I actually bought this for my 35 year old husband after we paid off our house for Christmas. We had fun putting it together and it came out great. He uses it at work to hold his pencils. It's a great, fun reminder of meeting a life goal.

Little Brick Root

by Christian

One of my few complaints about this set is the lack of an interior wall to define the pen compartment. The house is hollow, but the opening for pens is only about half the size of the base. This means that pens could wind up at all kinds of odd angles and that shorter ones might even fall down inside. If I was going to keep mine as a pen pot, I would build an interior divider. All in all, a nice little model that would make a handsome desk accessory for any FOL. Alternatively, the set is a fine parts pack with useful windows, a door, roofing and a selection of longer bricks. All suitable for city builders.
