So much fun! I found myself rushing home after work just to work on my book nook. Can’t wait to build another!

I love it! I received the Hannah's balcony set and it has everything I need plus it's adorable! I had an issue with my first order, but the company was very kind and helpful to help me with the issue. It was definitely worth the wait and I'm excited to work on it!!

My husband and I spent many hours building this set. Anavrin said this takes 10-20 hours to build, but we both agree it could take longer if you're completely new to building these kinds of things and are working on it by yourself. It was quite challenging with all the pieces and mechanics involved, but the end result is beautiful. The instructions sometimes misprinted information or missed steps, which made things confusing at some points. We had one small piece missing from the set, but it w...

Laser cutting is accurate and parts fit together well. Design is interesting. However, the wood used for the walls and some of the parts is too thin, causing some breakage. In particular, the wood used for the switch would be better if thicker and stronger, considering the amount of pressure it takes. Also, the door mechanism is advertised as having a clicking sound when operating but this only happens before final assembly. After all pieces are together, there is no clicking sound.

Amazing kit to build! The detail is stunning. It takes time and attention to complete but it’s well worth it!

Really Awesome and the parts are perfect. Mine is not complete yet but I'm excited at how it looks so far. This is going to look Great on my shelf.

I started with the Owl Book store--a beginner project-- first so that I could learn how to make these kits without breaking the pieces or installing pieces incorrectly. I then delved into the JiuFen street book nook, and--just like the Owl Bookstore, the pieces were incredibly well made and fairly easy to remove. Anarvin also gives you extra pieces for the delicate pieces that might break in removing them from the boards. I'm not done with the JiuFen booknook, but I'm so pleased and happy with...

For my first such project, it went fairly well. Having better hand-eye coordination and steadier fingers and hands would have been nice, but... The errata information you emailed me after I contacted you about some errors in the manual was quite helpful and I hope you'll get the list posted on the website for this and all of your book nook projects!

I bought these for Christmas gifts for my children, so I am not sure how they actually are! Shipping was quick and they were quick to respond when I didn’t understand the delivery updates. Will update after Christmas!

Very nice materials in the kit, pieces are laser cut, fabrics and metal plating are all pre-cut to fit —unlike some cheaper kits where you are cutting and creating every bit from paper and card. This is not one of the $30 kits on Amazon. This has a mechanical component and a lot of nice materials. I’ve not seen anything else like it, and happy with my experience. The shipping tracking was a bit off, and item arrived sooner than the tracking info said it would. I emailed a question to their suppo...

Not quite done but love working on it in my spare time. Very detailed and accurate in scale. Not a young child's craft so i appreciate all your hard work to make crafts for adults or preteens.

An excellent product, both fun and easy to assemble and extremely impressive when complete. The details and the colourful decorations make it a wonderful piece to display on a bookshelf. Highly recommended! 10/10

I am eighty years old and this book train thing is for my granddaughter this Christmas. I peaked into the box before wrapping it and marveled at the intricacies, the quality and the craftsmanship. I knew the 10 year old would find it interesting and a bit of a challenge. I have not yet seen her enveloped into the new tech age, another gift is a pad to read books as she goes through one per week and no phone yet..so, I am very delighted about this gift..next year, maybe more electronic items in o...

I love your products. I get nervous while puting the right pieces together. Parts get wobbly and wonder why certain parts dont need glue. I know there r parts that need to move but the ones that dont need glue r too loose. Maybe there is a reason for it. Im on the 7 th page. They may come apart very easily. Is this normal?

This addition to my bookshelf has become such a conversation piece! It's a great icebreaker with visitors. People truly enjoy the details and how it lends to ambiance.

All fitted together wonderfully, just as stated! Only thought was there wasn't many chances to be creative and alter anything. Loved the way all the parts were printed, even when separated from the frame, even the edges were realistic.

This was a great Xmas present for my very clever wife, who smashed it out in two days over Xmas 🤶

As my first experience building a model, I loved this! The truck is so detailed and amazing! It took me 2 days to get together. Some pieces I managed to break so no glue required didn't quite work out. But I am so pleased with the overall product!

I loved putting this together, but I could see there are a lot of people who just wouldn't have the dexterity and Patience to put it together. The clock will not run for more that 5 minutes and I don't know why. May be you could write me some things to look for. Cliff Fairley

Pendulum Clock | Anavrin

Robert S.

I love my pendulum clock now that I have been able to get it to work properly. However, it took much effort on my part. I followed the instructions very carefully, especially with placement of the plastic shaft sleeves on each gear mechanism, but the pendulum would only work for a few seconds. I took it apart and checked every measurement and put it back together again and it still did not work. Finally, I had to visually determine where the issues were that prevented the ongoing movement of ...

This an excellent model. It is shipped from Vietnam and took about three weeks to reach me in Ireland which was no problem as there was detailed tracking. It is beautifully designed but quite intricate so I took my time with it. There are plenty of helpful videos on YouTube if you need a little bit more guidance. There were no missing parts but I used my own set of woodland scenic lights which made everything a lot simpler. It is expensive but I can understand why as a lot of work has gone into ...

Such a fun activity! The instructions and photos were very easy to follow and the materials were organized well and easy to find. This is such a stress-relieving hobby and I can't wait to finish this and start on my next one.

I love it. Can’t wait to get it all done. Currently struggling with the light but I’ll get there. No batteries in the box ? I was gifted the kitchen for Christmas so that will be next. I’m excited! One day the greenhouse! Thank you. It’s been a lot of fun

Wolfram S.

Definitely not for beginners and I‘d rate it age 16+ in terms of difficulty assembling it. Wonderful model though! You can feel that great care and craftsmanship was applied during the creation of the model. Sadly one of the very thin cables came right off the little plating when we installed the light, so some improvising was needed to repair the electric setup. In terms of how the pieces fit together, I‘d say about 90% accuracy — most of the parts mended well together, others need a bit of sub...

I'm still at the early stages of construction, but I am very pleased and pleasantly challenged by this project! The quality of the components is great, and they are very beautiful. I have had to ask customer service to send me a replacement part because I forced it a little too much and made it snap. They answered me quickly and will be sending what I need, no problem. Excellent service. Also, the idea of the moving picture display is something that I had never seen before in any other model - i...

Amazing skill in fitting all those pieces on each sheet of wood laminate. the painted surfaces have a multitude of colors and textures. I only need to touch up edges with sanding and apply stain to try match color of surface. Wood glue is good for large pieces (Walls, flooring).wood glue is a slow drying. I use Clamps to hold walls to floor and ceiling. Then let glue dry I use a non-water-based glue to fix paper items onto walls and as book covers. and secure items to bookcases etc. The lighting...

Het ontwerp is goed het materiaal van het hout is prima, maar de uitleg in het boekje vind ik zeer slecht weinig bruikbare en duidelijke informatie ERG JAMMER. om dit te kunnen bouwen is gewone lijm niet inpasbaar maar moet zeker 2 seconde lijm worden gebruikt. Mijn resultaat is dan ook vele malen beter dan op het filmpje veel lijm zichtbaar wat lelijk is om te zien. De constructie van het dak vind ik niet geweldig als je kijkt hoe je de 6 dakramen moet plaatsen dat had veel beter gekund. ook zi...

This is my favorite Anavrin build so far. The design is fascinating. Lighting is perfect. Directions were perfect. Only problems are 1) lights turn off and then back on by themselves, but that adds to the mystery of it, and 2) the chair is too big. Looking at more booknooks to purchase! I love putting these together. Kudos to your production team!

I am about 3/4 done building this kit and I can’t think of anything to say that isn’t nice. All the parts fit well and were easy to work with. The instructions were clear. I can’t wait to see it on my bookshelf. In fact, I like it so much I’m about to order another one.

Unfortunately, my delivery was stolen at the Railway station together with some other belongings. It’s really a bad luck in South Germany. I was waiting for quite a while end of December, since you didn’t have it on stock. So I had to order the same kit once more, as I have never seen it yet and it was a gift for my dear. Wait for it again now!

Great and unusual subject. However the wood is very thin and warps a lot. The outer, printed areas are very prone to chipping. The finished product is stunning! I'll need to rig something at the top of one side because of the huge gap because the wall is warped so much.

I got this for a friend, and she's taking her time building it. Seems like she's really enjoying it. I've seen the half-finished result already, and it's really cute. It's a bit too time-consuming for me, but she's loving it! 😉

We ordered Jiufeng one, it was fun overall to put it together. We ended up using hot glue instead of regular glue. On last step, we realized we didn’t have mica for our order. Contacted the support, the support was amazing, it took a little while to receive our replacement since we were told it’s coming from Asia. Now we have the nook completed. Thank you!

奥に配置された鏡によってより奥行きが増し、幻想的な風景が作り出されておりとても満足しました。付属している猫の置物もずんぐりとしていてとてもかわいいです。唯一の欠点として電池の消費が早く、明るい風景を楽しめるのがわずかしかないところがあるのですが、それでも光加減がいい具合に抑えられてまた違った雰囲気を感じられるので、一度で二度楽しめる逸品となっています。

I am sorry to say we haven't started working on it yet, but I think it's awesome! What a great kit, I'm amazed at how much fits in that little box! I am looking forward to spending the rest of the winter working on it with my daughter.
