Stork Craft Caribou Bunk Bed, Navy
Buy Stork Craft Caribou Bunk Bed, Navy Now
Pieces were labeled wrong so when my husband first put it together, it was wrong and he had to take the whole thing apart and do it again. The stickers on the pieces are hard to get off and leave sticky white substance on the bed or scratch off the paint when trying to remove them.Read Best Reviews of Stork Craft Caribou Bunk Bed, Navy Here
Easy to put up, it took a couple of hours but it was simple, it's very solid and just looks great. My boys love it. Great buy!!We already had BUNK BED in the room for the grandkids that my husband made. When I saw this BUNK BED on Amazon and the price...could not pass it up for the additional grandkids. It cost the same amt that it cost my husband in lumber and that was about 3-4 yrs ago. I could not pass this deal up. My husband put it together and said all the pieces were there, no problems putting it together and good quality. Very Happy with my purchase!Wednesday, December 17, 2014
Coaster Bevelled Cheval Mirror in Cappuccino Finish
However, when I opened up the box and attempted to lift the mirror out of the box, the frame separated from the glass. The cheap cardboard backing was so thin that the staples (yes, staples) ripped through the cardboard completely.
The color of the image on Amazon is misleading. This mirror frame is not as dark as the image suggests. It is more of a dark brown than a cappuccino.
I tried to contact the seller first when the item was late and got no response. Then after I took the item out of the box and the mirror separated from the frame I sent another email and got not response. Ultimately, I like the look of the mirror and the size is exactly what I need so I have chosen to have the frame repaired here.
Beware.Great packaging and a beautiful mirror. However, mirror is mounted on a thin masonite backing that is stapled to the back of the frame. After unpacking the mirror and leaving it leaning against a wall awaiting mounting, the masonite tore loose from the frame and allowed the mirror to fall out. Customer service was great and will send a new mirror out in a few days and will pay for free return shipping of the damaged mirror. If you order the mirror, I would suggest unpacking it and immediately getting a strong piece of wood the size of the back of the frame and screwing it on the back to hold the mirror in the frame.

Lift Top Storage Bench
We store our son's toys in it, and it's deep enough to hold a lot of them! The top will stay up so his fingers don't get caught or slammed while he's pulling out his toys. I love that I can just throw the scattered toys in it in 2 seconds, close the lid and the living room looks great again!
Also, as an ottoman, it's wonderful. The material is great quality and goes back into shape after resting your feet... so no permanent indents. Haven't tried sitting on it yet, but I think it would be fine. I will say that the color was darker than I'd expected. It is a very very dark brown, almost black. Very easy to put together, great looking piece, highly recommended!

The storage chest looks great. The legs were easy to attach. The leather look is very real. The top stays open which is a plus.We think it looks great at the foot of our bed.

This looked nice when I first put it together, but after only about a year of use, the polyurethane coating on the bicast leather began to peel off, littering little brown flakes all over my living room. Now it's ugly and making a mess. If you need an ottoman that will last more than a year, don't buy this one.Want Lift Top Storage Bench Discount?
I was looking for a non-ugly container for the mountains of baby toys taking over my living room that could possibly be used after my baby grows up. This ottoman was perfect to hold everything. The hinge holds the lid up if you open it enough, meaning that there's little potential for slamming on baby's fingers. The top and sides are soft and padded, so I don't have to worry about my little one knocking his teeth out on a hard coffee table. It is sturdy enough for me to sit on.The only downsides are that the top isn't flat (there's a slight curve as would be expected with any upholstered item) and there was a strong vinyl-y smell which went away after a few days of airing out.
Perfect for what I needed!

Full/Double 12 drawer Tall Platform Storage Bed
Buy Full/Double 12 drawer Tall Platform Storage Bed Now
This bed is well priced, nice looking and functional. However, while we were putting it together some peices of partical board broke off around where the screws went. Fortunatly the breaks are on the inside of the bed so they can't be seen, but it does weaken the frame. One more thing is to make sure you have a thin matress to go on the top as the head and foot boards are rather low.Read Best Reviews of Full/Double 12 drawer Tall Platform Storage Bed Here
Only one of two boxes arrived. The customer service number (for Prepac Manufacturing) on the instructions in the one box we did get was no longer working. The parts we did receive were very scratched up and in poor condition. I ended up contacting Amazon to return the item (try repacking all the parts in a very large, heavy, damaged box...). Definitely do not recommend.Want Full/Double 12 drawer Tall Platform Storage Bed Discount?
Still putting this together...the timelines in the instructions were not written for the intermediate do-it-yourselfer. The bed is what I expected, but some of the pieces are rather cheaply built. I find myself telling my daughter that when the back of the drawer breaks, we'll buy some stronger board to nail in place of the piece that came with the set. That pieces feels like a piece of foam covered with plastic. It's only a matter of time before she overstuffs the drawer and it's going to crack. On the other hand, the wood slats where the mattress fits over seem sturdy enough. Nevertheless, we purchased some metal brackets to screw in underneath them where the panels that hold the drawer runners connect to the edges of the bedframe.My daughter (age 21) loves it, though, and it will serve us well for the price we paid. I give the bed a Bfor functionality and overall worth.

Step One Headboard
Be wary of the screws included. There are two sets of 4 screws that are almost identical, and silly me got them swapped. I put the longer ones on the bottom of the headboard itself, leaving the too-short ones to attach it to the bed frame. Also, if you do what I did, you risk the screws poking through. So follow the instructions carefully.
Anyway, I realized that even with the right screws, it wouldn't be very well attached to the frame. So, I purchased a couple small L-brackets and attached those to the posts and the bed frame. Et voila, it is perfect!
Be careful to use the right screws in the right places, and consider using L-brackets for added stability, but it's a beautiful headboard!Looked great on the website and the price was good, but I had several disappointments with this item. The headboard did not have all of the necessary bolts, several of the outside facing pieces did not have vanier so I had to manualy paint them, many of the outward facing bolts did not come with caps to cover the bolts. Poor quality, poor workmanship, do not buy this item.

So i recieved my headboard and i was very happy with the outcome of the finished product. It took me about an hour to finish it completly. Its such a cute headboard I LOVE IT; I mean who can pay 69.99 and get a better deal? Nope never. Yes its not REAL wood but its nice and sturdy :)Want Step One Headboard Discount?
packaging was fine, no noticeable damage as it traveled from east coast to west coast by UPSinstructions was the worst (relatively) of all the south shore furniture items I bought (platform bed, side table, 6 drawer dresser), illustrations are slightly different from the actual items, but it is simple enough to figure out
the design is bad, pretty heavy and tall, attaches using only 4 smallish screws to the bed at the bottom. It will sway a lot if not resting against a wall, I added some foam boards in between this and the wall to stabilize
it will probably not be advisable to remove and re-attach during moving since it screws directly into the particle board (I wished it had bolts and nuts instead)
I would probably just buy the bed if I had to do this again

Streamline Duck Talking Alarm Clock
Drawback #2 there is no volume control.My six-year-old daughter loves this clock, and always makes sure it's by her bed at night. During the day, she often uses it in play. The quacking is very loud and satisfying, but we don't use it as an alarm clock, so I can't review that element of its function. My only complaint is that the batteries died within a few days.

I purchased 2 of these clocks within the last year. The first one stopped working after about a month and the second one came broken in the box. Apparently it was not packaged correctly. I tried to return the last one since it came broken but I was not able to due to the reason code. I was very disappointed. My daughter who is 8 absolutely loved this clock. I would love to have a working one because it is very cute.Read Best Reviews of Streamline Duck Talking Alarm Clock Here

Fantasy Palace 4-Poster Bed Canopy
Fortunately, she learns fast and it only took me saying "no" twice for her to realize this was not a product she should be chewing on. If you have small kittens, this might be a problem to consider. There are ways to arrange the netting so it is far above the ground. In fact, I seem to adjust this entire setup daily to suit my mood.
Sometimes I have all the eight panels tied up around the bed like a four-poster bed and then at other times I get creative and pull the end four panels together, twirl them and fold them up over the top. This creates an interesting effect and it looks like a palace bed. Then, there are times when I want to feel like I'm living in some romantic location on the globe and I let all the sheer panels float about the bed. It creates a very romantic environment and I like how the sheer netting can create exotic moods.
I have been very happy with this purchase and it only took about 10 minutes to install. You simply screw in the four hooks provided with the product. Then, you unfold the netting and hook it up on the ceiling.
Contents of box:
1 sheer bed canopy
4 ties (these are like little white ropes)
4 plastic anchors (If you need them before you install the screw hooks I don't think you will need them for most ceilings. They say some ceilings may need an anchor and you can use a drill bit or nails to make a hole in the ceiling and then insert the anchors.)
4 ceiling screw hooks
This product is machine washable and it hangs to dry. I'd use a very gentle cycle. It is 100% polyester and can fit any bed up to a king size bed. Look for this product in white, ecru, sage, peace or lilac.
~The Rebecca Review They don't provide air conditioning or window screens here and I am not going through summer with the windows closed. So I bought 2 of these in white; one for my queen size bed and one for my daughter's twin size bed. They are great!
I did find that because these are made for king size beds, they gapped at the ends where the fabric drooped. I solved the problem with my daughter's by taking the excess tie length and tying it between the hooks at each end. Then I took a white plastic clothes pin and pinned the end seams to the ties. It not only closed the gaps but raised the top of the canopy a little more away from the bed.
The gaps at the ends of my bed are much narrower so I just pull them closed and tuck the edge of the netting under my matteress.

I recently received my order for the Casablanca Palace Four Poster Bed Canopy and I got it in the shade of Ecru. I have a king size bed with four posters and the rungs across the top of the canopy frame and this Palace canopy is perfect for the bed. I just put each of the 4 loops under the bedpost knob at the top of the canopy post and it reaches great. I love the way it looks and you can have it all the way down or have it twisted or tied up. There's endless possiblities with how you want it to look. I love how the fabric is very light and meshy so that it still lets light through it and doesn't darken the room. I was afraid that it would make our room dark having a canopy curtain but it's perfect. I can see how it would be too much for a twin or double bed because it fits our king bed perfectly and the fabric even touches the ground when it's all the way down and our bed is very high up and the canopy frame is super tall (about 87 inches tall). Long story short, great product great price and it looks absoluetely beautiful on my bed!Read Best Reviews of Fantasy Palace 4-Poster Bed Canopy Here
I read through all of the reviews of this product first, before purchasing it, and when I received the item, I took all of the other buyers problems into consideration--I disagree with a lot of them. First of all, this is basically like a one size fits all kind of product. You can readjust the loops and just hang the actual fabric itself from the hooks and then pin it up in the middle of all four sides and voila, it fits perfect to your bed. I even have a sloped ceiling, and it still works perfect for me and looks cute as well. I'd also like to note, that it doesn't say that it's made out of mosquito netting. It just says it's functional for small insects and it seems to do the job just fine for me.This product also helps me feel very relaxed. I love going to bed underneath it and waking up there as well. It's a very modern decoration and makes my room feel larger to me, which is a major plus, considering my bedroom is small. The only downfall I found with this item is that it attracts kittens. I have two cats who are kept in my room when I'm not home, and they like to pull it down and climb up it, but although they do this almost everyday, they have only inflicted two tiny wholes in the fabric.
All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase. I recommend it to any others considering buying it, it is definitely worth the $30, especially considering the price of most other 4 post canopy's. This canopy is exactly as described. I bought the black version and was easily able to install it on my four poster canopy bed. The fabric pieces are all long enough to touch the ground, and it adds a really nice touch to my bedroom. For its relatively inexpensive price, I found it a bargain.

Buy 2 Piece Solid Sky Blue Sheer Window Curtains/drape/panels/treatment 58"w X 84"l Now
Wish it was more blue like in the picture. It's very very baby blue. Still nice color but I wanted more blue. not the best quality but can't beat the price.Despite my complaints I still give these curtains 4 stars because of the quality for the dollar. You pay what you get for I suppose. They are not too bad. I just cut the fraying strings off and hung them up and they look quite nice and not cheap at all.HOWEVER: in the curtains I received the color is very off from the picture. This picture says "sky blue" however the curtains I received were listed as "slate blue" which is a bit grayer and I'm still currently sitting here and looking at the windows still trying to decide whether they match my room.
I'm a bit disappointed by the color turnout but regardless this was still a pretty good purchase.

Allure Headboard in Ebony
The product itself isn't particularly glamorous. The brand seems to be traditionally sold at Walmart, and the quality is what you'd expect: low-quality particleboard with a decent veneer. Without being attached to the bed structure, it is rather wobbly. I suspect it would not be very steady even if you purchased it with the intended platform bed.
I would advise would-be buyers to reject this out of hand if they are not also looking at the platform bed, and think twice if they are. I suspect a pine ikea-type bed would be a better, cheaper investment.
