Just completed the Bookstore Book Nook - my 27th project! This build taught me a valuable lesson about checking all my pieces before finalizing assembly.
I got all the way to the end and realized I had one piece left over. It took about 15 minutes to figure out where it went - the top of a bookshelf, of course! Trying to retrofit it meant breaking three different pieces that I had to carefully repair. Not my smoothest build, but a good learning experience!
Despite the repair work, I really enjoyed this kit. The assembly goes together well if you don’t miss pieces like I did! I love all the little books and intricate details. I’m also finding that I really like the long, narrow format of these book nooks - they’re going to look fantastic on my mantle once I clear some space for them.
this is a nice booknook. I love chair. so comfortable
Oh no! I am so glad you figured it out. I found a missing piece of my fireplace after completing a book nook…but I decided early on that it wasn’t visible so I just left it as is.
The booknook is adorable and lovely. ![]()

Sorry to hear things broke when getting the liece in place. You dont see it so that’s nice
Such a beautiful book nook. Great job @Kim_Kieffer
Despite the little hiccup, you’ve managed to complete this kit and it’s looking good! I love book nooks too they’re neat decorations! ![]()
I did the same with the wine alley. I always check my boards and sure enough found a piece that went all the way in the back. I was able to remove back panel and place it. Pheeewww. I lucked out that time. Glad you were able to make it work out!
Your book nook looks beautiful
I don’t even notice that there are broken pieces on it.
I think you did an amazing job! And no need to worry about missing peace, as everyone has this case once or twice. Still your booknook looks fab ![]()
@Kim_Kieffer Congrats on finishing; looking super good!
It looks great! I had the exact same piece left…I didn’t add it as I figured no one would know. Lol
I have this book book in my growing stash. I was drawn to the large red chair. Thanks for the tip on checking as you go.
Congrats on finishing your 27th project, that’s impressive! Even with the hiccup, it turned out lovely, and those little details really make this book nook special.
