Book Nook Kit Cat Miniature House Kit - Count Cat's Study | DIY 3D Wooden Puzzles for Adults Booknook for Beginners Mini Building Kit Gift for Women Book Lovers

As an art lover, I truly appreciated the level of detail in this Kit. The tiny pieces are beautifully designed and thoughtfully crafted. Every little element adds character, and you can tell a lot of care went into the design. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the whole process enjoyable instead of frustrating. Putting it together honestly made me feel like a miniature architect or engineer, carefully assembling a tiny world piece by piece. If you enjoy hands-on creative projects and love intricate details, this kit is incredibly satisfying. Highly recommend

My wife loves these puzzles. They go together fairly easy but due to some of the parts being a little fragile I suggest its for someone experienced in 3d puzzles or for older folks. It's a nice size that fits on your average size shelf. I love giving these as a gift. They are beautiful, well thought out, precise and detailed. These puzzles are a great gift and worth the price

Fun! If I’m inspired to purchase another one, it deserves 5 stars. Sturdy heavy weight wood sheets make it easy to punch out the tinier pieces without breakage. Instructions were more like 4 out of 5 as there were a couple unclear issues with installing the light. Easy enough to connect wires and works fine but the picture quality and instructions weren’t specific on which side to attach/glue and I had my doubts about the touch pad working thru the wood(it does). The tiny clip positioned to hold the wires in place is a little too close to the printed power button to get it positioned as intended but still works. There’s a channel you build down the back corner after installing the light intended to run the wires but the instructions don’t tell you to do that. Then there’s a back wall panel at the bottom you install that has a tambour(bendable like a roll top desk) that covers a small cubby that looks like maybe intended for the battery pack but it doesn’t fit so I used that to bring the wires out and the battery pack just sits behind. Beside the light, went together great and have already ordered another.

I bought this for a friend, and she sent me pictures of the finished product. She loved putting it together. She said it was so cute that her mom wants one now!

So I have always wanted one of these book nooks, but I was initially disappointed when I realized that you had to assemble them yourself. I love arts and crafts, but I hate puzzles, I hate tedious little tasks with small objects, and I hate having to assemble things with a set of directions. I do enough of that for practical purposes. Why would I want to do that for fun? However, the more I learned about them, the more intrigued I became about putting one together. I really enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts while I cook, etc. so I thought it might be fun to try it. I’m so glad I did! I listened to the 2016 BBC Radio drama reading of Jane Eyre, and went to work lol. This was my first book nook, and it took me about 4 to 4.5 hours to put it together. It was actually easier than I thought it would be, however I do have a few leftover pieces that I could never figure out where they went. Wherever they were supposed to go, it didn’t seem to matter much. If I had, had more spare time, I would have searched the instructions and sample pictures more carefully, but I had already spent 4 hours working on it, and was ready to get it finished. I will say, I’m a little disappointed that the outer structure is not made more durable. The whole thing is cardboard, and because you have to put it together, take it apart, and then put it together again to make sure all of the bigger pieces fit properly, it would be easy to hollow the little pieces of cardboard out that fit into the holes. It’s very delicate. Keep away from small children, if you want to keep it in one piece. I’m actually a little nervous about stacking books on either side of it. Recommendations: I learned the hard way that you definitely need to purchase some clear craft glue for it. I purchased white, and while it isn’t as visible once it dries, I still would have preferred to use clear glue, because I could have glued the pieces together more efficiently. Once you have most of it assembled, and are certain you won’t have to take it alert again to work on it, I would actually recommend some super glue, so it will hold better. I also purchased a pair of craft tweezers, but that was a waste, because I ended up not even needing to use them. I found the instruction booklet to be very colorful and easy to read, however. There were a few areas that were really confusing, and I ended up having to style it in my own way in a few places. It still looked nice, but I wish the instructions had been a little more clear. All in all, I definitely recommend it!

I have been wanting to do one of these book nooks for ages, and finally settled on one and put it on my wish list. Well, no one got it for me, so I decided to just go for it. I am so glad I did, and also concerned, because now I need more. I had tried one other miniature thing before (a tiny greenhouse with paper plants), and I have to say that this one blows it out of the water. All of the wood pieces popped easily out of the boards, and they snap together so snuggly, I am not at all worried about it falling apart. The one problem I had with the wood was on the cauldron, as the sides are meant to bend, but I snapped one in half. It ended up not making any difference, as I just put the empty space in the back (the cauldron was also the most difficult thing to put together in general. It was definitely easier to use glue). Most of the paper pieces are actually stickers, which made so much of the work go SO much faster. The way all the shelves go together is pretty cool, and makes it so you don't need glue, except to glue them in place once they're built. The kit does not come with glue, or tweezers (which would have been a helpful tool), but there is a little tool that punches out like the wood pieces that you can use to help punch out the smaller pieces. Many of the smaller pieces came with extras in case of breakage. When it comes to the instructions, well, they are pretty good considering, but I do think a few things were missing. I never figured out where I was supposed to put each light, and how to attach the touch sensor. It does work through the floor, but then you can't put the plexiglass on the front. So I threaded mine out the front, and taped it to the side, and used an extra frame piece and sticker to cover it up. A few tips: don't punch out the parts until you need them, have several square feet of workspace to spread out (I did not, and kept losing things), and get a narrow-tipped glue to work with. I was just using super glue, which worked fine, but it was messy because it didn't have a tip. I bet a lot of the stuff would work with like, glue dots or glue tape as well. I did as much of the small parts that didn't require glue first, then put the glued stuff together, but this did mean I was flipping back and forth a lot in the instruction book. All told, it took me about 5 hours to put together, and I am pretty happy with it.

Fun build! High quality pieces and easy to follow instructions. Definitely worth the price!

I’ve been wanting one of these book nooks for ages and I finally caught a sale on Prime Day. Naturally I started with the Flame Common Room because I’m a Gryffindor lol. It was pretty easy to put together. You will need some super glue but most of the pieces hold without it. There’s so much detail and it’s ridiculously cute. I’m especially glad that it’s obviously HP but it’s not supporting that awful TERF. Because I love alllll my sisters not just my cisters! 🖤🩶🤍💜🥰 ETA: I’ve done the Nebula Common Room now too so I’m adding pics of it and the two together. As soon as the other two go on sale I’ll finish the set.

This is great . Challenging to put together, but that's what I wanted.

My wife had a blast building it. Careful of small parts like the neck of the violin/cello though.

Perfeito ! Ótima qualidade

I've made kits before and this one by far is more user-friendly. First of all the lights are already put together, so you don't have to strip any wires and connect anything yourself. Secondly, the majority of pieces are all pre-painted, so you don't have to cut and paste any images onto the wood, which can look messy. The pre-painted pieces give a much cleaner final product. It does have some small pieces that you need to be careful with, but they do include backups of the fragile ones in case you accidentally break a piece. The pieces all fit together nicely, just make sure you follow the instructions about which pieces to connect first. Overall, I really enjoyed this book nook and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Super cute and detailed. The lights are an added touch when they're displayed on my bookshelf. My daughter and I craft together as a joined activity and these book books are actually our favorites. Highly recommend!
