 Motor Mount, July 22, 2009
I purchased this to mount a Minn Kota Endura 50 42" Trolling Motor to our Pelican Monaco DLX 5-Passenger Pedal
Boat with Canopy. Worked out great! Now we can take longer trips in our pedal boat.

Hand Painted Accent Tables, July 22, 2009
PROS: 1. Beautifully painted leaves with 3 shades of green, flowers are orange, yellow and maroon/burgundy colors 2. Stamped tropical leaf pattern on top surface 3. Lined drawers including all four sides and bottom 4. Arrived 90% assembled
CONS: 1. Arrived with some paint scratched off the front of one of the tables 2. Light-medium weight 3. Drawers are very thin, light-weight and some were not lined up properly e.g. the gaps between the top and bottom of the drawers were not all equal. 4. Price
I bought two of these tables to use as night tables in my Florida vacation rental. They're gorgeous pieces of furniture, that match my bedding perfectly! So much so, that it looks as if the tables were painted to make the bedding. They were not exactly the same (stain wise), but they're hand painted, so I expected them to vary.
They basically arrived assembled, all I had to do was attach the 4 legs with a bolt, washer and nut. The packaging was very thin cardboard boxes, with a piece of MDF board on top each table, to protect it (which was broken at the corner). Each drawer was draped with a thick packing paper and had those little moisture packets in them.
Although the tables look expensive, I feel that even the discounted price is too high. Because they're mainly made of some sort of light and medium-weight fiber or particle boards. It would be better priced under a hundred.
Overall: I've received nice reviews from everyone so far. I am happy with the way these tables blended into the room, but if I had seen/felt them in person I would have waited for the price to drop even lower before buying. I wish I could post photos with my review, but they're true enough to the online photo.

Tall, Heavy & Assembles Fast!, November 6, 2008
I am really surprised that no one has mentioned that this table is literally made of [..] wood. It's not one big piece of wood, it's actually a lot of small pieces that are similar to [..], even the legs are done this way. Nice way to make money with scrap pieces of wood. I personally don't mind it, but I certainly wasn't expecting it.
This table is very TALL, it's great for tall people!
Would also be good for gathers where people like to stand around but have a place for their drinks.
It was shipped in two different boxes, one large one with the table top and one smaller box with the instruction sheet, legs, allen wrench, bolts and washers. We assembled it very fast. It's a heavy table.

 Not very sturdy top/lid, August 19, 2008
I bought 2 of these to place at the end of my king-size bed and they are very attractive.
The insides are lined and are pretty deep which comes in handy for storing little extras that would have otherwise cluttered up my bedroom.
The tops/lids have a nice thick cushion on them however, they are not very sturdy.
My 4 yr. old plays them and lays on them when watching TV but when My 195 lb. hubby sat on one, he dented the top in.
I like them and I am happy that I bought them, I just wish I could have kept my hubby's butt off them. <smile>

Gorgeous Gazebo, everyone loves it!, August 19, 2008
I purchased this gazebo in June 2008, My hubby and nephew assembed it for me (after work) in a couple hours. It's very sturdy (it's screwed into the deck), no problems with it leaking and no problems with the roof. We take the fabric off at the end of the season but leave the entire frame up year round. I would have given it 5 stars but it doesn't come with privacy drapes, which I am use to having. I bought 8 palm tree print shower curtains and hooked them to the same hooks as the mosquito netting and I also bought the Home Havenbury Chandelier, which is very beautiful but due to the summer heat... I wish I had hung a ceiling fan instead and just kept my outdoor lamps...
Oh and it's NOT black in color, it's dark but not black. I personally like it that way, it's very elegant.
There is a lot of room in this gazebo too, I have a loveseat, coffee table, 2 side tables, chair, ottoman and a daybed in mine and it's not over crowded. I also bought my patio (gazebo) furniture from Target, I wish they still sold it, as I would like to add more items from that line. I wanted to share a photo, but there was no option to add one. If you like the style of this Gazebo, buy it! Don't read too much into the bad reviews, as some of the problems may be due to the way the gazebo is being cared for.

 Gorgeous Chandelier, August 19, 2008
This chandelier is gorgeous, what a wonderful addition to our gazebo.
We thought we were going to have to hard wire it but it actually comes with a plug! "How simple"
Very elegant chandelier but with the summer heat I wish I would have stuck with our outdoor lamps and put a ceiling fan up.

Not so Shabby Shams, August 19, 2008
Wow, what a deal I got on these.
They are so nice and look a lot better in person.
They are even quilted, very thick.
I am really happy with them.

Makes Creamy Mashed Potatoes, August 19, 2008
PROS...
My husband is a Baltimore City Firefighter and I made dinner for the fire house and the guys were very pleased with the texture of my mashed potatoes, they could not believe there were NO LUMPS at all!
CONS...
1. It gives your forearms a little work out.
2. The piece that smashes/pushes the potatoes thru the holes gets packed with potatoes and you have to keep scooping them off and re-feeding them through the ricer.
3. It gets surface rust if you do not towel dry it after washing.
Overall - even with the 3 CONS, I still choose to use this potato ricer over my hand mixer to make my mashed potatoes.

Beaded Table Lamp with Crystal Ornamentation

Very luxurious looking lamps w/o the luxurious price tag., March 24, 2006
I bought 2 with Free shipping. The shade is 2-3 shades lighter than the base & has a very similar pattern to Damask and even has an inner lining. The crystals are made of plastic & the top "octagon" shaped crystals are held on by antique looking nails w/heads & the lower tear drop shaped crystals are held on by rings like those found on key tags auto dealers/repair shops use. But I must admit when sunlight hits them a rainbow of colors dance off the walls as well as it does from the "pineapple" shaped finials that "are" glass with a beveled Harlequin pattern. The base has the look & feel of plaster. The ornate metal base they refer to in the description is the pole that runs up the center of the lamp & holds the wires. It is Brass/Gold tone @ the top & painted cream down thru the middle. Speaking of cream these lamps are not distressed white or even off white they are a cream color, which I am quite pleased with. Even though the Chandelier Drapery Hardware I bought from [another site] to go with the lamps "is" off white. I plan to spray paint the drapery hardware cream to better match the lamps. I am quite pleased with the purchases of my lovely new lamps and matching Chandelier rods. I would recommend both to others & just did.=0)

Very Cute Curtains, March 23, 2006
They are light weight but the graphics and colors help keep out harsh sunlight. My son loves them.
