Pros and cons
What we like
- Three green bamboo stems with pebbles, a pot and a wood-effect plinth
- 325 pieces, a manageable build
- Bamboo is associated with tranquility and good fortune
- Suits a desk or shelf at home or at work
What may bother
- At 325 pieces it is a short build for someone wanting a long project
- Mostly green and simple, with little color
- Decorative only: it does not grow or change
Our verdict
92 / 100Compact and calm, this suits a desk better than a showpiece shelf. It works for a housewarming or an office gift for someone who builds. Look at the larger Botanicals sets for a builder who wants a long evening.
