Queen Size Platform Bed in Espresso Bycast Leather
It is soft on all edges, with quality craftsmanship. It is a sturdy build. I would recommend two people to assemble to help the dowels meet up at each corner. Another tip do not completely screw in the corner brackets until all pieces are connected it will save you time for adjusting to ensure all angles meet 90 degrees. The bed also comes in several large and heavy boxes, although in very good condition.
The headboard pieces are very sturdy as well, with two heavy metal brackets slotting into the side of the bedframe/mattress. It slots in on any side of the bed, and supports a substantial amount of weight if you're leaning against it to read a book or watch TV.
You can use a box spring in this frame, although, the mattress alone is more attractive.
The color on the pictures looks more like a chocolate brown it's actually really dark espresso as the name suggests.
I'm contemplating purchasing the white version for a guest room. The feet of this bed are well tucked beneath the soft edges, so those of you who are clumsy will LOVE this bed no more sore shins.
Purchasing furniture online without seeing the item has been hit or miss for me, but this is definitely a purchase I am extremely happy with.

Baker Rack with Slate Inlaid in Dark Bronze Finish
Though it goes together well and I had few issues doing it myself, the instructions are laughable. They consist, in their entirety of one page with four pictures in various stages of assembly. There are no written instructions whatsoever. If these guys made a guide to learning to play the flute it would say, "Blow in one end and move your fingers up and down the holes. There! You're playing the flute!"
Just remember this to save some time and headaches. Put it all together but don't tighten it all up until you're finished or you'll have to loosen bolts for it to fit together.
Now for the measurements! Is there anything more annoying than the vague measurements they provide? I wanted to know what would fit in each shelf. So here are the assembled measurements. I rounded down to the next 1/4" so if it read 16 3/8", I'll give it as 16 1/4".
Starting from the floor to the bottom shelf/rack to the bottom of wine rack, then from the top of the wine rack shelf to the bottom of the 'middle' shelf, then from the top of the 'middle' shelf to the bottom of the top shelf;
From ground to bottom of (lowest) bottom shelf/rack 7"
(Top of) Lowest shelf/rack to bottom of wine rack 19 1/4"
(Top of) Wine rack shelf to bottom of next 'middle' shelf 15 1/2"
(Top of) Middle shelf to bottom of top shelf 14"
DEPTH of shelves, from the front of the back poles to the front of the shelf;
Bottom, lowest rack 16" (Measurement between the front and back poles on the sides.)
Wine rack shelf 17" (I have a very deep microwave on mine. I chose this rack because of the depth. It just barely fits, but it fits.)
Middle shelf 10 3/4"
Top shelf 9 1/4"
I hope this helps. It's pretty sturdy once together.
Choose your vendor wisely. I was ready to buy and one vendor who provided free shipping was out of stock. I went with the next vendor and paid about $35 more. The next day the cheaper vendor had stock again. Shipping took a while but it arrived unscathed. Still pleased with purchase.

Although it's listed as a brown finish, it's so close to black as to be negligible. I actually love this rack, I'm just annoyed that the finish is SO cheap, it scuffs off if you sneeze at it. It came damaged on the top, looks like it got banged pretty hard in shipping, and it took off a chunck of the top post but I just took a little spray paint to it and you can't even tell now. It looks like it would be one of those flimsy metal racks that wobbles constantly, but it's not at allit sits very still and it's got a lot of space. THe wine rack only holds the narrowest of wine bottles, so don't count on it holding all "regular" sized wine bottles...Mirrasou fits, but Jargon doesn't, and to my eye they're the same size. Odd. But it'll hold 15 wine glasses (!) and the slate is gorgeous. I would buy it again.Read Best Reviews of Baker Rack with Slate Inlaid in Dark Bronze Finish Here
Great piece for the price, I had bought the table first, and stumbled on the bakers rack to match. Looks great together, great to fill a corner space, love it1Want Baker Rack with Slate Inlaid in Dark Bronze Finish Discount?
Decent storage, but the wine glass holders need to be a inch more in depth, and the wine rack should hold both the small wine bottles and the larger ones. Fairly easy to put together.SEI Cartwright Convertible Electric Fireplace

Totally worth the money! It is a quality piece. I was able to assemble it myself (it was that easy) You only need a screwdriver and it was a good thing since thats all I've got :) It locks together securely and know that no matter how many times I move, it can take it! Wasn't quite sure by the description of all that it was capable of, so I'll let you know. You can manually adjust or use the remote to turn it on/off (both just the fire effects and/or the heater), adjust the brightness of the logs from off to super bright, adjust the flaming effect from off to high effects (which is a little added niceness that I didn't know I was getting). And the switches and dials are hard to get to (I had to use a pencil to switch it on) which is nice because I'm not worried about my small children being able to play with them. I have nice new things but this is definitely the nicest thing in the room :)Read Best Reviews of SEI Cartwright Convertible Electric Fireplace Here
We purchased this electric fireplace to sit in the corner of our living room. It has an attractive physical presence and looks nice in its location. It is substantial and well built. The ability to turn on the "flame" without the heat is a nice touch.It is shipped in two packages one includes the cabinet and the other includes the heating unit. The cabinet is extremely well packaged and one would be unlikely to obtain it in a damaged condition. I was impressed with how well they packaged it.
But we were a bit disappointed in the "oak finish". It does not match the rest of our oak furniture as it has a darker finish (darker than the pictures show it to be). Still, it is quite attractive and "COZY IN KENTUCKY", who stated below that it looks better than the pictures, is correct.
Assembly is easy, but will take some time. Set aside an hour or two and use wood glue on the wooden dowels as others have suggested. While it is much easier to assemble with two people, one person can handle the task although it could be awkward to do so. An electric screwdriver is a great help. Instructions were supposed to be included, but were not included in my packaging. All else was as it should be. The instructions are easy to obtain and seem to be commonly left out of the package as SEI has spelled out how to obtain them in their FAQ. A simple call, or email, will result in the instructions being faxed or emailed directly to you. Unfortunately, SEI is not open past 5PM CST on Friday. If you have plans to assemble the unit over the weekend, and your instructions were not included, you will be out of luck until Monday. I found several people across the internet trying to locate the instructions and in the same fix as myself.
Overall, this is a nice unit, easy to assemble, works as it should, and is quite attractive. If you are looking for a reasonably cheap and good looking electric fireplace, you should consider this one.

Fast delivery, exactly as described. Very easy and straight forward assembly, very beautiful once put together. Flames could be a bit more realistic for my taste, but still very nice.Outer Space Astronaut Planet Wall Appliques Wallpaper Stickers

I am very happy with this product, I am glad I purchased it. It was easy to apply, and they look great on the wall. However, there are two things that I think you should know before you purchase this item.1) The stars barely glow, the light emitted by these "glow-in-the-dark" stars is the barest amount possible. I would go as far as to say that they don't actually glow in the dark at all.
2) The planets you receive are incomplete. You get 2 jumbo sized planets, 1 jumbo sized moon, and 6 planets whose size are complimentary to each other. They double up on some planets, and don't give you others.
