Seemed like a rushed/careless order. For the money better quality is expected.

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2022

Color: WoodVerified Purchase

This is a solid piece, and it looks nice enough just like the pictures. Having assembled many paper theaters and bookends myself, my fear with it being pre-assembled was that the constructor wouldn’t employ the same degree of attention to detail as I do… and unfortunately my fears were founded. The mirror had glue on the screen and many of the pieces weren’t sanded off for smooth edges. If this weren’t such a premium price I could look past those flaws, but as it is I’m actually quite disappointed as I was looking forward to adding this to my collection for some time.

Highly detailed, brightly painted diorama. Lights up to show off on your shelf.

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2021

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This diorama is a work of art. I assume it is mass-produced, but the detail is hand finished. The concept is a unique idea of how to add a surprise to your bookshelf. Every detail is perfect, making the whole thing look like a real street scene.

I found two issues with the piece. First, as shown in one of the photos, the heads of the screws on the side are not countersunk into the wood, so they could damage the book next to the diorama. My patch is pieces of painter's tape, but for over $200, a make-do patch of tape should not be required. Second, the handlebars of the bicycle arrived broken off the rest of the bike. I understand how it happened as the bicycle is a delicate piece. Again, for over $200 the packing should take the delicacy of the pieces into consideration.

Overall -- I love it, but I got this as a VINE product for review, but I would not spend the $200+ for it. Perhaps one with more wealth than I possess would, but the details of the exposed screw heads and the broken bicycle handlebars would be not be acceptable.

Color: Wizard PurpleVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

The Wizard miniAlley Booknook Bookshelf Insert Bookshelf Alley Book Nook (Purple) is a really cool display to tuck into your bookshelf or have on your desk so you can admire it. There are lots of details to see and the clever use of a mirror gives the illusion of the alley continuing past the bend you can see at the back. The purple background light is pretty subtle but the cauldron and the window boxes are quite bright. The display won't glare out at you but instead will give a nice glow on your shelf.
The set is very well crafted and built into a very sturdy box for the shell. Attention was paid to the details and the finishes. It also comes with extras- two tiny barrels and a chest that you can place to your liking after you have set it on your shelf. There is space that you could add other tiny wizardy things you might have as well.
My set took a tiny bit of damage during shipping. The front sign hangs from a filagree bracket and is attached by a very thin wire. The bracket came unglued and fell off and the wire broke so they arrived loose in the display. No harm done- I made a little chain for the sign, attached it back to the bracket and glued the bracket back in place.
The set requires 4 AA batteries [not included]. The battery box is on the top of the display for easy access and it has a wooden cover that matches the rest of the box so you don't even notice it is there. The lights turn on with a toggle switch that is easy to use and is right in front of the battery box.
I am really happy to have this beautiful and whimsical display on my shelf.

Japan Old Town miniAlley Booknook Bookshelf Insert Bookshelf Alley Book Nook

As soon as I saw this gorgeous bookshelf insert, I knew I had to have it. I’d seen items like this occasionally on social media websites but never went out of my way to look for them. Boy, I was missing out. This magical piece has added a lot to my bookshelf and everyone that’s seen it has loved it!

This beautiful bookshelf insert arrived in good condition, although I did have to bend the little light slightly back to its original place because it had been knocked around in shipping. Otherwise no issues.

The insert is really easy to set up; just pop in a few batteries and you’re good to go. The insert is made of wood and the wood is a little rough, so exercise caution when placing it between books because the texture could rub against your books. The insert is also deep; I had to bring some books forward from the bank of the bookshelf to make them match up with the insert. I placed it on a shelf just slightly below eye level at first but moved it up to just above eye level. Unfortunately, the magic is lost a little when looking down at the insert because the angle distorts the mirror and messes with the illusion. But – when at eye level or just a little above – it’s perfect. I loved sending pictures and showing visitors because they enjoyed how this piece looked so much. It’s got a rich colors and the light is easily turned off and on with a small switch. I like to turn it on and sit near it while reading - adds to the atmosphere.

This piece is expensive but is handmade and a treat to have in the home. Would also make a great gift. Highly recommend.
