Buy Wallies Wallpaper Mural, 2-Sheet, OK Out of this World Now
Product appears to be primary bright colors in photo, but in the person many of the colors are closer to a pastel family than brights. I was disappointed since the bedroom is bright yellow, navy blue, and red. The Earth Wallie also has a defect on it.Olive Kids Out of This World Wallies Big Mural

I totally loved this when it went up in our 3 year olds room when we were changing it from a "babies" room. My 3 year old thought it was "nice" but wasn't jumping off the walls with excitement he thought the magnetic paint we put on his door was way better. Only word of warning would be that they are large transfers so you need a decent amount of wall space to spread them out for the full effect. Oh, and for the size of the larger pieces like he rocket, they're still easy to position and put up.Want Wallies Wallpaper Mural, 2-Sheet, OK Out of this World Discount?
I really liked the designs for this, it has made my son's room just awesome! The only problem would be is that it didn't stick as well as I thought it should. I have never wall-papered anything before, but I followed the instructions and pretty much all the shapes came off the wall a little bit. I will have to use double sided tape to fix it.Wednesday, January 14, 2015
Caleb Coffee Table
We also got the same guy to put this together, it took him about an hour.I was slightly doubtful when putting it together. It's super heavy when together and I liked that alot. It's about 1/2" lover than my other one was but it has style and is really really nice. My male cat seems to enjoy hanging out on the bottom shelf-lol.
I would encourage a buy on this keeping in mind that the measurements are true and spot on.
Plasma TV Stand Cabinet with Sliding Door in Black Finish
Ok, now for some advice in assembly:
1. The packaging is so intensely protected with packing peanuts that they get EVERYWHERE... so be ready to vacuum your entire life including the parts of the console itself. :) Again, this is a good problem because it means that the glass, wood, and various parts are in mint condition. Still, they get EVERYWHERE.
2. Assembly was a cinch! One piece of advice: HOOK UP ALL YOUR DEVICES BEFORE PUTTING ON THE TOP OF THE CONSOLE. It might as well be impossible to plug everything in once the assembly is complete.
3. The only reason this did not receive 5 stars is because the size of the holes were slightly too small and I had to do a bit o' cramming to get all my HDMIs through. There is a great piece of design to help off set some of this issue: there is space between the back wall and the back of the shelves to allow cords to swap through compartments, that to me does work but not perfectly as most people want to hide their cords behind their consoles as did I and once again are forced to fit several cords (if you have many devices) through those small holes. It all works just fine, but in a semi cramped style.
4. Also, the design is such that you can flip the handles so they are closest to each other when pulled shut as opposed to the description picture which has them at opposite ends, but that's just a preference. Also, they provide a small screwdriver for the screws that keep in the glass panes on the doors... use your own screw driver, their's wasn't that great.
Overall, the product is beautiful and classes up whatever room it is in. Highly recommended.

We purchased this to add to the platform storage bed so it had a headboard, and while we weren't really looking for a bookcase headboard, I'm really glad we got this one. Our daughter puts her stuffed animal friends, books, etc. on here, and the bed is so sturdy, nothing falls onto her when she moves all around at night. Excellent deal for the price too!Thursday, January 8, 2015
Coaster Contemporary Jewelry Armoire, Cappuccino
The holes for my flip up mirror were drilled off center so I had to re-pilot some new ones to make sure things were even. The top knob on the fake drawer was also mis-drilled for me, so I had to re-do it in order for the knob to sit flush. The inside lining is pretty cheap felt, although at least on my unit it was glued down fairly neatly. Otherwise the drawers and flip out sides lined up properly for me and felt solid.
This doesn't look expensive by any means, but at 1/2 to 1/3 the price of other units the same size, it holds up for the price paid. You won't find a suitable spot for a boatload of jewelry for less.
I do wish the bottom 2 larger drawers had some dividers, as they are fairly large buckets as it is, but that will be easily enough fixed with some additions I'll put in later.
All in all, about what I expected. I love my jewelry chest! If you've accumulated more than like 5 necklaces you NEED a chest like this! The black espresso finish with brushed nickel knobs and hooks makes for a contemporary new look and is perfect for ALL my jewelry instead of having multiple small jewelry boxes on the dresser. Plus the price was reduced by over 50% when I purchased it. So worth it and space-saving!

Item ships well, came slightly scratched. Shorter than you think it is! Take the measurement seriously, this think comes up to my waist when it sits on the floorNot exactly the height you think an armoire should be. Also, drawers don't have dividers in them. I didn't look inside of them when I was buying, so heads up. Otherwise, great value and is EXACTLY as described.Read Best Reviews of Coaster Contemporary Jewelry Armoire, Cappuccino Here
I was happy to have received this as a Christmas present in 2011. When assembling it, I found one leg that didn't have the necessary threads in it for the leg to be installed securily. I emailed the maker, Coaster, and they said they would ship me a new leg in either February or March. Here it is April 2nd and I have yet to receive the new leg or any communication from them since their original responses. It's time for a "nasty-gram".Want Coaster Contemporary Jewelry Armoire, Cappuccino Discount?
I liked the design and the size. The shipping was good enough but the cabinet arrived damaged. Its a corner damage and could have been avoided. This is not real wood ! :-( Its particle board with laminate. The legs are rickety at best and the predrilled holes are of nominal quality. The hinges are not squared anywhere. This product is made in China and it shows.King Atlantic Furniture Monterey Platform Bed with Open Footrail in Antique Walnut
The only reason I am giving this bed 4 stars is because when it was originally shipped to me it was missing several pieces of the underbed slat support system, including the bolts used to put the support rails together. I was missing one of the two three-foot center rails, one of the sets of support legs, and all the nails/bolts used to attach them. This is not Amazon's fault, I contacted Atlantic Furniture directly and they sent out the missing pieces free of charge and fairly quickly. After I had all the pieces it was very easy to put the bed together.
Overall, it looks beautiful and suits me well.

I was looking for bar stools that didn't take up a lot of space and were high enough for guests to sit at the island in the middle of our kitchen. My husband and I are impressed with how sturdy these stools are.The stools looked a little lighter in color on the internet than they do in person. Luckily the color ended up working for me but it wasn't what I expected.

Craig Frames Picture Frame, Smooth Wood Grain Finish, 1-2" Wide, Various Colors and Finishes
Buy Craig Frames Picture Frame, Smooth Wood Grain Finish, 1-2" Wide, Various Colors and Finishes Now
It is a nice frame with light weight, easy to install the poster. The only thing not satisfied is the delivery package, there are some scratches on the corners of the frame, maybe should wrap the frame with some cushion bubbles before put it in the box. Overall we are happy with the purchase.Was a little hesitant about ordering frames online but decided to give it a shot and ordered about six frames of various sizes. The price was great.Everything arrived promptly and was packaged well.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because of the glass (seems to be the acrylic kind) that came with the frame...it feels 'cheap' and does not have UV protection and so I doubt it will offer any type of long term protection for my photos...but then again for the price I paid I wasn't expecting it too...just wish the description had more detail regarding the type of glass that IS included as opposed to just some verbiage about upgrading to the 'premium glass' somewhere else on the product description page.
Overall very happy with the purchase and the prompt delivery.

Dorel Home Products Junior Loft with Slide
-It claims to have a 225 lb weight limit (I, at 200 lbs, climbed in and it held me just fine)
-It is a little bit wobbly when my child climbs up the ladder -barely noticeable but I would prefer to be absolutely rock-solid
-I used a 8" mattress in the bed. The instructions call for a 6" mattress. The 8" mattress works just fine except for the fact that I wish the guardrails were now an inch or two taller as they only extend 2-3" above the mattress.
-The slide takes up quite a bit of room, more so than I expected
-When assembled (even if the slide is off), it won't fit through a standard bed room door
-Good storage space under the bed which helps mitigate the amount of space it takes up
All in all, a nice children's bed especially if you can find it on sale or during a lightning deal (as I did).My son was going through a phase where he wouldn't sleep in his own bed and was in mine every night. He helped me pick this bed out and promised if I got, he'd sleep in his own room again. Sure enough, he's in love with it. He tells everyone about his "slide bed" and how cool it is. He's only 3 so I was a little concerned with the height, but I bought a 6" mattress as recommended and it's been perfect. I keep pillows on the floor under the loft for peace of mind, but the railing really does the trick and he's an active sleeper. You can't beat the $200 price tag either. I liked this model without the curtains because the stock curtain colors for the bed clashed with his room. I easily made my own and I'm not at all crafty. It really looks adorable and it's SO MUCH FUN for him! Very pleased.

I bought this for my daughter's birthday surprise, but it was missing the piece which attaches the slide to the bedframe(very vital) so I haven't been able to use the bed yet. It is very cute though as a crazily expensive playhouse(with purchase of the curtain accessory). The bed seems sturdy, but wouldn't risk a child's health by leaving it up with the ladder and no other way to get down. Maybe if she was stronger or larger?! I'm very upset with ameriwood. After contacting them about the missing part, it hasn't arrived within the 2 weeks maximum time frame which I was given. I have yet to hear from the manufacturing company actually! So, if you get all the parts I would suggest this bed, but if you are like me, you are s.o.l.Read Best Reviews of Dorel Home Products Junior Loft with Slide Here
I ordered this for my son's 5th birthday. He LOVES it!!!!! The only issue is that one of the slats was missing. Other than that, it's great!!!My 4 year old loves this bed. The slide is fun. The only thing I don't like is it squeaks when you are turning over and around on the bed. That can probably be solved with some WD-40 or something. Still waiting on my husband to check on that. The bed seems a little wobbly when you climb up it, but that is only when I am getting on it. LOL It does take up a little more room than I expected because of the slide. I wish my son's room was a little bigger. Maybe I will just get a bigger house one day??Saturday, December 20, 2014

can find them cheaper at Micheal's Crafts.
So only ordered the one... I am a photographer and seller.. I still have the one frame but that was fine due to the fact I can personally use itLove this frame. I got it for Christmas (it was exactly what I wanted) and it's awesome. I couldn't find anything like this in storesespecially Michaels, who wanted me to pay close to $70 for a custom frame that was much uglier than this one. I plan on buying at least two more in different sizes, they are great for the art pieces I want to hangtraditional but still modern enough to fit in anywhere, especially in the black like I got. My one and only gripe is that when it got here, a little corner (seriously, a tiny little edge) of the black finish seemed to be separating from the wooden frame a little, which is why I didn't give it a full 5 stars. It seems more of a shipping issue than a product issue, and should be easy enough to fix with some glue. All in all, I love it, and I can't wait to get more.

Disney Princess 9 Bin Toy Organizer
The stickers are not evenly put on. The customer service was useless. They promised a small refund and did not follow through.
A huge waste of money.
Also it's very small. That part was my fault. I should have looked at size.
Go to and get a better product and get some princess sticker and put them on yourself. Thats what I should have done.Bins are large enough to organize accessories for her toy collection. Easy assembly, and no scratches/marks yet and she's used it for a year now. Works esp. well when using as additional toy storage (keeps smaller toy pieces easily accessible and neat.) And, she loves the princess design.
Buy Disney Princess 9 Bin Toy Organizer Now
I purchased this item so I wouldn't have my 2 and 1/2 year-old niece's toys laying around my living room. When I got home and found that my sister had already put it together I was a little disappointed in the size, as it is very small. I suppose I have only myself to blame for not reading the dimensions before purchasing it so I did not mark it down for that. It is adorable and nice to have around, especially since my sister and her two kids moved into my one bedroom apartment and I don't have a lot of room but it will most likely get donated and bumped for a larger one once I am in a house. The entire organizer is pretty tough, considering it is used daily by a toddler, and the plastic bins have held up fine. My main concern when I first got it was that it might fall over on my eight month-old niece because it is very light in weight but she actually rolls right over to it and pulls the bottom bins off and plays with the toys without any shifting or moving, which is a relief! I recommend this to anyone in small living quarters or to those who regularly discard or donate unused toys and do not need lots of storage.Read Best Reviews of Disney Princess 9 Bin Toy Organizer Here
This bin rack has very little clearance between rows so it's kinda hard to get toys in and out of the bins but it's no different than most of the others I've seen.This product is perfect for my daughters room. She is obsessed with the Disney Princesses and this was a great addition. The bins are sturdy and easily cleaned. The construction, though the bins are held up by cloth, is surprisingly sturdy. Also, the princess on the side of the furniture is not just a sticker that will peel away with time. Thanks for the great product!Sunday, November 30, 2014
Queen Size Black Finish Canopy Metal Bed Headboard and Footboard
That said, it's well worth what I paid--if not more, comparatively speaking--and I do love it. I am very pleased with the way it looks with the mesh draperies, and since the look is one I've liked for a long time, I'm tickled pink to have finally gotten it. All that said, bear in mind that this isn't a heavy, solid bed. Sure, it's sturdy, but if you're expecting something of medieval weight and strength, look elsewhere.
Also, check your bed frame. If I hadn't read the reviews, I wouldn't have realized that I needed to get either extensions or a new bedframe. And that turned out to be the biggest problem I had with the bed; the replacement bedframe I ordered (not from Amazon) had a deceptive description and differed not at all from the one I already have. I shipped it back, put the bed itself together anyway, and have ordered the extensions for the bedframe so that I can bolt the footboard to the bedframe and fully stabilize the whole shebang. So maybe it's not the most expensive bed, but I love it, and although it does fill the room (you never realize how much space you perceive above a bed until it's more or less limited), it doesn't overpower it, and I love it.I can't believe they still make this thing. I had one years ago when I first moved out on my own.
This is just a headboard and footboard that you attach to a basic bed frame. Everything pretty much screws into each other. The canopy bars mostly are there to hold the headboard and footboard up. You can drape some light fabric on it, but nothing heavy.
This bed says it is metal, but it is more like decorated plastic. If you are getting it for a guest bedroom, then it is great. If you are getting it for your first place, it is great. If you are looking to get it as something to have for years to come...don't get it. The more you use the bed, the more the pieces move and become a little loose. So make sure you check it and tighten it often.
Overall, it's not bad. I personally think paying more than $100 is too much, though. However, I would not have this in my own house now.

South Shore, Classic View Collection, TV Stand, Chocolate
The quality is poor to say the least. The instructions are confusing and are wrong. The instructions told me to put the top peice on a certain way, which would leave the exposed pressed board (yes, not all sides have the espresso color) facing the front. I could not put the doors on because there were no pre-drilled holes, so I gave up. I am returning this item immediately. It is just really unfortunate because I waited for this item to deliver, spent about 30 minutes on the phone with the manufactuer, and a couple hours assembling this poor quality stand, only to have to take it all apart. Save yourself the time and money and buy something else.We got our stand in yesterday and put it up already. Great color that matches everything we have. It came with a few scratches on it but nothing that we cant fix. It is pressed wood but it holds our 46 inch TV with no problem. Just be sure to tighten the screws really well. Its wonderful for the price we paid and it got here 2 days before we expected it. It will scratch easy so be careful. But we love it! It looks nice and is perfect for our apt!

Delivery was pretty fast, however, the package was not securely wrapped. Most of the boards came damaged and scratched. It was full of dust and dirt......horrible. The tv stand was poorly made and was horrible quality. I was afraid to even touch it cause I thought it would easily fall apart. I've gotten better furniture from Big Lots. There's no use of ordering this online. The exact same stand is in Wal-Mart for the same price, probably better quality. The positive is that South Shore is replacing the broken parts, but I really shouldn't have to go through all the trouble.Read Best Reviews of South Shore, Classic View Collection, TV Stand, Chocolate Here
If there was a no star option, I would chose this. This item has lost Amazon a customer. How bad is it? This is the first product review I have ever written.When I first received this product I was impressed, it was a decent weight and arrived with minimal bumps or bruises. I worked on putting it together for about a half a day. The instructions weren't very detailed so I made sure to follow the pictures completely as shown.
Towards the end of the assembly I went to put on the top, biggest portion, only to discover the holes didn't align, and the entire base part had been assembled incorrectly as per the instructions. Thinking it could be my error, I tried to make the product work (sometimes its a bit of a stretch) and the screws from the top part Ripped from the wood and damaged the whole item. I re-read the instructions meticulously and concluded I had built the item exactly to the manufactures instruction.
I contacted the manufacture who stated they could send out a replacement top piece. But I had to contact the seller for a refund. Looking at the stand, at least five pieces would have to be replaced (top part spans these). The whole bottom portion would have to be dissembled, replaced, and reassembled in contrast to the directions. Not worth it.I asked for a pre-assembled replacement and was told they didn't offer that. Imagine that, they don't even want to put their products together!
I work full time, go to school full time, and cram this remodel of the room into the weekends which I am attempting to finish before the holidays. This was a huge waste of time, and when I contacted the seller to simply return the item (not spending more time on this), I was told I would have to package it for shipping. More time to disassemble practically the whole thing. More effort for this piece of junk. Not to mention I would have to buy packaging accessories.
I am taking this as a hundred dollar lesson, throwing it in the trash, and never shopping with Amazon again. Their customer service team asked me to be empathetic that Amazon would lose money if I didn't return the product. No regard for the time, money, or effort I wasted, and my mass frustration for having it almost completely assembled only to realize at the end, it was defective. I ended up wasting an entire days worth of time dealing with something that is going in the trash. I cancelled the rest of my order, and am now starting at square one again.
At least with Target you can return the product as is, and get an instant refund to purchase a better product without wasting more time, or getting backed up in your work.
Do NOT buy this product.

I have put together many pieces of RTA furniture in my lifetime but this one was the worst. The holes that were drilled for the rails for the drawer were off by 2inches. The doors would not line up, even with a level. I have purchased other South Shore items in the past and they were easy to assemble. Do Not Waste you time or money on this product. Also the screws started to separate from the left leg and the base, so if you had an expensive Flat screen TV and a Bose wave system on it they might come crashing down!I had to request a refund and I threw this item in the trash. I ended up with a better TV/entertainment stand from Target.
