Comes with the furniture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a build-it-yourself miniature house kit, not a finished dollhouse. You get pre-cut wooden and fabric pieces, LED lighting, paper accessories and an illustrated manual — you assemble and furnish it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you start\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePick up craft glue and AA\/AAA batteries locally\u003c\/strong\u003e — they can't be shipped internationally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for ages 14+ — parts are small and detailed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSort the pieces by number before gluing anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a toy or a display piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's a display piece. The finished house is detailed and delicate, so it's meant for a shelf or cabinet rather than play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with lights?\u003c\/strong\u003e No built-in lighting in this kit. If you want it lit, a short battery LED strip fits neatly behind the finished build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it beginner friendly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if you can follow an illustrated manual. It's a satisfying step up from the smallest kits: more pieces, more detail, but no special skills or tools needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it when finished?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's designed to sit on a standard bookshelf between your books — roughly the footprint of a hardback, so measure your gap first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need glue, batteries or tools?\u003c\/strong\u003e Glue and batteries aren't included because they can't be shipped by air. You'll want craft glue (or wood glue) and no batteries for this model. A small craft knife and tweezers help with the finer pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e Plan on a few evenings — roughly 6–12 hours depending on how fussy you are with the details. Many builders split it across a weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AnalogMaker","offers":[{"title":"JTMX-005","offer_id":52534896460078,"sku":"1005012644864064-JTMX-005","price":207.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/5512\/9134\/files\/S653b3e9de1fd498ba878c120ee1c3844A.webp?v=1788268349","url":"https:\/\/analogmaker.com\/products\/vintage-post-office-diy-miniature-house-kit","provider":"AnalogMaker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
