My son is a Lego fanatic, he builds every set that he gets within a few short hours. I purchased this with hopes of keeping his busy for awhile (not to mention his fascination with the Eiffel Tower), but it has yet to be built. Maybe one day...

What a wonderful Lego set! Excellent build quality, clear directions, and the finished product is massive! After spending almost 12 hours together building this wonderful tower, my 9-year-old said: "All I can say is: Wow!"
The first part of the tower, the bottom third, is unstable during the building process, but when you connect all four "feet" of the tower, it becomes stable. (This must have been true of the real tower when they built it in the 1890s as well). The middle and top sections are very tight and stable the whole way along. The design is brilliant, divided in three parts for stability and mobility. The attention to detail is astounding; this set even has the elevators inside the tower that people who have never visited the real tower have probably never noticed.
Lego creates their products with such care and perfection. Despite having over 3500 pieces, not a single piece was missing. At one point, we thought a piece was missing that we needed to move forward with construction. We took a piece from a different Lego set that was the wrong color, intending to email Lego to have them send the right color piece out later. However, later in the process, we found the correct piece! We simply carefully exchanged pieces to make the color correct. We have built over 10 big Lego sets together and have never found them to be missing a piece.
I agree wholeheartedly with those that say you should keep the pieces organized and not dump them all in one pile. On the other hand, it's unnecessary to separate pieces by every single piece type, because Lego was smart enough to have the pieces mainly sorted by type in each bag inside the box. We just dumped all the "tiny" pieces in one box together, and had to dig for them when needed. The organization was actually quite easy for this project.
The best thing of all was hearing my daughter say to me every day as we built this project together "I really love building Legos with you, Daddy!" As others have noted in their reviews, building this tower together can be a great way for people to bond together. It is much more satisfying than a video game, and the three-dimensional aspect makes it a lot more fun than a jigsaw puzzle.
Now we are eager to visit the real Eiffel Tower. We have a renewed respect for Mr. Eiffel's amazing accomplishment and appreciation for how proud the French are of this wonderful landmark.
Well done, Lego company! Now if they would only make another landmark tower such as the Chrysler Building or the JinMao tower from Shanghai!

3' tall is large for a Lego piece. It was taller than 2 of my kids. 8 hours of building according to the excellent directions. Lots of fun - you learn building techniques, architecture, have fun with building, and at the end you have a lot of very usable pieces for other creations. Truth be told, some of the pieces I have not used again, but that's to be expected, I think. Nothing as specialized as you'd get in many of the space sets, I just haven't built many buildings on this same scale since. Excellent investment.
