Funwhole Book-Cafe Lighting Building-Bricks Set - City Town Coffee House LED Light Modular Construction Building Model Sets 1718 Pcs for Adults and Teen

Adult (30+) brick builder here. Not affiliated review… I was curious about this brand and gave it a try… I was also skeptical about none major brand brick sets in general but really liked to have building sets with lights baked in… so here we go Pros: 1. Good quality. Clutch power is different from major brands but works for me as some parts actually feels better this way. Color consistency is very good. No issues at all with quality. I did actually broke off one piece that’s was held with something like a nano-stud but was mainly my own fault as I was fussing too much about alignment and put waaay too much force than I should. 2. Good design. Nice details throughout with numerous prints (NO stickers!!). I really love the coffee station setup, even better with the warm light from the ceiling! I will arrange this next to my espresso machine for a complete setup :) 3. Good instructions. I consider myself as very experienced brick builder and the instructions are good. Some steps are a bit too combined but no issue for me. The cabling is a bit tricky but the instruction about them is very good. The built-in cabling also slows me down as I like to fuss with alignment and orientation but for me it is a plus to enjoy the longer build process. 4. Built-in lights and power! This is revolutionary ! It brings so much more out of the building sets. I had very few brick sets of building as I don’t like to have much of the details hidden in the back in darkness. This is also the main reason I tried this set. Street lights, bedroom lights, reading lights and so much more!!! Really like all of them! 5. Extraordinary value! With the amount value I’m getting in terms of quality, design, and fun factor, it is tremendous value compared to major brands!!! Cons: 1. Difficulty level, this is probably for older kids or adults as the cabling adds to the complexity and also the requirement for tactility of hand/finger. 2. Design. Maybe a bit nitpicking but some parts you will still have to clutch on top of wires, leaving small gaps and unevenness that compromises both aesthetics and structural robustness. Example is around the top area of the front portion on the second level (one picture). Maybe they can come up with new piece designs to accommodate? Another thing is structural robustness across some tall brick pillars. Sometimes there is little overlapping and/or cross connection along different vertical directions for stabilization. I messed up some parts when pressing down during my build and had to repeat sometimes. 3. Color. Really nitpicking here but I would love to see a more bright/shiny gold tone if possible. 4. Please ignore the name of the brand….. I would really recommend changing the name. Luckily the short name is F.O. Overall: Very very good build and excellent product. I was totally not expecting such nice experience. Can’t wait to buy more from this brand. Also, just ordered the police car with the lights for my kid. I’m sure he will love that! Additionally, I could really use some kit for motion sensing on the lights. I am regardless going to DIY one but would be nice to have some motion sensing bricks to reduce the clutter (if they can make it).

Amazing build. I had a such a good time building the cafe but before I get started, a little bit of background. This was my first set from this company and I knew it was one of their older sets so I had an some background that the lighting was going to be challenge. This company has come a long way since those intial sets and I am looking forward to building more of them. What I love? Zero stickers! Do you hear that Lego? Zero Stickers! The printed titles and other prints are beautiful. The build of the espresso machine withe silver drum laquered pieces. OMG! You have to see it believe it. The details whether on the first floor, second floor or the third were abundant. The quality of the bricks is just as good as Lego and the instructions are not dumb, they are in some instances, a little basic if you're an experienced builder. Take your time though. There are some similiarly colored pieces and you may confuse the two. Zero missing pieces as well. Overall visually stunning and did I mention the price? Super affordable. I just got the newspaper stand and I really want their Old West sets. Thanks!

I took a chance on the set when it was on sale early during the release. The blocks are of high quality and instructions were very descriptive. The lighting kit (Included!!!) was a great addition to the set. The set is very solid and has great play ability due to whole walls opening to reach the inside. My daughter (9) loved being able to move minifigures around in the set with lots of places you can have them sit and stand while still having a slick appearance. This set comes with Fun Wholes own minifigures which are nice but the set is equivalent size to Lego so you could use those as well. They also have a lot of pieces which are their own design and work well. I highly recommend this set for anyone building a town as it is half the price lego would ask. Also there are no stickers (all printed pieces).

Loved it. Great bricks. Fantastic lighting. Have returned to buy a second item. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Le Café Littéraire est un set vraiment magnifique ! Les pièces sont de très bonne qualité, solides, avec un plastique agréable et parfaitement compatibles avec les briques d’une grande marque très connue. Les couleurs sont uniformes, le plastique robuste, et les détails des pièces sont impressionnants, notamment la machine à barista qui est incroyablement bien conçue et très réaliste. C’est vraiment un vrai plaisir de la voir terminée sur le set. En revanche, au niveau de la solidité de la structure, il faut noter que les murs sont un peu moins robustes que sur d’autres sets médiévaux, car il y a moins de renfort avec des briques d’angle à 90°. Cela crée un petit jeu entre certains murs, mais ça ne nuit pas à l’ensemble, qui reste stable pour une présentation et pour le plaisir de la construction. Le design général est superbe : les détails architecturaux et décoratifs sont vraiment soignés et apportent beaucoup de charme au set. Même si le montage est un peu moins “solide” que sur d’autres modèles, le rendu final vaut vraiment le coup. En résumé, c’est un set splendide pour tous les amateurs de constructions médiévales et urbaines : des pièces de qualité, un design élégant et surtout, la machine à barista est un vrai bijou. Malgré quelques murs un peu fragiles, le plaisir de montage et le rendu final sont au top.

Un gran producto que le da sopas con hondas a sets de un número de piezas similares y a un gran precio. Buenos detalles y la iluminación hace que se vea mucho mejor, y no se vende por separado.

A beautiful kit, ingenious lighting system, enjoyable to build. A formidable competitor for that firm from Denmark.
