Baxton Studio Letterio White Cradle Chair

Well made. Went together just fine and feels sturdy. Legs are chrome, unlike the pictured black, but that was good in my opinion. It is a carbon copy of the original Eames RAR. If you're not familiar with the original, you may be surprised at how small the chair is. It fits us just fine, but in comparison to modern day chairs it is small.

King's Brand 9101W Air Lift Adjustable Swivel Bar Stool with Chrome Finish, Set of 2, White


Product Description

This luxurious bar stools are in a class of its own. Suitable for most any environment, the simple one piece seat employs quilted faux leather stitched over copious amounts of padding to provide excellent levels of comfort. The mid-level backrest gives good support to the lower spine. The chromed stand with adjustable height gas lift holds up the seat in a fashion that makes it seem as though it is hovering in the air. A round base with rubber protection for your floor, 360 degree swivel and the round footrest make these different from the usual run-of-the-mill bar stools and gives more visual impact. A simple yet well executed design that goes a long way. High quality chrome finished base, height adjustable foot rest, white vinyl seat. Simple assembly required. Measures about 17-2/3-inch width by 18-1/2-inch depth and adjusts from table to counter/bar height 33-3/5-inch to 45-inch total height or 22-2/5-inch to 32-2/7-inch for the seat height. Seat height is about 11-4/5-inch from the center of the seat. Base has a 15-2/3-inch diameter.

Lift Top Storage Bench

We bought this ottoman after doing a lot of research and every reasonably-priced one we found seemed cheaply made. But this one is beautiful! We are thrilled with our purchase and our 10-month old son loves it too. We use it as a toy box, ottoman and coffee table, putting a wooden try on it when company comes over for plates or glasses.

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!

SEI Metal Spine-Style Book Tower

I'd been lusting after this book tower for nearly a year when I walked into a friend's apartment and was greeted by what seemed like a MAGICAL STACK OF BOOKS. When you fill the bookcase completely, all shelves but the base seem to disappear. The look of it is quite simply a bibliophile's dream. I wanted it, but I couldn't justify spending around $200 for the one like hers from CB2. I tried over and over to find a similar bookshelf, but the closest one I found was an even more expensive model at The Container Store.

Finally, I stumbled upon this model by SEI, which is significantly more affordable and just as sturdy and chic. Very simple to put together and, I imagine, take apart. HUGE space saver (especially for book addicts). Color me DELIGHTED.

Polder Ultra light Aluminum 3-Step Ladder

I needed a step ladder for daily use in my kitchen and I'm very pleased with this one by Polder (I prefer it over the highly rated Werner 150B -- which has been relegated to my basement storage area, which I seldom use).

The two key features that are a real improvement over the Werner step ladder is that this one opens and closes effortlessly with one fluid motion and has a long handle to help keep you steady and secure while precariously perched two or more feet off the ground.

If you'll be using a step ladder frequently and worry about losing your balance and falling without a long handle to hold onto should you need one, than this Polder step ladder is worth the extra money for this safety feature alone.

Brica Fold N' Go Travel Bassinet

I received this portable basinet as a baby shower gift and it was one of the best presents. I had a C-section and had a hard time getting in and out of bed in the first weeks, so I used the basinet to have the baby sleeping in it and placed it in the middle of the bed for easy access. Also, because of the light weight, I was able to carry the basinet anywhere in the house where I would need it. The basinet is also great for traveling as it folds very easily and it takes very little space.

OmniMount Echo 50 - 50 Inch Video Table - Espresso

I had been looking around for quite some time to find a low profile TV stand that was wide enough for all my components, yet slim enough to fit on my fireplace underneath the mantle. This stand fit the bill perfectly.

The stand took minimal construction and feels very solid once put together. There is some simple wire management in the back of each of the wood sections to allow you to hide unsightly wires. There is enough space on for both my 52" LCD and my soundbar on the top shelf. Bottom shelf allows ample space for several components (probably 3 side by side, but I have them stacked).

Amazon shipping was within 3 days for this product.

Sonax E-0062-BF Fiji 60-Inch TV Component Bench, Ravenwood Black

I have a 60 inch plasma sitting on the stand and it holds it great. I considered buying a glass top stand and my wife was worried about the weight of the TV on it so I went with this one. The weight of the TV is not an issue with this stand. It's sturdy and finished really nice too. It came with nice cover plugs to cover/hide the nuts that hold the pieces together. It arrived packed in an excellent manner and the finish was pristine (no nicks, scratches, scuffed corners , etc.). I did not install the glass doors due to having a small child who would love to open and close it hundreds of times per day. The glass was in perfect condition though (checked it before putting it away for future use). I'm going to take some black hobby paint and color in the shelf holes that are not used so they are not visible. It's not obvious though. The bottom has plastic feet that are rounded and having wood floors it slides really easy when I need to pull the stand out to get to the back of my equipment. This is probably the biggest plus I'd say. I would imagine it would slide just as easily on carpet too (have someone hold your TV while doing it though). It probably took me 30-45 minutes to put together. Lay it on a blanket so you don't scratch the finish. The backing sits with at least an inch to spare at the top so you can snake wire out the back without having to drill but at the same time you can't see open space from any sitting angle. As another reviewer said, use an electric drill to save time. For the price I thinks it's great. There were a lot more expensive model that I don't think were any better. I'm glad I purchased this stand.

Contours Classique 3-in-1 Wood Bassinet

This is a really great solution for small spaces. We bought this upon the arrival of our second child. The older kid is 2.5yo. We live in a town home and space is limited. I wanted to be able to have the newborn sleep in our room in the beginning so as not to wake the older kid at night for feedings and diaper changes since the nursery is right next big sister's room. I also did not want to set up the pack-n-play or a co-sleeper which are bigger and not as portable. This product is very versatile and convenient. It is well made and looks very nice. It does not look cheap, except for the casters. The casters do not swivel well and are prone to locking but that is not a big deal at all. I roll it from the bedroom back to the nursery. It may work better on wood floors. It's nice to have the Moses basket to take to the living room or home office etc. It's very useful and handy. It's also nice to be able to wheel it out of the room during the day to store in the nursery. The accessory shelf on the bottom is great for supplies. The convertible diaper changing shelf is also handy and not cumbersome at all to use, however, I find it even easier to just use a changing pad on the bed/couch instead of pulling the changing table out. It's very stable. I know some people have complained about the the thin bottom board on the basket but for a newborn it is not an issue. It provides plenty of support. I used a baby size comforter folded in half to provide extra cushioning for the basket pad. The pad is quite thing and you can feel the hardware beneath it but with a comforter on top it is not an issue at all. I am very happy with this purchase. For the price it has tons of utility and is of very good quality and style. I would recommend this to anyone with a newborn/infant. It did take my husband 1 hour (he has a PhD) to assemble it.

Step2 Deluxe Art Master Desk

This was a gift for our 3 year olds birthday and it was a huge hit! She is very artistic and could paint and color all day. It holds plenty of art supplies and we currently have several packs of crayons, dry erase crayons, 2 types of paints, markers, and pencils just on top and underneath several types of Crayola products like color wonder boards, light wonder with paint, drawing pads, and an additional white board. I was very happy with the amount of storage and also with the ease the white board cleans. Any one buying this I highly suggest the Crayola dry erase crayons. They are smell free and clean off easily with a wet paper towel. Desk seems like it will last forever through several kids and will continue to clean up well. Also, it was easy to assemble and took my husband no more than 30 minutes or so. Overall very happy with the purchase!

Winsome Wood End Table/Night Stand with Drawer and Shelf, Black

Combining solid/composite wood construction with a tidy and practical style, this versatile end table/night stand makes a fresh and clean addition to the room. The oversized tabletop features a straight-edged square shape, while below the four rectangular legs host a deep storage drawer and open shelf. For subtle flair, the drawer front and lower side rails are sculpted with a wide curve that softens the table's overall look. Also notice how the wood nailhead accents and a simple drawer pull offer a tailored finish. Classic enough to stay in style no matter how the furnishings around it change, this table comes in four handsome finishes: Natural, Walnut, Black, and White. It measures 18 inches in diameter by 22 inches high. Insider drawer dimension is 12”W x 13.78”D x 2.32”H. Shelf is 13.31”W x 14.88”D. Clearance from bottom of drawer to shelf is 9.33”. --Kara Karll

Atlantic CD Case Oskar Media Cabinet 756 CD or 360 DVD

As far as quality goes, this unit easily rates a 5-star review and as the advertisement says, it hold 360 DVDs.

If I had a workbench and a drill with screwdriver bits, this unit could have easily been assembled in 15 minutes.

The only drawback was the fact that the instructions and diagrams were very small and there was no reference when putting the pieces together as to which pieces should face up (finished side or unfinished side). Consequently, depending on which side you choose to face-up may have an impact upon the orientation of the diagrams.

This is the first unit that I have purchased from Atlantic but I plan on buying an exact duplicate to this in just a week or two; I was that impressed.

When trying to buy a similar Atlantic unit from a national retailer, I found through Amazon.com the price was unbeatable.

Coaster 900280 Snack Table with Burnished Copper Base, Brown

Ordered this snack side table, for my small study/office room, and found it to be an excellent choice. Besides being study and firm, it is decorative and goes well near with sofa and chair. It needs very little space and can be placed whenver it is convenient, and then put anywhere without disturbing the flow of the room. It looks very nice for the price I paid.

Rolling Step Stool 500 lb Capacity

Product Features

Color: Black
  • Solid steel construction holds up to 500 lbs
  • Retractable casters roll easily then lock down when stepped on
  • Wrap-around bumpers protect walls and furniture
  • Scratch-resistant powder coating
  • Easy snap-together assembly, no tools required
I'm 5'3" and have a hard time reaching past the second shelf in my new kitchen. I have tall cabinets and with the Kik Step I can utilize every shelf w/o having to carry a cumbersome step stool around. The Kik Step just "hangs" around my kitchen (I got the Silvertone to match the stainless steel appliances). I just gently roll it to where I need it. I got one for my 66 year old mother to make it a little safer for her to reach her tall cabinets, also.

Friendly Toys Little Playzone with Sound and Lights

Product Description

Little kids will love playing in the Little Playzone. There are lots of things to see and do: the activity board has colorful spinning balls, a play phone and light-up musical keyboard. A swinging hinged door with safety lock gives parents easy access to children. Additional connectors and walls can be added to expand the size. These extra connectors and walls are sold separately. Quick and easy assembly and disassembly for compact storage. Great for indoor/outdoor use. Instruction sheet included. 



Our son loves this -- he doesn't think of it as being a "cage", but rather as a fun play area. He hardly ever cries when we put him here, unlike his play pen.

Suggestion -- buy 2 sets, which is equivalent area wise to buying 4 extensions, but costs less (especially with shipping), and provides 2 gates and 2 activity walls, unlike the extensions, which are just plain blue walls. A single set is no bigger than a playpen.

Another suggestion -- remove the bear stickers (which are on the blue walls) or turn these walls inside-out so that the sticker is on the outside of the play area. Otherwise, your child may tear off (and eat?) the sticker.
