Customer video review of Omoide Yokocho Book Nook Kit

Kateryna R.

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

I loved working on this kit, the quality is amazing, all of the pieces fit together beautifully. The detail makes you want to go to Paris and find a little jazz club. I've shown a lot of friends and they all fell in love.

Customer video review of Kyoto Gion Book Nook Kit

Sandra R.

After returning from my trip to Japan, I found myself longing for it - that distinct sense of peace in a temple garden, the vibrant energy of Tokyo, the lantern-lit streets of Kyoto, and the nostalgic charm of old villages with their black timber houses. Then I discovered Anavrin’s book nooks - tiny, beautifully crafted worlds that instantly transported me back to those magical places. I started with the Kyoto and Tokyo sets: the quality is absolutely top-notch. The parts fit together so precis...

I finished this amazing Anavrin book nook this weekend. It was made to customize, and I had a blast assembling it, and learned a lot of new skills too. Here are some of things I added: Custom drum cover, (put the stock one on sideways and didn’t like it). This is my idea of the house band. 3D sax, painted and aged. Various Wine, Champagne, and whiskey bottles in 1:24 scale. Wine glasses. One with lipstick. A pack of french cigs on the table. They loved to smoke back then! Custom poster ...

I bought this Japanese Bakery model as a gift for my brother who loves building things. He completed it within a few days and loved it! Great result, and beautiful detailing.

I’ve never been into model building, but this was a nice wholesome, therapeutic, non-screen activity of an evening. Took me probably 5 hours total build time. Would definitely recommend and have already purchased another Anavrin book nook kit - I’m looking forward to its arrival!

This is a really well made kit and not tooooo fiddly! The end result is really cool. Made for a great little craft project after our recent trip to Japan.

The kit was fun to assemble with good instructions and a great result! My only gripe is how the small umbrellas are assembled since it is sticker paper that has to be rolled to achieve the shape, but everything else fit together nicely.

Customer's assembled Kowloon Walled City 2049 Book Nook Kit lit by deep blue and purple lights with a custom robot figure.

Bruce B.

High quality, loved the story and details. I customized the storefront and named it Lexi’s tea house for my daughter. Many of your kits have a 3d cat or dog. I thought a cool cyberpunk maintenance bot would fit the Kowloon 2059 vibe so I added that and I love it!

I loved putting this together. It’s just so sweet sitting on my dining sideboard. It looks charming when it is lit up. My friends are all complimenting about how pretty it is. Compliments to the genius who designed this puzzle for my enjoyment. All pieces were there and the directions are precise. Really a fun project.

Absolutely love it. This is the seventh one I have done. I printed out tiny vintage jazz record covers on card stock and added to it. I can’t stop looking at it! The detail is insane. I just put together the Korean bakery today.

This kit was fantastic. The instructions were easy to follow and everything is beautifully made. It was a very relaxing balance of just challenging enough while not being stressful to assemble! It’s a really lovely model which I like even more than I expected.

I think is a little bit expensive, but I had a lot of fun building it. The only think I can't figure it out was the light switch, it didn't work for me, at the end and I had to left the part where you light on outside. For the most part it is very beautitul and very fun to make.

Enjoyed putting this together immensely! Even with mistakes I made things turned out OK. Love this, hope there will be more kits put out. Gonna get another kit soon. I LOVE IT!😍

Really fun project to chill out with. I've done a couple of book nooks before, but this one has been the best quality and instructional, well worth the high price.

Very thoroughly enjoyed building this for my lady partner! My only gripe is that the wires leading to the lights could be a little longer. But aside from that, very pleased with how it turned out!

I absolutely LOVED creating this little book nook. It is so detailed and the quality of the item is incredible. I loved all the little hidden details you discover while building it, and you have a freedom to arrange some details as you like, I just love it.

Ok first I didnt See the DIY part( I know How could I miss It) so when it came and needed to be assembled I had an anxiety attack lol however, it was sooo much fun. When I got the light to work I ran around the house yelling “I made light” … 10/10 I reccomend this. Thanks for letting me share

ETERNAL MIDNIGHT PARIS is now the showpiece of my book nook collection! I'd say it's a "medium" challenge but incredibly well made and satisfying. The three different lighting effects really make this a one-of-a-kind piece, well done ANAVRIN!

Claudia B.

This was my first book nook, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect—but I was pleasantly surprised! The packaging was excellent, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I did run into a few minor challenges with the smaller pieces, but that’s mostly due to my big fingers rather than any fault in the design. The end result is absolutely amazing, and I’m already planning to get a second one!

As someone who is trying to find a new hobby. I think I found my new favorite thing to do. 5 out 5 experience and a blast to complete. Really looking forward to building old and new sets in the Future. 😊❤️

Hi, I bought 2 kits for my daughters and their partners to make for my wife who is very ill. Kids had a great time building them and they are a wonderful distraction. My wife loves them. ❤️

Gilbert Z.

The Ikseon-Dong Hanok Bakery is a great book-nook build as the the main bakery and the rest of the pieces that made the bakery complete the look is just pretty and looks exactly like the structures in the Hanok neighborhood in Seoul. The unique feature to retract the roof and showcase the inside of the bakery from a different viewpoint is just magical and innovative from other book nooks. It was fun, relaxing, and intriguing to work on this project. It was a truly immersive experience building a...

Customer video review of The Abandoned Submarine Book Nook Kit

Jon E.

I messed up the doors lock/unlock mechanism initially. I think I got some glue where it didn’t belong but it’s working now. Love the way you incorporated the sticky strip lighting. It makes the interior of the sub look really good.

Building this kit was so fun. It’s very beautiful and reminds me of my trip to Kyoto. It took about 5-6 hours to complete. At first I thought it would be difficult but it wasn’t. The kit had everything needed to complete it including extra pieces (which I didn’t need). I can’t wait to build my next book nook.

These are absolutely stunning!! The detail is incredible and the lighting is just right. The instructions were clear and simple to understand. I had no issues with any damaged pieces. Some of the small pieces can be a challenge to glue, but it's just takes practice and a steady hand. The end result is just brilliant. Can't wait to purchase my next one 😊⛩️🇯🇵

I bought two of these 3D puzzles different ones for me and my 24 yo daughter to do. It’s important to spend time together even when they get older, she loves it and so do I at the age of 57! I’m not finished as you can see and in the picture but I look forward to the completion, thank you

This was my first Book Nook and I loved assembling it. I found the instructions excellent and the inclusion of many extras of the more delicate pieces, gave me confidence that any breakages could be fixed or replaced at no charge. The existence of the Mystery pieces numbered 280 had me checking the instructions several times to see where they go. An online search confirmed that others had the same issue and that the pieces were possibly cable organizers with no place to install the tabs on an...

Martin J.

Very accurate pieces that fit together perfectly. Best to use a sharp blade knife on the back of the pieces to cut/ break them from the sheet. Used tweezers to apply glue when required. Instructions are very good with a few minor errors. ie step 229 where piece 277 can go either way as it is printed on both sides however to the top lug is offset and will not mate with piece 234. Step 284 the pieces are 123 not 122. Step 304 the pieces are 214 not 215. What do you do with pieces 280 are th...

High quality kit, precision cut parts, lots of fun to build, reminds me of evenings at hole-in-the-wall bars in Japan, after a day of work as an English Teacher in 1991.

Kirk H.

The Omoide Yokocho Book Nook Kit by Anavrin is absolutely stunning! The attention to detail and quality of the materials exceeded my expectations. Every little component feels thoughtfully designed, and the instructions made the build process a real joy rather than a chore. I decided to make a few custom changes to truly make it my own, incorporating some of my favourite items from Japan. Adding those personal touches made the final piece even more meaningful, and it blends seamlessly with the ...

Recently put together the Kyoto-themed book nook, and honestly, it was such a relaxing and rewarding little project. If you’re into miniatures, cozy vibes, or just love Japan, this kit is a gem.

What a fantastic gift it was! Together with a Japanese teapot and cups, and a set of tea, it creates a magical place to pause for a moment. Love it!

Customer video review of 1940s Train Cabin Book Nook Kit (Motion Scene)

Bob W.

Gave these to two friends for Christmas gifts. Both friends enjoyed putting them together, and the feeling of accomplishment they had when completed. They are detailed, unique and a definitely a joy to behold when you display them. A great piece to display on your book shelves or any where else you may want to enjoy them. When friends visit they are always amazed at the details!

Customer video review of Holiday Garden House Book Nook | Anavrin

Oleksii T.

Got this as a Christmas present for my wife. Assembly was relatively easy, took three evenings to put it all together(there is a lot of tiny pieces like flowers, furniture, etc) but the end result looks fantastic.

Mamoru N.

I think it took me a little longer than the “average” time noted in the instruction book. But I really enjoyed the experience. The picture I shared shows a different product that was very difficult and much more frustrating to build. I think I would definitely enjoy building another of your products! Well done! 👍

Steven S.

This kit is fantastic! It’s incredibly realistic, detailed, and subtle. The tiny printing on the vinyl record jackets, the super-detailed photos in their wooden frames, and the ‘painted’ portrait on the piano are just a few of the many amazing little details that make working on this project so rewarding. I appreciate the deep thought put into the kit’s design and the variety of materials used. The designer clearly gave a lot of thought to the nighttime representation of the Eiffel Tower. The m...
