South Shore Twin 39-Inch Headboard, Pure Black
South Shore Furniture, Sand Castle Collection, Double Dresser
It shipped very fast. Once assembled, we noticed a scratch on the top piece of the dresser, but customer service took care of it no problem and shipped us a replacement piece immediately.When we got rid of my daughter's bunk beds, we had to get a new dresser for her since her drawers were in the bed. We looked around and my father in law looked around and we finally found this dresser. It looked nice online and the price was right, so we decided to give it a try. My husband got the dresser put together pretty quickly and it turned out great! The drawers glide easily and we had no problems with it. The materials used are good quality, we are really happy with our purchase!

After a few months the drawers came off the rails. Drawers keep falling off and wont stay on the track and can be pulled right out by a small child. I would not recommend this.Want South Shore Furniture, Sand Castle Collection, Double Dresser Discount?
This is a very nice dresser that will compliment most other bedroom furniture. It is plain, but that is the beauty of it. It was relatively easy to assemble, but the instructions were sometimes not quite complete. It was packed very secure and arrived prior to the expected delivery date. I would purchase again from this company.Achim Home Furnishings Capri 3-Piece Rug Set, Floral Whisper

The frame didn't have the grey as pictured in the photo. It kind of does if light hits it a certain way but definitely not to the degree in the picture. We ended up being ok with it. Expect the bed to be all black. There were a few nicks in the frame, but nothing too horrible considering the price we paid. The wood in some of the supplying legs was split. Be aware the it is not real wood, it's that compressed wood. So far it's holding together and is sturdy. Bed came a little later than the expected delivery date and came in 2 separate packages on different days.is look prety nice and was one of best frame i ever buy i realy recomen this product to everyoneI love my new bed. It came really fast. And it was easy to assemble. I highly recommended their products to everyone looking to purchase a bed frame.Pinecone Pine Lodge Wall Hook

I bought these for my mom and she loved the idea of them. However she had a hard time actually using them as described. She said that the birds kept flippiing over and didn't want to stay in the "wire". I am not sure if this is because she wasn't doing it right or a problem with the product itself. But since she has a bird (crow) fettish I thought this was still a pretty cool gift.Read Best Reviews of Birds On A Wire Picture Hanger Here
Originally I reviewed this as excellent and that was based on the quick delivery and price compared to what it's sold for at other shops etc.I till think it would be cute for some people, especially college students for a dorm etc. however, after opening it, it's not exactly what I thought.
I didn't read what materials it was made out of so this isn't really a product flaw, it's just different than what I had expected.
I thought the little paper clips and birds would be a thin painted metal, they are actually a rubbery black silicone type material. The cord which I thought would be real black wire, was a cheaply black string. For me these mediums don't go with my home so I am going to return it but it is still a cute gift for kids room (kids old enough that choking isn't a hazard) or dorm room etc.This was a big disappointment. I bought it as a gift and it was too cheap looking to give to someone. It's 8 paper clips and a bit of black string no way to attach string to the wall, all in a cheesy container. Even if it included a couple of thumb tacks it might seem nicer.

So I give these chairs 4 stars instead of 5 due to the miss-drilled hole (it was only on one chair) but I feel this flaw should never have made it passed their Quality Inspection and passed on to the customer.

Color was as described and matched separate order of side chairs well. Husband didn't like how screws underneath on decorative sides lined up and bought some different ones from hardware store. To assemble right and use glue (we used our own wood glue and not one provided) it does take a good 30 45 min per chair. Hoping they hold up as well as they look/seem. Also color of cushion seems to be holding up after a coat of scotch guard and my 3 1/2 yr old son eating on them.Read Best Reviews of Set of 2 Dining Arm Chairs Mission Style Warm Medium Oak Finish Here

This candle was given to me as a gift. I usually am not into strong scents, but this smells really good. It adds a nice scent to the area and does it pretty quickly. I am buying for others as a gift now, just to have handy. I can't speak on the length of time for the candle to be usable, since I am just now starting to use it. I am a fan of candles that last a long time, and have some faves in that category. Let's see if this scores in that area too...Native American Indian Spirit Of Strength Wall Picture Framed Art Print

I purchased the ledge to put above the tub in my master bathroom to add a little decor to the plain walls. Installation was very easy as the directions were very clear and upfront. I had never installed a floating shelf/ledge before, but this went up easily and without and issues. I think it looks great and would definitely recommend it.

SilverRest Sleep Shop Luxury Grand 14-Inch Memory Foam Mattress
In short, I decided to purchase this mattress on the strength of its density rating, and the reviews here on Amazon. Needless to say, when the mattress arrived, we discovered that it was a thick, quality looking and feeling product (not to mention a heavy one). It feels to me to be similar in firmness to Tempurpedic's "Original Bed." When you first lay on it, it may seem as though nothing special happens, but you'll soon find that the memory foam begins to do its job as you feel yourself enveloped by the quilted material. True to the advertisements, the memory foam molds to your body and cradles you in a state of suspended animation.
In the end, I have slept like never before on this mattress. I have woken up at 5am each morning feeling rested and pain-free. As hyped as this testimonial may sound, it does not even begin to chronicle the benefits I have derived from this mattress in the short time I have owned it. The moral here is: this bed is well worth the price tag.
A few other small notes for the conscientious shopper:
-I received a shipping notification email from SleepShop a day after I'd placed my order on Amazon.
-The mattress arrived by FedEx (who dutifully brought it up the stairs and laid it on the bedroom floor for me) 2 business days after I had made the purchase.
-The content of the warranty information is indeed puny and the company seems averse to putting their contact information in the public view, but one hopes that neither will ever be needed.
-And finally, yes, there is a "plastic" smell that emanates from the product and lingers in the air for about a week or so. I can imagine that those with particularly sensitive noses might find this off-putting, but don't let that discourage you from purchasing this mattress. Even if this bed smelled like sauerkraut for a year, I would still happily traipse off to bed for night after night of comatose-like bliss with fairies and sugarplums dancing in my head--only with a nose plug firmly in place. ;)
Enjoy your purchase. Well, my three-year old was a bit disappointed when she discovered that you couldn't bounce on our new mattress, but my wife and I have loved it. My wife, who is pregnant, has loved it since the first night, and no longer has any pain in her sciatic nerve like she did on our previous mattress.
It's very comfortable. I was worried it might be too hard or too soft or not supportive enough, but it really does just feel great. I don't know if the 12" is truly any better than the 10", but we certainly don't regret getting the extra 2 inches of depth.
Negatives:
My wife has mentioned that it has an odor of plastic or something, but I haven't noticed it. She still wouldn't trade it for anything, though. It's only been one week though, and even that may dissipate with a little more time.
And the warranty is actually pretty limited. Nevertheless, if we have to pay to replace it even 5 years from now, it will have been worth it.
Here's the actual warranty received with the mattress; see paragraph 4 for the length of the coverage, and paragraph 3 for the disappointing clause "not responsible for... faulty workmanship" -YIKES!:
----------------------------------------
100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee
Covered Products:
Mattresses manufactured by Sleep Shop will be covered by the terms and conditions of this warranty. The Sleep Shop will approve all designs that are 100% Sleep Shop foam and do not contain foam from other manufacturers.
Claim Limitations:
Warranty is limited to Sleep Shop products only. Any and all subsequent materials, labor, and/or freight and/or delivery charges are not covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage is limited to original purchaser.
Exclusions:
The Sleep Shop is not responsible for any subsequent damage resulting from product failure due to faulty workmanship by manufacturer and/or if finished product is abused or misused in any way or exposed to any liquids or chemical products. The Sleep Shop reserves the right to inspect all mattresess involved in warranty claims. All inspections will take place at the designated customer's manufacturing facility.
Coverage Period:
Sleep Shop Memory Foam is guaranteed to retain at least 90% of its original loft for a period of up to 10 years, covering the average life of a mattress.
----------------------------------------
Then, as a footnote at the bottom:
"Additional 10 year warranty applies to mattress only and not pads."
So I guess it really is a 20 year warranty, though it reads like you're only covered for 10 years.

This bed is simply fantastic. I have a lot of back problems that prevented me from sleeping through the night. Since we got this bed about 1 month ago, I haven't been up with back pain once and don't constantly toss and turn all through the night to get comfortable. The quality of my sleep had improved beyond belief. My husband says he is sleeping better too.We had slept on a Tempur-Pedic while on vacation and liked it. Since that vacation we had been discussing buying one but I really didn't like the price that went with the Tempur-Pedic brand. When I found this bed on Amazon I had a hard time convincing my husband to try it. He was hesitant because he thought it was so much cheaper than the equivalent Tempur-Pedic (or any decent traditional mattress for that matter) it couldn't possible be any good. Fortunately I was persistent enough to wear him down.
We are both extremely happy with the bed. He says he notices a slight difference between this bed and the name brand one but I don't. (I don't think it could get any better than this bed.) I've become a walking advertisement to all our friends and family. It has been great for us.
I have noticed that the price on this bed has changed quite a bit. When I first looked at the bed it was $150 cheaper than it was the day I wrote this review. I'm not sure if it jumps around or if it has been steadly been going up. The bed would still be well worth the price at $150 more.
Shipping was no problem; the bed arrived a little over a week after we ordered it. I did e-mail the Sleep Shop a couple of times about shipping and deliver and got very good customer service. The bed did have an odor when you first open it but that dissipates within a couple of weeks. I did not receive a copy of a warranty with the bed and have to contact the Sleep Shop about getting one but as another reviewer said even if you have to replace it every 5-10 years it would be worth it.

My original review is below. It's now 6 months later and I can't even explain how awful this thing has become. It is sooooooo soft now it bends you while you sleep. My wife and I have never been in so much pain in our lives. Time to swallow our $800 mistake and start the mattress search again!First I just want to say that I was VERY nervous about buying this bed online and having it shipped via Fedex to me. I can say now that if you are reading this review thinking the same thing, it is packaged very well. It came in a box and was double wrapped (with one layer being the thickest plastic I've ever felt) and banded. It came in perfect shape.
I work in a store that sells mattresses, and if you are shopping for one you should know that the markup is 4-5 times the cost. Knowing that, I never thought that the quality of the bed would be poor. It is very easy to produce a high quality mattress and sell it for $799 shipped while taking home a profit. I like this mattress. It is on the firm side for memory foam, and if you go lay on a Tempurpedic bed, you will find they are very often more plush than this bed. Yes, it does have the typical new memory foam smell, and for the first day it will be pretty strong. After that, throw a mattress cover and a sheet on it and you will be fine.
As far as longevity, I don't expect to get more than 5-6 years out of a mattress and 10 out of a foundation. I don't care what the warranty is, good luck getting anything replaced if the bed doesn't have a visible sag. Most product these days will rebound back to its original shape but will lose it's supportive qualities long before it is visibly sagging. Hopefully I get that out of this and it doesn't fail to perform after only 3 years.
Go to a store and ask to try out a memory foam bed and tell them you prefer a firm mattress. That should give you a decent idea of what this bed will sleep like. If you like that then give this a try. Just realize that if you don't like it, there's pretty much no way you are going to be able to package this up and ship it back.

Having slept on this bed for over a month now, here are my thoughts:1. For a few months I started having back problems (I am 34 and an athlete), decided to switch the mattress to help it, and this one has done just that. I really like the mattress. It is comfortable yet still somewhat firm very supportive of the lower back (i.e. cannot feel any separation between back and mattress when I put my hand back there)
2. Mattress is heavy. Took a huge effort to get this mattress in place. Definitely useful to have a second person.
3. I did not have much a problem with the smell. I opened the mattress and let it sit in the living room for 4 days before switching it out and the smell is gone.
4. One problem to note, and I am not sure if this is the same with Tempurpedic, you have to sleep/lie at least a foot from the edge (maybe not if you are smaller. I am 6'2" 205lbs) else the edge of the bed ends up collapsing too much to support you. This is the case with a spring mattress, but not usually this far from the edge. Needless to say it does turn the queen bed into something somewhat smaller than before.
5. Customer support is awesome, particularly Tony. When I received the mattress I washed the cover (gentle cycle) to help get rid of the smell. Unfortunately, the memory foam in the cover tore off in some places. Turns out that with this cover it needs to be handwashed. The tag was not clear on this, and is now being fixed. Without a single argument, Tony had a new cover shipped out to me at no charge. It arrived 5 days later. Buying from an internet company is always iffy, but this one was great.

Umbra Wallflower Wall Décor, Set of 25
So easy to use! My suggestion is to put in a thumbtack as a starting point, put a flower on it and then hold another flower up to see where you want it and then place the thumbtack, etc. Don't place all the thumbtacks first or they might not all fit next to each other.
Have fun, these are great!I love these they come with 5 per size, which is great if you want to mix it up a little. I am using them in place of numbers on a large wall clock that I made, and it's cute! The pins are relatively small, so the holes they leave behind are not an eyesore. I did not have as much trouble getting them attached to the pin as other reviewers seemed to have had a few seconds of pressure and wiggling and it was on. They are also light, so if something bumps them and they fall, they won't break anything placed below them. All in all, a great purchase!

Three years ago, I bought the Umbra Wall Flowers and ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM. I used them in my bathroom (cathedral ceiling) and decided I wanted to do a two color combination on the wall along my staircase. However, when I purchased this set, I discovered the flowers were no longer magnetic like the first set I purchased. I really loved the magnetic flowers because they were easy to move especially when I was trying to decide the layout of the different sizes. Also, when I spring clean I am able to remove the flowers, toss them in the sink, rinse them off, and put them back up after they have dried off.On the other hand, the new version of the Umbra Wall Flowers have adhesive stickers that after only a couple of hours, flowers were popping off of the wall. That's when I realized maybe I bought the wrong kind, but unfortunately there are no magnetic ones anymore. However, I saw several websites mention a magnetic coversion kit was available. Well, let's just say that only one place sold these kits and at first I thought the price was great. It was around $4.00 for a set of 25 magnets that will pop into the new flowers so they are like the old ones. However, the shipping and handling charge for this company was $35.00 if you did not allow them to send you emails. If I let them send me emails, they reduced the shipping and handling charge to around $17.00.
So, my advice is if you are going to purchase this version of the Wall Flowers be sure to get the magnetic conversion kits.
