There is such a LOT in this set and so much you can do with it. It comes with a booklet that steps you through building 5 items and gives you a few decorating options. After each one there are a number of images for alternate builds based on that theme - many of these builds have downloadable instructions so if something particularly takes your fancy they are easy to recreate. Of course, this is really just a box full of "bits" that you can use to make and decorate whatever you can imagine.
The only real let down of the builds is the frame. It isn't designed to take a printed image but rather it is more a plaque to decorate. Admittedly I think it is titled as a name plate so that could just be me misinterpreting. It was the most fun to decorate though - so there you go. The 4 other suggested builds are really fun and quite simple in construction. Even better they are actually useful, my computer desk now has plenty of Lego storage solutions and I LOVE IT.
The colours of the decorating tiles have a range of pastel and saturated colours with plenty of black and white. I did try and use a variety of them across the pieces but I did find I was missing a proper green. That is my only real gripe with the set. I did like that there was a range of tile types in each colour as this made it easier to try and create your own design. The inclusion of alphabet tiles is also a fun idea and you can go to town with verbiage as there are quite a few of each letter.
This is definitely a great set for anyone who loves to create and would keep you occupied for hours trying to fine tune those designs.
PLEASE NOTE: The minifigures used to decorate the pieces are from my stash and are NOT included in the set. The tubs showing all the parts sorted are NOT part of the set and also come from my stash.
