It turned out so cute!! I don't have any photos at the moment, but I had an absolute blast building this. The instructions were well designed and easy to follow. The pieces were all labeled clearly. The wood is quite sturdy. I was concerned at first thinking they would chip or break (some are so delicate looking) when popping them out of the boards, but I didn't break anything. The pieces popped together well. It was fun to build all the furniture pieces and even make tiny books. The pieces are ornate and very detailed. I never thought the whole thing would snap together in the final phases, but again I was pleasantly surprised. All the parts lined up just fine and it snapped together easily. The lights work great. It took a minute to figure out what they wanted when stringing and testing the lights, but they look great. It came with good glue, a tiny screwdriver for the light box, and a pop out wrench for poking out the parts and pressing the pieces together. I thought it was a bit on the spendy side until I put it together. I feel like the quality is well worth the price. I purchased a cheap one and never even bothered to put it together because it was going to be a lot of time for a cruddy looking box. This one came with actual stickers- no cutting and gluing the "stickers" on with Elmer's glue. Absolutely fabulous. I recommend this to anyone looking for a fun hobby.

The media could not be loaded. This kit was surprisingly easy to build! The directions were a bit of a challenge (especially when I’m used to CuteBee and MiniCity’s directions). If you can read a map and can follow keys, you’ll be okay. There were a few times that the directions weren’t clear- for example, in Step23, you have to assemble shelves but the holes are not centered (they’re more on one side) and it doesn’t say which direction the items install. After punching out the items, I decided that the items face more towards the front of the shelves. In retrospect, I don’t imagine it makes much of a difference but the items are more visible closer to the front. I am amazed at the quality of the precision laser cutting! I took a photo of the wands and laid a toothpick next to them for comparison and not one of them broke! Actually, NOTHING broke in this kit. Kuddos to Luuwik for that! I always saved leftover pieces from other kits and used many of them here. I like that it requires 2 AA batteries- they last a whole lot longer than the triple As. Also, it doesn’t come with a dust cover (& never said that one is included) but I have PVC sheeting and will make my own. I absolutely love the magic secret room. It comes with a small block of paraffin wax to wax the wheels of the magic room (very clever idea!) I waxed it three times, rubbed the wax in real good and it turns effortlessly! NOTE: the directions have you installing the bottom round piece AFTER you have it in place! Good grief! What a flaw in the directions! Go ahead and install the top and bottom circles to the secret door and just prop it up against the side walls until you snap the top piece on. Easy, peasy! I also read one review talking about what a pain the wires were. I glued the wires flat against one side and the side snapped in place flawlessly. (See photo). I also glued a little piece of plastic in the cauldron before I glued the crystals on. I thought it would make it look more full and was afraid you wouldn’t even see the crystals if I didn’t elevate them. I initially had a problem getting the light switch to work and after writing a review, the light switch worked perfectly! I changed my review from 4 stars to 5 because I could work out any misunderstandings with the directions. Overall, this kit was a pleasure to build and I would definitely buy from this manufacturer again!

This is legitimately the best quality book nook I have ever worked on. All of the book covers and posters were STICKERS (as opposed to having to cut and glue them on each book piece), most environment pieces had the design printed on both sides of the wood, the lighting system was friendly, and the instructions were straightforward. The kit does come with glue but I chose to use my own just for quicker setting time. The kit does come with a lot of extras in case something gets broken or if you want to customize a certain area. The turning bookshelf requires you to sand down the pieces and wax them (with materials provided) and I had to dismantle it a couple times before I sanded/waxed sufficiently, but it was fairly easy to take apart with disturbing the other pieces around it. This book nook took some time but it is one of my favorites.

Crazy easy to build and the quality of the wood was fantastic compared to other booknooks and wooden dollhouse’s I’ve purchased and assembled.

The media could not be loaded. This little book nook was so much fun to put together. The quality of the materials is surprisingly good and the level of detail makes the finished product so charming. The lighting looks really nice and is not overly complicated to put together. The directions can be a little confusing, but if you're used to building kits like this then you probably won't have trouble with it. I put this together in one day but it took me many hours, so it definitely was worth the money. Usually when I buy kits like this I put them together and then give them away to kids in my community, but I might keep this one because I kind of wish I could shrink and jump into the scene.
