SL07 Detective Agency Book Nook DIY | Diorama with LED Lights

Every Book in the Room Is Evidence.

The SL07 Detective Agency kit ("Detective Famous Agency" on the cover) builds a famous detective's private study between your books. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves climb the walls with a rolling library ladder, a giant clock face fills the back wall like a window, and the floor below is a comfortable mess of open books, papers and a reading chair pulled up to the desk. A gilded filigree gable crowns the top, and the dark navy spine carries the agency name in gold. Lit from inside, it glows warm amber like a study where the lamp never goes out.
