My obsession with JMBricklayer started last year when their Sunflower building set went viral on TikTok. I bought it on a whim, thinking it might be a fun DIY project. But what I didn’t expect was how much joy it brought me—watching those vibrant yellows bloom piece by piece felt like a mini escape from daily stress.
The Sunflower set quickly became one of my favorite desk companions. It’s no wonder it has been a hit on both JMBricklayer’s official site (4.86 rating) and Amazon (4.4 rating). Even now, I still recommend it to friends—it’s a small, cheerful reminder of how creativity can brighten up a space.
So when I heard JMBricklayer was releasing a new set inspired by Monet’s Impression Sunrise, I couldn’t wait to see it. And lucky for me, I got my hands on it ahead of the official launch.
Unboxing the Impression Sunrise 70016: Small Details, Big Care
Opening the box felt like unwrapping a little piece of calm. Inside were 1,514 carefully packed pieces, their colors already hinting at Monet’s signature palette—cool ocean blues melting into warm sunlit oranges.
Everything was organized to perfection:
✦ Numbered bags sorted by color to match each build section.
✦ Finger protectors so my hands wouldn’t get sore during long sessions.
✦ Tweezers for those tiny bricks and delicate light wires.
Even the instruction manual stood out—the colored diagrams made it easy to find what I needed without frustration.
Building the Impression Sunrise: From Ocean Waves to Sunrise
The build starts at the base, with layers of deep blue bricks recreating the gentle movement of ocean waves. I settled into my weekend routine: headphones on, favorite playlist humming softly, a cup of coffee nearby. Sunlight streamed across my table as I worked slowly, savoring the process.
Piece by piece, the scene began to rise. When the orange tones came in, it felt like I was painting with bricks—watching the first light of dawn spread over water.
At a 3.5-star difficulty, it was engaging yet never overwhelming. Even threading the lights—something I usually dread—felt effortless with the included tools. Perfect for beginners or anyone seeking a relaxing, satisfying build. For hardcore challenge-seekers, it’s more of a meditative break—and that’s part of the charm.
The Moment of Truth: Lighting Up My Room
Click. I turned on the light, and my little build lit up with a warm, adaptive glow. During the day, it adds a soft accent to my workspace. At night, it transforms into a cozy, ambient light source—like having my own Impressionist sunrise by the bed.
It’s not just a building set. It’s a mood piece.
Styling It: A Touch of Everyday Luxury
Since finishing, I’ve moved the Impression Sunrise around my apartment to see where it feels most at home:
✦ Bedside table – perfect for late-night reading or sipping a little wine before sleep.
✦ Work desk – a subtle companion for journaling or Zoom calls.
✦ Living room shelf – even unlit, its gradient colors add an artistic touch.
It’s become one of those rare pieces that blends into everyday life while still catching your eye.
A Little PSA: Customer Support
Midway through, I misplaced the instruction booklet (classic me). I emailed JMBricklayer, and within minutes, they sent a clear PDF version I could use on my iPad.
Heads up for international buyers: if you contact support after 8 PM New York time, you’re more likely to get a fast response (since they’re based in China). Outside those hours, replies might take longer, but they’re still reliable.
Who It’s For: And Why It Makes a Perfect Gift
This isn’t just for building fans. It’s for:
✦ Anyone who loves slow, mindful hobbies.
✦ People who appreciate design and ambient décor.
✦ Someone looking for a unique housewarming or birthday gift.
One of my friends saw my finished set and immediately said, “Okay, I’m obsessed. Drop me the link.” That’s how you know it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Worth Every Penny at $79.99
For $79.99, you’re getting more than just bricks. You’re buying a creative experience, a stunning décor piece, and access to JMBricklayer’s thoughtful customer support. From start to finish, it feels worth every dollar.
Ready to Bring the Sunrise Home?
✦The Impression Sunrise officially launches on July 24th at 8 PM Pacific Time.
From what I’ve learned, JMBricklayer usually limits the first batch to gauge demand. If you’re interested, I’d recommend subscribing to their emails to get notified the moment it goes live. That way, you’ll have the best shot at grabbing one before it sells out—because my friend is already waiting, and I have a feeling they won’t last long.
