Beautiful!! My 16yo niece will LOVE it. It will remind her of eating at an incredible ramen shop we stumbled into in her trip to NYC.

The left wall didn't close... I must rasped the noses so that the left wall is closing. Because of that one stare is gone... The Rest was great and incredible quality.

Amazing quality cuts are perfect requiring little effort or sanding. The print/color is extremely detailed and vibrant on the wood. This was designed with a lot of care and attention to detail, better than avarin book books. Will definitely be buying more of these by minialley!

This is the best book nook. Love the wood and high quality components. It’s easy to put together but challenging in time and imagination on how to make it your own which is a good thing!

This was so fun to assemble. The glue almost ran out but we did make it through. We added a little more of our own graffiti to the walls- some personal tags really bringing it to a whole new level.

Gorgeous kit! I saw a ton of people on Booknook Reddit absolutely RAVE about it and I have to agree. One of the best kits I've seen on the market. Can't wait to start building!

Brandon C.Verified

First time getting one of these and it is so fun to put together and really simple and easy directions to follow. Also really easy to fit all pieces together. Nothing had to be forced into place, everything easily slid/fitted in place evenly and felt secured and not loose when glued together. There were tiny edges on some pieces that came from snapping them out of the mold they're held in, but it was mentioned early in the directions that that may be needed. Overall, completely satisfied with ho...

Very nice kit. Went together pretty easily. One thing: the kit should have included two "windows" for the right side, and it only included one. Looks OK without any windows, so I went with that. I also had to figure out a way to get the labels to adhere to the beer bottles/cans. But I did. Use of the mirror to reflect the right side and give it some depth was vert clever. Graphics composition was excellent. Good value.

The quality of the kit far surpassed my expectations! The components, the glue and lightning, even the packaging, are much higher quality than other similar kits, and everything’s fits together so well. It’s a pleasure to build!

I love the design of this nook so much! It took me about 6 hours to finish without any problems. I received it within a few days. Super high-quality materials, I was surprised at how thick the wood is. Everything is glued together so no snaps and clicks. I thought it was easier to build like that, and the result came out super clean plus it allows more customization. Instructions are very easy to follow as well. Please make more awesome designs like this! I would totally get more from you guys...

The item itself is great; some of the details have exceeded my expectations. The $45 in duty wasn't expected, though. I thought going direct would save me money, but nope.

I am new to this hobby and I had an absolute blast building the Neo Ramen! The build quality is superb. When I was done with the build, I had a lighting issue so I sent a help email on a Sunday, not expecting a response. Well I got an immediate response and a fix for my wiring mistake. The team at MiniAlley, especially Kevin, are fantastic. Made in the USA from a local PA company. Kudos to you guys! Keep up the amazing work!!

Shipped quickly! This kit is so sturdy and well-made - the thick wood means no chance of breaking pieces from the runners, which is usually a fraught process. Even the lights are brighter than normally seen in a kit. Wiring was super easy to follow thanks to the different colored wires and great instructions. This kit has spoiled me for all further book nook building!
