I honestly couldn't believe what I was looking at
I have done well over 100 3D wooden mechanical models/kits with another 30+ left to do. I also have well over 60 Book Nook kits and finished close to or a little over 30 of them already. Since starting to do the Book Nooks, I have realized many important things. But 1 of them stands out as The most important to me ... MiniCity is by far the best company for these kits out there. They not only think up some incredibly crazy and beautiful designs that take your breath away, they also take great care in making their products. They do that by using really good materials and are strictly firm on the fact their customers receive the utmost positive experience and make sure to give any assistance possible. I own all but 1 of their kits and their "Beyond Library" is an unbelievable design and kit. Truly amazing!! (I will try to get my pics up very soon.) When I received it and opened it up, I honestly could not believe what I was looking at! The thought and care that was put into this kit is incredible. The material used is updated and crazy good. This update helps you see what part number goes to what without needing a foglight and magnifying glass as most do! I honestly just cannot say enough good about it. Now, there might be a hiccup that you come across with any kit you do if you are a perfectionist. Unfortunately, because of the job(s), I had to do for a couple of people, I've become one and it is not an easy thing to "grow out of". So, with that said, I needed to step back and think ... "Would you Really see that when you look into the book nook after it is completed?" If the answer was "No". I let it go. Easy to do. However, if you do come across an issue, I strongly suggest you reach out to MiniCity before you do anything else. They WILL make it right. They truly do care.I will give you a warning here:If you are new to doing Book Nooks, do Not start with this one! It has many more fragile pieces than others and that mainly has to do with the amazing plastic step guards they created for this kit, as well as other items. And like most Book Nooks, you MUST take your time and PAY attention!! If you are someone who does not have much patience, You WILL make a mistake and/or break something. If you are not able to concentrate on what you're doing, you WILL make a mistake and/or break something. If you are someone who just likes instant gratification? Get a 30-piece puzzle and call it a day. HAHA. Almost every book nook I've come across, and I have well over 60 of the book nook kits alone, and this one in particular, demands your time, patience, and care. Otherwise, you really shouldn't try to do them. Unless, of course, you don't mind throwing away your hard-earned money. If that is the case, have at it!!Overall, if you are looking for something truly amazing to work on and to look at afterward, I Strongly and Highly recommend this kit! You'll not only be glad, but anyone you show it to will also be amazed.Pics coming soon.

Wow, as a miniaturist I am VERY impressed!
This book nook is beyond exceptional. I have been a miniaturist for over 10 years. I have built a lot of doll house kits as well as made my own from scratch. I decided to build a book nook kit for my grandson for his birthday. At the same time I built the MiniCity Library, I worked on a Rolfe Time Travel Kit and Marycele Secret Castle Kit. After working on all three within the same week, hands down MINI CITY IS A FAR SUPERIOR PRODUCT.The pieces are quality MDF. They pop out easily, need minimal sanding if any and all printed images are clear and in line with the pieces. The book covers are stickers with readable images and font. The books are precut wood and easy to assemble. The other thing I liked about this book nook is the pieces often lock together which creates support. One of the first steps s the lights which are already connected and ready to go, you just need batteries. I appreciated this, since I have built a book nook, only to struggle with lights at the end. Not fun.I also appreciate the glue that was included. E7000 Glue has been my biggest struggle with these and now that I have used the provided glue, I will use it on all other kits.The dust cover really adds a nice finishing touch. I truly enjoyed this experience of making this. It took 12 hours, I had so much fun I couldn't stop until it was done!My only negative experience is it showed up later than expected. I want to be clear that the shop shipped it very timely, but it showed late delivery for over a day and nothing else so I ordered a second. (This is a gift for my grandson and I hand little time to build and ship it.) The second one came late and was delivered together with the first. That was a delivery issue, not a shop issue. Also, the second is missing a two bags of parts. However, the seller is replacing it. Customer service was great, the shop cannot control the delivery driver. I 1000% recommend the shop and kit!

Buy it
I was so nervous buying this product. I am so impressed with the quality of the material. The details are so cool! Everything from the book titles to tiny rolled up posters— I was super impressed by. The directions are fairly easy to follow. My friend who is 28 and myself, I’m 33 years old, had so much fun putting it together. Not to mention that the final product looks super cute sitting on our book shelf for decoration! It probably took us about 9 hours all together to assemble.

Great gift
My granddaughter loved it as a birthday gift for her. It is very intricate but she had it done in 1 week. She loved the detail and the lighting.
