I bought it as a present

Cute little music store

This was a fun little build taking just over an hour, with no rush. There are 483 pieces between 4 bags, with 2 instruction booklets. There are 4 minifigs - Zac and Paisley we have seen before, but Elsa D. is new to us and I love the cute addition of Marimba the corgi! The set itself was easy to put together and has lots of fun little details, like the piano key steps up to the doggy door into the apartment and the little reading light above the loft bed. Lots of other details and decor in this set too, from the album covers in the music store to the cassettes and notepad strewn over Elsa's bed. I like that the apartment windows open and there is the addition of pretty tulips - our first set with these new flowers. Marimba has their own comfy dog bed and the store even has headphones for the figs to listen to their music. My 9 year old can build this when taking her time, but it is a fun build for adults too. We like that the top and bottom floors of the house can be separated and that there are lots of instruments for the minifigs to play with. Lego Friends sets are always so colurful and this is no exception, I think it makes building it more fun! The set is big enough to provide hours of fun on its own, but if you are lucky enough to have a few of the Friends sets putting them together can make a fun play town that will keep the kiddies quiet and occupied all day, making musical adventures. The drum kit in the window can be easily removed to join the street piano - ready made street party! Definitely would recommend this set to Lego lovers - I don't remember seing a music store in Heartlake City before, so this is a great addition!

Fiddly but cool!

I found this Lego the most fiddliest I have ever done but relaxing at the same. My 9 year did not have patience for putting this together. I'll leave it to you Mummy! She played with it after I completed it and she put the people figures together. This whole playset took me three hours to complete and it is so detailed and looks really cool. There was one piece missing so one wall has air conditioning according to my daughter. The next day it was relaxing finding places to put the extra pieces provided. I need a shelf now to display this masterpiece!

Fun and Playable

This Lego set contains 4 paper bags, 2 instruction manuals and a sticker sheet to build the music shop and apartment. There is also 3 Lego friends Zac, Paisley and Elsa D along with a small dog called Marimba. The set has lot of fun and playable features such as a computer desk with a chair that swivels, letter box that you can post a Lego letter, a variety of musical instruments and some music sheets and lots of colourful flowers. My 7 year old took a few hours to build this but in her words it was SO WORTH IT. The amount of fun, laughter and playtime she had with this was lovely to see. It really sparked her imagination and creativity. The final features I really liked was the barcode on the back of the box that when scanned it take you straight to watch some Lego friend episodes.

Music Marvel.

Received this well designed ‘Lego Friends’ Music shop & apartment today, Saturday 5, July 2025 & my youngest son couldn’t wait to get started creating this model. There are numerous outstanding features, including the upper sloping windows, with the addition of a central floral planter. With 2 lower canopied windows with 2 further window boxes. And a canopied front door. There is a main external piano staircase & an internal loft ladder too. As well as other detailed pieces such as the white guitar; saxophone; drum kit; keyboard; postbox; record player turntable & records; musical notes; music sheet & airmail letter. And also included both a kitchen & sleeping platform, which are equally detailed. There are 3 ‘Lego Friends’ characters, Zac, Paisley & Elsa D as well as Marimba the dog. Altogether a wonderful 483 piece set. Aimed at 7 years & over. Which took approximately 1 hour to build, from commencement to completion. Hence a highly recommended product.

Great Music Shop

This set is really nice. Easy to put together, it took my daughter a couple of hours to do & the booklets were easy to follow. There are many features on this set, like the windows open. There is a letterbox, the musical note sign moves. There's a crate with records in microphone on the piano. Inside the chair moves. There is so much detail inside the set too. Guitars, drums, keyboard & a dog. Very good set to have in the lego collection.

Fun LEGO set with lots of play potential!

Another great set! The set says 7+ and our (just turned) 8 year old managed it with just a small amount of help. There are lots of play elements once it’s built and both our 8yo and 3yo have enjoyed playing with it since. It comes with 3 figures and a dog, and it’s quite easy to dismantle so they can both play with separate parts at the same time. We really loved the paper bags that the pieces came in; much better than the old-style plastic bags. Overall, fun little set!

Amazing detailed set

Amazing set. My 7 years old daughter and I build the set and we had an amazing time. The pieces are sealed in 4 paper bags, and there are 2 instruction manuals (1 for the music store and 1 for the flat) plus a sheet of stickers. There are lots of details both in the store and in the flat. This set is a great addition to my daughters collections and it s becoming her favourite as she loves music

Cute instruments and playable set

This looks fantastic when built, great to display but also to play with as there are many individual components. Like all the instruments which my daughter describes as cute. The build took about 2 hours and that’s an accomplished LEGO builder. Many small fiddly parts kept falling off as it was being built which was mildly frustrating but this is often all part of building a LEGO set so manageable. The colours are lovely nice to see something other than just pink and lilac for the ‘girls’ sets but would be great to finally see a normal bright colour palate. The best thing about this build was definitely how much playability it gives after the build, just add a little imagination!

Music for the Lego Friends' ears

This is highly detailed set. There's some really fun details to the music shop including the staircase is like a piano keyboard. There's even a record player.and sets of headphones, even the door handle is a microphone!The apartment also has fun details, like a loft bed, which isn't really noticeable on the box. There's hours of fun and role play here and easily fits in with other Lego Friends sets.
