  • My first kit bought as a Christmas present for a friend. Very good quality and great to assemble. If I had one niggle and a very small one is that the telescope was a little fiddly

  • 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!

        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.

        Bought it because my late bride loved puzzles, she would have loved this. When I sent the picture to my sister in law, she thought it was an actual, physical location. Love it.

        Currently still building this one, it's certainly a challenge but I do love a challenge! Adding some more plants and different wallpapers to give it a personal touch. Great customer service when there was an issue with delivery, fabulous communication and they resolved it really quickly.

        It was a fun build . I added a few things to make it more eccentric and unique . This is not for beginners that's for sure . The Umbrellas was a challenge , my only gripe is the small illustrations it was very hard to see . Other than that it was good quality as usual.

        The instructions are super easy to follow. Everything is in color, making it even easier to understand. The wood and plastic are, in my opinion, very high quality compared to other sets, but I've noticed that with Anavrin in general! It was a bit tricky in some places, but nothing impossible and doable with a little finesse. The end result looks great in my opinion!

        I have 7 of these kits and did not expect to like this one as much as I do as i normally gravitate towards the less modern scenes. The changing colours in the sign make it very special. I did add a cat to the balcony and now its perfect . I love it. Highly recommend. Have bought many and will continue to purchase.
