Beautiful but boring!
I was so excited to build this tree! But after bag 2, I realized that all the branches were the same. Very boring build. I am disappointed.

Japanese Maple
This was a fun, quick build. I love all the fall colors. I recently purchased a light kit for a few of my botanicals which is a game changer, especially at night.

Bright colours
Was great fun to put together, and the vibrant colours look great. I added figures to stand on the base to admire the tree

Not Great
A pretty monotonous build. The planter pot is symmetrical on both sides so that was a bit lame. The tree trunk itself is neat to build, but the branches are all designed the same; there are 5 branches in all, and each branch has 2 main leaf branches and 1 cover leaf branch. The 2 main leaf branches are mirrors of each other, as are all the cover leaf branches, so when building the branches, you're building 10 of the same thing over and over again for the main leaf branches, and 5 of the cover branches the same. It was a bit boring to say the least, and I was looking forward to being done. Another disappointing aspect is that the main branches of the tree can't be moved and the design was meant to be viewed from the front. So if you're looking at it from the front head-on, it looks good, but looking at it at other angles and the tree looks disproportionate or looks like branches are missing. Being able to move the branches up or down or side to side would have been a great featrue and one that I don't think wouldn't have been too hard to make instead of fixed branches. Lastly, the pieces that hold the colored leaves onto the tree are gray in color. This doesn't make any sense, as the tree trunk and branches are a light brown or tan color. It makes no sense that these pieces would be gray. It's almost like not making them the same color was an oversight and an obvious mistake. The finished tree itself has great colors when viewed from a few steps back and it helps that I can't kill it, as I've already killed 2 real bonsai trees I've tried to grow. A cool enough finished product but could have been a lot better.

Excellent kit
As someone who has practiced bonsai on Japanese maples, this kit was right up my alley. I love the kit specific Japanese maple leaves and their various shades of autumn color. The build was not too difficult, but I would have liked to have seen a slightly larger pot as part of the build. Beautiful addition to my living room. Love the botanical collection!
