Omoide Yokocho Book Nook Kit

Ordered this as a surprise gift and we love it. Assembling it together was fun and relaxing. The pieces themselves were of good quality and didn’t feel flimsy or cheap at all. In the end, the light up display looks amazing in our home sitting on our wall book shelf. Thank you Anavrin for making a beautiful product!

Gorgeous and pleasant to assemble, the only downsides are the instruction size is too small (who isn’t blind as a bat with all the building) and the lights are a little too hospital white, everything else is brilliant and I loved every minute of it 💜

Brings me back to omoide yokocho and the smell of teriyaki and sound of the grill. The vibe may be a bit too calm for how I remember it and the only missing piece that completes the memory is the crowd and people’s chatter. As for the crafting aspect, it’s very relaxing and I couldn’t wait to see the final product. My only pain point was how some pieces need a bit of pressure to snap into place, which causes some glued on pieces to detach. Also, the stickers don’t hold very well on wood and I had to glue some of them on, particularly around the lanterns and electrical boxes. I believe an LED strip would have worked better visually for the floor sign (p34) I’m looking forward to building more stuff!
