Great bookends. A clever and subtle design that holds up the books on my desk. Sticky pads on the bottom keep them from slipping.

Great book ends. They are super sturdy as well as a delight to look at. These book ends will hold up just about any size or weight books. Well worth the money.

The bookends make a nice addition to my DVD collection. My 75+ DVDs stand on a shelf that hangs over my TV and I needed something to keep them falling, and these things do not budge, even on a slick surface like my IKEA shelf. I've received numerous compliments on the bookends. They're the perfect weight and are very sleek. It's also a great size to match up against the size of a DVD case.

Very useful, nice finish, worth the price. FOr someone who is a book lover, these bookends are just what you need to finish the rows.

HOLY COW its like amazon sent me two little dwarf movers. These guys are heavy and really hold their own against all of my mini truckin mags! Packaged correctly, faces in tact, no chips!

It is risible to claim that most of these singers have been forgotten; there have been many LP and CD re-issues. Nevertheless this contains many rare and hard-to-get items of real girl power, most of them started singing in their teens and attracted the best session musicians. I would have been happier listening to Kate Smith (perhaps the Charleston Chasers session) in preference to Helen Morgan. And a few of the tracks suffer from surface noise that should have been overcome. But these are minor cavils, and far outweighed by the delights; the lost innocence that is effortlessly captured by the Annette Hanshaw tracks, the electrifying introduction by Frances Langford to "Stormy Weather", the sheer power generated by The Boswell Sisters swing (in contrast, Connie's solo tracks are quite sedate affairs). And listening to Ethel Waters "I Just Couldn't Take It Baby" made me wonder how much she'd been influenced by Sophie Tucker - or was it the other way round?Nan Wynn may have come to the fore merely in the absence of Billie Holiday but how providential that was can be heard clearly on her two featured tracks, and leaves one wanting more. Similarly, Ginny Simms deserves to be better known and her second track features the great Eddie South - an added bonus indeed.So four stars out of five but an unreserved recommendation that you splash out the modest purchase price and hear what the best girl singers had to offer while they had the chance.

I am certainly not expert in this type of music; just like it. I bought this for Christmas for a friend and loved it. Bought it for myself and listen and listen to it. I think it is absolutely wonderful and the booklet tells you something about each artist. This is simply great listening and maybe a dance step or two:>)

This is an hilarious compilation of old 20's and 30's songs written about men BY men. Supposedly you could not lawfully change the gender in songs to suit the crooner. So what you have is a very nice list of songs with a gay twist. Joe Haymes has an especially good time when he tells the horn soloist, "OH YOU CAN REALLY BLOW THAT THING!". Harold Lom tells you he's got his man... who could ask for anything more?, Cliff Edwards ask, "why don'tcha come up and see me sometime hummm?" and the lead singer of the Clevelanders sounds a trifle TOO serious when he sings of his "hope chest" which has his bridle gown hidden away! The re-recorded quality is superb and hopefully this CD will become available again. Possibly with a part 2?

Reviews

This is a great disc especially with the current latin " revival" This was first and , tho instrumental , probably the best It has tinges of "the sting " but masses of passion and flair A must for the sophisticated refugee from the 60's

Nice looking and compact in size, these look great hanging on the camper awning - so much nicer than typical plastic party lights.

The lights are great. Even though they are small in size, there are six lights per string. We hung them around are giant patio umbrella and along the back of our house. They look great in the early evening, and when it is dark, they provide a great ambiance. Our guests continually admire them. We will buy more in the future because of the quality and appearance. One drawback, the green cord that is between each light is braided and thick and should be tucked away.

Reviews

I love this lamp! It's beautiful and elegant and looks wonderful on my nightstands. I would highly recommend it.

I purchased this lamp for a small bedside table and absolutely love it! The base feels like solid glass and the 3-way adjustable light is convenient. The shade's color is more of an "off-white" compared to the picture, but is still very pretty. I plan to purchase a second one.

Reviews

The skin was easily applied with no air-bubbles or errors and the tips online were very useful. It lined up perfectly and the material allows for reapplication if you need to peel it up and retry. I would of liked to purchase a skin to match the rest of the Xbox, but the faceplate looks good by itself.

The skin itself looks great. It goes and comes off very easily. It just takes some time to get the skin on perfect, but don't worry if you mess up you can just take it off and re-adjust it. I also recommend getting the whole set for the whole 360 because it looks kind of awkward with just the white plastic on the sides. Also see my Customer Pictures®.

I've enjoyed this for three years. It's time for a replacement but this "kind" will certainly be my choice. It's really a very good mousepad. And the designs are great.

Reviews

Extremely disappointed. If you're not willing or able to present the Art Deco features of the buildings in detail why bother? Oh! silly me, to make a buck. Low ball the production and then try to disguise the crap shooting (pssst! hey guys, tripod = good) with cheesy sepia tone scratched film filters in iMovie. As to the portrayal of Art Deco, for some reason the focus here seems to be only on towers. Bullock's of course, but how can one do a video on the Art Deco of Los Angeles and leave out the Griffith Observatory? Hmmm, probably no parking lot three blocks away to sneak bandit shots from because you're too lazy or cheap to do it properly. Interesting how everyone outside of LA still views it as the media production capital, but the reality is for every talented, skilled professional in LA, there are a hundred wannabe posers. Guess which group the producers of this video are from.

Reviews

Great set of lip balms that you won't see anywhere else. The product is terrific and the tins unique. Give as a gift or separate. A great buy.

Reviews

Plain and simple. is about half the price of the O.E.M. filter and does the same thing, cant be beat

Reviews

Very finely made and looks great. The problem for me is that the cover of the teapot wobbling big time, contacted Amazon and they quickly sent me a replacement set. I think Amazon service is one of the best around.

I've always wanted something - anything - in this pattern and the very affordable price for this 3-piece set enabled me to finally get my wish. My only regret is that it is no longer made in England. The set is made in Indonesia, is very beautiful, and it has the nice look and feel of fine porcelain. The packaging within its original box was excellent, even including a mesh protector over the spout of the teapot. However, for shipping, the original box was placed inside another larger box with only crumpled paper as a buffer. I think styrofoam in some form would have been superior, especially for a product of this caliber. I could feel the original box sliding in the larger box. All in all, the teapot, creamer and sugar is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ordering this set to anyone who wants one.

I was pleased with the 3 Piece Tea Set made in China. The design (the old country roses) is beautiful and the china looks sturdy (in a delicate kind of way). Again, the tea cup and saucer ordered at the same time and shipped separately made in Indonesia appears of much inferior quality. Again the 3 Piece Tea Set made in China is just gorgeous. I am very pleased. It will look absolutely elegant on my antique Tea Cart. Again my question is, when you order the Royal Albert Old Country Roses Dinnerware, how do you know ahead of time if it was manufactured in China or Indonesia???

It is beautiful and shipped perfectly. I have 2 of the Royal Albert Old Country Rose 24-Dinnerware Piece Set, Service for 4 and now with the Tea Set feel it is almost complete. This set is gorgeous, I am very happy with every piece.

[...] offers this Royal Albert Old Country Roses tea set at an amazing price. This is a beautiful tea set, the tea pot is quite large. Unfortunately, the internal packaging for my set was insufficient and the lid to the tea pot was broken. Amazon arranged for a very quick UPS pickup and credited my account immediately for the return. The set is beautiful, the price is great....hopefully other sets are correctly packaged to arrive intact.

Reviews

Wonderful, beautiful. Since I'm a "rose buff" this was something I couldn't pass up. Also, it looks perfect in my lighted china cabinet.

NICE DISHES BUT THE REST OF THE ORDER I HAD TO REPORT NOT ARRIVED. RECEIVED REFUND FROM AMAZON. SELLER SHOULD HAVE PRODUCT IN HAND WHEN OFFERING FOR SALE WAITED SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE I CONTACTED AMAZON. AFTER NOT HEARING FROM THE SELLER FOR SOME TIME. NO RESPONSE TO SEVERAL EMAILS.ORIGINALLY ORDERED THREE SETS OF THESE.

As I've said in a previous post, I like this set. I received it as a gift and I like it very much. I would have expected it to be a 'finer' china but it is very nice the way it is for it's price. It's nice but it's not so thin you'd be afraid to use it. That's what I like most about the set I have, I will use it to an extent because it is not as thin as if it was over $500. I agree with other reviews, in a world where restaurants are the norm, it's nice to own your own fine china and not be afraid to use it. I plan on adding to my new collection. Customer service from Royal Doulton is awesome so don't fret! A-

The dishes arrived a few days earlier, to my pleseant surprise. The price was less than at Macy's, even with their super sale and coupons. I am very pleased with my purchase through Amazon. Lenore Flanagan

For sixty dollars per place setting you expect quality. I think I got what I expected. I found no flaws, was impressed by the quality of the gold and other 'old country roses' design features, and feel I've risen to a new level of civility! A high quality place setting will do that for you. These are well made in indonesia, not england. Better made than my indonesian teak lawn furniture, which isn't too shoddy itself regarding quality. You must feel you need this Royal Albert place setting, as well as the large selection of additional table pieces, or it won't mean anything to you. The pleasure you get from it is internal, in your own mind. It helps you to feel thoroughly middle class, not to put too fine a point on it. And what's wrong with that? With all the dumbing down of culture as this century gets rolling toward that 'restaurant at the end of the universe,' why should we deny ourselves the pleasure of owning, maybe even using, this fine china. Now that you have decided to get it, you need a china server! See my 'all my reviews' section for a review of an antique teak piece for an astonishing price. Next, start thinking about all the other pieces, gravy boats etc., you will want to accumulate over the years to complete your set. Don't take out a second (or third) mortgage on the house to do it though! Recommended.

This stuff smells great and this is an excellent price for it. It arrived in a couple of days with free delivery and was well packaged. What more could you ask?

My husband has been using this for 37 years since our honeymoon in Jamaica. It is no longer a good product. It is simply alchohol and a little scent. There is no bay leaf in the bottle. Don't waste your money. They have reduced this product to nothing when it was the most fabulous after shave ever before.

Last week I bought a bottle of "Royall Bay Rhum" from my normal supplier. I don't go through a bottle but every few years. Evidently, it has been near six years since my last purchase, because the Bermuda people sold out to a USA concern six years ago, and now the marque is formulated in the USA. This recent bottle is H2O and alcohol with a fraction of the oils of the Bermuda product. I had an e-mail conversation about my and my wife's impressions. The Bermuda Royall contact stated that the ingredients are the same, but the US Customs somehow regulates how much of the key oils can be used in the US product. My wife used to love this. She noticed immediately that the new bottle has only a little of the impact of the fragrance and no depth. I have a bit of the old product, and she can tell the difference right away. So, about $38 for a 4 oz. bottle for nothing. I recommend not buying this product. You will find it now unsatisfying compared to what you bought several years ago. Now I need to try to find another Bay Rum(Rhum) product that is satisfying to my wife and me.

I first tried Royall Bay Rhum about 40 years ago when I bought a bottle in the USVI. I really enjoyed its understated scent which I guess one could call "manly". Perhaps it's just my memory, but I seem to recall the scent being quite a bit stronger and certainly a lot longer lasting. I still like the scent but find myself using it a lot more liberally than I do most colognes. By the way, I consider this to be more of an after shave than a cologne. While it's not the most expensive cologne/after shave I've ever used, I think that it's expensive enough that it should be longer lasting or at least a lot stronger. As it is, I think that it's been cut with a lot of alcohol to stretch the more expensive ingredients. To put it bluntly, I find this product overpriced. I'll probably use Bay Rhum again but it will not be Royall.

My husband has used this very expensive product for years. This bottle has almost no scent. It smells like pure alcohol. This has never happened when I ordered this product from a small store. $50 literally down the drain!

I am buying Doulton for my shop ,so find this book so informative, and current,brilliant cant be with out.used all the time.

Great book for getting the current value of Royal Doulton items. Easy to use and very thorough.

A useful catalogue for the collector of Royal Doulton Figurines.

The book is very good and has photos of all but the latest figurines. The prices in the book would have to be considered "full retail". I found many figurines for sale in mint condition for 1/2 the book price or less. It is well organized with easy indexing by name or number.

This volume is enormously helpful in identifying & valuing Royal Doulton Figurines. Sorted by series (e.g. HN or M) & series # (4-digit number following series) it is very easy to use! Also it has cross-references which are very helpful when you have a name/title instead of the series #. This book would have gotten a 5-star rating from me if it did not have missing HN series #'s, most of which correspond to animal figurines. Since I am interested in a FEW animals, it would have been nice to have them all in one volume! (I don't really want to buy ANOTHER reference just for the few animals I'm interested in!) Also, if you are a Bunnykins collector, that info is also missing from this volume. (I'm not, so it wasn't a problem for me.)

Reviews

I am pleased with the product I ordered and received. It's just what I wanted.

This catalogue is indispensable for any collector of Royal Doulton character jugs. It gives you some idea of the value of the jugs for buying or selling in the current market. For the new collector it also gives you the history of the character jugs.

Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide I collect Royal Doulton items and had hoped this book would be up to date, especially on their Bunnykins Series, animals, and figurines. However, most of what I look up isn't in this price guide. It is nicely illustrated. Maybe useful for beginners, but I was looking for a far more detailed price guide.

Good price guide for many (but not all) of Royal Doulton products (tableware not included). An improvement over Charlton in that it provides colour pictures as opposed to Charlton's mostly black/white.Antique Trader Royal Doulton Price Guide

This is a good resource for Royal Doulton items not found in the Charlton Standard Catalogue. The two books together will give you a pretty comprehensive resource for identifying & valuing "most" Royal Doulton pieces. This duplicates a small portion of the info in Charlton Standard, but includes most things missing from it. It is a great resource for animals, Bunnykins, Character Jugs, Flambe, Burslem, Lambert Art wares and more! To any Royal Doulton collectors, I recommend BOTH of these volumes!

We purchased 4 planters as Christmas gifts and they arrived very quickly. The white planter is lightweight plastic and is easily snapped together. Easy to store away in off season. When 2 of them were snapped together we noticed a crack in one. When we tried to contact the seller, they did not respond back to us so we have been unable to resolve the issue. Because we have heard nothing from Fun Shipped Fast we decided to contact our credit card company. We are still waiting to hear from someone...........

I am very satisfied with the purchase of the Chippendale planter. It was a little (not much) of a challenge to assemble but went together very nicely. I bought hanging baskets of New Guinea Impatiens and the 10 inch pot fits into the planter on top of a brick or block of wood. This elevates it to a height that the flowers bloom up and out and against the bright white planter and they are beautiful. I would buy again.

I first saw this video when I was 15. I loved it and later bought it when I got older. My favorite scenes were the motorcycle scene, the beach scene, and the construction worker scene. The guy on the motorcycle really is HOTTTT!!! I love to watch guys strip their clothes off and I think this is one of the best made male stripper movies I have ever seen. I would love to see this on DVD or as a digital download. I was disappointed that none of the other Chippendale videos were as good as this one.

I first saw this video when I was in my early 20's and was so happy to find it on Amazon!! The is a well done video taping of a a girls night out at the Chippendale nightclub hosted by Jordan, the chippendale MC who does a great job entertaining the viewers with his enthusiastic energy! The Chippendale men do 'on-site' and pre-taped 'off site' music videos with choreographed dances done to (surprisingly great!) original music. The featured men are gorgeous and magnetic and show that they obviously LOVE what they are doing. If you see live Chippendale shows nowadays, their enthusiasm ends at "mundane routine" whereas THIS video shows these guys at the height of their popularity and fame and show the ideal Chippendale fantasy!

very fast shipping and no trouble transaction item is better condition then expected. great seller

This movie is a Classic!!! If you are into mullets and cheezy 80's thrusting moves I would suggest you get this. I found it in my mom's closet as a gag gift. My friends and I watched it and immediately loved it. My dad threw it out and I had to get another copy, it is just THAT good!

This video is very hot. I have seen it three times already and going to see it again. If you like hot guys taking their clothes off, you will like this.

I picked this up knowing nothing about Load Records. I had previewed one of the tracks and figured that anything sounding that crazy probably looked pretty crazy too. I was right. The music and the videos on this compilation range from insane to just cracked, anarchistically messy to just lazy, and trippy to more mundanely odd. The quality can be uneven, yeah, but there is more enthusiasm than money in this and that makes it all feel good anyway. There is a good range of styles that will expand what you associate with noise music, from dog-mounted cameras to paranoic synchronized cartoons. The last video is one of the trippiest pieces of op-art I've ever seen. If there is a flaw it is that some videos are better than others, and a bad video will make a song seem less interesting, but the audio cd (with the same tracks) makes up for that. If you were actually looking for this, go for it, you'll find something to enjoy.

Crazy. Featuring the most insane animation you've ever seen with a wonderful soundtrack (that comes with the DVD) of some of the best noise punk from the likes of Lightning Bolt, Wives, and the legendary Pink & Brown. It gets better and better as you go through it (with the exception of one set which wasn't as good as the previous but still damn good) and climaxes with the biggest mind f*** you've never experienced. If you liked the animation of Paper Rad on The Power Of Salad then you need this. So, if you're looking for a good time and don't mind a pounding head ache, buy this now. P.S. For extra painful goodness, watch with the lights off!!

Reviews

it's not as good as being there but tonsofun in its own way. really nice to watch and listen, and it makes you want to visit lubbock texas.

This movie rules! Allright - enough blind enthusiasm, but this movie makes me feel that way. First off, the band, Lightning Bolt, proves everything "the powers that be" say is wrong because they don't have major label aspirations, their equipment is pieced together and repaired themselves, and they live in providence, rhode island, but they rock harder, play faster, and generally move an audience more than any studio produced band of the week any day! And there's only two of them! Now on to the movie - it's totally funny, fast, and captures some moments and feelings i've never felt watching a movie before. The camerawork and editing blew me away, and the sweet moments they captured and integrated with the incredible ROCK blew my mind. My only problem with this movie is that there isn't more! I guess my blind enthusiasm can't be held in... and i don't care!! Share this movie with friends!!

I skipped summer school to watch this movie my friend just got and I will never go to school again! I learned everything I need to know from the Power of Salad. It's crazy - wild shows, rad rad rad music, funny stuff. The whole movie is great - but I LOVED the last 20 minutes of mind melting apocalyptic triumphant ROCK! The editing built to be as wild as the drumming and I couldn't turn away. I saw the band live last summer and they are a total mystery living in providence, ri, and I've never seen them interviewed until now. The filmmakers Glantz and Noe I never heard of before but do an amazing job of giving a feel for the band and the touring life, while maintaining the sweet mystery that makes LB so cool. The drummer may be deaf soon, I heard, so hang onto this awesome DVD!The cartoons are really good too. They are super weird but make me smile so I like 'em!

I'm a big Chippendales fan, and this movie really captures some of the spirit of Chippendales LA in the 80s. The guys are awesome. Fitness model Johnathan Aubrey is spot-on for the lead. JP Pitoc (ironically, the go-go boy from "Trick") is good too. If you know the true story of the Chippendales guys breaking off to form "Adonis", you can follow this movie pretty well (they use the name "Skin Deep" in the movie). A lot of names are changed, but the commentary track is sometimes very detailed, mentioning the names of Chippendales greats like Michael Rapp. I didn't really care for the portrayal of the Colón hit man character. Kind of cheesy, but worth seeing if you're a fan. If you're just looking to see strippers, buy the Chippendales DVD.

The original Chippendale dancers absolutely made history, and Just Can't Get Enough tells us the story in one of the sexiest, more historically factual, and well-made movies about the time. It is so much fun to watch that you will a)wish you were part of the Chippendale team, and b)want to go out and dance. Think Boogie Nights, Saturday Night Fever, and Studio 54, only less Hollywood, more the true story of a particular place, and a particular group of dancers -- one that would most certainly go down in history. Following the original gang that started the club, and the name Chippendale, the movie shows us what happened from the beginning, when nobody knew what they were doing, and everyone just had a dream....a dream to make a lot of money using their bodies. It was really quite simple. We see how this plan affected the dancers' personal lives, how the money, and the fame, started to take over their lives. Next we go through the years when the club was thriving, when the money was rolling in, and the sex and drugs were at everyone's disposal. Then, when gay men wanted to come through the doors to drool over the sexy pecs and big you-know-whats, things started to go down hill. Corruption took over, people ordered other people killed, and eventually, the Chippendales were essentially murdered to the ground. The Chippendale dancers are a part of history -- a part of sex work history, of gay history, of LA history....of history. Just Can't Get Enough does a wonderful job telling their story. The acting is great, the story is historically correct, the message very powerful. Get this movie and learn how, for the Chippendale dancers, they just couldn't get enough. (And it's definitely sexy enough that you won't be able to get enough either!)

For the hot guys only.Sadly the film doesn't stand up to much critical scrutiny. The acting is uneven with some performances being good and others laughable. The script is also uneven, laden with cliches. The costuming and make-up is far worse. I know that this is a period piece set in the early 80's, but the wigs look atrocious -- exactly how they shouldn't -- like wigs!Yeah, the guys are hot enough and there is even some (but not enough) full frontal male nudity, so it might be worth a second look, but overall the production qualities leave much to be desired.

Given the subject matter, you expect this independent film by director/writer David Payne to be full of naked bodies gyrating to the beat of club music--certainly not a serious movie with plenty of bite. But JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH scores in both directions, and in spite of the abundance of skin on display it is the story rather than the bodies that linger in mind after the movie ends.As seen through the eyes of club worker Chad (Johnathan Abue, playing a role loosely based on real-life Dan Peterson), JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH is surprisingly dark and surprisingly factual. Steve Banerjee (Shelley Malil) is just another club owner until he stumbles into the idea of male strippers playing to a women-only audience, and the ringing cash register attracts ambitious and obnoxious choreographer Nick Denoia (Peter Nevargic). Once Denoia gets wise to Banerjee's shady dealings he quickly blackmails the club owner into signing away the touring rights to the show. But when it comes to underhanded manipulations, Banerjee proves Denoia's equal and then some: the sex, drugs, and rock and roll atmosphere of the club quickly gives way to a headlong rush into murder, and the ride is straight down all the way.Payne's script isn't as tight as it might be, and it sometimes goes off on tangents that add little to the overall impact of the film, but the actors are first rate all the way and increasingly convoluted nature of the conspiracies and counter-conspiracies make for a fascinating ride. And to up the ante, Payne endows the entire film with an unexpectedly dark humor and sense of irony that rings true even in the movie's weaker moments.Yes, there are plenty of naked bodies (both male and female) on display, but ultimately JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH is less about sex than it is about an extremely unsavory and seldom acknowledged side of the American dream, a drive for success that flattens every moral obstacle it meets. In one particularly memorable scene, Banerjee snarls that Joe Kennedy built his fortune on illegal bootleg liquor and even sitting President Reagan lied to congress to finance a secret war; bending the law is the American way. But not every one can get away with it--and even for those who do there is a price. In this instance the price ranges from emotional deadness to drug addiction to accidental incest to blood. And every one has to pay.GFT, Amazon Reviewer

There's something charming about this movie. It's scrappy, rough around the edges, and fun. I wasn't sure what to think with the lame o box, but it's full of surprises. For one, the music. Who knew this movie was packed with wall to wall 80s gems like Wall of Vodoo and Flock of Seagulls? And also, the humor. You couldn't tell by the cover, but this is a really funny story, especially if you appreciate odd human behavior. The marketing guys should be slapped silly, because I passed by the movie a dozen times before finally deciding to purchase it, and I'm glad I did.

Reviews

Product arrived with minor scratches and dents due to inadequate packaging. There were also numerous defects in workmanship. I would not purchase this product again.

I bought this product to repair an old rocking chair that had originally had some weird kind of elastic strapping. Traditional webbing was not a good option, but the elasbelt worked perfectly. It was easy and worked like a dream. Buy it!

If you are looking for a replacement for broken cane chair seats, this may work for you as it did for me. I'm not a handyman kind of guy (in fact, I can be dangerous with tools). The fiber seatboards are highly compressed, and embossed (rather nicely actually) which makes them a challenge to cut to fit if needed. Though I did not use one, I'd recommend using a jigsaw rather than just a sharp knife (which I did use). It's tough, but it does work and once secured to the chair seat with nails, (also a challenge to work with oak chairs), they make a handsome alternative to cane. But, because the fiber is stiff, the chairs will now have a hard surface. It's a tradeoff, but a simpler solution than trying to replace cane.

The person I gave this book to loves it and seems to be constantly looking through its pages.

Excellent photograghaphy. Excellent selection of chairs being showcased. If you enjoy furniture as art you will certainly enjoy this book. My personal interest is comfortable chairs with an artistic twist. I'll probably use this book as a jumping off point for chair designs I'll build for different needs. A truly great chair can be a great plane to land. Enjoy.

Tables are my driving force at this time, but, after seeing 500 Tables, I ordered 500 Chairs and I may just have to throw my hat into the ring, as some of the chairs represented are singularly impressive and inspirational.

500 Chairs is remarkable: a beautifully made photographic account of sterling furniture design by leading makers as well as brilliant newcomers. Lark's 500 series consistently outshines all competitors, and this book is no exception: It's superior in range and inspiration to other collections out there. The book was juried by Craig Nutt, and includes pieces by nearly 300 different designers. Just some of the leading ones include John Grew Sheridan, Garry Knox Bennett, Gord Peteran, Curtis Buchanan, Judy Kensley McKie, Paul Freundt, Wendy Maruyama, and Sam Maloof. I'm very pleased to have this book on my shelves, and I strongly recommend also taking a look at 500 Tables: Inspiring Interpretations of Function and Style (500 Series), which is also from Lark Books. After all, chairs and tables go together very nicely!

Simply excellent. Beautifully photographed and laid out, the work in this book is broad ranging, open minded and each one a sincere and intelligent design direction. Powerfully inspirational and helpful if you're needing a nudge to get out of the box with a design!

Reviews

This is pure categorical design porn. Each time I open the book, it blows my mind. Timeless, classic, profound, made from trees -- and that's just the first chair!

Book was a hard cover which was a pleasant surprise and in perfect shape. I paid a dollar or two more than some of the other sellers because of the incredible reviews...well worth it!

Wow! This is book is insanely full of colorful photos and interesting information about each chair. In fact, my boyfriend has his own copy... he loves it that much!

If you just want to see alot of chairs with basic information, this is the way to go. Real pretty.

The order came in quickly, book was in tip-top condition. You can cnsider this a quality book if you like chairs and the history and the evolvement of design in chairs. The pictures are fun to look at and you can marvel at the creativity of the designers.

Lets face it some us are simply in love with furniture and for a great deal of us the true great love is chairs. I also love history and this book gives you both. This book has a permanent home on my living room coffee table and I never tire of looking through it and neither will you.

No one who has seen my home would expect me to have anything to do with a furniture book. But some perceptive friend gave me this book and now I get it! Under Ms. de Dampierre's tutelage, I have grown to understand how pieces of furniture are a reflection of the times in which they were created. This study of chairs is no less fascinating than any great work of art history and the author does an incredible job of detailing changes in social and political currents which impact the design and use of each chair in her exhaustive chronology. As importantly, the pictures are beautiful; the book is worth buying for them alone.

Florence de Dampierre has produced what will certainly be not only the definitive guide to the chair itself but also a witty and learned look at how modes of communication in differing cultures governed the kind of furniture people invented for themselves. The scope of the book is huge, ranging from the cradle of civilization in Mesopotamia and Africa to the chair as modern art. I recommend it highly, both for serious collectors as well as anyone who has ever thought twice about the provenance of the place they've just sat down in. The book is copiously and beautifully illustrated, so it makes a lovely gift.

In this fascinating book, De Dampierre brings a fresh perspective to world history by describing it through one of the most ubiquitous items in our daily lives: chairs. In doing so, she has produced a highly enjoyable read for both the sophisticated antique collector and the general student of history.

A very well written book with lovely and truly beautiful illustrations. Highly recommended!

They fit perfectly with our breakfast bar. They are , however, starting to loosen a little.

Item was a Christmas present. Great price, very good quality. Nice contemporary flair. Stools arrived in perfect condition.

Like the other reviewers I really love these and I like the fact that they're not really "antiqued" per the description. However, I did have some difficulty assembling them. I suggest not tightening the screws entirely until both legs are on the base. I wish I could post a picture of them at my bar! And kudos to Target for 2 day delivery!

I ordered these barstools on a Monday and they arrived by Friday. I am am very pleased with the barstools. They look very expensive and as if they were purchased from an upscale store. The assembly was easy and only took me 20 minutes. The only drawback is that they didn't come very distressed at all, which didn't bother me. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.

I love this table - it's exactly the right size I needed, looks terrific, well-made, etc. Price was right and shipping a breeze. The only disappointment I have had so far is that I've already gotten a couple of scratches on the table top. That may have been because of a friend leaving stuff on the table top - but I would have liked a dining table to be a little more durable than that.

This is a nice table for the money. The wood is very solid. The color is a dark rich stain. Darker than pictured. The drawer is a pretty nice size. I checked a couple other websites that offered the table and Amazon had the lowest price. This table was also very easy to put together.

I ordered this table on 1 Dec and received it today(3 Dec). What a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting a lot since the table was so inexpensive. It looks very nice and did not take long to put it together. The finish is very nice and its the perfect size for my family room.

Beautiful table and fine quality for the price. Only disappointment was there were no attached paper assembly instructions. Fortunately I found it on the internet and was able to print it, but that was an inconvenience.

The finish on this table is very uneven. Although it is inexpensive I did not expect it to appear so cheap.

This is a really nice looking coffee table, especially for the price. Lower quality tables at Target cost more than this. It is durable, and takes all sorts of abuse well. My 3 year old has spilled many glasses of milk and water on this with no staining, colored on it with crayons and markers, and even got nail polish on it. It cleans up nice, and the bottom shelf is great for holding coloring books and extras, and for putting your feet on when you are sitting. The height is perfect, too. It's not too high to put your legs on, and it's not too low to make reaching for your drink uncomfortable. The drawer easily holds 3 or 4 remotes, slides, and closes nice. This table is well made. We've had this for a year, and there is some wear and tear on it, though. It does mark and dent somewhat, but you should expect that with wood. However, considering how much use and abuse this table gets, it is holding up really, really well. It is strong, sturdy, and very easy to set up. It looks twice as expensive as it really is. Excellent product for the money.

This item is a bit smaller, but it does what I wanted it to do.

This is a nice item once you get it together! Should have been easy but it took hours and extra tools because the bolts would not reach were they needed to reach. Poor quality control on the part of the manufacture.

I paid a bit over $100 with shipping, and I find the quality to be really good and sturdy for the price. I didn't have any assembly issues, it took about five minutes to put together. It's perfect for a small space, especially because of the shape, and there were no flaws. And, it's all wood. The only thing I changed was the drawer pull, which needs to be done on most furniture anyway if you're particular about the look.

The package arrived on a rainy day and was placed outside our door with only a plastic bag covering the top of the product. By the time we got home later in the day the bottom of the packaging was soaked; it was ruined so making a return in the original packaging would have been impossible. As with the first table we received and returned the packaging was insufficient to prevent damage; this particular table had apparently been dropped; one corner is slightly damaged. The table itself is full of flaws and doesn't fit together correctly. One leg is slightly tilted. While the table has a nice appearance from a distance once you get close it's easy to see all of the flaws and poor craftmanship. Overall quality: D Packaging materials: F Overall finish: D Overall value: D We've tried twice now and both tables have been very poor; apparently there is very little if any quality control where the tables are manufactured in Thailand. We won't be buying any more furniture through Amazon.

We purchased this table with free shipping from Amazon because we live in Alaska where almost no one will ship or if they do, we have to pay at least double for shipping. This table has a nice dark wood finish and looks great in our entryway. The instructions were not the best, but with a little common sense, were not that necessary. The assembly of the legs to the table top is a little frustrating & tedious because you have to hand tighten the screws with the included hex key and the location of the holes/screws is such that you have to insert and remove the hex key many times. The finished product is nice, though, and I would buy it again!

Since we needed a table for a guest room, we did not want to spend alot of money. We found this table on Amazon for a great price. We were very surprised with the quality - solid wood and very sturdy - and it looks expensive. It was not hard to put together, though you do need two people. A great buy!

I ordered Visiondecor's banker's lamp with an antique base as a gift. I selected their lamp because of the excellent price and product's appearance. Regretfully the recipient did not want the antique brass base, but preferred polished brass. When I told Visiondecor of this problem, they didn't hesitate to give me a full refund, including no shipping charges. I wish I could have kept the lamp for myself. It's very attractive!

This is the one of the worst products I have ever seen, half of the parts are scratched and chipped. The wood looks terrible. Didn't even bother to assemble.

This is the worst product i have purchased for amazon.Directions were vaery unclear,pictures were very hard to decifer.the supplied hardware did not all match-up with the pictures.After two nights of struggle we completed construction.Some panels do not match-up smoothly and took some persuaion to make them fit.I would not recomend thisWinsome Wood TV/Media Stand with 2 Switch-able Drawers, Antique Walnut product at all.

The Shelves do not line up. The wood looks horrible, I would not use this stand in my garage. Worst product I have purchased on Amazon. Do Not buy a Winsome Furniture Product

Takes time and patience to assemble. It arrived well package and I didn't have any broken or lost parts. Its looks great! The perfect stand for the price.

I like it, except there was slight damage in the delivery. I was able to overcome it and still assemble the piece so you cannot see the damage. Also, the door (despite my several attempts to adjust) just doesn't meet up withe cabinet the way I'd like.

this cabinet takes a little while to assemble, but in the end is a very good-looking piece of furniture and is very sturdy. The assembly was a little cumbersome, but everything is very well labeled and all parts necessary are included (except a phillips screwdriver). One of my side trim pieces was broken right out of the box, but after making one call to the Bush customer service center, I was sent a replacement free of charge (arrived two days later). The cabinet is adequately sized, but there are a lot of home theater system receivers and dvd players that might have a tough time fitting in here- check dimensions first. My Denon receiver fits inside, but barely (the master volume knob almost hits the glass. Also, I had to cut a much bigger hole in the back panel to accommodate all my wires, but again, that's only a minor inconvenience. All things considered, a good auido stand for the money.

The product arrived, and took me about an hour to finally assemble. Problems: 1. The stand itself is a bit shaky, and can only take 50lbs of weight per shelf. My Onkyo 805 receiver is 61 lbs.. I placed it on the lowest level, and crossing my finger that it works 2. With the receiver inside, the door won't close.. (problem to many, but not to me because...) 3. The door was completely broken when it arrived. The frame separated from the glass. i had to buy glue and glue the two together myself. After 2 more hours of doing that, and fiddling with it, i gave up and threw the door away. Now i have an open cabinet, with the receiver sticking out. 4. Complicated to assemble. probably the most annoying assembly i've ever done with respect to furniture. Positives: 1. doesn't look too bad. without the door it's still useable. Sorry Bush.. the quality control is not acceptable.
