Frequently Asked Questions
How much space does it take up on the shelf?
When assembled, it measures about 11 x 18 x 23 cm; the longest side is 23 cm. This means it fits between two books on a standard bookshelf shelf. Just check beforehand to make sure you have 23 cm of space available.
How do the light and dust protection features work?
You turn the LED light on and off using a touch switch; the battery compartment is hidden. You'll need 2 AAA batteries, which are not included in the set. An acrylic panel protects the workshop from dust, yet you can still see every detail.
Who would this make a good gift for?
It is recommended for ages 14 and up. It is intended for people who prefer to work with their hands rather than just watch, and for anyone with a passion for workshops and tinkering. It’s perfect for people who already have everything they need but lack time for themselves.
Can I do this even without any experience?
This set is rated Level 3 out of 5 (medium). You'll assemble the 374 pieces using the illustrated instructions included in the package. Plan on spending four to six hours on it.
Do I need glue or tools?
Inside the box are the wooden pieces, the LED light with a touch switch, the acrylic dust cover, a sheet of stickers, a pair of tweezers, a sanding stick, and the illustrated instructions in German and English. For the delicate parts, we recommend our Magic Craft Glue: It dries crystal clear, provides a strong bond, and adheres well to acrylic and plastic. This ensures there are no visible glue residues. You’ll need to provide the 2 AAA batteries yourself.
What if a part is missing or breaks?
Our spare parts service is free: Just tell us which part you need, and we'll send it to you as soon as possible. Support is available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an average response time of about 30 minutes. Shipped from Berlin · Free shipping on orders of €35 or more.
Structure, Lighting, and Impact
That's the dream of having your own workshop.
Independent. Undisturbed. All to yourself.

MagicHolz that workshop feeling to your shelves. A project that demands focus and rewards you with pride. And that stays with you in the end—as a symbol of craftsmanship, patience, and that special kind of freedom that only comes when you do the work yourself 🔧.
A place for tinkerers—even if it's just between two books.
