I'm rather disappointed with the construction method, which is both flimsy
(the top levels just sit on top rather than connect) and also uses magnets
to keep the panels on - the latter being a bad point in my book. The whole
thing is very hard to pick up without risking the collapse of the panelled
underside. Fortunately as a display piece this isn't hugely relevant, but
it's still annoying.

Flimsy indeed. Mine kept breaking apart as I tried to assemble it. Much cursing
and swearing was required. Finally when I had just got the thing finished, I
sat back exhausted and then my cat walked past, put her paw onto the side of
it, and it fell over sidewise and collapsed into many chunks. I finally rebuilt
it today (more cursing and swearing).

Having now seen this in the ABS (thanks, Kerry!), I can vouch for it's
fragility. It fell apart even as I watched...

Sounds like TLC are getting more than set ideas from Ritvik...
