This was a great build for me. It took three days for me. As a Senior it helps keep my mine sharp. The tiny pieces are great for working my fingers. Enjoy lego builds.

Outstanding Lego
My wife and I are experienced builders, with a large variety of age 18+ sets. For us, this turned out to be an outstanding build, exceeding our expectations. The assembly was particularly satisfying and the intricate details of the model fascinating. The designer has done an excellent job translating the real cathedral into Lego. As far as cons, as noted in other reviews, much of the construction is necessarily repetitive (as you'd expect). But for us, the satisfaction far outweighed this unavoidable con. Despite the complexity and intricacy of this model, the instructions were clear and assembly was straight forward. One caution: avoid dropping pieces into the partially assembled building. Dropped pieces have a tendency to wedge themselves into the detailed interior (lots of pillars), forcing you to partly disassemble the building to retrieve (or even find) the dropped piece.

Dream Display Piece
Absolutely stunning display piece. Building process can get a bit tedious at points with the sheer number of windows and a few other things but not too bad. Can be a bit of a finger destroyer with all the small pieces that need to be put together. Build process is incredibly rewarding with each stage being quite beautiful in it's own right despite being incomplete. Well worth the money.

Okay set
The Notre Dame Lego set comes out as a beautiful set however I came to find that it did not look that much like the real thing, sure it's a Lego set and the Notre Dame is a very intricate building but it is also the overall build did not completely look like it, I also found this build to be very repetitive which is expected with an architectural piece like this, the whole build is very fragile in every state and unfortunately this caused my set to break during the building process and the process of putting it back together was extremely tedious as it was harder than usual to tell where pieces came from. Overall I do think this is a good display item for my collection and it is a beautiful final product that also had an interesting build due to the build being in order of how the cathedral was actually built as well as the interesting facts scattered throughout the instruction booklet as well as the blocks representing materials actually used in building the Notre Dame. I would recommend this set to someone who is looking for this as a display piece only as well as someone who is ok with it being fragile and repetitive. Overall I do like the final product there is just a few things I noticed.

Missing 1 piece
Open up the third pack just to find out it’s missing an a piece and now I have to pay for another Lego piece for it

That's no fun! If your piece isn't hiding on the floor or stuck in the packaging somewhere, visit LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV to request what you need free of charge.
Very Beautiful Piece
Excellent Job Lego for having intricate set like this. Definitely nice piece to display. I had a bit of hard time on one side where it bends other than that it’s easy to follow as long as you don’t drop a piece inside it. I have learnt to use chopsticks to pick up fallen piece but overall the experience is such exhilarating… and the click of the bricks as you build is very satisfying.

Excellent
I’m thoroughly enjoying this build. You have to be so careful that you don’t drop a piece inside once you start to build the top or it takes ages to get it back out.
