Boraam Magellan Swivel Stool

Boraam 43029 Magellan Swivel Stool, 29-Inch, BrandyThey look really nice assembled in our kitchen. They seem very sturdy (time will tell) and all legs are level with the floor, i.e., no rocking. One complaint is that the precision of the manufacturing is not as good as it could be. some of the parts had to be slightly forced to fit. But, in the end they did. The instructions are also very minimal. More assembly pictures would have been nice. One suggestion when assembling is to NOT tighten any of the leg screws (there are 16) until all of the screws are in and the chair is loosely assembled.

Overall, for the price, these are great counter height stools.

I wanted to try these counter-height bar stools but was really nervous due to the negative reviews. I ordered only one at first in case they were indeed crap. Today I am ordering the 2nd one I need. They are fine! No problems so far.. assembled easily, comfortable, sturdy, look great. If I have any problems with it after they are used for a while, I will amend my review, but for now..very satisfied. Satisfied enough to order more.

Each bar stool took about 45 minutes to assemble. They are comfortable and sturdy. We had guests over the holidays who mentioned how much they liked the stools. We put felt pads on the bottom of the legs since they will primarily be on wood floors, and these worked great.

4D Concepts Ora Oval Ottoman/Bench

4D Concepts Ora Oval Ottoman/BenchThe online photos do depict the colors quite accurately (brownish olive background, with a very, very deep, almost brown burgundy print). Unfortunately, this is NOT the case on the size and shape. The photos give the impression that this ottoman is wider across the center...more almond shape at each end than completely rounded oval from sides down to each end. Yes, I did review the dimensions online. I knew it was not a large piece, but it is not just the photos. The ottoman I received today IS actually smaller by a couple of inches. Also, the stitching on the top of this ottoman is NOT good quality. Although I was not expecting a "fine" piece of furniture for this price, I was expecting better than I received. Needless to say, I am disappointed.

looks better in person. The bench is sturdy and roomy enough for blankets and stuff. love the oval shape. would recommend.

This is a beautiful piece of furniture as well as a plentiful storage unit. I have 7 throws in mine at the foot of my bed and there is still room for more. The colors go well with many decors as I recently had it in my living room before I put up my tree. When I first got it my husband put small wheels in place of the legs so it is easily moved from place to place. I love sitting on it to put on my shoes, it is extremely sturdy even with the addition of wheels. Love it, love, love it.

Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede

Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede, Black OnyxFirst off, I should mention that I am rather bummed that Amazon has had so many price fluctuations with this product. When I purchased it, the cost was 129 and literally a day latter it dropped to 99.... however, that is not a factor in my review, just something I thought was worth mentioning to those who are considering a purchase.

As for the chair itself: The chair arrived in a box that was literally bursting at the seams. I examined around the box for instructions but nothing was included....after all, it's just a chair. When pulling the chair out, it resembled a giant cube and had a very distinct smell. As you will see in other Comfort Research reviews, these chairs definitely take some airing out before they will smell normal. It's not a revolting smell but it is certainly noticeable. As aforementioned, the chair arrived in a cube shape and I decided it would be best to open it up and break up the foam. This was not an easy task as the foam inside was very stuck together and pulling it apart resulted in a huge mess on my floor, even while being careful. It may have better to just let the chair sit there for a few days and expand on it's own but I'm not sure if the foam would have ever naturally broken apart.

Once the chair was all fluffed up, I quickly realized just how big and heavy this thing really is. The picture shows the back of the chair as being quite defined but it is tough to achieve that same look without some extra foam pushing. It was finally time to sit in it and all I have to say is wow! This thing is quite comfortable. It has quickly become my go to chair when watching movies or playing games.

The only downside to the chair now that it has been here for a few weeks is that I find myself having to fluff it up after each use to retain it's shape and comfort. Not a big deal, but the thing is heavy and it takes a small bit of grunt work to do.

I highly recommend this thing but be sure to give it a week before you form a real opinion on it!

Honestly, I really like this chair. I went off some other reviews and gave it some time to let the chair expand before forming my opinion. Actually a paper that came with the chair said 7-10 days before it is fully expanded. The first couple days it was not very comfortable. It was just ok. After about the 4th day I thought it was way more comfortable. Now after a week I think its great. It's not a bean bag chair and it's not a 400 dollar Fuf chair. As long as your expectations aren't through the roof you will be happy. I got mine on an Amazon Warehouse Deal and I am very happy with the purchase. Also, just to mention the size of it. It's a big chair. I am 6' 2" 230 and the chair is plenty big for me.

Buy Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede Now

If you read other reviews of similar chairs from the same manufacturer, you will find that they are really misleading in the pix. To follow up on the previous review, they were kind.. Not only can you not get quite the same defined look as in the pix, but it really is impossible to sit on it like that. There is no real back and the foam (easy for me to break up without opening the chair, hence no mess) spreads out.. The pix also implies that there is a lot more foam in the chair than a normal bean bag type chair, but, well, not the case.. Just like the first review mentioned, you really need to regularly (i.e. EVERY time), fluff it up.. That said, although I was a tad disappointed (and if I could buy a chair that was more like a chair and not a huge bag of foam, I would have instead), the chair is very well made and the kids just LOVE LOVE LOVE it.. Probably not going to be much use for myself (i'm the Dad), but I am not unhappy with the purchase. Just like Mike Brady told Greg.. Caveat Emptor. Just know what you are getting. The price is the best i've seen online for this type of chair.. Enjoy!

Read Best Reviews of Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede Here

The chair looks really nice and maintains its shape well. The fabric isn't really a microsuede like I thought it would be, it's more of a velvet like fabric. There is no liner, so you can only spot clean the fabric if it gets dirty. My chair also had plastic material inside and some hard bits of foam (from the top part of the foam where it is baked, it wasn't trimmed off). Overall, the chair is comfortable and looks nice, but would be a lot nicer with a liner and softer foam.

Want Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede Discount?

The chair was stuff into a box that was way too small. The chair was a cube. The chair is so flat now. Even with some fluffing, the chair not stuff as much as the chair in the picture. Completely misleading picture and description. Wish I could return the chair but I had to cut the box off the chair because it was packed so darn tight. Not worth the price. I will have to buy some stuffing to make this chair usable.

6/12 Update: Still not in love with this chair. It does fluff up thankfully. however, it releases some kind of "off-gas" smell. The room it's in smells like something is burning or like a hot pan with nothing in it. We realized the smell comes from the chair. We keep our two year old away from this room. I still feel the description is misleading. The chair offers so back support. The girl in the picture looks like she's sitting upright which near impossible. Still feel this is a bad purchase. Not enough support for adults and too dangerous of smells to risk allowing your kid to sit in it.

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU SEEM, BRAVER THAN YOU BELIEVE, AND SMARTER THAN YOU THINK

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU SEEM, BRAVER THAN YOU BELIEVE, AND SMARTER THAN YOU THINKI read the harsh reviews before buying, but loved the saying, so bought it anyway. I am not disappointed. I have purchased vinyl letters from Uppercase living in the past, which are much more expensive, but this product is just as nice and as easy to use. I did not have any trouble with application or with the letters ripping. Went up very easily. You do not have to cut the letters apart. They are perfectly level and spaced on one big sheet, sandwiched between two layers of backing paper. Just position the whole sheet as it come to you on the wall with tape first. Draw around the edges of the backing paper with a pencil to mark your placement. Lay the whole sheet on your table and rub over both sides of it with a credit card or even a pampered chef stone scraping tool. Then carefully peel off the backing. If a letter sticks, just put it back together and rub over it again & repeat. With the backing off, carefully stick the whole sheet to the wall lining up the edges with your pencil mark. Now rub firmly over all the letters and begin to peel away the front paper, starting at the top & working down. Again, if a letter sticks, you just need to rub over it more until it sticks to the wall. This is a very nice product & I am very pleased!

I love the way this looks now but it could have easily gone the wrong way. I wish I would have known that not only is the decal not one piece but the words are not even on piece. Yes what I am saying is that every letter on this is individual and it was rather difficult to get off of the sheet and on to the wall. It took me much longer that anticipated but the finished product did turn out nice. My issue is that if just one of the letters would have ripped which I thought was going to happen then the whole thing would have been ruined.

Buy YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU SEEM, BRAVER THAN YOU BELIEVE, AND SMARTER THAN YOU THINK Now

Looks awesome on the wall in the kid's playroom. I like the message that they receive every day. It was a bit hard to get the decal to release off of the paper, and it takes longer to put up than you think, but it looks classy on the wall.

My money was not well spent on this product. I was excited to see it on my wall but the adhesive stickers would not stick to the wall and it was extremely irritating and difficult to peel them off. The letters ripped and i had to throw it away. Complete waste of $.

Flamenco Dancer - 12"H x 12"W - Peel and Stick Wall Decal by Wallmonkeys

Flamenco Dancer - 12'H x 12'W - Peel and Stick Wall Decal by WallmonkeysThe design and colors are really beautiful, like on the picture. What I was positive surprised of is the texture of the decal. It's like canvas or something similar. That makes it very nice.

I decided to just put it on the wall with some poster strips which looks great. So I didn't actually peel it off.

Great quality and design. No complaints, would buy it again.

Fashion Bed Group Newport Headboard

Fashion Bed Group Newport Full/Queen Size Headboard in Mahogany FinishThis headboard is decent quality, very pretty, and inexpensive. It was relatively simple to assemble and makes the bedroom more attractive than just a bare bed. It it is worth the price.

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 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. Since this type of sticker is completely unnecessary, I would not only not recommend this item, I would be reluctant to buy anything from the company

Elmwood Longevity Motif Chest of Drawers - Black

Elmwood Longevity Motif Chest of Drawers - BlackI was delighted with the customer service I received from this Seller. A few weeks ago, I purchased a Longevity sideboard directly from this seller (i.e., not thru Amazon) they responded to all my email inquiries very promptly and courteously. When the sideboard arrived, I accepted shipment and the delivery men left I then discovered minor damage to a corner of the furniture (which we missed during inspection). I emailed them a photo of the damage and asked for advise. They were obviously monitoring their emails, because they contacted the delivery men and sent them back to me so they could repair the damage! The Rosewood Longevity Sideboard was even more beautiful 'in person' than the photo on their site. The quality of the item, and the superior customer service I experienced, made it a no brainer to purchase from them again. I recommend this seller Very Highly.

Queen 8" Memory Foam Mattress + Bed Frame set - Queen - No box spring needed

Queen 8' Memory Foam Mattress + Bed Frame set - Queen - No box spring neededThe mattress arrived on time in a very tidy box, so it was easy to move from the door into the bedroom. It was easy to unroll and put on the bed support system. The mattress did have a funky smell for a day or so, but opening the windows helped, and after a day no more smell. The bed also took about a day to "breathe". It was a bit firm when it first arrived, but now acts like a memory foam mattress should. For the price, this bed is excellent.

I was a bit unsure about buying a memory foam mattress; however, this bed is one of the most comfortable beds that I have ever slept on! I will never go back to a spring mattress.

I was unsure of this purchase, but extremely excited once it arrived! Getting past the funky warehouse smell, the bed is extremely firm, very supportive! For the first time in 7 years, my husband didn't wake me up with his snoring! Either I slept soo well I didn't hear him, or he slept so well he didn't snore at all!! It's an amazing feeling to feel rested! My only concerns are, I am used to the top of the mattress hitting me just below the waste & this bed is hitting around the knee cap, this will take some getting used to, and I don't know how I'm going to attach it to a headboard?

Read Best Reviews of Queen 8" Memory Foam Mattress + Bed Frame set - Queen - No box spring needed Here

this is a *fantastic* deal. you would pay $4000 for a bed of this quality if you bought it from a us mattress vendor. contrary to another reviewer's claim to the contrary, the frame supplied with this bed is of the highest quality and the easiest to assemble frame i have ever seen, period. unfold 6 times, tighten 10 wingnuts, and you're done. rock solid thick steel elevated frame, no tools required. mattress is shipped compressed but is fairly easily unpacked (contrary to supplied instructions, do not use scissors and just open the "duffel" outer bag and shake the mattress and inner shrink wrap out, then unfold onto bed frame and use the scissors to cut the shrink wrap) and will then expand (thicken) for 48 hours after shrink wrap is removed. this size (queen) has few reviews. if you wish to verify my review as to the quality of this bed, refer to the full size version which has many more accurate reviews. to specifically address two of the negative reviews this size has received: it tells you in the description there is no box spring and that you do not need one and this is correct. the frame is elevated, negating the need for one. it also tells you it does not provide a headboard but provides brackets for attaching one. this is also true. the brackets are in the same small box the sham (cloth to cover the frame sides) comes in. lastly, blaming the vendor because you were not properly prepared to wait the usual number of days for something that weighs 70 pounds to be shipped across the country is hardly the vendor's fault.

Prepac Fremont Espresso 6 Drawer Dresser

Prepac Fremont Espresso 6 Drawer DresserThe color is true to picture. However, the company sent me the wrong knobs, not metal but wood. Also, not all of the hardware was the right size for the drawers(they were too big, we had to make new/bigger holes). There was some damage and lots of chipped places, however, the company did send a marker to cover up those places on the product. It did take a while to put together 2+hours, but we did have to make new holes, so that did take lots of time. I will call the company to complain about the product and receive the correct knobs. The dresser does match my other espresso furniture (rocker/glider, dresser and changing table).

Canwood Alpine II Twin Bed

Canwood Alpine II Twin Bed, NaturalThis is a good value product which can be made even better if the buyer does some extra work. Having read mixed Reviews, I called an old Canwood customer service number and was told that another Canadian company, Storkcraft, had acquired their furniture line and relocated manufacturing. That information made me more comfortable that the quality of the bed should be suitable for my 5-year old grand-daughter because her Storkcraft crib/ youth bed had proven to be an excellent product.

The Pros: Unbelievably quick shipment; The bed is all kiln-dried pine (no MDF); Engineering and parts fit are excellent.

The Surprises: This product was manufactured in Viet Nam, not Canada, and the quality of finish was inferior to our previous Storkcraft white furniture. One box (rails and slats) had a build-date of Aug.2011, and the second box (headboard and footboard) had a build-date of Oct.2011, but paint match was close; None of the wood was primed and only one coat of white paint had been sprayed, so knotholes in the pine had already seeped a yellow color through the finish; This "twin bed" is made for a bunk application, and Storkcraft doesn't supply any plugs for the holes not used in a single twin-bed application. (Storkcraft customer service did send me a touch-up kit consisting of a wax crayon to fill scratches and a white felt marker.) The Instruction drawing of the bed slats is incorrect, or the plant decided to staple the straps on the opposite side the day they made these partshint: counter-sinked holes should be up.

The Easy Fix to Make The Bed Perfect: Sherwin Williams or Home Depot did not have a match for the color. Lowe's has all necessary materials: Valspar #85001 Satin White, wood dowels, Elmer's Carpenters Wood Glue, Elmer's Probond Wood Filler (white), 220-grit sandpaper and Crown Next Paint Thinner.

Hint: Assemble headboard and footboard and determine which holes you will not use when rails are attached. I filled all unused (20) holes, so I needed three different diameter dowels (measure the holes you want to fill with a drill bit). Glue the cut dowels to about 1/16" below surface, apply filler (over dowels and deep scratches), sand the filler and any areas where pineknots have seeped, wipe all wood with paint thinner to remove dust, then spray paint. If you want to spray two light coats on headboard, footboard, rails, you'll need about three 12-oz. cans of paint...and you will also have resolved a common complaint in the Reviewspainted the unsightly, unfinished screw heads.

This was a very good buy! I was looking all over for a decent priced slat based bed for my 3 year old. I didn't want to buy anything too expensive because she is only 3 and I just wanted something for the 3-10 year range until we buy her a nicer set. But this white one is cute, sturdy, and easy to put together. The only bummer is that the bolt heads are a little bit of an eye sore, but not bad overall. Very happy with this buy!

Buy Canwood Alpine II Twin Bed Now

We are very happy with this purchase. The color is beautiful and the bed looks great once it's set up. The basic product photos you see online do not do it justice this is one of those beds that look even better in person. The quality is really good. It will hold an adult; I was worried that it would not be sturdy enough, but it really is. I hear a minor squeak when we lean up against it to make the bed, but nothing major at all. It was easy to put together; my husband and I did it in a little over an hour. One person could probably put it together without a problem, it would just take longer. There is a big warning label/sticker on it, but the manufacturer probably heard all the customer complains and now put it on the back of the headboard, so it is not visible anymore. Overall, it arrived in good shape. There were minor scratches and one screw indentation (looks like a screw was lying on top of it and something heavy pushed it into the wood, leaving indentations). The biggest damage was about one square inch where the wood was actually clipped off, but it was in an inconspicuous place and the mattress now covers it. I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone, especially families with small children, tweens, teens it's a good first bed moving up from a toddler bed; yet it's sturdy enough that I would feel comfortable sleeping on it myself.

Read Best Reviews of Canwood Alpine II Twin Bed Here

Let me start by saying this bed is made in Vietnam. That's not a HUGE issue for me, and understandable for the price. It's PINE, so if you don't like pine grain, don't buy it. That all being said, it's not bad for the money. It's VERY easy to assemble (30 mins) (even without instructions as we received ours) and looks pretty good too.

It comes with extra hardware you don't need and extra holes drilled into it that again aren't utilized. The holes are kind of distracting IMO and it would be nice to get some hole plugs the color of the wood to close off the more noticeable ones on top.

I do agree with other reviews that talk about weight limits for this bed. My wife and son got on it and I could see the side boards move some. Not a lot, but you won't see me jumping in with him, we'd have a room full of toothpicks! lol

Overall we're happy with it. If it cost any more, we wouldn't be though. For a young child it's PERFECT!

Want Canwood Alpine II Twin Bed Discount?

I bought 2 of these: one for a 2.5 year old transitioning from a crib and one for guests. One of the beds arrived with a defect: a couple of slats were broken. Customer service at Storkcraft was ok: they exchanged with no hassles but it took about 2 weeks from my initial contact with them for a replacement set of slats to arrive.

In general, the visible parts of the bed (headboard, back board, side beams appear to be of decent quality, but the slats appear to be made very cheaply. I have high doubts that an adult above 150 lbs could sleep on this for long before they break.

I give it 3 stars due to one of the beds arriving broken and the manufacturer taking 2 weeks to fix it. Otherwise I'd rate it as 4 with a caveat that it's bought for a kid.

Set of 2 Dining Chairs with Cutout Design in Ivory Bycast

Set of 2 Dining Chairs with Cutout Design in Ivory BycastThis seller sent me chairs that were similar to the ones pictured (different shape, scale, wood tone, size, with cheap piping stapled over all seams), not the ones pictured. When I wanted to return them, the seller tried to charge me a restock fee and shipping both ways and was unwilling to take credit for their mistake, Amazon claims/returns and investigations were no help whatsoever... Horrible experience will never buy from this seller again, VERY disappointing experience with Amazon's customer support.

So if you have money to waste and want something 'ivory' that is shaped like a 'chair' then you should order these.

I searched on every website and furniture store possible to find a nice looking set of ivory chairs that would not be white or beige and clash with my ivory/cream leather couch that they sit directly behind since our kitchen is open to our family room, and these are the perfect fit! The only thing I personally would change is the size....I wish they were scaled down a little bit for a better fit under my table; but they are still fine. Great quality, nice looking, so easy to clean with kids, and surprisingly more beautiful than pictured. I'm a picky West Elm/Crate & Barrel girl, but I didn't want to pay $350 per leather chair for the chairs that went well with my Terra dining table from West Elm after just spending tons to furnish my dining room and remainder of my new house. I thought I'd get these for now and upgrade later, but I'm so pleased with them I don't think I'll upgrade for a while!

These chairs are OK. They are comfortable. The legs are a dark brown, not black like the picture shows. Like other reviewers, I had an issue with the stain getting on the back of the chair. Customer service was friendly and offered a discount or to send another chair back. I opted for the new chair back because I couldn't clean the stain off. The seam on the top of one of the chairs was a little bit off, but I can put that one on the backside of the chair. If you're not trying to save money, I would recommend the Home Decorators Oscar Dining Chair. But, for $118/set, this was quite a deal!

Hillsdale Furniture 1009BQR Cartwright Bed Set with Rails, Queen, Magnesium PewterI ordered this bed frame because it included the headboard, footboard, and rails. For the price this was a great deal with everything included. The frame arrived a day early, which was also nice! In any case, just a few comments.

1 the frame is much darker than in the picture, more a black/charcoal gray. Still worked with my room so this was fine.

2 instructions were... interesting. It took my fiancee and I 2 trys to get the pieces assembled correctly, but overall still took less than 30 minutes to assemble. Comes with an allen wrench, but we also used a pair of pliers to tighten the frame.

3 the frame itselft is great! Very sturdy we have a memory foam mattress (VERY HEAVY) and the cross beam in the frame supports this bed very well... so much better than the frame that come with the bed.

4 the headboard is a bit wobbly. The headboard and footboard are the same piece, however the headboard has to two that insert the bottom to make it higher. The poles and the footboard are nice and sturdy, but the headboard (on the poles) is definitely wobbly. Not a deal breaker for me, but just wanted to warn you. Still thinking of ways we can "firm it up"...

Overall we are very pleased with this purchase. Would purchase from Hillsdale again.

Summer Breeze Full Bookcase Headboard (54")

Summer Breeze Full Bookcase Headboard White WashThis headboard is such a great buy and since it has shelves and the great curved top it is stylish too!!! This dark chocolate is dramatic! The company was geat to work with!!! When the top curved piece came with a defect, I sent a picture with my webcam and they shipped me a new top piece and side piececs just in case the mismatch was due to a side panel defect it wasn't!!

For price, looks, nad practicality it can't be beat!!

I live in a tiny apartment so there is not enough space in a bed room to have whole bedroom set like 2 end tables on each side of bed. So I got this to have alarm clocks (I have iPod docking one for music and traditional analog version of alarm clock), some books (if I want to read before sleeping), my glasses, and picture frame etc... around.

Looks nice, too! Yes, it is very cheap not solid solid material, but hey, as long as you bang on it, you are good to go.
