Summary:This book nook kit has a beautiful and cute design, but I haven’t had the time to assemble it yet.Pros:• Beautiful and detailed artwork on the box• Creative and unique bookshelf decoration• Pieces Appears to be accurate to photos’• Comes with lights and electronic wires and PowerCons:• Requires significant time and attention to build• Some Pieces are delicate and very small.I’ve been meaning to review this. I haven’t been able to put this DIY book nook together yet, as it looks like it takes a good amount of time and focus. However, the design on the box is visually striking, and I fully believe that once assembled correctly, it will look just as impressive. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished result when I can dedicate the time to it.I will come back and update with finished photos.

Love it!

Honestly I had way more fun with this than I had a right to. My only feedback is that I wish they'd labeled which is the cool light and which is the warm light because I switched them up and now they've gotta stay that way.

Just received my book nook and am soo excited to put it together! Will come back and review when it’s completed! I saw other reviews when it was made and just loved it!

These are very unique and offer a challenge to those who have experience with book nooks.

My wife got this to build herself but my 16 year old daughter hijacked it. It took her a good amount of days to build it, doing a little at a time, asking for no help. The directions are very clear and easy to understand. The quality is great; very sturdy. She loved the fact that there was no glue involved. The pieces are very well made and easily connect to each other and are already beautifully decorated. There are a decent amount of small pieces but they all come neatly in a perforated board and are easily pocked out. I would recommend pocking them out as needed rather than all at once. The book nook also comes with a light fixture that actually lights up (batteries not included) and adds this cool eerie feel to it. My daughter tucked the completed project between some books on her book shelf and LOVES it and has already asked for more.

I have thought about getting a small doll house or something similar to build for my daughter and her child at some point. This is a good start. It is very detailed and takes patience but, well worth the time and effort. I am only just starting but am finding that taking my time and going slowly is well worth it. I prefer quality over quantity so doing this in your spare time without rushing will be the best way to get what you want out of it. I highly recommend giving this a try.

I have put together about 40 book nooks (yes, I'm hooked) and this one was one of the better ones. The instructions were clear and even when I installed something incorrectly, I was easily able to fix it. I work on these in the evenings and feel a little sad that this kit will be finished this weekend, so of course I ordered another.

Cute toy for the family. This is a nice challenge to put together, the lighting is fun and it looks cute on a shelf. Will add a picture as soon as we're done sticking the rest of it together. I like these!

This book nook is very well made.I was extremely pleased that they were pre-stripped, and I only had to pull the end of outer casing off before connecting them. One of the very last steps said to use part "B15" which had already been used, and it was actually "B12" that was needed to secure the touch-power switch to inside bottom front piece to be able to power the lights on & off.

This is my second book shelf 3D puzzle type kit. I recommend this brand. The parts are well labeled and easy to snap out. The parts fit together well. This kit has a lot of stickers so you don't need to paint. I'm not done yet but so far I have not needed glue. They have some double stick tape and it's hard some times for me to handle but I like it much better then glue. The instructions are clear, just note that the key is on a loose page so be sure to keep it with the booklet. I find this one very relaxing to work on and easy to walk away from and pick up later.

This was so fun and cute to do. It is one of the more experienced nooks since it requires more time and patience to get it done. But it's so worth it for the end results. Really glad I did this one. It was overly complicated but still something you should do when you're not super stressed out.

Great kit! Comes with everything you need excluding the batteries. Great materials and nice details. I usually use gorilla glue on my book nooks but the glue stickers provided worked great for this kit. It's beautiful and I'm obsessed!

I worked in sessions over a weekend. It was a little fussy, and needed some figuring out in a few places but that's part of the fun. The build experience, sense of accomplishment with the final project, and the lovely display item you are left with are well worth it. If others you have done don't have you hooked on miniatures this one will.I highly recommend this one.I've included a series of build progression photos and a video to give you an idea. Buy it and enjoy the build.

This was a fairly easy book nook to put together. It took me around 4-5 hours and it didn't feel that long at all! The instructions were very clear and showed every step by step process and what you needed to do.The pieces were sturdy enough to not break and this is the first book nook I out together that didn't have a piece break! That's a huge plus in my book (no pun intended lol).It also included double sided adhesive tapes so you don't have to deal with messy glue and it gets everywhere.You do have to put the electric wires together and tape them up but again, the instructions walk you through it step by step.If you have been hesitant on buying a book nook or think it may be too complicated, then I recommend giving this one a try.

I'm retired and enjoy wooden puzzles such as these. There are a lot of stickers to help make this even more colorful. I know many manufacturers like to talk about no glue, so double sided tape is provided, cut to different lengths for different applications. It works OK, I guess it's a bit cleaner than glue, but I sure like my trusty white glue that's extra strong, brand name that has a large gorilla on it, I find that to be the best for wooden puzzles.The parts are all well made and I had no problem removing them from their individual frames.Great puzzle, lots of fun, incredible detail and provides everything you need for assembly.HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It’s kind of a spiritual successor to the sunshine town set - a cute street with a coffee shop and book store, with a tilted mirror in the back to make the street look like it extends on into the distance. I’d say this took 5-6 hours of work while half watching a movie in the distance. I always know it’ll be a good time when I do a kit from them.
