Awesome Looking And Not Childish. Very Challenging
A lot of the book nook pirate themed kits are childish. This one is not. It's stunning with beautifully painted finishes and realistic cut outs.Pros: The directions have shaded diagrams for front/back. For the most part it's easy to understand. Most kits do not and you spend forever figuring it out. The attention to details is fantastic. The stairs, the decks, treasure chests, the pirates and the walls, inside and out. Everything punches out without problems and aligns perfectly. Parts are easy to find and you aren't searching through the sets looking for pieces.Cons: The pieces fit very tightly and there are a LOT of pieces to this kit. This is a challenging kit and needs a lot of patience because of the tight fit. Nothing broke and I eventually got the tabs in. I had to rage quit a couple of times though. Trying to get the staircases connecting to the next floor and the side walls were a source of rage quiting.This is an amazing kit and once you get the hang of how the pieces work it is tons of fun. Don't let the tight fit drive you crazy.

Get a different brand
This deserves zero stars. We decided to have a family night and all have book nooks we ordered. This is such a waste. We couldn’t do this. Instructions are crap. It doesn’t even say how to attach the lights. My daughter was so disappointed. I’m about a week past my refund date so I’m out my money. All the other brand book books we got are awesome! DONT BUY THESE!

Buy lots of Glue
So, my daughter and I both got one of these to do together. Mine came with non-glossy printer paper pics to be cut out. Hers came with pretty glossy paper to cut out. So, her final product looked a little more nice and finished. There are no stickers with this book nook. You will be cutting out and gluing every tiny little thing. Instructions are a little hard to understand. There is no glue! Buy a LOT of glue! We used a lot of glue sticks and a lot of super glue. There is no way this all stays together without a lot of glue. Also, there are no batteries so buy batteries, you will need 3. So basically you are buying lots of paper to be cut out and lots of unlabeled wood pieces that you have to measure because they aren't labeled to know what tiny piece of paper that you cut out goes to that little random wood piece. Neither one of ours fit together perfectly because the main base doesn't have any way of fitting together perfectly. You just gotta make it work somehow and be creative and cover holes or things that didn't work with decorations. In the end they turned out cute enough and you can't see how bad the sides and bottom and everything looks on ours cause books are on each side. It was still I guess, a fun little thing for us to do together. We put a little more that 24 hours of work into each of ours. Oh, also buy a little thing of electrical tape. The tape they provide doesn't work well on the wires at all. Honestly with all the stuff you have to buy and provide to put this thing together it shouldn't cost more than like $20. I want to do more of these but probably won't buy anymore from this seller.

Be prepared
This is far more involved than I thought it would be. Be ready to put every little thing together. Look through the instructions several times before starting on this and hopefully you have some hobby skills on your side. It is enjoyable to assemble and is coming together nicely but there are a lot of fiddly parts and pieces.

Boyfriend loved this puzzle for our 1 year. We built it together
Be careful the parts are all made of wood and you have to punch them out of place. Make sure you don't break any pieces either cause some of the parts are small or thin.My boyfriend loved this as his gift and he wants to collect them all now.We are satisfied! The cat town all the cats are so adorable and small. Thank you for a great product!

instructions not well written
I hemmed and hawed about returning this or just challenging myself to put it together despite poor instructions (see photo for example of the instructions). Had the price not been close to $40 I probably would have kept it, but I feel like at that price point you should expect clear instructions at least and all listed parts to be provided. The premise is cute and the little birdhouses etc would have been fun to put together.As other reviews have mentioned it is supposed to have glue included (labeled white latex) but does not, and from what I can tell a lot of glue is required.I have made two other brands of book nooks that have been excellent and I would compare to a challenging puzzle for people who like detail and intricate work. In comparison, this one (Firefly Forest) is like a prototype that was never developed into a kit. It is what I'd expect if I was designing my own from scratch. Things that could be improved but are not part of this kit are wood pieces that are notched so they fit together securely, clear instructions, adhesive back paper so you don't have to glue large areas and try to keep out the wrinkles. In this kit the wood box appears to be kept together with paper glued around the corners.It requires 3 button shaped batteries but nowhere does it tell you what size. From one of the diagrams it looks like CR44 or something close to that.

Not worth it at ALL
I bought the cyberpunk book end because I have done a few of these before and they have all been fun, and thought it was time for a more futuristic style than the more antique looking ones I've done. This kit is by far the WORST put together one I have ever seen. The instructions are convoluted, complete with grainy, blurry photos and awful translations for everything. It says it comes with a bottle of latex, but it comes with no latex or glue. It's got a massive sheet of decals to put on the loose pieces, but they aren't even stickers. You have to cut them all out by hand. I'm not even going to try to attempt this hot mess. Into the garbage it goes, it's not worth the headache. Take your hobby elsewhere!
