves this sort of project, it may be right up your alley.  Just don't get grandiose ideas for your 90-year-old relative.

expected that it wouldn't have such detail.  Now I like it, but my husband thinks it is way out of his comfort zone.  He's such an old fuddy duddy. lol  Bet you haven't heard that one in a while.

A SOMEWHAT HARD READ BUT VERY INSIGHTFUL INTO A MALE'S SEXUAL DRIVE  AND MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO INFIDELITY.

I am not an Architect by trade, but I have a great love of architecture as an art form. I never knew of John Portman before seeing this and I now have insight to the great contributions this man have made to US commercial architecture and even to global commercial building design. I really loved the way the producers included the family life of Mr. Portman and how he was as a father to his children even with the busy life that he had as both an architect and building commercial real estate developer.
