Roger la Borde Avis 

Having a nightmare with the Advent House, The night before Christmas. The numbers on the House do not match the numbers on the pieces. When we look at the picture to see where pieces should be the slots do not Nowmatch up. Most should be tabs not slots! Oh dear!

Now updated. Had a great conversation with a lovely young woman from customer services. Made a few suggestions that she is going to pass on. My husband has glued the whole thing together and it looks absolutely beautiful. It looks stunning. Thank you for getting back to us so quickly and being so helpful.

For many years now, I've treated myself to a Roger la Borde advent calendar. The past three, or four, I've bought the 3D ones. This year, I chose the Polar Bear Bower. As always the artwork is superb. The animals, the colours, I absolutely loved it.
Assembly, for the first time in my experience, is nightmarish, an exercise in frustration. The cardboard also seems thinner on this calendar, which adds to the frustration. The tabs are very shallow, so assembling the bower was impossible. I tried trimming with a craft scalpel but that didn't work. I tried several other things, and ended up running a teaspoon handle through the slots, from the bottom, to widen them. There is still a problem with the card being thin and soft, which causes the corners of the tabs to fox before they can be pushed into place. And that's just the bower - I've still got 24 daily pieces to add... and I've already injured my thumb, pulling the skin away under the nail.
In the past, I've bought these 3D calendars for my granddaughters, who are now 5 and 9. They've never had a problem and still re-use theirs every year. Had I bought them the Polar Bear Bower, I think it would be in the bin by now. This is most certainly not a little 'joy every day'....

I bought a Roger la Bourde Winter's Tale Advent Calendar, seduced by the lovely wildlife artwork. Expecting more of the same, at least on an animal/wildlife theme, we excitedly opened the first door today.... A 'weird fairy' was revealed. Feeling quite disappointed and misled right now. Hoping things improve as we progress through Advent. I'll keep you updated.
Yep, day two...even more bizarre, a picture of a basket with some stars in??? Have had a 'reply' from Roger la Bourde, thank you for this, but no contact details, which was my original reason for leaving this review. Let me know how I can contact you and I would be pleased to do so.
