CUTEBEEBook Nook Kit - DIY Miniature House Dollhouse Kit for Adult and Teens, Booknook Bookshelf Decor Alley Model Build with LED Light, Gifts for Family and Friends

This company sells really good quality nooks! Beautifully designed, clever and artistic! Even the instruction booklet is a pleasure to read - clear, precise and informative.The pieces fit together well and they're not very delicate. They mostly fit securely, or if it's too tight a fit you just use the included emery board to take a little width off the inserting piece. I was nervous about doing "electrical work" but it all went smoothly, following the instructions step by step. The lamps are lovely, and the nook is very well-lit! I hope the bulbs last forever.I find a brown marker very useful to camouflage any filed edges on the wooden pieces. I took the liberty of adding gold and silver detail with fine markers. Be creative and customize if you want!I tried several glues, the best is Kuretake Zig 2 Way Glue Pen bc it's not too "wet" and dries quickly so you can keep going, and it works on wood and plastic as well as paper. I did find my hot glue gun useful to secure weightier pieces, but be careful not to add "bulk" where there shouldn't be. One thing to take special care with: When gluing a piece into an outlined spot, make sure to get that right! If you go over the line, it's possible that walls/floors won't fit properly. Happened to me and thankfully I was able to file an edge down to make it fit, because I would have ruined the nook if I'd ripped that big glued section off to re-glue it.I've got six more nooks waiting to be built. I can definitely recommend these Cutebee products!

Beautiful miniature kit of carved wood, lovely result! Easy to understand instructions. Some pieces even have backups. No glue in the kit.

I usually determine how difficult a booknook is depending on how many lights and wires there are. There are 5 which is very difficult. Getting thin tipped tweezers will definitely make this project easier in some parts.It is a very high quality product and the finished product is absolutely amazing. The instructions are in color which helps find the needed pieces. Some pieces are very fragile and easily broken so I greatly appreciate that they give you backup pieces. Getting a small hammer would probably be a great tool for this problem.This is my fourth booknook and one of my most difficult. There are moving parts and some pieces don't fit perfectly and needed to be glued in place. The instructions for the lights felt kind of out of order (in my opinion) and I had to disassemble the whole thing and reassemble to get the wires in the right place. I did need an extra set of hands to hold parts up so I could get the lights in place. This project uses stickers so there isn't any cutting necessary which saves on a lot of time.Overall, I did enjoy assembling it. It took me about 10 and 1/2 hours in total.SPOILER: the door and the back bookshelf move which made it a little difficult but overall added to the project's charm

I am a huge HP nerd and Gryffindor is my house so this was a great booknook! It’s simple to make, majority of it snaps together with only a bit needing glue. My only issue with this set is that the lights are terrible. You can’t see them at all. In a pitch black room you can barely see the fireplace light. Can’t even see the other 2. That is how dull the lights are. And yes my batteries are not old or duds. I tested them. I’ll include a picture but the camera even makes the light look bright than it is in person

I compared this product with a magical library book nook by a different brand, and this one was my favorite by far. The instructions were easy to follow. Images were printed directly onto the wood. There were some stickers for smaller pieces to put on. I would use this seller again.What I didn't like was that it didn't come with any glue or tweezers (to hold in place a few small parts while gluing). However, that's not a big deal. I also had trouble determining where the sensor was supposed to go so that one can light up the box. I ended up leaving it hanging outside the top edge of the box for easy access. Other than that, this kit was fun to put together. The details were all enjoyable.

This was my second book nook and it was really fun and easy to do. The instructions were good and everything worked as expected. I have also done the Nebula Common Room and I think I like that one better, but still, this was cute.

Beautiful detail, easy assembly and gluing, quality was awesome, and so worth the money! Light weight and medium size. Thank you

This piece took me a total of 9 hours to build. The instructions were pretty good, but sometimes with the lighting I couldn't really tell what to do. When that happened, I would just mess around with it until it looked correct or worked. Note with the light "touch piece" make sure that it is facing up and connects with the little white light button on the top. That way your lighting will work. Even though the directions have that listed, it is not clear at all and that was a piece I had to adjust until it worked. The people are quite flimsy (some more than others) so be really careful adding them, especially the one on the balcony that is carrying water or something on a stick. That piece is incredibly fragile and I broke the first one and the back-up so just be sure that you use tweezers when adding the people. Also, glue will be needed and it doesn't come with the set. It does come with a very small file, and I did use it a few times. Otherwise, this set went together with no problems and it is so cute. Love it!

loved the product, and would like to purchase another but it is out of my budget .

instructions good. enough spare parts. good quality

I've done 2 of these and I cant wait to get started on this one. They're so detailed and well constructed I have never had a warped board or defective connection. Its a real pleasure to put these together and watch it grow. Have fun!!
