Book nook details

The scene works like a street corner frozen at happy hour. A row of painted plates hangs under the eaves, above red paper lanterns and a chalkboard menu. Inside, a lucky cat waves from the back shelf, next to mugs and dishes waiting for the evening rush. Two wooden stools stand at the counter, facing the register and a hand-written Happy Hour sign. By the entrance, a shiba inu wearing a green bandana sits under the street lamp, clearly a regular. Potted plants and stone tiles finish the sidewalk.

Can I get replacement pieces if something breaks or is missing?

Is it too complicated for younger children to assemble?
