From flat pieces to a world that glows

It happens slowly, and that’s the point.

NIGHT ONE

You get the box with the pieces and instructions

176 pieces, pre-cut and numbered, laid out on the table. Twenty minutes of sorting and the shape of the thing starts to make sense.

The nights after

You build one piece at a time

One piece at a time, following illustrated steps. You stop when you want to. Most people finish in 6-12 relaxing hours.

The last night

Switch on the lights and show it on your shelf

The LED kit is already in the box. Two AAA batteries, one touch on the base, and the room you built is suddenly lit from inside.

Build It. Love It. Display It.

Build a beautiful miniature you'll love creating and proudly displaying

Two days is impressive! We’re glad the instructions were clear and that you loved how cute it turned out. 🥰

This is a great place to start with the Book Nooks. Some of the pieces were challenging and required some extra sanding. So fun!

I loved this. It takes patience and you have to be careful getting the pieces out but luckily I didn't break anything. I fully enjoyed doing this and will be ordering more.

Definitely wasn’t “easy “ to put together (took me 4-5 hours) but directions are clear. And I love the final product. Super cute. I’ll order different kinds in the future.

I am obsessed with this! So cute and adorable. It adds a nice vibe to any book case/shelf. It doesn’t take long to put together, but it is a bit fragile.

I wouldn’t say I’m a pro but this was my second book nook and it took me about 4-5 hours of assembly!! I definitely recommend this one it looks so good on my shelf ✨

Absolutely loved this project. All parts plus some spare were included and the instruction manual was top notch! I would recommend and even make it again.

Great quality. Clear instructions. All pieces labeled clearly. It was my first time building a book nook - took me roughly 7 hours while listening to an audiobook in the background and several short breaks. Had to undo and re-twist the wiring a few times but eventually got the lights to work! It looks sooo good and I found it relaxing.* one note - instructions say it comes with complimentary glue but mine did not, had to buy my own.

I put this together as a gift for my mother in law who loves these things but doesn't care for fiddly crafty things. I, however, love fiddly crafty things. Putting it together was a joy, clear instructions, quality parts. It even held up to being packed in a suitcase and flown across country. If you like models or intricate projects, definitely give it a try.

I enjoy putting this together and the finish product. Definitely going to do another one. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. Everyone thinks it’s amazing when they see it.

My dad was recovering from surgery and I purchased this for him to do while stuck in the house. He loved it! It does take quite a while to put together but the directions are easy to follow and it uses different skills which keeps it interesting. I definitely would recommend for anyone who likes crafting and is looking for a fun project.

I was surprised by how good the quality is. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. It took me around 8 hours to put together and I enjoyed the process a lot. I am so glad I bought it! It so pretty, it makes me so happy!

This is my second professional shadow box thingy. I know I’m supposed to put it on my bookshelf but it looks so good with my house houseplants too. Took me about 24hrs to put together. Love love love.

This was one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. It was super fun and rewarding to build. The pieces can be fragile so use caution when working with them. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It looks so nice nestled between my books. My son loves to come home and turn the light on for me. 💖

Great detailed instructions. No cutting out pieces with scissors like other 3d puzzle houses. This was fun and looks cute.

Elizabeth Owens

This was fun to make. It was like doing a 3D puzzle. I chose to paint some of the furniture and add/rearrange some things to my taste. The only probably was forcing the wood pieces together can break them but I don’t think there’s any way around that, so just be careful.

I got this for my birthday and was a little intimidated when I first opened it up. There are a ton of steps and little pieces. However the directions are so nicely done I was able to put it together in about 4 hours. It looks perfect on my shelf!
