It all came apart!
I put this together about a week before December 1st. It took FOREVER to put together. Lots of gluing is involved. I put the boxes all in a bag and on December 1st pulled them out to find ALL of them had come undone. The adhesive that holds them together (the one part that I didn't use a glue stick for) is a joke! I'm not kidding. Every single box was undone. So I had to quick tape all of the boxes back together. For the amount of work involved with this Advent Calendar, it's just not worth it. I do not recommend it to others. The boxes are a good size, but that's about all I can say that's nice about this product.

Fun project
i bought four of these kits for my grandchildren. I really like the idea and the boxes were real nice cardboard. There were a few issues though. The tape strip was not quite strong enough to hold the boxes together so I had to reinforce everyplace it went together with tape so it took longer to put them together. They are a very good size also. They are pretty time consuming to put together.

Not Bad
This looked like fun, so I decided to give it a shot. I am pretty happy with it too. My only complaint is that the adhesive on the matchboxes is not very strong. The cover is fine, but I had to add adhesive to the drawers because they kept coming apart. The papers all seem to fit on there well, and I have enough of them to cover everything which has not always been the case. It is a fun craft, and pretty easy to do! I will say that it is a bit pricy for what it is though. At least the cardstock is much better quality than the "chipboard" that comes with most other "Scrap Your Own" products.
