CCCDF DIY Book Nook Kit, Miniature Dollhouse Booknook Kit, 3D Wooden Puzzle Bookend Bookshelf Insert Decor with LED Light for Teens and Adults (Beyond Library Max)

A very well made book nook. There were no missing pieces and the instructions were clearly written and illustrated. There are a lot of little details in the nook to look for: telescopes, shuttle, DNA strand, ship model, and of course the dinosaur. But don't be fooled by the all the detail, this kit is simple. Only a few pieces need to be glued, most everything else just slots into place. Now some of the trim around the upper edges can take a moment to get the right order of placement so that they lock each other in. My suggestion on this kit is NOT to glue anything unless they say so or at the very end if you want to "firm" things up. It is a beautiful kit and I would recommend it for a younger crowd because of the slotting. Everything is pre-cut - even the 10 million books and covers (which are stickers). The only dress up I did to this kit was to touch up some of the individual exhibits with markers (when they were printed on only one side). I tend to dress up the edges and backs so I don't have raw wood. It is an expensive kit. Is it worth that much? It is hard to say. It was nice not to have to cut out all those books covers, etc.

This is an extremely detailed kit. if you love lego or Miniatures you will love this. My daughter spent 3 days and loved every second of it. The dino and globe make this top notch visually. When its done and you put the light on, the whole room glows. It's a great value for a super detailed product. The design of the room and kit were tip notch. Its also great they provided all the tools like the tiny hammer and tweezers.

I don't have a lot of previous experience building 3D wooden models like this, but as a book lover, I really wanted to try this one. This kit was an excellent choice. It came with everything I needed, including the glue. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The lighting works great. The T-rex was a *bleep* to put together, so I had to step away for a few minutes, take a few breaths, and come back to it. However, I won, and that was the only part that I had any trouble with. The globe in my set is etched wrong or something- the continents are mirrored/backwards, but I find it whimsical, so it doesn't bother me. I love all the tiny little details. I especially enjoyed studying all the tiny book covers. This was overall fun to put together, and I absolutely adore the finished product. This was worth the $55 I paid for it.

Fun and challenging kit. I really liked that the Amazon Driver took great care in the delivery

This DIY Book Nook Kit has officially made me a miniature world enthusiast! The attention to detail is next-level. Every tiny piece, from the intricate shelves to the endless tiny books (around 200 of them!), makes this kit feel like a real labor of love. The sticker “paper” was a pleasant surprise — it’s actually sticker-based, making assembly way easier. While I do wish the instructions were a bit clearer, the extra supplies helped keep me on track. The one hitch? The clear laminate stickers meant to hold the lights didn’t quite do the job, but a few glue dots worked like magic. Yes, assembling those books individually was a time investment, but the finished look is mesmerizing. If you’re patient and up for a creative project, this is a perfect choice — now a star addition to my bookshelf!

I purchased this on February 9th, 2025. I gave it 5 stars because I can't give it 4.5 stars. Just finished today with my brother who lives an hour away and only built it with him. I build a lot of models...plastic, wood, metal, you name it. The half star loss would be because when I received it and started to work it, it smelled REALLY EXTREMELY BAD of production chemicals, bad enough it burned my eyes and really agitated my sinuses. I set the pieces out in my unfinished basement for about 2-3 weeks to let them air out. A lot of pieces are really tiny; it can be frustrating. A LOT of the details you build with it, and there is a tremendous amount of detail in this build, in the beginning get lost in later detail. That is the bad. The good is this is such a detailed, warm model that is well manufactured, cut, imaginative and creative. It is beautiful and so full of really cool detail! The pieces fit together 98% perfectly, well-engineered, measured and cut in good, solid pieces of material that are easily identifiable with the added illustrations of what is what. The smaller pieces can be difficult, the tweezers (included) were immensely helpful; the dinosaur skeleton was a pain in the tookas and had problems with it throughout the build, my "T-Rex" was half wood, half plastic. They include duplicates of the more prone to breaking parts, thumbs up on that. Majority of the "books" were a small piece of wood with a sticker to apply and fold over it, maybe 200 of them? So cool though! Some stickers were of actual books, there was Harry Potter, Phantom of the Opera and so many more to display as you see fit in certain areas. I recommend a lighted magnifying glass and/or a magnifying headset...some of the fittings are literally a millimeter. The small glass Earth globe is beautiful and amazing. Just an enjoyable model to proudly put on your bookshelf or wherever you can safely put it. It is a TEDIUS build. Expect to put some real time into the build and (I think) visitors will really enjoy looking at it because there is SOOO much to look at. The lighting is good. No missing pieces, extras left over. I was frustrated with some of the build but overall...it was enjoyable and viewing it after completion is even more enjoyable. Have fun!

This was great fun to put together with my grandson. My only wish though is some of these kids started, including actual miniatures that they can stick in the model instead of two dimensional items.

This kit went together flawlessly. Accurate instructions and very easy to follow graphics. It is going to be an amazing Christmas gift! The pieces were all perfectly cut too!

What a beautiful product. This is the third book nook I've built, the first one of this brand. If I rated it on the beautifully elegant laser cut elements alone I would give it 5 stars. You have to be careful though. Some of the elements are so delicate that they could easily break. Be prepared to proceed slowly and with care. The kit lost a star because of the inconsistency of the fit of the various pieces. Many of the internal structural pieces fit so loosely that I ended up glueing them. If someone bumped the table they were in danger of collapsing. Most of the furniture pieces fit snuggly but a few of those required glue for stability as well. The outer shell fits together very snuggly which was something of a relief when I got there. Thankfully this kit does include glue. Despite these annoyances I would definitely purchase this item again.
