Minicity Book Nook Kit, DIY Miniature Dollhouse Booknook Kit, 3D Wooden Puzzle Bookend Bookshelf Insert Decor with LED Light for Teens and Adults(Beyond Library Max)

Came with everything you need to assemble, glue, tweezers, tape to secure the wiring and a small sanding strip though we didn’t need this. Only needs 2x AAA batteries (not supplied).All the parts fit together very well and secure. Even comes with some spare wooden parts for fragile or very small items like the dinosaur.All the parts are wood, the printing is quite detailed and you can easily identify some of the small books. The glue takes a little bit of time to set (maybe 20-30 mins to stop sliding around), so when gluing some of the books it’s best to do in small batches.Be prepared to apply stickers to about 260 small books!Glad it comes with a clear dust cover as it would not be easy to keep clean otherwise.The instructions could be clearer in some areas but are enough to get the job done with lots of colour pictures that match the model.Bought as a gift for my wife who’s an avid reader and she loves it, we had lots of fun assembling it and couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Probably took 8-10 hours spread across a week.

Well packaged, clear instructions and includes glue, tweezers, small file and a tiny hammer for stubborn parts. The parts were easy to remove from their mounts and some extra parts are included for the more delicate ones that are easy to accidently break. The included lights work well and are nice and bright. Looks fab on my bookshelf.

I had waited some time for the perfect book nook to come along, and I think we have now reached perfection with the Beyond Library Max! It's 'literally' perfect. All of human enlightenment and discovery packed into one box.And it is 'beyond' in so many meta ways than just being a library that sits within a library. There are so many little elements of attention to detail, and hidden features to this set that I found it taking much longer to assemble than I first expected, because I was constantly stopping to check the molecular correctness of the double helix, the choice of philosopher for the bust, the anatomy of the T-rex skeleton, the medieval parchments...By the time I got around to assembling the hundreds of book covers, my eyes were starting to strain making out the various titles. There are a few hidden surprises in there, like contemporary works of boy wizards and teenage vampires, plus many literary classics. Even the overt nod to 'All the Young Dudes' was cute....I did hit on what I thought was a pretty obvious criticism...the very well made crystal etched globe has Earth's continents back-to-front. However, I think even this detail is intentional, as the globe is illuminated from behind, so it brings the map of the world into correct orientation through refraction...these are the sorts of attentions to detail that I live for!As for the build quality, I simply can't fault any part of it - the wood, stickers, plastic, even the glue....everything is the highest quality that a set like this demands. They even throw in a nail file should anyone want to get pedantic, and file-off all the tiny lumps from the wood etching process. Also, it turned out that having spare parts was a must for me, as I snapped the dino backbone on first attempt at assembly.To sum up this set, it is the perfect crafting kit for those with patience, a keen academic mind, a love of detail, and a desire to create something worthy of display. It took me four fairly long sessions to assemble, so I'd say something like 15-20hrs to do it justice.And hopefully a lifetime to admire.

I thoroughly enjoyed building this. The diagrams were clear and everything was really easy to pop out. I loved making all the little books. And arranging them. The lighting kit was easy to install and it looks fantastic on my book shelf.Two very small negatives for me - the printed outer was upside down. But as it is on the shelf between books and cannot be seen, it’s not that big of an issue.The second thing would be that I would like a little more creativity. Why couldn’t the telescope we more round - tube like - than flat? I would just have liked to made or built a few more items. I’ve made up another kit Sam’s study which was much more involved, cutting out leaves and colouring flowers. It doesn’t have to be that detailed but that’s what I like.Regardless- it was a great kit and I hope to do another soon.

A truly amazing gift that my friend absolutely loved. It's very good quality and there is so much detail that you could spend hours looking at it and still keep finding new things.It's very fun to build and there were no missing parts.In terms of value for money I really couldn't ask for much better.

I have made several 'nook books' recently and this is both one of the most challenging and the best made. I am only part way through the build but have yet to face an issue. The mortice and tenon joints are accurate and work smoothly. Thus far I have no had to use abrasive or glue, although that is supplied. I am very happy with this make.

The media could not be loaded. I really enjoyed putting together this model! The end result was fantastic 😁 extra pieces were provided for some of the smaller bits which are more prone to breakages which was handy. The glue which was provided with my kit was great, and it had a fine nib for easy application. Fixing the lights in place was also easier than I was anticipating, and I like that it has a touch pad on the outside of the casing to activate the lights. It probably took me about 10-15 hours overall (putting the covers on the books was probably one of the most time consuming parts, but strangely therapeutic haha), but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
