Not for beginners. I enjoyed it very much. Large size makes it stand out among the other wooden kits out there. Did use glue on parts of the globe to keep them from falling off, but not a big issue. Definitely recommend for those seeking a challenge.
My 9 year old picked this for Christmas. Very tedious but if you follow the directions step by step you will get there. Use a little wood glue on the globe where you put in small pegs and attach to the frame
