I forgot to say, the super glue was used on the spring construction to stop it exploding in my hands. Having that spring go off was so dangerous. You need to be careful of your hands and eyes.

This arrives flat pack with a whole heap of parts. The quality is immediately clear from the weight of the wood and the intricacy of the carving.
There are good instructions inside, but I was helped greatly by other reviewers tips and videos for constructing, and I must be lucky that mine is in working order. It took a lot longer than the 3 hours they suggest, but then if you enjoy model making you’ll be quicker than me. Also it would be quite a nice social craft-y type activity. Take warning when you do the spring bit – like another reviewer said, best wear gloves at that point in case of laceration. (I didn’t have that problem but I can see how you could.)
The end result is really beautiful – the intricate carving, the rotation, the lights and the music (La Vie En Rose). Magical. Personally I think I’d prefer to have been given it complete (and of course you can always make it as a gift for someone) but it would be a treat for any crafty model makers.
I think the current price of £58.90 is expensive, but given the contents I can understand it. I could see this being well loved and becoming an heirloom to hand down the generations.

I really enjoyed building this model until I reached the spring assembly.
I tried six times to compress the spring as per instructions and pictures. But without success.
I have emailed the company (WoodTrick) twice asking for help but no reply.
A waste of £60.00.

This looks pretty complicated to make but once you get going it’s relatively easy because it’s quite repetitive. All the pieces slot together without glue – a bit like a 3D jigsaw and once it’s made, it’s an actual working model that turns and plays music. You need 2 x 2032 batteries but they last for ages so there’s no need to worry about the expense of buying batteries for it all the time.
All in all, a really nice model which would make a good gift for an older child or adult who likes making things and despite being quite delicate looking it’s actually pretty sturdy as long as you keep it out of reach of very young children.

This is a beautiful to put together Parisian Carousel that uses 3D wood pieces ( total pieces 440 ) using top grade sanded plywood , no glue needed . It takes around 3 hours to construct ( it takes me a lot longer but I do not rush I savour it ) . This will be the third one I have put together a Robotime 3D marble run and a Baroque clock , there are a huge collection that suits everyone to choose from all different and excellent quality . Lovely models that family can get together and children can join in to share quality time together . This carousel is a music box and is backlit using 2x CR2032 batteries ( not included ) . Looks great as a feature piece on a shelf or even a night light and is a good talking point . They make lovely gifts that are different .
