Hunter 25517 Summer Breeze 52-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with White/Bleached Oak Blades
- Whisper Wind Motor
- AVT Hanging System
- Installer's Choice 3-Position Mounting System
- 5 White/Bleached Oak Reversible Blades
The fan is fantastic--I've had it for about 4 months and it's completely silent, even on the high setting. It has no hint of wobble and mounts relatively close to the ceiling, unlike some other fans that have a bit more of a drop rod.
I bought 5 new ceiling fans this year, so I have something to compare this too and I love this fan, especially for the low price.
Buy Hunter 25517 Summer Breeze 52-Inch 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, White with White/Bleached Oak Blades Now
Very impressed with this fan. Installed yesterday in my bedroom. Some fans hum when powered on. This is quiet. The fan does not wobble on the highest speed. Have a Hampton Bay in a different room. It wobbles and hums.Will only buy Hunter brand ceiling fans in the future.I bought this fan because I already have one of this model and like it.Its simple,trouble free,easy to install and moves air.If thats what you want,not a lot of extras,this is the fan for you.I own several Hunter fans throughout my home, in Florida, where they rarely get turned off. Several of them are 20 yrs. old or more. And they are as quiet as the day they were new. And this one is just the same. Simple installation, quiet running, moves the air, and I am sure, will be as dependable as the rest. The only way this fan could be better is if it had self cleaning blades. You are reading this Hunter, aren't you.I bought this fan to replace a perfectly quiet, perfectly working living room ceiling fan, because I wanted a white fan to go with the white and light decor of my newly purchased condo, and not the brown of the existing fan. I went with the Hunter fan because of its excellent reputation and the amazingly high percentage of five-star reviews for this specific fan. I have ordered a lot recently through Amazon, and in every other case I have used the free super saver shipping. In this case, because I was only going to be at the condo from May 21-24 and this was for me a "last-minute" purchase, made a week before I would be there, I paid extra for the 2-3 business day shipping.
I have two complaints about this fan. The first is that I ordered it with the accompanying downrod, at the same time, and so I expected them to be shipped together. Well, first of all, items I ordered from Amazon a day later with super saver shipping, for which there is a standard 5-8 business day shipping period, not 2-3 days, shipped BEFORE these items did. I have had great experiences with super saver shipping. This was my first use of expedited shipping, and I was disappointed. Second, it had never occurred to me that the downrod might be shipped separately from the fan itself. But that's what happened. I was notified the fan would arrive by May 22 but the downrod only on May 24, the last day I would be at the condo. So I was not happy. As it happened, the downrod arrived on May 23, but it still caused me undue anxiety. And the downrod arrived via USPS, whereas the fan came via UPS. Made no sense to me.
The second complaint is about the fan itself. My electrician installed it late on May 23 and then left. He had just installed 15 Hunter fans somewhere else that day. He praised this fan as excellent and sturdy and easy to install. However, after he left, I turned the fan up to full speed, and lo and behold, it started swaying and knocking. I could only run it at half-speed quietly. My electrician returned the next day. He used all the included light balances, but it still knocked. He finally put what is called a "clothespin" balance on one of the five fan blades. That did the trick, so now the fan runs quietly with very little sway at the highest speed. But my electrician, who has installed many Hunter fans, said this was the worst swaying he had ever seen in a Hunter fan. And I find the "clothespin" mars the clean aesthetics of the blades, even though it solved the problem. Maybe I just got that rare lemon--it happens. But I have a tenant in the condo as of now, so removing and retuning the fan would be a very disruptive experience, for me and the tenant. So I have ended up disappointed that my experience was not like so many other reviewers for this fan.

Milliard Heavy Duty Adjustable Queen/King/California King Metal Deluxe Bed Frame with Center Suppor
Design and quality of materials looks up to par.
Easy to assemble.
It holds up the bed nicely. Not much more to say :)
My only comment would be that it would seem to be a bit short for a King. As it is with my Queen, the end of the bed hangs off the end of the frame about 8" or so. This may be by design to help avoid those pesky toe-stubs in the middle of the night. Does not seem to affect stability.

I hope this helps!Loved this saying. Was very easy to apply, just peel & stick. Took me about 5 min. Works well if you use a coin to run over the letters as you apply it to the wall. Looks really sharp. Very pleased with this purchase.

ORE Furniture International 4-Panel Room Divider
The four panels are connected by lightweight, yet sturdy, screwed hinges that leave ~1-cm spaces between the panels when opened to their widest standing position. It opens as wide as 68 inches across while standing on its own (that's wider than pictured). It can be stored upright in floor space as small as 17x8 inches without having to lean it on anything. At 13 lbs, the screen can be moved and carried with ease.
I doubt it would withstand being banged around too much without getting damaged, but seems solid enough for its intended use. Definitely one of the best buys I made this year.Overall, I like this screen. After searching and searching, the price isn't bad. It was just under $90 with shipping and I didn't want to spend hundreds on a relatively insignificant part of my decor.
QUALITY:
The screen material is definitely synthetic, it's meshy kind of like the backing material you'd use for embroidery. It does feel cheap, but I won't be handling the screen very often, so I don't mind that.
The wood is very evenly stained, but it had a slight woody/stain smell to it that has seemed to dissipate after a few days.
The hinges this is part 1 of why it's only 4 stars instead of 5 the hinges were unevenly screwed in (the screws were poking out at different lengths, not plumb at all. I was able to fix this with Phillips and it seems to help. The other issue with the hinges is that the center panels seem to be not as well aligned with the outer panels and it makes the center pretty wobbly. I could probably unscrew the hinges and reassemble it, but it's not worth the time to do that. It DOES stand on its own plus I was able to brace it against a book case and that's helped, but I wouldn't put it in any high traffic area unless you have some kind of support. The unevenness was especially noticeable because of my hardwood floors.
LOOK:
The cherry is a little brighter red than the photos portray, but it adds a nice warm color to the room of dark browns, reds, oranges and gray-blues.
The screens look great with lighting behind them and the material doesn't look as cheap as it feels.
From even a short distance, it looks great and gives the right amount of partition I needed as well as blocks the wind from the opening door.
My roommate likes it so much that she wants to order a second one for the living room (she's a fashion editor and our apartment is very well decorated).
FUNCTIONALITY:
Like I mentioned, the center panels are a bit wobbly. My other issue is that the gaps between the panels are bigger than I'd like (part 2 of the reason for 4 stars instead of 5), BUT it still lends to enough privacy to change behind it or block the wind from the door opening (again, as long as you have something lending it some structure).
I was trying to decide between this and the 3-panel one and I'm definitely GLAD I went with this one. If there was a 5 panel, it would be even better. The 4-panel won't quite hide an entire Queen Size bed, but it will hide most of it and give you the partition you want.
SHIPPING:
It was here something close to 5 days earlier than it was promised. VERY impressed with that. It had no scratches, the box was very well back and used minimal space. I couldn't be happier. I would prefer it if they offered free shipping (I'd buy 2 or 3 screens instead of just one), but it was manageable.

I bought this cherry room divider about 6 months ago to separate my bedroom from the kitchen. The panel arrived on time without any damage. The cherry wood is beautiful and I have received several compliments from my friends. The panel is sturdy and well-built without being overly heavy. I like the white paper it provides both privacy and let's the light in. My cats have not damaged the paper (which was one of my fears). I would highly recommend this room divider.Read Best Reviews of ORE Furniture International 4-Panel Room Divider Here
I have a very large living room area and I purchassed the room divider to create a space at the back for a sewing area without putting up a permanent wall. The room divider is really beautiful and I get a lot of compliments on it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the panels aren't stable unless you put the divider in a short zigzag. I was expecting a longer divider given it is 4 panels. I have made it work for me and I like the mobility you get with these screens.Want ORE Furniture International 4-Panel Room Divider Discount?
You definitely get your money's worth with this purchase. We use it as a divide between our guest room and the rest of the house and it does the job! The opacity of the screen is enough to provide the needed privacy.Wednesday, December 24, 2014

Very easy to put together, as was the table. everything looks nice and is well made. I only have one issue with this and it seems to be universal to pretapped holes I stripped a couple of them out. Be careful and use locktite. you will be glad you did in the future as this type of construction always seems to loosen screws and strip out the holes.Read Best Reviews of Powell Basil Antique Brown Dining Side Chair with 2-Piece in 1-Carton Here
The chairs are nice quality, heavy, durable, and unique. However, the curved rod that holds the seat to the back leg was not exactly aligned on one side of each chair and the screws that were supplied would not fit. Luckily, my husband purchased two longer screws and he was able to make them fit. Not an easy fix as the screws have to be the right color and the EXACT diameter and length to work.Want Powell Basil Antique Brown Dining Side Chair with 2-Piece in 1-Carton Discount?
This is a great product. I had bought the pedestal years ago and recently placed an order for the 2 chairs in 1 carton as advertised. I received just that 2 chairs in 1 carton and they are beautiful and sturdy. I will be placing another order so I may have 2 more chairs to complete my set.Sunday, December 14, 2014
Coaster Contemporary Futon Sofa Bed with Metal Legs, Black Vinyl
The good: The vinyl holds up really well and looks great.
The bad: The underpart is flimsy and tore off while I was moving it. In a pinch, you could use this for sleeping, but your guests will NOT thank you for it. Also, the legs are very wobbly and came use after moving it.
The ugly: When the futon is up, the ledge that is in the back is also very thin. My teeny tiny cat hopped up on it, fell through, and now there is a hole in the material. Looks bad.
It would be out on the curb already but I can't move it myself. Not happy.I am happy with the product and the quickness of delivery. However, I did not read carefully the shipping policy and was very surprised that freight carrier was contracted to deliver the 6 sofa's curbside.
The web site did clearly say that... "Majority of our Orders are shipped out by Fedex or Dhl and should arrive your door step within 7 business days . We ship Large items by common freight carriers. You will be notified for the date when your order will arrive. Drivers in general are not responsible for delivering your stuff inside. PL. keep help on hand if your have ordered large item for bringing it in."
Obviously I missed this when I ordered.
The seller did promptly contact me to explain this after I left feedback about the experience. I am sharing this so other buyers are aware of the restrictions around delivery so they can have help on hand to take the sofa out of the truck and take it inside where ever it is to be delivered.

The futon looks great. It fits the contempory IKEA theme we have going on in the game room. We bought it primary for the kids to sit on while watching movies. The vinyl is easy to clean which is what we were looking for. It does that job fine. I, however, find it very uncomfortable to sit on...and it groans a little bit under my weight (225 lbs).Read Best Reviews of Coaster Contemporary Futon Sofa Bed with Metal Legs, Black Vinyl Here

I went ahead and took these stickers to my local Hobby Lobby and had them apply them to poster board so I would be able to relocate the art pieces if I wanted too. And I'm very happy with the results! Having them worked at HL cost me an additional 50$, so I'm 70$ into this product and still very pleased with it.As many other reviews say, these pieces are quite small. Not necessarily a bad thing, just know what you're purchasing.
I will upload a picture to the customer pictures area, mine is the one with the dining room table.I have tons of vinyls in my home from a variety of different companies. Although I love the design, it was extremely hard to stick to my wall. I've never had that issue on a clean, smooth, satin painted wall. It simply wasnt sticky enough. I'm afraid it will peel off tomorrow. Too pricey for the quality, unfortunately.

DecoMates Non-Ticking Silent Wall Clock
Pros:
Seems like pretty durable plastic, it *might* survive a drop.
Came with a battery.
Silent, non-ticking, very smooth action on the seconds hand.
The black numbers are easy to see, which was a complaint I saw with similar white numbered non-ticking clocks.
No real cons so far.
But if I have to complain about something... the clock is smaller than I expected. I should have been paying more attention to the advertised size of 8.25 x 8.25 x 1.7 inches which is accurate.
The kiddo likes the color and that it doesn't sound like the "old people" clock we have in the living room.

I bought this clock 5 months ago and I was happy with until now, when form no apparent reason it stopped working. I contacted the seller and explained the situation and asked them to replace the clock once I believe it was defective, the response I got was that they could offer a 15% discount in my next purchase, then I replied saying that no way I would buy another clock taking the risk of the same problem happen again. The clock was nice, but for the price I was expecting more, how a $35 clock should last only 5 months? I possess another clock, same brand, different model, that it still working, so I know the broken one was not affected by any condition in my house as the other one is working perfectly. DIsappointed.Read Best Reviews of DecoMates Non-Ticking Silent Wall Clock Here
I bought two of these clocks and loved them both. It is super silent and very cute on wall too. I have two of them one in blue and one in yellow and complement my room decors. Just like another reviewer, this clock broke (loudly!) after four months. At this time that means half of the reviewers didn't make it a year, so I strongly recommend against buying.Tuesday, November 11, 2014

Fashion Bed Group Newport Headboard
The only negative is that the the legs are too short and when the bed is attached, the headboard is hidden behind the mattress especially because our mattress is a thicker type. We had to attach it to the bed frame very low on the headboard to raise it to the proper height, so that now the legs don't actually touch the floor in order for the headboard to be taller than the mattress. It is OK, but not as sturdy as I would have liked it. I figure it would have added about $5.00 to the price for the manufacturer to extend the legs to be tall enough. As it is, we will have to get some 5" or 6" wood blocks from Home Depot and glue them to the bottom if we want the bed to be solid and stable. We were kind of disappointed about that. However, it is an easy and inexpensive fix, and the finished product does not show the flaw at all.
Otherwise, it is a nice, inexpensive and easy way to spruce up a bare bedroom and make it look finished and furnished.we r very happy with this product, recommend to anyone .. wood looks great ,, easy to put together ,,

The headboard looks good in our house which has mostly country antiques. It was easy to assemble and is the right height at the highest setting. Excellent value and it arrived promptly. The back of the headboard comes with two stickers glued on the finish. I have never had stickers that were so difficult to remove. Even then, there was a residue of glue that did not come off.

Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed (Blue)
Buy Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed (Blue) Now
My 3 year old loves this bed and finally sleeps though the night! However, it uses a standard size twin mattress (38"wide x 75"long which creates a 4-inch gap along one side or 2-inch gap on both sides. My son gets his arms and legs stuck along the sides and if you put it on one side, his whole body would fit through the gap! I am very disappointed that this product does not fit the mattress as stated.Read Best Reviews of Little Tikes Sports Car Twin Bed (Blue) Here
My son just loves this bed. I never had to worry about him falling out of it. It is extremely sturdy and after 5 years is still in mint condition. I would recommend this to anyone with a small child.For the price, I was quite disappointed with the bed we received. The hardware did not properly attach the bed sides to the ends, beasue the bolt holes had been installed incorrectly. The decorative wheels are flimsy, and with a good pull will come off and are not reattachable. The photo gave me the impression that the car would be made from smooth material and resemble a "real" car, but instead it is constructed of the "pebbled" plastic common to most Little Tikes outdoor toys. But my son has seen it, and I am not willing to send it back I've had enough aggravation for one day! But you, dear reader -If you are shopping for a bed for your little boy, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
