I absolutely love this! Challenging enough for the minor details, but also fun. I really enjoyed putting it together. Very simple, easy to follow instructions and details. Very beautiful end result. Few things to note that you will need for proper assembly (see photo): Glue: I used fabric glue and regular glue stick. I prefer the fabric glue because it’s thick enough not to run (like the super glue). The glue stick that kids use at school was great for assembling the books and papers for the desk. Scissors: cutting the books covers out. Unless you have a really fine paper cutter. This took a lot if time. I recommend keeping the wooden book pieces as a whole and glue the books covers cover one at a time and snapping them off once the paper is glued on. I found it was easier this way Wood marker: I used this to color in the attachment edges. When the pieces snap off, they have a different color where they were attached to the wood sheets. This way the color is the same actoss the edges. Not necessary for most of the pieces, but may look nicer. Tape. Use clear tape to keep the light cord in place. They did provide some sticker tape, but wasn’t sure where I was supposed to use this. AAA batteries are needed and not included. I recommend this product. It was fun to build and beautiful finished product. Read more
Wonderful product very fun to assemble and the instructions were great!! It was well made and all of the pieces were very detailed, nothing looked odd or out of place! All of these style of puzzles are a bit tricky due to smaller parts and interference connections, however it was very straight forward. Read more
I wasn't sure what to expect from this product - so many tiny pieces, a 24 page instruction booklet, 48 steps for assembly. But what a pleasant surprise! The pieces are well-contructed, fit together firmly and easily, are extremely well-marked, and the instructions are excellent. Not everything needs to be glued, and the instructions do indicate whenever glue is needed. I rarely post reviews, but felt this one deserves it. Read more
This was super fun to put together. I didn’t find it difficult but it’s definitely a puzzle for older teens and adults. My biggest issue was with the plastic sheets for the windows. One window, the plastic didn’t want to stay curved no matter how many times I glued it and waited for it to cure, as you can see the cloudy one in the photos. Speaking of which, this kit didn’t come with glue like some others I’ve gotten so make sure you get some when buying this puzzle in particular. Some of the pieces ended up breaking when I took them out so I had to fix them, but it was only a one or two. Overall it’s very cute and will make an excellent addition to my home decor. Read more
This is one of the cutest little model buildings, especially because my mother was Mrs Hunt, AND she loved baking. Loved seeing the pretzels also, because she grew up in Bavaria, Germany. This was perfect for my husband to build. Took him several days, 2-5 hours each. He totally took his time. It's not very hard to put together either. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Very cute and well made pieces. Comes together fairly easy with clear instructions. This was a lot of fun to put together and would make a great gift! Read more
If your buying book nooks I highly recommend this company. I’m on my 4th project. Pieces are made well but you still need patience as pieces can break. The instruction book is fantastic as far as easy to follow. Read more
Second book nook I’ve put together and it was really fun! Instructions were clear, all parts fit, but the stickers were a bit excessive to put on. DOES NOT COME WITH GLUE (my first book nook did so I assumed it was standard) and I used Gorilla Glue since that’s all I had and it worked great, but I’m sure regular super glue does great also. Just want to add that the curved/slotted wooden pieces were tricky and they felt like they could easily break if not handled properly. I didn’t break them thankfully, but I felt close to it. A helpful tip is if the piece doesn’t easily connect to each other, triple check the instructions to make sure it’s the correct pieces. I misread a few details and accidentally forced pieces together (specially the couch), but I was able to remove and redo the steps with ease. Read more
