 So far, so good -TIL NOW!!!, July 9, 2008
*Updated 2/1/09----The players worked fine until about three weeks ago, when we noticed we could not get a picture on the 2nd screen. Even after fidgeting with the AV out cable, we still had no luck. So, since we have all three little kids in the middle row of the SUV, the youngest has to strain to see the player that's two seats over. Luckily, I purchased the warranty and will be taking these back for repair or exchange. Basically, we barely got six months' use out of this. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!
After doing much research on this type of player, I decided on this one. I purchased the warranty because it seems none of these systems are without faults at some point. At the time of my purchase, there was only one review, but it was 5 stars, so I went for it even though there was another brand on sale for [price] less. All the reviews I read on that one were terrible. I have just a couple of issues with this...For one, I had the opposite problem another reviewer had - if I put the AV cable all the way in, I got sound but no picture. If it was just half-way in, I got both. Obviously, that's not practical, so I contemplated taking it back, but after a while, it stopped doing that. Second, I didn't realize there would be cables everywhere - the cable that connects the two players and the double-ended adapter. Third, only the primary player's batter can be charged, the second always has to be plugged in to the car lighter. Fourth, you always have to push the "AV out" button every time or the second unit will have no picture. Fifth, whenever you want to change the dvd, you have to take the unit out of the mounting case - a little difficult for a child to do. Last but not least, whenever you turn the car off and then back on, the dvd will start from the very beginning, not wherever you left off watching it. All of these things are a bit of a inconvenience, but overall, we're happy with it. The sound is great (and adjustable) and the picture is great, too (a little clearer on the main player). The kids enjoy it. It made our 3 1/2-hour long trip to Ocean City, MD with three little ones (4,5,& 6 yrs.old) bearable!

 Very happy, May 8, 2008
This arrived today, along with the 3pc. table set, in perfect condition. It was so easy to put together - it took me about 1/2 hour, including the tables. It is very sturdy and firm. I wish the cushions on the loveseat were as firm! Adds a nice touch to the chair. Overall, very happy with the Milano Espresso collection. Great value.

Very happy, May 8, 2008
We received these, along with the ottoman, today (we got the loveseat and chair a few weeks ago) and they arrived in great condition, with a LOT of foam packing included. For the price (25% off and free shipping), they are a great value. The coffee table is a little bigger than I expected (my fault - I didn't pay close attention to the measurements), but we like the simplicity of the pieces. I put them together myself (hubby was thankful!) and it took all of 1/2 hour, including assembly of the ottoman. Overall, we're very happy with the Milano Espresso collection so far.

Milano Espresso and Mocha Chair

Very nice for the price!, April 5, 2008
We bought this, along with the loveseat. I've decided to change our sunroom (furnished with white wicker) into a second living room, for my daughter to entertain her friends. It arrived only two days after ordering.
The wood trim is more mahogany than espresso, but I knew this beforehand from other reviews. The cushions are very comfortable. It kinda moves when you go to get up from it, but we'll be buying an area rug soon and I think that will eliminate that problem. The seat cushions on the loveseat aren't perfectly smooth across the front, but the one on this chair is.
I've never bought furniture sight unseen ,but overall, we're happy with the purchase. [...]

Nice for the money, April 5, 2008
I decided to change my wicker-furnished sunroom into a second living room, so my teenaged daughter could have somewhere (away from her much yonger siblings) to entertain her friends. I didn't want to spend a ton of money, was looking around, and found this. I bought it, along with the chair. The price wasn't bad, especially with the 15% off and free shipping!
It arrived in two days! My husband surprised me and put it together while I was at work. He said it didn't take long at all and wasn't difficult to put together by himself.
I'm agreement with others about the color of the wood trim - it's more mahogany/deep red (when I think "espresso" I think really dark brown/almost black). But, I was expecting this after reading other reviews so it's not a problem for me.
You don't sink into the cushions, but they're not hard either. Very comfortable. There are a few knicks here and there (but they could be hubby's doing!) and the seat cushions on the loveseat are not smooth across the front (they're a little "wrinkled"). The seat cushion on the chair is perfectly smooth, though. We'll be ordering the ottoman, too. It also "moves" with you when you go to get up, but we're planning to put an area rug down anyway, so I'm thinking that will take care of that.
Not a set I would want for a formal room or to last forever, but for our purpose of accomodating teenagers, I think it'll work just fine.

Kids LOVE it!, December 27, 2007
We got this for our six-year-old for Christmas and she (and my other children) absolutely love it! I did my homework befor purchasing it and I found this one had better reviews than the other children's digital cameras ou there. It takes great pictures, which the kids can easily edit, plus the kids can play games on it. It's been dropped a few times and still workds great. The buttons are great for kids to use and understand. The best gift we got her this year!

daughter loves it, February 22, 2007
We bought this as a Christmas gift for our thirteen-year-old daughter and she's had no problems with it so far. She likes the sleek, black design and it's great when she loses her iPod charger (which happnes every other day).

great bookcase!, February 22, 2007
We wanted a tall bookcase for the living room, but didn't want a standard-type bookcase. We wanted something a little "different". I had decided to break down and buy one from [an upscale store]. when we went into Target (looking for patio furniture) and happened upon this. I'm so glad we did. First off, we saved a lot of money. Also, it perfectly matches the coffee table and end tables we already had. It only took my husband about twenty minutes to put together. I like that you can tether it to the wall (we have little kids) and you can have it as far out or as close to the wall as you like. So far, we're very happy with this purchase.
