I really like this rug!, April 29, 2009 Albeit, the price is a little high, but it goes with everything. I had bought this rug first, whereas, I purchased a sofa to match the dark brown in the design. Unfortunately, the sofa manufacturer made a mistake, and no longer had the sofa in the color that I wanted. So I got a lighter substitution, paired it up with throw pillows and draperies from Target (in the-- I believe it was "River Rock" color), and it matches great. I am very pleased with the way that it turned out.

The white in the comforter isn't white., April 29, 2009 I purchased two of these for my daughters, and seeing the word "set", I immediately though, comforter, sham, and sheets. It only came as a comforter and sham, which I was disappointed with, and had to return. The white in the design, wasn't white at all, and was more of a cream color. The comforters reminded me of old blankets that have aged in an attic or basement for year, and obviously looked vintage upon pulling them out. What a bummer this was, as I had to return them, yet still pay the shipping costs. I would recommend that anyone buyin linens see them in-person rather than online.

The color onscreen looks like a beautiful sea green..., April 29, 2009 However upon receiving them via mail, they appeared dingy, and more of a dull, grayish green than anything. I was very disappointed, and even had a small hassle for getting my shipping costs returned for advertising a product that wasn't true to the photo. I would definitely recommend anyone to do their linen shopping in the actual store, where they are able to see the color firsthand.

Arabian Nights Silk Pillow - Cypress (16x22")
 |

Very pretty pillow, April 29, 2009 In fact, I would give it 5 stars, if it were not for the ridiculously high prices. I had originally bought it for my bedroom (because the blue appears more of a dusky blue on my computer screen). However, when I received it, I realized it was more of a turquoise to it. It goes well with the Rocky River color that Target offers, so I was able to place it on my sectional in the living room. The cover is able to come off, which makes it simple to deliver to the dry cleaners. And it is of a good weight for an accent pillow.

Great for maybe staging or for an apartment..., April 29, 2009 When assembling these bookcases, I could not help but notice how light these wood pieces were. It was as if I was handling wood-infused foam. Beware if you have these pieces on the floor, and do not watch where you are standing, as they would more than easily break in half. (They are so light, my 30lbs 3-year old, could karate chop it even.) If you are trying to achieve a look, they're fine. If you live in an apartment, they are great, because they are not that heavy to carry up stairs. But if you want durability and something that will last, you're probably better off saving your money until you are able to invest it into something of better quality.

I would save up toward a better piece of quality furniture, January 29, 2009 I bought 2 of these units today to act as side shelving to my tv cabinet. The color, size, and scratch-proof veneer (as I have kids who are bound to bang into it with toys), appealed to me.
However, I am going to say that I am somewhat disappointed in the quality. When I was pulling out the pieces from the box, I couldn't help but notice how incredibly light they felt. In fact, I was comparing it to the styrofoam packaging that came with it. (I was glad that I decided to assemble this after the kids went to bed, because if my 28lbs. toddler were to step on a piece, I know she would have cracked it for sure.) I don't think that it's going to be able to hold a lot of weight (such as that from a lot of books), without bowing a little bit.
Before you invest $into this product, consider saving up a little more toward a piece of furniture that does not run the risk of falling apart, and will last over time.

A lot sturdier than the other advents in the store, December 26, 2008 My husband bought this for our toddler to start a Christmas countdown tradition with her. I've seen some of the other advent calendars at Target, unfortunately with some of the flimsy wooden doors broken, etc. This one however, is very sturdy, and has magnets to keep the door shut. The only drawback, is that the little wood piece inside to hold the magnet, blocks adult fingers from getting in to help pull the candy out (so sometimes, you have to tip it forward-- where the magnetic doors come in handy, to keep everything from falling out). Overall, it's a good deal, and I would recommend it for the novelty.

I like it, but my toddler has a different opinion, October 26, 2008 I saw this online, and thought it would look cute on my 2.9 year old. However, she complains that the back elastic on the waist is too bulky and stiff; rubbing against her back. I can see how it is, but it's too bad that they couldn't construct it a little differently.

Pretty dress shirt., October 26, 2008 My 2.9 year old loves this blouse. She's always begging me to let her wear it, because it's so silky. It's easy to wash, quick to dry. And for the price, it's one of those "princessy" shirts that you can throw on, and not worry about, if the jelly falls on it.

Good for cooler weather., October 26, 2008 This looks cute over a long-sleeved tee and a pair of jeans. It keeps her warm during those fall days when a jacket is too much. And it looks cute, too.
