Bought for my 10 year old daughter as she loves intricate crafts. She built this in about 6 hours and only needed help with a couple of pieces that needed a lot of force to push together. She has asked for more as she enjoyed it so much and felt very proud of what she had achieved. All the pieces came in pop out sheets of wood, clearly labelled and with easy to understand instructions. She loved that she had to create every book. Takes patience which I would struggle with but she loved every moment of the build. Think I should try take a leaf out of her book when it comes to patience…pun intended.
I made this over a few days with my daughter. It was fun to put together, a few fiddly bits but nothing too frustrating. The instructions were good and it came together well. I have bought other laser-cut wood kits that don’t fit together well but this is great. The small nail file for sanding any parts that are a bit tight is good. There are so many lovely details, it looks great on the bookshelf.
Teenager built this in its entirety unassisted from 25-28th Dec – only gave up on the cauldron as the curved piecing was hard to get right.
I was worried it would be poorly cut and fiddly but was delighted with how neatly all the bits popped out with no sprue or flashing.
My daughter is 12 and definitely needs someone older to help out.
All looks great now and most importantly the gift is appreciated
Definitely would recommend for everyone.
Absolutely love this.
Got given this as a gift for my birthday and loved it!
Although it’s not overally easy to assumble because some parts require a fair bit off attention to detail and/or are fiddly the instructions where really clear and the attention to detail in this product is amazing. Took me quite a while to finish but that’s a good thing to be honest as it allowed for all the detail that’s involved 🙂
If I had to pick fault with anything it’d be that there wasn’t any glue but other than that everything was so well thought out, all of the wires are hidden and even the blurbs are on some of the books!
Highly recommended and great fun. On to the next one.
I like constructing these book nooks, this one was a lot more glue together than click together but still a good project. Only down side was the advertised dust cover wasn’t in the box so dropped the score to 4 stars.
I really liked the look of this kit, it was easy to put together with a detailed instruction book, it took a while to work out the lighting, which is really bright. There are many small parts which need patience to extract from the wood panel without breakages, although they do give extra for the really small parts, I managed to build the kit without any breakages. I’m so pleased with this book nook which is beautiful when lit.
The down side to my kit is when it arrived the box was unsecured so the front dust cover was missing, one of the glass bottles was broken and another had a crack, having said this these parts were not a major issue.
This isn’t the greatest in terms of quality, mainly when it came to the instructions, often with blurry letters and a couple of missed steps.
However, I had no trouble finishing it and had a lot of fun doing it. A bit fiddly at times but that’s just part of the experience! Looks so good.
Things to keep in mind:
It’s wood! So be super careful popping out tiny pieces, but you can fix with some glue. The table is the most delicate – Take the time to sand down rough edges from where pieces were attached and shade in with a brown pencil to make it seamless where it will be seen, worth the extra time!
Get a pritt stick, some superglue and wood glue so you have options for different parts, you’ll soon get to grips with what glue works best for different parts (ie pritt stick for the books, superglue for the furniture etc) when working on a piece of furniture reference how it will be seen when finished to help with positioning and making sure the “good side” is seen from the front 🙂
Honestly enjoyed making it so much! Hope this helps someone giving it a go!
What I used:
Electric nail file (for sanding) or nail file
Brown pencil or crayon
Pritt stick
Superglue – essential
Wood/all purpose glue – essential
Sharp scissors – essential
Toothpick for rolling the papers
Tweezers
Tape
Orange stick/skewer
Tupperware to keep loose parts in like the books
Batteries for the lights
A lot of patience!
