Review:“This was a fun build that looks super cute! Instructions and assembly are easy enough that you don’t get overwhelmed. The pieces fit well together and it feels nice when you hold it. I didn’t realize you can make different things when I bought it but it comes with 3 separate instruction booklets for a tv and camcorder. Perfect for the price.” -Kait
