Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Replicate a modern marvel with the famed Farnsworth House™! Few one-room homes are as strikingly modern and instantly recognizable as the Farnsworth House™, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This single-story steel structure with floor-to-ceiling glass walls was meant to open a minimalist interior to nature in an extreme way. Construction took place from 1945–1951 on a 60-acre estate beside the Fox River in Plano, Illinois, where it still stands today. The assembled Farnsworth House model is over 10” (25cm) wide on a base with printed name label and includes a booklet with facts about the building, its construction and history.

He really likes building from tiny pieces, which is how all of the Architecture sets are constructed. If you prefer using the larger, traditional bricks, this set may not be for you. Although it has over 500 pieces, the finished model isn't large. It looks very cool, however, and I like that our son is presented with a bit more of a challenge than from some of the other Lego sets.
Additionally, the Architecture series is nice because it encourages kids to learn more about the buildings themselves. While my son was working on the Farnsworth house, we looked up details about the architect, where the house is located, and what makes it interesting. As with any Lego product, the quality is excellent and the instruction manual is extremely clear and easy to follow.
The build is pretty straight forward, just two points to note: despite the number of pieces listed on the box, about 150 of them are 1x1 flats to capture the deck, patio, and interior flooring. This does make it a bit tricky getting them all looking straight. The kit is simpler than the number of pieces might suggest. My only negative on this kit is the base which it sits on. Rather than a single base plate, it is a series of 12 6x10's which are connected together underneath. This leaves the base feeling a bit unstable and I wish it were a single flat plate.
All in all, a great kit.
I am an Architecture student, and a few remaining models are DEFINITELY going on my Christmas list; I wouldn't necessarily purchase this for a young child; it adds value to the purpose of the set if the child actually understands what he/she is building. The set does come with a detail on its actual counterpart, but once finished, is not intended to be dismantled; its a Lego set, and like most of them, it will come apart, if mishandled or dropped. It is great fun and time consuming; however, rather than a child, I would recommend this more for an adult, teen, student, or collector.
Item delivered a day early than what the expected date which is nice, and the item is in proper condition when i received it. (box is even properly intact)
About the product: (this comment is for class purposes only but the item itself is nice and can be collected)
Bought this item as my class project in Inventor. As a new designer with only 2 months knowledge in the program, I found the pieces of this Lego very easy when drawing and copying this thru Inventor. With 546 pcs but just 40 different (kind) Lego tiles inside not to mention that every pieces is just plain square tiles, I draw each pieces in just 3 to 4 minutes and the project done in one day including the assembly. Because the item do not challenge me enough when drawing this to Inventor, I decided to toss this as my project and decided to buy the Lego Star Wars X wing fighter jet and make it as my final project presentation. X wing Lego pieces is a lot harder to draw that sometimes a single piece can take me 1 hour to finish (remember I only have 2 months knowledge in Inventor so with the people that already knows the program might be drawing this in much lesser time). X wing have 560 pieces with 148 different kind of pieces, pieces that sometimes have different angles not to mention those weird shapes that you need to plan how to tackle this and make it easier to draw.

値段も高く、今後は買わない。量販店では扱いが無かったため、
ネットでの購入しか方法がなかったのが、痛い
El interior contaba con todas las piezas y no hubo ningún tipo de incidencia.
