Miniature house kits without painting and optional glue

Hi everyone!

I was given 2 Rolife kits recently for mother's day: Henry's chocolate shop and the Rolife Mini House DIY Sweet Dream Bedroom Kit.

I found the chocolate shop lovely to work on. No painting, minimum glue needed, snap out pieces that clicks together....

However, the mini house bedroom kit was a nightmare. Needed to paint the wood ( I needed at least 5 coats so I don't see the wood grain) , when putting the drawers together, pieces keep falling off ( not the kit' s fault. I don't have the dexterity to hold 3 pieces together to wait for the glue to set without using clamps at my woodwork class) I gave up on it after paint all over my hands.

I found their symbols on their boxes very confusing: I thought the scissors mean you need to paint and cut of paper yourself , but I have scissors symbol in ones that snaps out too)

Any other brand out there that is Similar to the chocolate shop in terms of the snap on pieces, minimum glue and no painting needed?

There are some lovely looking ones on at Temu. Problem I have with shopping on sites like that is that it doesn't tell you if it needs a lot of cutting and gluing. I bought a sushi restaurant kit that ended up needing lots of technical tools and glue. I gave up on it.

I do miniature to relax so I like something that is not too involved.

Thank you for any advise.
