I absolutely loved putting this together, and although it was difficult in spots (like making sure the lights stayed in place), it was worth it and so rewarding. The instructions were very clear and helpful, and the pieces well-cut. It comes with a few doubles of things just in case. The only thing it doesn’t come with is super glue, which is needed in a few spots (and with a few looser pieces), so I used Loctite gel super glue. I will definitely try some more of their book nook kits!

This book nook is absolutely amazing and worth every penny. The coffee shop theme is done so well, and the attention to detail is impressive. From the front door that actually functions, to the expandable side that makes the shop feel bigger, to the tiny menu, food items, coffee station, and cozy seating area. Everything about it feels thoughtful and high quality. The lights are a huge bonus and really bring the whole piece to life once it’s finished. It was a fun, hands-on build that was both relaxing and rewarding, and the end result looks incredible on a shelf. The only downside is that it did not come with glue, so be sure to have some on hand before starting. Other than that, this is a fantastic project and would make a great gift or personal build for anyone who loves miniatures or book nooks.

I loved putting this together. It looks fantastic on my bookshelf and matches my aesthetic. It is pretty sturdy. I did break one of the bendable pieces but a little glue and you can’t tell. The lights work great. It also only took a few hours and I want to make a bunch more. Instructions were clear. Just a great project.

This kit was fun to build, and the interactive opening of the side was fun, but it's a bit of a mixed blessing. There was minimal gluing needed for connectors and some glueing of scene decoration. A few connectors such as scene decoration items are supposed to go into a wall slot, but there was no realistic way to apply enough pressue one the interior and the part was not sufficiently sturdy to apply pressure from the exterior. The window for one piece requires you bend/curve the plastic and a lot of the instructions when doing the windows framing in general feel like they are ordered wrong and I ran into a lot of difficulty as a result. Instructions were probably the worst part. Be extra careful when applying the glue to the windows, as it will smear if you need to adjust and is almost impossible to remove cleanly after. The bend of the plastic, if not done right, will result in failure of the glue at the hold and require clamping. This build wasn't particularly easy, but the cut quality was accurate and didn't require a lot of compensation with glue or sanding.

Pretty sure this is my favorite Booknook yet! Instructions are easy to follow, definitely easy for 12+. The pieces fit easily together and no issues with breakage. The tiny loaves of breads and jars of jam are SO fun! I love the door opening and closing. Plus the side slide out is amazing! The only bummer is that I finished it too fast. 🤣🤣 Honestly I had so much fun I spent a whole day doing just this.

Pros: it has a lot of details in the scene which make it really fun to put together. The lights have been the best identified and clear as to where to install of the book nooks I’ve done. Once it’s all assembled it looks really great! My first kit was missing the tiny mirror which ends up on the top floor, front of the final product. Make sure you inventory all the parts with the instruction book before you begin. I returned the first one and it was promptly replaced with a complete set. Cons : this does NOT come with glue which is required for many steps of the assembly, and even some that didn’t call for glue. Fortunately I had some glue from other kits I’ve done otherwise if this was my first kit I would be lost about what glue to use. The worst part of this is that the walls do not snap together well to the floor pieces and some of the interior wall decor. The latter being the gluing that wasn’t part of the assembly. Since the walls didn’t snap tightly to the floor pieces while it’s partially assembled and you’re still working on it it would easily fall apart making it very frustrating. The only other downside to it is there is a wheel to open and close the entry door of the business (the black door on the lower level) but it’s on the bottom of the unit so if you want to change it or show it to someone else you have to pick up the entire box to do so. It looks really cute when it’s all done but due to the issues with the walls I noted above I only gave it 3 stars. This would be okay for a younger teen with a lot of patience or adult assistance otherwise I would recommend it more for adults.

It turned out exactly as I hoped! All the small pieces came off the boards quite easily and none broke. They also went together fairly easily. I was worried about doing the wiring but even that was very well explained and easy to do, the touch button on/off works how it should. I had a lot of fun doing this puzzle. Will definitely get more!

I got this as a Christmas present for my daughter and she is really enjoying the assembly process and how it looks.

It was my first time making a book nook and it was so easy to understand the instructions. I will definitely be trying another one.

Absolutely love this booknook! Definitely challenging in comparison to others I've done, but totally worth it! I love something that is more involved lol. Probably a good idea to add glue with some of the items that snap together, just to save you grief if something rattles loose.

This 3 D puzzle was so fun for my 14 year old daughter. We loved all the little details, and it provided hours of entertainment. Sadly, it doesn't hold together very well. It was barely put together and some things started falling apart.

It's a cool kit to put together, just love the out come

Nearly every part had to be sanded before being put in place, other than that a nice kit.
