Beautiful and delicate.
A moment outside of time that's good for your mental health, and a bookshelf turned into an art gallery.
Highly recommend!
I spent 5 and a half hours on this project and I genuinely loved it from start to finish.
My head emptied of every negative thought and left room for such a beautiful result. It looks great on my bookshelf.
A real pleasure building these little houses. This is my 2nd, so it's already easier, I've picked up some habits! It's beautiful, precise, well explained! A treat 😁
Beautiful book nook, fascinating to build, completely absorbing, I didn't notice the time passing. The result looks beautiful on the bookshelf! I'm dreaming of ordering a second one.
A great activity. My 13-year-old daughter really enjoyed it. She managed the build fairly easily, the materials are good quality and the result is just adorable!
It was her first book nook, but I know there will be others.
Very lovely details and beautiful finish.

A real treat to assemble! Very addictive! The quality of the pieces is beautiful! You never tire of looking at it once it's finished!
The dust glass gives it a superb finished quality!

Very good first experience with this book nook! The result is beautiful, even though I broke one of the pieces that didn't have a spare in the box (be careful when you assemble the teapot...). You can't tell on the finished piece!
However, contrary to what the box contents description says ("All the parts, accessories and elements needed are included in the box"), the glue is not provided. Luckily a friend had some left over, but I was disappointed to find that not everything was really included.
This book nook was my second one.
I love the finish on the pieces and the build guide is very well put together.

Hello,
My third book nook, and the one that took the most work, about 10 hours. I strongly recommend using a mallet.
Delivered in two days (really).
Very good quality, nothing to complain about.
I recommend this book nook, but maybe not for a first build.
All the best,
Philippe
