Relaxing, detailed craft kit
I really like this kit. I have never done one of these before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is a very detailed kit with lots of small parts. You have to be VERY detail-oriented to avoid having to disassemble things and flip parts over or re-orient them occasionally. I have gotten lots better as I've progressed with the assembly. I find it engrossing and relaxing because of this required deep attention to the instructions. It completely distracts me from my daily troubles. I am probably 2/3 done with it at this time. The most frustrating part of it for me has been the lights. I will say the directions are all pictorial in nature and sometimes it is hard to see where the red lines are pointing to within the illustration. I've fumbled a bit here and there, but I do like it a lot.The parts are very detailed and nice-looking. For parts that have very thin details that you have to snap out, they even give backups in case you break one! I was very impressed by that and I did have to use one of the backups (candelabra on the piano). Everything is thin wood and you snap them out of the sheet of wood. It generally snaps out very well, but you do have to be careful. There is even one part that bends. It's amazing the detailed pattern they had to use to achieve that.Overall, I am very impressed with this am enjoying it a lot!

Beautifully Crafted and Relaxing DIY Project
This Book Nook Kit turned out to be an incredibly rewarding project! I had never built a book nook before, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but it was an absolute joy from start to finish. My kiddo joined in, which made it even more fun, though I’d definitely say this kit is better suited for older kids and adults due to the patience and precision required. The recommended age of 14+ is spot on—there’s a lot of intricate work involved, and younger kids may get a bit restless. Overall, it took us about six hours to complete, but every minute was well worth it!The finished piece is truly stunning, with a warm, vintage bookstore look that stands out beautifully on my bookshelf. The colors and design details are classy and well thought out, giving it a sophisticated look that blends well with any decor. The included LED light sensor really brings the nook to life, illuminating the miniature scene and giving it an inviting glow. It was a wonderful surprise to see how much light added to the finished product, making it even more charming and eye-catching.This kit isn’t just a craft project; it’s a chance to relax, focus, and create something you’ll truly be proud of. If you enjoy DIY or simply want a unique decor piece, I highly recommend this kit. It would also make a fantastic gift for friends and family who enjoy crafting, especially book lovers who will appreciate the charming bookstore theme. I’m already looking forward to tackling another book nook!

Satisfying results, not overly complex
As an avid book lover, this book nook is such a delightful project. It’s definitely not beginner-friendly and took around 4-5 hours to assemble, though it could easily take longer depending on your pace. A whole sheet of replacement parts is included, which is thoughtful since some pieces are quite delicate. The piano edge was the trickiest part for me, as it required bending a flat piece into a rounded shape.The instructions are generally clear, though some steps require a bit of problem-solving and visualization. It would make a great project for an older child or teen, especially if they enjoy crafts or DIY activities. The kit includes almost everything you need—except for two AA batteries and a bit of tape.I really love these kits! They’re engaging to put together and add a unique charm to my bookshelves. This particular design is beautiful, with intricate details that make it stand out. The included tweezers are incredibly helpful for handling the tiny pieces. The directions are straightforward, though some steps might be a bit challenging. Overall, it’s a lovely project that will take a few hours but adds so much character to any shelf. I’m absolutely thrilled with it!

Medium difficulty level
This is not my first book nook, but it was one of the easier kits I've done. There were some fiddily bits, and I did break some things (RIP the back of the piano). It used less glue than I'm used to, though I thought there were a few places where I should have used glue regardless. The instructions are mostly easy to follow. There were a few spots where the details were hard to see, and I never understood what to do with part of the light. But overall it came together well.

Perfect if you've never done a book nook before.
I've done a lot of book nooks lately, and this one is a good, easy one. The booklet of instructions is in color, which is very useful. Most of them come in black and white, so can be a bit hard to follow. It also comes with adhesive. Most kits do not, and they give you quite a lot with a very nice little squeeze bottle. There are no extra accessories or tools.This is BY FAR the easiest book nook I've ever done. Generally they come with pages and pages of stickers where you assemble a lot of the pieces yourself. This has no stickers and very few pieces. It goes together very quickly. If you're new to putting these kits together, this is definitely a good place to start. It's a simple puzzle, but still looks really pretty. It may not be as involved as other kits, but you'll still get the full book nook effect when it's on your shelf.

The instructions are clear, but some parts are very small, so it takes patience to put together. It makes a beautiful decoration for a bookshelf and a thoughtful gift for someone who likes DIY crafts.
