The Darkness Herbarium DIY Book Nook Kit 7 in by Wizardi F07M5-32-CWGA202

A tall emerald-green gothic cabinet crowned with gold spires and a The Darkness Herbarium crest: behind its paneled door, arched niches hold a specimen cabinet of bottled curiosities, crows perched on a little terrace, a lectern with an open herbal book and a red phoenix on its stand, while a glowing teal magic portal shines from the side panel and a lantern lights the shelves.

A little crafter's folklore: old herbalists said the strongest remedies were gathered by moonlight, and miniaturists like to light this cabinet only after dark.

Why this kit: if you love dark academia and gothic fantasy, this nook is rich in green and gold detail, an easy 2 hour build rated one star for difficulty.

In the box: laser-cut wooden sheets for the book nook case and the layered shop interior, printed figures, signs and backdrop pieces, tiny props, an LED light with a touch switch and hidden battery box, an opening front door, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a magical street-shop book nook series in the same 11.5 x 10 x 17 cm case, so the Soul Travel Agency, Darkness Herbarium, Fantasy Plant Shop and Amazing Toys Store line up into a little enchanted street between your books. Build tip: build the shop interior from the back panel forward, route the light wire as you go and test the touch switch before closing the side walls, then fit the roof crest and door last.

Size: 11.5 x 10 x 17 cm (4.5 x 3.9 x 6.7 in), 90 wooden pieces. A bookshelf insert that glows between your books at night, and a memorable gift for fantasy readers. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
