What Makes It Uncommon

All devoted bookworms know that reading a really good story feels like stepping into another world, and so does gazing into one of these beguiling nooks. Filled with wonderful details, each miniature, illuminated scenario—hand-assembled by you—opens a magical portal right between your favorite books. Perfect gift for friends that love miniatures or moms that enjoy self decor.

  • Assemble the puzzle pieces to create a fascinating 3D tableau lit by mini LED lights that cast a cozy glow on your bookshelf.
  • Precision laser-cut basswood pieces fit together with mortise and tenon joinery—no glue required.
  • Choose from five enchanting scenes: Sakura Densya (approximate build time, 6 hours); Sunshine Town (7 hours); Magic House (4 hours); or Greenhouse (5 hours); Romantic Venice (2-3 hours); Floral Corner (3.5 hours). Sold individually.
  • Lights require 2 AAA batteries (not included).
  • Made in China.

Where can I find pictures of all of the finished kits? Not all are shown here.

You can see the picture for each finished Storybook DIY Kit by selecting that kit's name in the dropdown menu under item.


The mini bookshop kit shows a red chair inside. Is that included or do I need to buy separately?

Verified reply from Sofia

Hello! Everything shown in the image is included.


I do not see the dimensions for the Book Shop, also the number of pieces and how long to assemble.

Hello, Final size measures 7.8"x4.5"x8.6", 194pcs and it takes about 3-4 hours.


Hi! The Floral House dimensions are not listed. Would you please state what they are? (Not to be confused with the Greenhouse.) Thank you.

Verified reply from Justin

Hello! The Floral House dimensions in inches are 9.5 x 8 x 4.3. The assembly time is approximately 3.5 hours.


There is a picture of a coffee house kit and in the video there is a Shakespeare bookstore - what are the names of those two patterns?

Verified reply from Maxienne

The names are Sunshine Town and Bookshop, respectively.


They appear to have light in them. Is that just the natural light around them or can a bulb be put inside?

Verified reply from Jen

Yep, they are illuminated with Mini-LEDs which require two AAA batteries that are NOT included.


If painting is required, are the paints/brushes supplied?

Verified reply from Ashley

Hi, great question! These fun and unique storybook DIY kits arrive in full color and ready for you to assemble and create a work of art!


How heavy are the individual kits?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! The kits range from 1.1 lbs to 2.5lbs in weight.


It says in the description that Flower House is an option, but there are no pictures. Can you upload one or provide me with one?

Verified reply from Itamar

The listed option for flower house is listed as greenhouse in the dropdown menu :^) We apologize for any miscommunication.


The Q&A says you don't use glue when putting this together, but one of the reviewers talks about the difficulty she had with the kit glue being dried up. So I'm confused -- glue or no glue?

Verified reply from Allison

No glue is needed nor does glue come in the kit.
