Tokyo Alley 3D DIY Book Nook Kit

TLDR: GET IT, it’s worth it. This was my first DIY book nook kit so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m a very crafty person, love traveling, reading and architecture BUT I had never got my hands on anything like this. This book nook was the perfect intersection of all those interests! I absolutely loved building it! First I thought it was gonna be complex but it was surprisingly a joy to put together. Every time I sat down to work on it I felt relaxed, engaged in what I was doing and rewarded by each piece I put together. When I finished it, I couldn’t believe I DID THAT (and even wired it what!!)! It looks so cute on my bookshelf and my boyfriend loved it too. The instructions were clear. It comes with all the parts and tools you need to build it (very thoughtful!). I had a minor question at the end and the customer service was very responsive and helpful. I will definitely be adding it to my gifts to give list for upcoming birthdays and holidays.

Tokyo Alley is a beautiful nook and was a lot of fun to make. Customer service was excellent- I had no problems but I did have a few questions, and Eric got back to me within a day or less. He also translated all the signs for me. The wiring was very easy especially compared to other kits and the lighting is spectacular. The manual was well-written and is also available as a PDF which makes it much easier to read because I can enlarge the print. Including a basic toolkit was a nice touch, especially the tiny magnetized screwdriver for the even tinier screws. I sand and paint the edges, and I did a good job of matching the brickwork. Looking forward to the next nook from Bookshelf Memories.

Great customer service
