I was pleasantly surprised by the assembly of the Book Nook. Thanks to the labelled plates and coloured instructions, I could find the parts quickly. With the Revell kit, I’d be searching for ages and the structure wasn’t always clear to me. It’s a completely different situation here. In just a few steps I had assembled my first shelf with books and a brush on. I was so excited and realised how much fun I was having being crafty. I never felt frustrated. The kit even comes with replacements for very small components that are easily lost.

Even pulling in the cables for the LEDs is straightforward. Two of the four lights are assembled in the middle of the building phase, the other two along with the the touch sensor come at the end. There was enough space for the cable routing and the instructions told me exactly where I should put the cable. The cables are attached using connectors and small transparent adhesive pads. Sometimes I had to apply a bit of force when putting parts together, and I was worried about breaking or bending something. Unfortunately, I couldn’t save the pendulum weight of a clock: it broke off when I exerted a little too much pressure. But everything else remained intact.
