RolifeLED Book Nook Kit-Decorative Bookend Stand-3D Wooden Puzzle for Adults-Bookshelf Insert Booknook-Room Decor for Teen Girls Boys Women Men

As someone who is very crafty and loves creating, this book nook kit was super fun to put together and the instructions were very clear. It looks great finished amongst my Harry Potter book collection!

I've seen bought a few diaramas and book nooks past this one, and I can confirm that this was one of the nicer ones! The important pieces are all thick enough to be sturdy. There are spare parts as well, though not as many as I'd like. Would have loved if they included more flowers for you to decorate with, but I ended up just cutting little pieces from the leftovers as "petals". The water effect is AMAZING due to the multiple layers of woods and plastics used!Pros:- Came with EVERYTHING you need, except batteries.- The glue it came with was the best glue I've ever used. I also use the magnetized screwdriver for other diaramas.- The battery pack is expertly hidden underneath the book nook, and doesn't dangle when picked up. It's also easy to access.- The wiring was easy to work with; some projects I've worked with required you to tear away the plastic of the wire. This project did NOT need you to do that; everything is ready for you to build with!- No painting necessary.Cons:- Some pieces, like the pier poles / train body / AC unit "legs" are thin and easy to break since you have to push the pieces together.- Pieces are a TIGHT fit. Prepare to push many wooden parts together.- The back corner where the sakura tree goes is a bit bare; you can try and put something in the back to liven up the white space.Tips:1. Apply equal pressure when breaking out your wooden parts from their molds. Use your thumbs to push them out- any kind of pinpoint pressure (like pushing them out with tweezers) is an easy way to break the pieces.2. Be extremely careful with the "train" piece. It uses super-fine cuts to cause it to be "bendy", and it's quite fragile.3. Use your spare parts to glue to the backboard (the side with the bookshelf, cat, etc.). They can keep your wires in place much better, since the board only gives you 3 areas to keep the wires down. I ended up needing 6.4. The hardest part is pushing your completed sides together to make the book nook shape. Keep your hands flat and push against the base, not against other completed parts. It will be a very tight fit- push the board into each hole slot to make sure they fit, then sand down if needed.5. The board with the AC unit is the same side that form-fits to the stairs. If you have any dark paint, paint the area below where the stairs fit in case your stairs don't fall flush against the board. When the lights are on you don't notice the gap, but with the lights off it can be seen.6. Don't panic if you break a piece! This type of wood breaks like "layers", so a break is nearly invisible when you glue them back together.

My husband got me this as a Christmas gift. It's a very thoughtful present for crafty book lovers! It is challenging to build for sure — the tiny pieces are brittle, and you need a careful hand for some of the assembly. But the pieces are well cut and printed, the instructions are thorough, and I was very surprised at how high quality this is.

The media could not be loaded.  Obligatory I don’t usually leave reviews intro but I felt compelled to go full circle with this thing because I read the reviews and didn’t feel like I was properly warned of the actual amount of effort this took. The initial reviews I read said how great of a gift for kids this was and so I thought, hey if kids can do it, it can’t be too complicated. My god was I wrong. This thing took me THREE days to make. Like literally working for hours every day lol idk maybe there’s something wrong with me but I cannot imagine a child sitting down and focusing for that long to make this thing happen. The instructions are ok, some of it was a little unclear but I muddled my way through. Look, it’s absolutely adorable and if you have a lot of patience and enjoy tedious tasks, GO FOR IT. But don’t waste your money if you’re not willing to WORK for this thing. And I mean work work.

What a wonderful DIY design, I want to build another one! The instructions are well thought out and easy to understand, the process is really enjoyable if you like tedious and delicate projects, and the final product is adorable and I can't stop staring into it. Overall, for the number of tiny things that need to align, it fits surprisingly well. Some of the pieces are fairly brittle but I only had a few issues. The ones I snapped that didn't have replacements could be glued back together, and the affected pieces were all fairly small and hidden away. Also the company seems pretty straightforward about getting you replacement parts if you break anything important.I spent a solid 24 hours on this thing over a couple of days, obsessively lining everything up and waiting for glue to dry. I recommend having some kind of flat-faced bag clips or something to help hold some of the bits together while the glue dries, and especially a pair of tweezers for handling some of the smaller parts.

This kit was very easy to put together, instructions were easy to follow. The pieces were cut perfectly and only needed minimal sanding. I chose to paint each piece as I was making it (I don’t like the raw edges) and decided to give it a Hogwarts Express vibe. Some of the pieces were pretty fragile and you have to be careful when assembling them, also I used glue throughout even when it wasn’t called for to ensure its longevity. Will definitely do another kit again.

Ma fille a adoré merci
