My First Nook, But Not My Last

I'd looked at these kits for some time before finally ordering one. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It was challenging, but not frustrating - a good combination. I enjoyed working on it every day, taking a little break to let some glued pieces dry. I was impressed with how precisely the pieces are engineered. The directions were pretty clear, but just a few pieces had me stumped for a while until I thought them out. At the end, it all came together perfectly and it now sits on my shelf.

We’re so happy you finally gave one a try! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed taking your time with the build and that everything came together nicely in the end. We hope you have fun with your next Nook! 😊

I’m giving it 5*s because it was my fault I wasn’t able to get to the end product the way it was intended 🥲 note: don’t glue when you’re not supposed to.

I enjoy puzzles. And I thought this would be a fun upgrade.I was right!I have to admit that when I was first getting started it was quite over whelming. And I wondered what I got myself into. Much more daunting than just 1000 jigsaw pieces on your table.The key to this is to look through the instructions. Then... Just get started!There is a lot of detail work, and it pays to take your time.But as you get going your skill gets better and better, and the build progresses easier and easier. And it becomes more and more fun as you start building it and see your hard work pay off.One big advantage this has to puzzles is that it is easily displayed. A puzzle I always just take apart and give to a friend or donate. This, I can keep on a shelf and should last a long time to enjoy. And doesn't even take up that much room, especially compared to a big ol puzzle.This was challenging but still fun. I can see myself trying to do another one of these.

This was a lot of fun to put together! It looks amazing as well and the instructions were great

I'm retired with all sorts of free time. I think these kits are great. This is the second book nook model I've put together. They've made some improvements since the last one I got. The switch to turn on the lights is now a touch pad, which is awesome. My last one you had to undo a latch at the top, open a cover, switch it on and redo the latch. Now it's right up front and you can get to it easily.

They've also started using self adhesive covers for books, posters and the like. I think my last kit had you using glue to get the covers on. This is way easier, I did the 104 books in this kit in about an hour.

I do a lot of book books and miniature builds. I can say that this kit is very good quality, and no, many of the expensive ones are not. It was a joy to assemble, it looks so cool when it’s completed, and I love the story it tells visually. All the parts were included and it looks really cool lit up.

This is not an easy build, nor is it meant to be. But the instructions are very good, and it's a lot of fun and interesting to build. Our family has built a range of simple and complex projects, and this is definitely complex, but it's got some of the better instructions and materials, making an entertaining, engaging build.

The level of detail is amazing, both in the build and in the final product. It is just sooooo cool. The book shape makes it easy to fit into a range of locations for display.

This book nook was well made and had a lot of fun features in the decor. The instructions were similar to other book nooks I've assembled, and easy enough to follow. The wooden pieces and the stickers were great quality and were easily put together

I love these kind of crafts and have been seeing them around a lot more recently so I wanted to give this one a try when I saw it. I was not disappointed with this kit. Everything feels nice and solid and was easy to get the pieces out of the boards. The direction was very easy to follow. It did take me a while to put together, so this isn't something that you can just through together in a couple hours. But I also did take my time to make everything looked really good. Over all I am very happy with this set and am looking around for others I can add to the now started collection.

C
Cat McDonald

Fantastic product.
The book covers were all stickers as were the scrolls. The instruction manual was very descriptive and clear. I did have some challenges when assembling the walls as you had to make sure the walls were absolutely perfectly aligned with elements that were already stuck to the walls, which proved frustrating at times, but once I worked out the logistics of placement the results were Stunning. This is one of my favorite builds

I am enjoying putting this together, the directions are step by step and easy to follow, so putting together is easy, the pieces are tiny, so you may want to have a tiny tool to pop them out. The pieces have been holding up with hard pressing, as some lock into place. It’s been fun putting this together, it is time consuming and is relaxing to me!

This a a very well made and beautiful book nook. The instructions were easy to follow. I had a small problem and reached out to customer service and they were wonderful. I am very satisfied with both the product and the customer service.

I have completed many of these book book kits. This one is by far one of the best. It matches my books. Beautiful kit. Instructions are amazing. Great kit.

So fun to put together! Pieces popped out easily, instructions made sense (shocking, I know), and it looks amazing on my bookshelf. The detail is so good I half expect tiny people to move in. Already buying another.

I am absolutely obsessed with this kit! It was so fun to put together. Definitely want to make another one!! My only issue is the lighting, it worked at first but now it has been finicky. I rewired the lighting and replaced the batteries and it still only works sometimes. I don’t mind because it’s still beautiful but the lighting does give it an even more amazing element- as you can see in the photo.

This brush is definitely a 1in brush. Great bristles really wish it was 2in

Best book nook ever!
Most pieces were thick and snapped perfectly together.
There is a little bit of gluing but mainly for the wall decor.
I can't get over how fun it was to build and how great looking the end result was!

Got for my parents and my mom had my dad do it because the electrical stuff was pretty hard for her! 😂 I think my dad enjoyed it though! Really magical once finished!

I was so excited to build this nook and really put my heart into it! While I did run into some challenges keeping the pieces in place. I think with a bit more patience. Still love the concept and the charm it brings!

I thoroughly enjoyed building this nook book! The directions were very easy and almost mistake proof. The product is not at all cheap looking as some can be. The die cuts were very presise, no tearing of material. I found myself enthralled during assembly and stayed up late as I didn't want to quit. Fascinating and fun and the end result is marvelous.

we have built several of these bookshelf light kits and I thought this was one of the better ones, Very sturdy and easy to follow instructions. These are really fun to do with another person or two like building a puzzle. I think it took 4 hours or so to do this one. These look great on a bookshelf when completed.
