TONECHEER 3D Wooden Puzzle DIY Book Nook Kit (The Secret Garden)

This is a cute little kit that isnt something you see every day. It definitely adds interest to a shelf, and its about the size of a largish book. If you have any hardbacks, this goes well alongside them.

Our kids dont have the actual Secret Garden book, but we might pick up a hardback copy to go along with this on the shelf. I haven't read the book in ages, so I'm not certain about the model's accuracy. But, I don't recall anyone having a wheelchair, and I only remember the two kids, not three. It's almost like whoever designed this model had never read the book . . . or it's their "artistic license" concept based loosely on the book. Also, it could very well be another book entirely and not the one I'm thinking of. Regardless, it's still a really nice diorama reminiscent of childhood in simpler times.

The pieces are precision made and the quality is very good. The little motion sensor works well, and it is a nice surprise for visitors when they pass the bookshelf and it lights up. Sort of a read me reminder.

Overall, this is a decent kit and a fun activity for the family that yields a very nice display piece for a bookshelf. At the current price of $43, its a fair value as well. Five stars.

Received one of these for Christmas and my daughter loved it and wanted to do another. Pricey and challenging to put together but beautiful when completed

I love this book, and the idea of a "secret garden" so I was really excited to see this book nook set available. There are varying levels of difficulty for these book nooks, and I would say this falls more on the easier/introductory side. It's a wooden one, where it's almost like a puzzle to put together rather than creating a bunch of little accessories with various materials (like many book nooks are). That all said, I still think the wood ones are a challenge overall. You have to fit everything together and use slotted pieces, and some of the times it just doesn't fit quite right or stay in place, etc. Fast drying glue is helpful. Quality, fast drying glue isn't provided and isn't required, but I like having it when doing these.
One of my favorite things about "The Secret Garden" (book) is all of the nature. This book nook is so cute with all of the flowers, vines, bird and trees. It really is pretty and colorful. It's a slimmer book nook, and it doesn't come with a dust cover which I think they all should include one.

I look at reviews a lot when shopping. I hope this review helps!

TL:DR: The Secret Garden Kit would be perfect for first timers, great quality, but not challenging and very basic build for the cost.

I purchased The Secret Garden Kit since I'm a big fan of the book/movie. This is my 7th book nook that I have assembled and this one was by far the easiest. The quality of the product is great and none of the pieces broke during assembly, even though the kit does provide spare parts. It's a beautiful scene but the whole build took me maybe 2 hours to put together? It doesn't provide a dust cover and is much narrower than the other book nooks I've assembled. It's similar in price to the other nooks, but I like a build that takes at least 6+ hours so that it feels like it's worth the cost for the time spent.

I was looking for something fun and different that I could do with my daughter. She enjoys puzzles, so I decided to give this a shot. I should have read the suggested age as my daughter is only 7. She struggled to get some of the smaller pieces out of the form. I always hated ripping a puzzle apart after you worked so hard. Now, we can enjoy this one as long as we want. Weve only just started to work on it, but we really are enjoying it. Its a great lesson in engaging and following directions! Everything you need is included, including a small piece of sandpaper in case you need it.
