While the final result looks great and it was fun to make, I found the instructions quite hard to understand. Fortunately, I found many helpful YouTube videos with step-by-step guides for building the train book nook. Additionally, customer service sent me a new and improved set of instructions, which was very helpful.

I got this 1940's Train Cabin book nook as a fun project to do with the family on a rainy day. I was impressed with the quality from the start. The nook is quite sturdy, and the laser-cut wood pieces fit together perfectly. If you make a mistake, just a drop of super glue works. The attention to detail is excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys puzzles or crafting.

Bought as a gift for someone so has not been made yet. Arrived fairly quickly within 2 weeks. Outer box damaged but don't think the contents are affected, time will tell. Am sure recipient will love it.

What a great Christmas gift!! I had so much fun putting this together and it is absolutely cool! I feel like a kid - I want to keep going back, turning the lights on, and just look at my beautiful book nook! Can't wait to try another one.

I bought this as a gift for my mother for Christmas. My son and I worked on it together. It was a very fun build and worked out very nicely. While I think the instructions could always be improved, (no one is as good as lego instructions)... it was VERY well planned, and parts were well made. The gift was VERY well recieved and it just looked incredible when lit up!!! VERY fun project!!

The kit arrived very promptly. I haven't started work on it yet, but have read all the instructions and look forward to the challenge of putting it all together. It's intended as a present for a friend of mine who has been to Japan and enjoyed her trip a lot. I hope the pretty book end will bring back happy memories.

It was a family affair as everybody had to pitch in varios stages of construction. It is a lot of fun but it might take a while, like 7 hours and a handy person to do it. Instructions are good but glue is not included. Have at least 2 tubs of superglue and an exacto knife to help you. Absolutely loved it, pity we did not take photos of the process and it looks gorgeous when lit. Very well made.

I was very skeptical when I first saw the ad for this, but took a chance and ordered it. After it was opened up, I was surprised by the level of quality. Will definitely be buying more in the future.

My daughter opened this as a Christmas present and looked shocked as she said that she had been wanting this. Then we both started crying. Needless to say, this beautiful gift is perfect for the right young woman like my 1/2 Asian daughter.

Great project! My daughter loved it! It definitely takes some time and patience to it them together, so no instant gratification for those of you hoping it was already assembled or it's an easy project. Lots of small parts that can break if forced as well. Overall a great model and my daughters loved them when they were finished.

The thing that was upsetting is it doesn’t come with the glue or paint and I wasn’t told to get it. So my daughter could not start on it Christmas Day.

J'ai apprécié la qualité des matériaux mais je n'ai pas réussi à résoudre le problème du sensor touch panel qui ne fonctionne pas quand je le fixe sur le couvercle. Le résultat final est presque top!

Do not be fooled—this took forever to finish! But the end result was definitely worth it. The 1940's Train Cabin book nook set by Anavrin is incredible.

I’ve always loved the quality of Anavrin miniatures, and this one is just as good. They’re fun to build, and the materials are top-notch. I’d recommend this 1940s train Cabin for teens or older. My 8-year-old son loves to help, but some pieces are a bit too delicate or hard for him. These puzzles are a great way to relax, and they look great on display. I highly recommend them.

I’m still working on this Ginzan Onsen book nook but I’m really impressed with the quality of the materials. It’s going to look great when it’s done. Be careful with the motor part though as it’s fragile. I snapped mine when pushing it in. It still looks good, though. Highly recommend!

This was a gift. The person receiving it was genuinely surprised and excited as they’d never seen or heard about it. They absolutely love it and it will take pride of place in their bookshelf.

Such a revealing visual experience, creating an engaging 3-dimensional work from flat sheets of object images, stacking them and positioning them to create depth, mass, and even a sense of movement. Some reviews made a point that the whole thing could be done in a day or two. Oh no! I only allowed myself a hour or so at each sitting so I could savor the slowly unfolding scene before me. Similarly I’m going to enjoy my Owl Bookstore for awhile before starting my next one. Thanks for the experi...

Bedankt voor jullie positieve betrokkenheid. Ik bewaar het bouwpakket tot in de donkere decembermaand en de schrale maanden daarna. Heerlijk thuis knutselen als het buiten koud en nat is. :-) Ik heb er zin in!

From the order date it was very slow in arriving and didn't arrive on the date specified. The communications from you were inept to say the least .. it just came without any email to say when it would arrive and was left in my porch all day until I arrived home from work .. although it may seem a safe place it could have easily been taken out of the porch. Poor service for such a high value product.

I have the kit to a friend who was awaiting an operation and unable to do much. It was perfect for him to be immersed in doing it taking his mind off things. My husband also did one and loved doing it.

Super smooth ordering process. Contacted customer service once to check on delivery status, and they were VERY helpful. I haven't started the project yet, but am looking forward to beginning it soon.

I've spent around 20 hours building this Train Cabin book nook last week. I must say assembling it requires patience but it was a satisfactory build in the end. My small tip is to make sure to handle the delicate pieces carefully.

The parts in the kit are tiny and require careful handling, but the end result is worth the effort. It's a delightful decorative piece once assembled, Thank you again, Anavrin!

Very wonderful. I am excited to install it with my boyfriend, but I expected that there would be a card inside it to write anything because it would be a gift for him. Thank you!

The kit is extremely well designed and the precision of the cuts is amazing. As a result the assembly went smoothly and resulted in a very clean, sturdy and beautiful model

I really enjoyed assembling the Ginzan Onsen book nook kit! The graphics are fantastic, and the theme is super fun—I love the way it all came together. While most pieces fit nicely, a few were slightly loose, but with a bit of glue, everything held perfectly. Overall, it’s a great kit, and I’m very pleased with the result!

These kits from Anavrin are awesome! If you love detailed projects, this is perfect for you. It adds a ton of fun to any bookshelf. The box and finished piece are super cute, and everything is high quality. All the parts were there too! Makes a great gift!

This was the toughest build I've done so far, and I really enjoyed it. It was fiddly but it all came together in the end. The problems: 1) the "light switch" inductor is hidden behind a fairly thick wood panel, and it operates intermittently, causing some frustration. (Although I've heard from other users whose don't work AT ALL.) 2) the heat-shrink tube that bends to make the front lamp (in front of the coffee shop) didn't hold it's shape very well. 3) when I was assembling the main pieces it w...

It was a gift for my partner and it was great, both the time spent to assemble it and the final result. Also Anavrin customer service has been amazing.

Generally I enjoyed making this. The detail is impressive and it’s a beautiful finished product. Normally I’ve completed complex Lego projects. However this is the first time I worked with wood and glue and had several instances of pieces not coming together as they should or breaking and having to be glued back together. I’ll admit I used some words I hadn’t in a while and was worried it wouldn’t work. But it does. And looks good on the shelf.

100% recommended. Perfectly packaged. Fast delivery to Spain I enjoyed assembling it and the book lover who received it is delighted. Nice to look at and therefore perfect.

The final results were really great and worth the work, but towards the end it gets really difficult to put the large pieces together since they start popping apart. Hot glue was the secret sauce for getting it to come together in the end. I strongly recommend using it when you get to the stage where you're assembling the larger sections. I worked on this with my 12-year-old daughter, and she loved it. I gave it 4 stars because of how frustrating it gets in the final stages, and I think there ar...

Intricate and elaborate details, had a wonderful experience assembling the booknook by myself. The instruction is clear, concise, and easy to follow. the finished booknook hypnotised me greatly and it captures the essence of the actual street vert well.

I got this for my birthday and got scared at first. Lots of steps and tiny bits. But the directions were really good, so I put it together in about 4 hours. It looks great on my shelf!🎉👌

everything looks great. The only thing is the updates in your website (or the delivery company) about the delivery dates. in the website said that one of the items was delivered on december 17th and it was delivered on January 3rd. Also, i send an email when i didnt recieved anything the 17th and, at this date, no one has reach out to me to try to help with the issue. Thankfully, the item arrived later but no one answer my emails on time

The detail of this 1940's Train Cabin book nook is absolutely amazing! It’s definitely more interesting than a lot of the other nook kits I’ve seen. I really appreciate the attention to detail and the overall look—it’s just a great model, especially for the price. The materials feel high-quality, and nothing about it feels cheap. Of course, it all comes down to personal taste, but I’m really enjoying this one!

I love the quality of the pieces in this Ginzan Onsen book nook! The unique details make it awesome, but it does get a little tricky to put together at times.
