Book Nook Kit DIY Miniature House Dollhouse Bookstore

CuteBee does it again!!! This turned out beautifully, had amazing details, and it was challenging! As a musician I really appreciated the instruments and all the little tributes to classical composers, Vinyl Records and of course recognizable book covers. This was only my 2nd book nook project, and was definitely more difficult and time consuming than the Owl Bookstore. I wouldn't recommend this one if its your first time! However, with lots of patience and creative maneuvering I was able to complete this in a total of about 9-10 hours. (I worked on this in several sittings). Lots of glueing involved, so I recommend having some tacky glue on hand as it works perfectly and dries fairly quickly. I also suggest tweezers; there are incredibly tiny parts to this set that were difficult to place. There was only one item that I managed to break myself, but fortunately it wasnt exactly needed and I covered the space with a book. The wire lighting gets me on these, and it was awkward during the build, but it all came together in the end! Overall Im very happy with it and Im excited to start my next project! These sets are great quality, sturdy, and snap together very nicely!

Pretty straight forward assembly and came out very nice! I’m going to get all the Japanese ones to complete my shelf now. There were some odd things though I included in a video. The instructions skip 40-42 but I noticed they were on the very back. That was definitely not how it was meant to be. You do have to be careful when sanding as the parts chip very easily but maybe I’m too aggressive. I also really love how easily accessible the battery back is for when you need to replace batteries. Despite some issues, I still rate it 5 stars since it was higher quality compared to other kits I’ve done.

Absolutely perfect build. I’m sure that this would be beautiful without the add ons; however, I added on several things so my build does not Look like the pics. It went together easily, I didn’t have to walk away and come back, very clear instructions.

Very fun to build. Quality is 5/5 (the pieces are so solid. I didnt need to use the extra parts at all but again just take your time and use the tools as suggestedin the tip.), difficulty is 4/5 (i wouldnt do this as a beginner.). I do suggest using double sided tape (had left overs from other kits) to stick on the windows vs using glue. It's much cleaner. Love this kit so much. I've build so many and this is now my favorite piece. Thinking of buying the Kyoto Snow now. I hope Cutebee comes out with new Japanese kits like this.

Overall, a great kit, but some parts of the instructions were unclear and confusing. This kit took well over 4 hours to complete.

Love this! I do wish the swinging doors stuck better together so I did leave those off

I've been making models from lots of media for quite a while. These are so fun because they snap into place and the directions are easy to follow. They are not like the older ones where the directions are confusing and everything has to be glued and folded and rolled up and looks like a craft project.

Good quality love cutebee

Great building experience, great details, highly recommend

Ce kit de coin livre Cutebee est une véritable invitation au voyage et à la patience. C'est l'activité idéale pour s'évader du quotidien tout en créant un objet de décoration unique et poétique. Le montage de la Sakura Japanese Kimono Shop est une expérience immersive qui demande de la minutie. Les pièces en bois découpées au laser s'emboîtent avec une précision satisfaisante, et le souci du détail dans les petits accessoires de la boutique est impressionnant. C'est un passe-temps gratifiant qui occupe plusieurs heures sans que l'on voit le temps passer. Une fois terminé, l'éclairage LED transforme votre bibliothèque en une ruelle japonaise miniature, apportant une ambiance chaleureuse et magique à votre intérieur. C'est un projet stimulant qui allie bricolage, patience et esthétisme.

Timely delivery and good condition. A delight to assemble and gaze into

I really enjoyed this kit! worth every penny.

As a beginner, it was great piece of mind to use a well recognized, widely sold brand. At 359 pieces, this victorian shop kit was a bigg level up from my other sets. It's definitely possible to do it as a beginner, but it might be better with some experience. I can attest that all pieces and instructions were accounted for and described clearly. This set has a lot of small pieces, and so I wouldn't recommend for children because dexterity is a must! This is patient craftwork, and is perfect for those who like guided crafting, jigsaw puzzles, where there is a clear outcome....adults, teens, solo or together. This actually works really great as a pair craft, and would be great for quiet time in the evenings, or cottage-type hangouts. For me, I chose to break it up and work on it little by little...this wouldn't be a one session project. It was therapeutic for me to get off my phone and just make something with my hands, and have a break from my mind while going through a breakup. If this is you too, I would recommend!! The Victorian dress shop is so elegant.... It reminds me of a Victorian dollhouse but bursting alive with so many details to discover and make, even without dolls to play with. It is feminine through and through, and every piece, I was oohing and aahing over how cute it was. Please note: I have reviewed a couple kits from this brand, so some comments may be similar to my comments on other sets.
