Had a lot of fun doing some modifications to this build. This was my second kit and I think I'm ready to try one of the more challenging ones. It's a really fun activity, especially during wintertime.

I love my little green house. It took me about a week to finish but I had so much fun building it. Ive never build anything like this before but the instruction was easy to follow.

I really love doing these miniature kits. I completed 5 so far. Each one has some personal customizing. Hours of open. Credit cards accepted, etc. With the ‘bakery’, I completely closed it in. It is no longer open faced.

It was interesting putting all the gears together in the beginning wondering if I needed to keep track of which one was which later. However each one was visually different. How I had to mount them was different than I expected though.
I realized I had to level it front to back as well as side to side also. My clock does run, but it wants to stop after a period of time even though the spring is still has time on it. Maybe more wax?

Loved the clear instructions and all the extra pieces. My only comment would be to indicate a test run of the mechanical part when it’s built. I had some troubleshooting with the gears near the end but all in all, loved it and the look at the end!!

I bought these for Christmas gifts this year after seeing them on Instagram several times. They were a hit! My husband spent a blissful three days immersed in putting it all together. The kits come with detailed instructions and he borrowed my craft glue and tweezers set, the latter he said made all the difference in putting many of the tiny pieces together (the chess board, the desk and bookshelf decorations, et al). We love showing it off when we have friends over! The Secret Rhythm was perfec...

These are beautiful! However, not all the pieces fit easily. I ended up buying two because I gave one for my parents’ anniversary. First one, the gears were not tight enough and they broke, so no more engine. The rod that goes thru the luggage rack doesn’t fit. I had the same issue with both. I had to use precision files to make the holes a little larger. The engine. Is a bit noisy. You recommended oil - which? Putting the larger pieces together, like the front was very hard because again, they ...

This was my 3rd Book Nook project. I built it as a present for my garden loving wife. She loves it! I thoroughly enjoyed putting it together, and will be putting more book nooks together in the near future.
They make wonderful gifts!

Really fun to build. This was my first model kit and it was pretty simple. Some bits were loose and needed glue and some bits need a real push to get in. Nothing broke though which was good. Going to buy another and keep building!

Enjoyed building this kit! Some of the fits were very challenging, but overall a nice kit.
All of the paper items had to be cut with a straight edge and razor blade, previous kits I have built the paper items came precut.

The people who organised this are the real talent. I just put it together. Although I chose to glue nearly every piece. Terrible to finish it without glue and then drop it!! 😬

So much fun and so relaxing. I worked on it for about an hour a day after work for a week. It was a great day to wind down after a long days work and so rewarding to see the final product and knowing that you did that with your own two hands. The quality is excellent, it looks amazing and I can’t wait to get more. I’ve been looking into different hobbies that I could get into. This is it.

It was fun assembling it! There are some mislabeled pieces on the instructions, but not hard to figure out. The details really captured the spirit of Jiu Fen, and I've been the a few times. Can't wait to build my next one.

At first I was worried because of the amount of pieces it came with!! However, they are labeled and strategically placed on the boards and once it started to come to life it was so fun to create! I made it for my Dad for a gift and he was blown away with how cool it is!

It’s been tough finding non-screen activities for my 13 year old to do during the pandemic. I ordered this kit for her for Christmas and it was a hit! She started work in it Christmas Day and is just about finished after diligently working a bit every day. I am so impressed with her effort, the quality of the product, and it’s ability to really entertain her. Thank you!!

This was so fun to put together! It was my first time. A few notes: put glue in a cup and use a toothpick to spread it. Works well. Also, I kept cutting the wire and ended up giving up on the lighting. But I loved it and highly recommend it!

This was such a fun way to get i to miniature building! My first piece, so I could probably have been neater with the glue. It looks lovely on my shelf and is a wonderful way to teleport away in to smaller, simpler, sweeter world. Very thoughtfully designed product and has detailed and helpful directions.

I had so much fun putting this coffee shop model together! It was my first one and I'm totally hooked. I already have another one lined up and this was a great way to alleviate stress and take a break from the various "screens" that surround me (computer, phone, TV, etc.) The instructions are very clear, the parts are high quality, and the end result is perfection. While my model didn't come with the recommended glue, I did purchase some from Amazon. I found the suggested glue to not be ideal an...

This was my second experience with this type of kit. Challenging, but if you take your time and test fit every piece before gluing, it goes together very well.
I have it on display and when company is over, I actuate the lights and just step back and listen to all of the rave reviews! Very, very impressive model display!
Looking forward to building many more of these kits!

This book nook was an absolute joy to make. The clear instructions and the fact that many parts had a backup made it very easy to put together. I hardly had to file the wood at all as the quality of the wood was so good that filing was unnecessary. The finished nook was lovely, I'm so pleased, I can't recommend this nook enough to other nook makers.

The model looked beautiful, I placed it on my bookshelf with all my books and it just captivates the eye. I enjoyed making it with my father and it has made some special memories that will always resonate with me. I especially enjoyed the fact the model had a light as it lights up the room with its imminent beauty however, we did encounter some problems when connecting the wires as they were fragile and broken easily so we had to solder it back on. We did have some other challenges such as some ...

When I saw these models advertised on Facebook I knew I would enjoy them. Because I love the classic and elegant looks of the scenes. But I'm surprised how much I enjoy assembling them! So much fun! I even love the smell of the pressed wood, or whatever the material is. And my wife is surprised as well. I told her it's my man dollhouse. The detail and thoroughness of the designs are quite impressive. It's nice to have a new hobby to relax with.

This was the first model that I have built since I was a kid, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was fun to build and satisfying to show off when finished. The quality exceeded my expectations in both finish and level of detail. I was in Asia earlier this year, and the model brought back positive memories of some of the beautiful places I visited. It's time to order my next kit. Based on the quality of the kit and of their customer service team, it will definitely be another Anavrin model.

I work long hours in a stressful environment and so I absolutely loved building this unique project! It was fun and stress free and took enough concentration for me not to worry about anything else. The pieces were beautifully crafted and the instructions were easy to follow and understand. I loved every minute of it and now it has pride of place on my bookshelf. If you’re looking at buying one, don’t even hesitate - highly recommend this lovely product!!

I loved building this with my boyfriend, but it did take a little longer than we expected but it was definitely worth it. Some pieces were a bit harder to put together but it was still definitely worth it! I would recommend using a glue gun for some of them, the glue that came with does take a bit longer to dry but still amazing!

It helps to take small breaks often to prevent burn out. Read the instructions thoroughly, or watch the how to video on you tube.
I had some mistakes here and there, but it still turned out beautifully. Can't wait for my other order to get here.

I really enjoyed putting this model together - it is a great first model to choose if you are new to modelling as there is little glueing required. The model pieces are well made and fit together with little need for trimming. You do need to be careful in selecting the right parts of the wiring harness when assembling the street lights, as glueing in the wrong wiring loom to the street light can cause some issues.

This kit, was amazing, very detailed instructions, a lot of fun to put together, and I love how you can turn the light on and off by the power lever. I'm a Navy veteran and have always been fascinated with submarines, so I was delighted to have found this kit.
Excellent built.

Easy ordering. Fast shipping. I bought as a gift and got the following reply when asked to review;
The magic pharmacist one is a solid 5/5 love it
The library one is like 3.5 or 4/5 they should have made the book covers stickers like the pharmacy one, it took forever and kinda sucked to cut them all out and glue them on individually, but that said it looks great.

Building this Nook Book was such a great experience! I had a wonderful time putting it together — it was relaxing and really enjoyable. The instructions were super clear, which made the whole process smooth and fun. What makes it even better than a regular model kit is that it turns into something truly beautiful. Now it sits on my bookshelf as a lovely decoration, and everyone who visits me notices it and asks about it
