9 New best DIY book nook kits: the expanded reviews

1. Krafty Wood Creations

This is an Etsy store that sells different laser cut book nook kits, a haunted house kit, and a few other things.

My personal favorites are the Hogwarts Express train kit and the Diagon Alley kit.

Brand	Krafty Wood Creations
Scale	The assembled dimensions of the train kit: Height 290mm Width 135mm Depth 203mm For the other book nook kits, you would need to check out the descriptions first. I believe that the scale used here is about 1:24
Pro’s	– The store is a star-seller, which means that it has a history of great customer service and fast shipping – These book nook kits are quite sturdy because they are laser cut – Beautiful designs, in my opinion – you can paint/decorate them in any way that you like – free shipping costs
Contra’s	– the train platform book nook is a bit more complicated to assemble – unless I’m mistaken, I don’t see any lights included
Our Ratings	5/5
Hours to Make	That depends on the book nook that you are working on, one takes longer than the other.

2. The Eternal Bookstore

I haven’t talked much about miniature kits from Cutebee yet, but I’m under the impression that they are getting better and better with their products.

The design of this book nook called Eternal Bookstore looks quite fantastic if you ask me, I love the choice of warm colors.

Brand	Cutebee
Scale	I would estimate this to be on a scale of 1:24
Pro’s	– Great instructions with pictures – This one has a stunning design! – The battery box is well hidden – Easily build – no need to paint anything
Contra’s	– No glue or batteries included – a few parts aren’t very sturdy – the manual is in broken English – you need to have a good look at the pictures before assembling to not get confusion
Our Ratings	4,5/5
Hours to Make	About 5-6 hours

3. Sunshine Town

This one from Robotime is a design that I personally like a bit less, but that’s a matter of personal taste 😉

I’m sure that the materials used are sturdy though, as always with the miniature kits from Robotime

Brand	Robotime/Rolife
Scale	1:24 (estimated)
Pro’s	– Well illustrated with lots of details – Very good instructions ( I always tend to find the manuals better than the ones from Cutebee) – sturdy parts – easy assembling
Contra’s	– The wiring is weird – lots of pieces don’t fit together nicely – lots of painting for this one
Our Ratings	4,5/5
Hours to Make	5 to 6 hours

( you can compare prices)

4. Calvin and Hobbes

This book nook was inspired by the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip.

It features the scene where Calvin and Hobbes cross a log as they explore the woods near Calvin’s home.

You can place this book nook between the comic books on a shelf, but the outside is also decorated with imagery from the comic strip. So you don’t need to necessarily place it between books. 

This book nook kit is unpainted, so you need to do that yourself.

Brand	Hemispheres co
Scale	about 1:24 (not sure) Measurements: – Width: 5 7/16 inches – Height: 8 11/16 inches – Depth: 5 1/4 inches
Pro’s	– Very Original and unique design, you won’t find a Calvin and Hobbes kit anywhere else – easy-to-follow instructions – great quality and laser cut
Contra’s	– a little bit more on the expensive side
Our Ratings	4,5/5
Hours to Make	This is not mentioned

5. Sakura Densya

This one book nook kit I noticed this one a while ago and it is one of the new arrivals from Robotime that is on my to-do list. I think it’s a lovely and very creative design!

Although I am a little bit scared of all the flowers haha!

Brand	Robotime aka Rolife
Scale	About 1:24
Pro’s	– easy to assemble – very detailed – great quality product – the lights are easy to fix in this one – lovely design
Contra’s	– Lots of painting to do (can be good for you) – the translation of the manual into English could be better – sometimes pieces are not fitting well
Our Ratings	4,5/5
Hours to Make	Unpainted for about 6 hours, painting it as well takes about 18 hours.

6. Little Mermaid

If you want something special and unique, this little mermaid book nook must be on your list;-)

Just let the pictures speak for themselves!

Brand	Hemispheres Co
Scale	1: 24 Measurements: – Width: 4 3/4 inches – Height: 9 1/4 inches – Depth: 6 5/8 inches
Pro’s	– Very unique book nook kit! – well designed – clear directions – great customer service – well packaged so that nothing would break
Contra’s	– I don’t see any shipping or returning services.
Our Ratings	5/5
Hours to Make	Unclear

7. Butterfly of Unknown Lands.

This book nook kit has plenty of butterflies for you to enjoy, and it is “light” (not literally) and would make a great decoration piece on your bookshelf.

Its style is Chinese.

Brand	Cutebee
Scale	1:24 10.8 x 4.5 x 6.8 inches
Pro’s	– Good quality – Cute design – lots of details
Contra’s	– This Cutebee kit seems to have some issues with missing parts – instructions aren’t too clear, not for beginners
Our Ratings	4,5/5
Hours to Make	about 6 hours

8. Pirate Ship Sea Hunter

A book nook kit that isn’t seen much on Facebook groups or apparently not sold a lot, but still special!

Have you seen this pirate ship?

Brand	Furmidore
Scale	1:24 Measurements: – Width: 5.3 inches – Height: 9.6 inches – Depth: 7 inches
Pro’s	– This kit looks like a fun design for a childrens’ room, for example – Sturdy materials – top shop for gifts, gets mostly 5-star reviews

Our Ratings	5/5
Hours to Make	Unavailable
