The two sides of the set, comprised of 2,287 pieces, are mirror images of each other, each held up by sturdy tree bases. Will's bedroom, the living room, and the dining room are featured in both builds of the house, but the Upside Down version is darker colored and has vines all over to make it look like the laternate dimension from the show.
