Anyone's teens with book nook DIY kit experience?

For 18-year-old very into anything books and stationery/crafting/steampunk/dark academia/magic.

She loves getting lost in a fiddly project, is patient and needs a de-stress between studying.

I spotted these book nook kits as a 'potential' idea.
No personal experience of late-teens, though. Would it likely appeal to that age group?

Any opinions welcome!

Bumping this because I would also like to know if anyone has any recommendations!

I bought my 14 year old daughter one last Xmas- the diagon alley one from Etsy. She didn’t want to paint it but did enjoy putting it together. I got one with lights. Looks nice on the shelf. Was around £20 I think.
you could try a small one to see if she lies it?

I have made two of the Sakura book nooks. They are incredibly detailed and great fun to make. There are some cheap copies on Amazon so check the reviews.
I got mine from this company, their customer service was amazing as well when I messed up the wiring, they sent me a replacement part free of charge.
I’ve done the Japanese one and now doing the train station.

This sounds ideal. I'll have a peruse on Etsy.

Thanks for your input, folks. Very helpful.

I quite fancy trying one myself, having perused some YouTube demos!

@Livinginanotherworld That IS good customer service indeed.
