5-Shelf Bookcase - Cherry
 |
|
Great Bookcase for the Price, November 17, 2006 As some of the other reviews note, this isn't a top-of-the-line bookcase. However, it was easy to assemble and a bracket to attach the case to the wall is included (and strongly recommended by the manufacturer). The finish is good for this price range and true to the illustration. I loaded mine with books From The Bottom Up a few weeks ago and it's doing fine. We use the two we bought in spare rooms, for which they are suitable.

Metal Box Frame - Oval (4x6")

Gorgeous, Great Buy, November 17, 2006 Frame is very well made and beautiful. The cloisonne decorations are light green, which doesn't show up in the photo-illustration.

Flare Glassware 12-pc. Set - Blue
 |

Terrific Buy, November 17, 2006 The glasses look great and are of medium weight. Definitely not for small children but otherwise versatile. Outstanding price!

Sutton Quilt Top Bedspread Navy- Queen
 |
|
Average, November 17, 2006 The fabric is stiff and while the main body of the spread is stiched properly, the dropped panels around the skirt are not hemmed - they used the selvage end of the fabric instead. The color is true to the picture and does have the slight variations you'd expect in a denim tone. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know how it will hold up. It is not permanent-press.

Do the Job, November 16, 2006 These storage containers are well-made and do the job, particularly for long strands of pasta, which is what I bought them for. However, they aren't very attractive, if you plan to leave them out to view.

Nice But Images Blurry, November 16, 2006 This rug is well-made but the images shown in the drawing are blurry because the pile is somewhat shaggy. Nevertheless, it makes a good dinette rug, which is how I use it under a round table. Bottom line: a bit pricey.

Fieldcrest Classic Bath Rug - Shiny Silver (24Lx17W" Rectangle)
 |
|
Beautiful, well-made, good backing, August 18, 2006 I'm very pleased with this rug. It's plush but not garish, seems to be well-made (no shedding) and the "slip-proof" backing is excellent.

Looks great, easy to insert art., June 24, 2006 A no-brainer best buy. The chocolate brown color looks great and mellow. Finish is a nice matte.

Beautiful, elegant and comfortable, March 19, 2006 The title above says it all, and I'll add well-made. The chairs are a bit on the large side, however - measure before you buy. I plan to buy seat-pads but the chair is comfortable without one. The pictures don't do justice to the top-quality detail work around the frame of the chair back. Note: Two (of four) chairs were damaged in the first delivery - we could tell because the box was smashed. So check before you accept the delivery if at all possible.

Large Cart With Wood Top - Red

Well-made, March 19, 2006 We are delighted with our new kitchen "island." The extra storage space is great to have and the top is a good size on which to assemple and prepare a meal. The various components ae sturdy and seem well-made. I think a few earlier reviewers said they assembled it by themselves - more power to them. Most of the time one person could do it, but there are a few sticky moments in the beginning. The insructions are clear, however, and easy to follow.
