CRIOLPO Book Nook Kit - DIY Doll House Booknook, Book Nook Miniature Kit for Bookshelf Doll Houses for Adults Teen Halloween, 3D Wooden Puzzle Bookends with Sensor Led Light

I loved this project, it was such a pain but it was so fun. It took me about 7-10 hours start to finish. 100% would purchase again but a few notes: - you absolutely need to get a good quality model glue. I got one that was a little more on the thick side and it worked amazingly. It does not come with glue, but you need something serious that sets fast. - putting the books together is the longest and most tedious part. I read the reviews that mentioned this before I purchased it, and they were 10,000% correct. Don’t rush it, do them one group at a time, but also realize most of them are pretty well hidden, so if you have some problems they’ll be unnoticeable in the final piece. - I probably made it much harder on myself but I think it made a difference to sand and use a brown sharpie on the edges of the pieces once they were stuck together. I think it made the finished product more cohesive and the ends blend much better together. - there is quite a bit of room for error on the smaller parts, however the box itself is a nightmare if you don’t fit it correctly the first time. I would suggest, when you get to that stage, play with putting the walls together before you glue the base and first wall down. The bond on the glue I used is very strong, and I didn’t realize how difficult being a little off would make the end of the model to put together. Overall: I would buy this again. For the amount of time it took and how pretty and nice the finished product came out i couldn’t be happier. I got it on sale? I think. But even at full price it’s worth it if you’re looking for a long project.

Photos are from the middle of the construction. My entire family found putting this together entertaining. It is NOT what I would consider something that you will put together quickly, but it is easy. The instructions are clear and mostly accurate. Very few mistakes. I found one while still putting together the books, but it was obvious and you just apply common sense and you'll get it right. So you start off putting together the books and then taking those books and making piles of books. Just stay with the instructions and it will make sense later. Then you start making furniture. It seems like getting through the first three pages takes so long, but then things start moving along faster. We used two types of glue: wood glue for gluing together wood-to-wood pieces and we used regular Elmer's glue for sticking the paper labels and book covers to wood pieces, etc. The way we did it was that we (as a family of four) would start gluing things together until we need to wait for them to dry and then we went back to gluing things together again. It took us about 3-4 days, visiting the project a few times a day, to complete it. It looks great. We are very happy with the project and it looks great in our library. It functions well. I was happy because I bought one from a different company that marketed on Facebook a few years ago and I was completely ripped off. This product from CRIOLPO, turned out to be good.

a little expensive but fun build..looks great

This booknook is so much fun to build. The details are just beautiful and the style is just what a library should be. Pros: details are lovely, color is very warm, overall easy to build, wonderful look. Cons: this kit does not come with a music box, but there are a big winder hole and screw holes in the back; this kit has difficulty fitting in the back (which I found in two separate kits, one I made and one a seasoned miniaturist made) so there is a slight gap in the back; the lights are exposed and not well-covered which I rectified by making my own "light fixture" and building it into the ceiling; I used a standard, Swiss-made musical movement, but it was slightly too large and required some customization; the lights are on a sensor instead of a touch switch...I ended up bypassing the sensor and just using the on/off switch in the back; the ugliest book configurations are put in the front, with the coolest ones put in the back - that made no sense to me; the trim on the back bookcases could not be put in by the diagram as they were blocked by the stacks of books made. But, realistically, all the cons were dealt with, and mine turned out just lovely. I put my own music box in - Rachmaninoff's Rapsody on a Theme of Paganini, and it's just wonderful!

Bought for my husband. He absolutely loved it!! Some pieces broke during placement. But nothing a little glue didn’t fix. Instructions were very detailed. And it came out amazing.

I purchased this as a gift. It took well over the stated 2-4 hours (more like 7+) and there were 2 of us working together. The directions are not logical in some spots which made the process very frustrating as did the small parts as some broke during installation. In the end we did get it together and when it works it is very cool and will look good on her book case but we ended up not using many of the parts. I would not buy this again (or another set like this)

This is my first book nook that i have put together and i really enjoyed it! My only disappointment is that there was no glue with the kit, but that could have been my mistake in thinking that glue came with it.

This is my third book nook and I think I'm addicted. Haven't managed to start it yet but the instructions seem easy to follow and all the bits are good quality and labelled accordingly. Can't wait to add it to my bookshelf collection.

Magnifique book nook pour mettre dans la bibliothèque. Difficile à construire, cependant. Attention : la colle n'est pas inclus et je vous recommande de prendre de la glue ou colle à bois pour certains éléments (c'est noté dans le mode d'emploi qu'il faut coller certains éléments).

Dieses Book Nook ist sauber verarbeitet und gut durchdacht. Die Einzelteile passen präzise zusammen, und die Anleitung ist verständlich aufgebaut. Der Zusammenbau erfordert logischerweise etwas Zeit und Sorgfalt, aber es macht insgesamt viel Spaß. Das LED-Licht funktioniert zuverlässig und setzt die das ganze am ENde optisch ansprechend in Szene. Ergänzt unser Bücherregal hervorragend.

Precioso, ideal para tener horas de entretenimiento

Pilligt men både roligt och enkelt att sätta ihop. Står jättefint i min bokhylla nu.
