What a life saver!, April 21, 2007 I bought this for a week long trip to Costa Rica for my three month old son, and I'm so glad I did. We lost our diaper bag in the airport and this collapsible crib totally saved us. It's really easy to set up or take down (even doable with one hand for you supermoms out there) and it is exceptionally lightweight and portable. It's also a fantastic changing table - the walls give you extra privacy so you needn't worry about offending or disrupting others around you, and the velcro pockets on the outside can hold several diapers and wipes. If you have a young baby or are expecting and you plan on traveling, I sincerely recommend this to you. Fantastic buy!

awesome kitchen tool!, November 30, 2006 Anyone who loves avocadoes should definitely buy this item. All you have to do is cut the fruit in half and remove the stone, and you are one quick swipe away from getting the most beautifully shaped slices of avocado! Perfect for salads or appetizers, or even making guacamole - this nifty little gadget makes it easy to get all of the fruit away from the skin. KitchenAid has done it again.

very nice, November 29, 2006 These glasses have a delicate look but are heavier than expected when you pick them up. They go nicely with the red wine glasses. Great size and shape.

very nice, November 29, 2006 These goblets are great - They are delicate looking, but when you pick them up they are heavier than you expect. Good quality. I love the shape and size of them as well.

Amazing, of course, November 29, 2006 Where to start? These things are fantastic. I've used mine for making breads and pies and mixing all sorts of things. I can't wait to get some of the attachments! I definitely reccommend one for any kitchen. A must-have.

great set, November 29, 2006 I originally purchased bedding from another collection, but my husband wanted some flanel sheets for winter. I couldn't find any that matched the bedding we already had, so I bought this collection. I LOVE it. The dark brown duvet is heavy and warm, and the material is thick and retains shape very well. I have one of each of the different shams (one gold and one brown) and I love the way they go on - not like normal shams where it's just a pocket in the center where you put your pillow... One buttons on, and the other has a hidden zipper. Much higher quality! I also have the gold quilt, which is beautiful. The sheets and pillow cases are cotton but they are silky in the most wonderful way! Only downside is the lack of bedskirt for the collection. I reccommend the bedskirt from the Fieldcrest Luxury - Jacquard Scroll set, as it's very nice and matches quite well with this set.

doesn't wash well, November 29, 2006 I purchased almost this entire collection for my bed about 6 months ago. I have the duvet, two pillowcases, two euro shams, sheets, bed skirt, roll pillow, woven throw pillow, and the velvety throw pillow. When I first got it home, I was completely in love with it. I washed everything and was disappointed in the results after washing. (I washed everything in cold water and dried it on the fluff-air setting) Every piece came out very wrinkled around the edges - especially the euro shams. I tried ironing them, but it didn't help much. The material is thin enough where it doesn't hold shape very well, and everything wrinkles easily. The material also shrunk slightly around where the decorative stitching is on the fitted sheet and the pillowcases, making the overall shape of them a little off. They're nice, but it's no fun to iron your bed sheets.
