Peanuts Storybook Corner Book Nook Kit with Snoopy Figurine

Yin and Yang
I was frustrated while assembling it as a lot of the smaller pieces specifically including ladder stairs and tiny connectors were too thick for the slots in which they were supposed to fit. That’s really the only complaint that I have about the kit, but it was such a rough experience which ended up putting my fingertips through some major pains by the end of it that lasted through the next day that I felt it important to mention and be clear about.

Otherwise, pretty much everything else snapped into place, securely and without a struggle into the corresponding pieces. You’ll see in my pictures that I accidentally put the front panel on the opposite side it was meant to be on so the Woodstock sign is on the opposite side as it’s designed to be. It didn’t affect the fit nor where anything else was placed and was so tightly snapped in for a perfect fit that though I tried to safely wiggle it out to flip it over I wasn’t able to and didn’t want to cause any damage or anything like that to the rest of the nook so I kept it that way. I wanted to be clear about that, and it was the only mistake that I made.

There are a ton of little books. You layer some pieces with a connector that are meant to fit together in order to make these thicker books that look like multiples in a stack and then many more that are single books. All of the stickers came off easily from the sheet, affixed to the wood really easily and were a perfect fit.

The massive amount of books allowed for wiggle room in placement, so I decided on a slightly different design than the EXACT design that’s in the listing and instruction book cover picture, but it honestly doesn’t much matter as there’s no specific directions to tell you exactly which book goes where, so it allows you a little wiggle room for customization!

The little ‘item’ pieces that stand up by pushing into the wall shelf shelves fit in without a hitch and look really nice. The directions are primarily diagrams which are pretty straightforward. Assembly is broken up into chunks which makes it simple to pull out the pieces you need, assemble them to match the diagram and then put together. The cabinets were fun to put together and the design of the nook as a whole I think looks nice because everything compliments where it stands next to each other.

The little Charlie Brown comes with a little stand. The plants come with stickers for the pots and are simple to put together with ‘piece numbers’ labeled on the sheet with the paper plants which are not stickers and make a really nice little filled out plant. The bottom hole to fit the ladder was less deep than any other ‘hole’ and though it fit, it wasn’t a great fit. Thankfully, the top of the ladder that gently grasps over the top of one of the bookshelves was good enough that the ladder didn’t fall down.

Many of the pieces for the inside of the nook are on the thinner side. The walls being the thickest and simplest to put together. I think the roof tiles with the comic strips which are printed on a waxy paper look really great and make the design super unique and special.

The colors are super vibrant and there weren’t any printing irregularities on any of the pieces. The majority of the stickers that went on the bulletin board had peeling edges. I ended up using some of the included glue to make sure they were a flush fit with the wall.

If the plethora of small pieces that were considerably larger than the holes they corresponded with to attach to the nook weren’t awful to fit together, and the stickers on the back had a better grip, this would be a 5 star kit. That being said, I think the current list price of $59.99 is way too steep. I would place the value of the kit as a whole at about $45 tops.
