CUTEBEE Book 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 (Bookshop Memories)

Was really fun to build. Instructions are very clear and beginner friendly. Good quality parts that connect very easily together. Results in a really cute model and the bulb inside really adds that nice touch at the end.

I was honestly surprised by the good quality of this product. Reading some people’s negatives review I was first skeptical but got completely positively surprised when opening the box. This is for people who have patience and enjoy attention to detail and a beautiful end product. The main pieces are all made out of real wood (I honestly thought it is plastic, it’s hard to tell from the pictures). Extremely detailed and ornate elements. Work with some tools like small screwdrivers and tweezers to separate them. It’s easier than it might first appear. There is a small screwdriver and even a small file included. The LED light pack is good quality and easy accessible through a door on the back. Also easy to assemble… All over the manual is easy to understand. Follow some simple steps and pay attention to all the details and u will have a great end product. I saw some negative reviews here, probably from people who don’t have the patience and blame their non succeeding on the manufacturer. People… You have to look at pictures in the manual and copy what they show you!! Dahhh it is really not that hard… There is videos on YouTube which explain everything in detail, there is tips and alternate ways to put it together. Find it all online; no reasons to blame others … Also the way the finished product looks is amazing. It’s so much better then I honestly expected for the low price. It’s Absolutely worth the price and a super fun and relaxing thing to do for a rainy/wintery afternoon. Don’t skip steps, there is a reason why they do it in that order. The only thing what I would personally change is to NOT put the lantern (literally the first step in the manual) on the wall in the beginning. Wait nearly till the end to glue it to the wall, I broke mine of multiple times (lol) while assembling other elements, BUT it was a super easy fix and nobody will ever know!! Again, super fun, Absolutely worth the money, very meditative and relaxing and a way better quality than I expected …

My husband got me this for Christmas last year and it took me a while to get to it, and I’m so upset with myself for waiting so long because I had SO MUCH FUN!!! I obsessed over this from the moment I started until it was done! I finished it in a total of about 5 days but I used pretty much every spare second I had working on it 😂 It was so therapeutic to snap all the little pieces together! You make all the small pieces bit by bit before putting it all together and each piece felt like an accomplishment! I showed my husband every little part and said “Look! I made this! It’s so realistic!!! 😃” 😂 I felt my stress levels lower so drastically as soon as I started this project! ❤️ I LOVE the finished look too! It is so magical! I actually have it sitting on my bookshelf in my library right next to my tarot card collection and it is like a little portal to another world! It added so much life to that shelf! It’s the perfect addition to any library and the PERFECT HOBBY for anyone that likes to get crafty! I loved it so much I asked him for more this Christmas 😂 My ONLY problem was the cauldron! Almost every single one of the pieces broke, and there were no extras (which was surprising considering all the little pieces that had extras included that didn’t break lol). I almost gave up and bought a miniature plastic cauldron instead, but I’m really glad I decided to get creative with what I had instead because it looks so good in the finished piece! I obviously managed it after much trial and error in the final products as it’s clearly in the video, but I had to use hair clips like wood clamps to glue a lot of the pieces back together (so if you come across this problem, that solution works GREAT! Lots of glue and a whole day to dry and the pieces are SOLID! lol) 😂 That was the only frustrating part but in the end it felt like a creative accomplishment lol 🥰 The light system is also really cute and easy to set up! I was intimidated by that but the instructions are really clear and simple, and I loved how the different wood pieces clipped around it to hold it in place or disguised it to blend in! These are perfect gifts! The price is so affordable for how much enjoyment I got out of this! Highly recommend!!!

This was so much fun! It took two days and I really enjoyed putting this together. The instructions could be a little better but other than a few steps, were fairly easy to follow. The structure is very sturdy and looks amazing! The pieces are good quality and there are backups provided for the ones that are more delicate. But I never needed to use a backup! The details in this are amazing!

Love this Cafe but, I ordered it because I did another one by this manufacturer and it was great! On this particular item some of the pieces broke easily and there were many that just didn't fit correctly. It ended up being very cute in the end but, not without some frustration. I had to glue several pieces that showed it didn't need any. Will still buy more because they are fun mini kits to do and you feel a sense of accomplishment when done!

This was the first time I put one of these together and now I can't wait to buy another. The directions were not always clear or easy to understand, and I had to go online to see how others put parts together, but I had fun none-the-less. Every piece comes on boards that you have to pop the pieces out of and assemble. The material is sturdy and good quality, and stickers have great detail. Some tinier pieces have back-up pieces in case the first one breaks. TAKE YOUR TIME POPPING OUT THE PIECES! I broke a couple of them because I wasn't paying attention; luckily it had back-ups. The attention to detail is beautiful. The lights throughout are illuminate the nook so you can enjoy all different things inside. Also read the age limit. My 12-year-old loves doing crafts with me, however, she would have gotten frustrated with this build and abandoned it because of all the little pieces and constant glueing. Also, the instructions don't tell you what you will need to assemble. Some type of glue and tape (NOT included) are required for this build. I used tacky glue, but others posted they used super glue or wood glue.

Okay this was by far one of my favorite activities. I hadn’t tried them before, but I sat there and did it within a few hours. I wish it said what to do with the tape that comes with. It’s adorable. Glue is probably helpful. Easy to get through the pieces as the labeling is apparent. Small print, but sufficient. Good quality pieces, but be gentle. I tried to file stuff, but I’m not honestly sure what I should do hahaha. If it “breaks”, it’s usually not a complete break. Sturdy and so cute!

This is a very good quality book nook kit. It’s wooden, not plastic. I did need to buy some craft glue. I really enjoyed building each of the pieces that go inside, and assembling the walls, and putting it all together. The finished book nook looks great!! I feel so accomplished!! And it looks great in the space where I chose to showcase it. I will definitely be purchasing some more of these kits. So much fun!!!
