I love it, it’s a beautiful surprise for all my guest.It’s a little expensive but good quality.

I bought a bunch of these for gifts (will have to return one because I got a bit carried away). Very well made. Don't be fooled by the cheap knock offs, these are the original bookcase alley and are well worth it!

Bought as a gift for my wife. She absolutely loves this item. The detail is awesome. Loves that it lights up.Shipped in a timely manner and was very well packed.

Great buy

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.

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.
