CUTEBEE Book Nook Kit - DIY Miniature House Kit for Adults and Teens, Dollhouse Booknook Tiny House Model Build Bookshelf Decor, Gifts for Family, Friends

The media could not be loaded. 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!!!

I ordered this a couple of years ago and I am ashamed at how long it took me to finally put it together. It looks like the listing has updated since, but this book nook is so high quality and the instructions are SO easy to follow. It feels more like a craft than a puzzle but was really fun, regardless! I love how detailed the pieces are and the scene is so refined.All of the pieces are laser cut to perfection. I really don't know who originally thought of book nooks, but I have some serious respect. From start to finish, the activity was really well thought out.I did use a bit of wood glue in mine to make it sturdy but otherwise I would say the kit came with everything you need! Will definitely be browsing for another 😍

I bought this for my wife because she enjoys this type of activity. The material is of good quality, and it came with all the necessary pieces. The manual was easy to follow, and the final result looks quite impressive.

So the ad above says, "Influencer Tested." Friends, do you really care about what these people say or do? Really? If so, then you need to get a life, step far away from that nonsense, and be your OWN influencer upon you, your children, and your children's children!Influencers only influence me to be more influential with not paying any attention to who they are or what they do. I am my own person. Besides, "influencer" is a ridiculous word to describe the majority of them, who are social media addicts and/or attention zealots that have no life, no money, no career, and a permanent residence in their parents' basements. What they really need is a bit of counseling and some influence of their own to do something constructive with their time left on earth. Something that is truly meaningful beyond their own selfish and unforgiving cravings of popularity and greed!That being said, this book nook kit is fun and goes together fairly well with some drawbacks that I will mention in a moment. As these types of hobby kits are concerned, I have done many of them, and the Train Mystery Case is a higher-grade one in comparison.SCALE''''''''''''''1 Star - Terrible2 Stars - Bad3 Stars - So-so4 Stars - Good5 Stars - Excellent1. Ease - 2 Stars: You need to have done these before. There are many small parts, and the instructions leave a LOT to be desired. BE WARNED: It is definitely NOT for newbies! You must have patience and time. NOTE: I am a disabled, war-time veteran and have plenty of time to play around with something like this.2. Construction Quality - 4 Stars: While the material is strong, there are some extremely long, thin pieces. One broke in half when removing it from the laser-cut wood slat during my build. I recommend using an Exacto knife for safe, unmitigated extraction.3. Fun - 4 Stars: Though challenging, Train Mystery Case was gratifying. I enjoyed it. However, you must have your OWN glue* and sandpaper. The small file that comes with it is a joke.4. Sturdiness - 3 Stars: It CAN be stable, but you absolutely must use glue, even where it doesn't indicate that it is required. *For areas that require durability, like support spots, I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09SHL4G65/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. And for non-bolstering areas, in order to maintain strength for years to come, I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B0EXNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=15. Overall - 4 Stars: CUTEBEE and FILIJOY seem to be the same company, and their products appear to be steeped in a reasonable attempt at quality. To a degree, they succeed here! Aside from the noted issues above, I can recommend this build for an amusing and challenging time!
