My son (age 12) and I assembled this item together during the Christmas. It was challenge but fun. We helped each other to find the pieces and read the instruction. It took us four days to finish it (2 – 3 hours per day). I wish I can upload the finished tower on the website for you to see.

This a very challenging and rewarding model to put together. It is exceptionally well designed and the precision fit of the blocks for such a large model is marvelous. It looks great and impressive when finished. You have to be attentive every step of the building process due to its complexity. I wish Lego would start making more world monuments.

I’ve been a Lego fan since I was a child and bought this product the moment I saw it. It took me and my girlfriend about 10 hours to complete. The final product is very tall (box says 42″ tall, but mine measured about 45″) and absolutely beautiful.
Amazingly there was not one point in the instructions that was in any way confusing. Only difficult part of building it is digging through the 3400+ pieces to find the one you need.
For years I’ve wished Lego would make models of real-world skyscrapers. I guess the Eiffel Tower probably falls more into the world monument category. Either way, I look forward to more world monuments and skyscrapers in the future.
Worth every penny!
