Modern and simple, but thoughtful and well made

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!  Not too cheesy, and not over the top cutsey.  I looked long an hard for a baby book that would capture things that I cared about, the important and thoughtful memories of baby's first year, and this is it.  The style is modern and simple.  Easy to read and not overwhelming to fill out.  I also feel like this is something that our baby will appreciate reading as she grows up.  The questions are very thoughtful.  Great buy!

Contemporary looks, sturdy. Worth the money.

This is a beautiful piece. The design is subtle with a modern aesthetic that will blend in a variety of settings and decor. It has found a home in my library study and makes a beautiful statement without being a "conversation piece." The size is nice and is well-balanced so that it does not easily tip over if bumped. The quality of the workmanship is top notch with no seams, gouges, rough edges, or split wood. A brilliant and well-recognized piece carved with very contemporary feel.

These have a modern look and nice feel. Solid enough but not too heavy. The wavy pattern is inside and helps prevent the glasses sticking together if someone stacks them. The bottoms are flat so they are dry out of the dishwasher and you won't get a splash. They are sleek and just the right heft in each size

Beautiful, Modern, Useful

I love this in my studio bathroom. It's beautiful, modern and very useful and pairs nicely with the towel ring which I also selected to snazz things up a bit. Both were easy to install with very clear directions. I did it myself and basically took less than 10 minutes each to install. But I didn't need the anchors or require a drill which is dependent on the type of material you'll be installing these on hard surfaces like stone or tile which I don't recommend for average tool-time-cowpokes.

This is a simple desk light but is so sleek and modern that it looks high class. The quality is good, base is nice and strong to keep from tipping over. It goes together in just seconds and is working in under a minute. Lovely! Takes up little room on your desk and gives off a lot of light. I like the dimming feature as sometimes you just need a little light.

These pulls are good quality and a nice looking style. I wasn't sure what to expect given that the current price is so much less expensive than pulls I've purchased before and pulls I currently see at Lowe's that appear to be comparable quality. The build, style and quality is really unexpected given the price point. These pulls measure 3" inside the arch and are big enough for me to open cabinet doors using three fingers. The outside measurement is 5" long end-to-end and gives the appearance that the pulls are larger than 3" pulls. The longer appearance makes these the perfect size for our kitchen cabinets. For our kitchen drawers, we're using a different style 3" pull with the same finish that's made by the same company.

I think the style of the pulls, and the oil rubbed bronze finish give these pulls a more rustic traditional look. We like mixing modern and traditional styles throughout our home, so the combination of color, size and style of these pulls work well for our kitchen cabinets. Our cabinets are white and plain and these pulls add some much-needed style to our kitchen, plus they're functional too. I can't judge the durability yet, so I can't say how the finish will hold up over time. But the oil rubbed bronze finish appears nicely done and has attractive variations in the application so the pulls aren't just a solid flat color. The pulls are smooth metal with no rough edges, though the design has these squared off at the outside corners making the corners a little pointy. The included screws are the right length for installing the pulls on our cabinets, but would be too short for our drawers. Overall, these are nice pulls and a good value at the current price of about $17.

This is a very nice card that has a touch of the antique flair mixed with modern style.  The front cover is thick and a bit heavier that we are accustomed to in cards.  But the woven design on the front is lovely.  The interior is blank and it allows for one to include a personalized message.  So the card can be used for a variety of occasions, I used mine as a Get Well Soon card for a friend.  Since it is a wee bit thick, it requires extra postage, but it isn't much extra postage.  It is nice to have something different to send and I like having this card for such a purpose.

This is a well-made and thoughtfully designed workout device with no frills but good performance.  I strongly recommend that you go to YouTube to get an idea of the range of potential exercises for which this can be used.  You'll probably use more of those exercises than what is presented by Merrithew.  You can focus on your core, as well as other areas (e.g., legs and arms). and the circle is adaptable to several traditional and other exercises.

You'll notice that the handle placement interrupts the otherwise circular shape, but, as noted by another viewer, this helps keep it in place.  I would have liked a little more padding on the grips, and perhaps I'll find that necessary as I move to more difficult exercises.  For now, though, this is sufficient.  Not a lot of bling in the looks or in additional material, but YouTube videos and the thoughtful design make this a winner. As always, consult your friendly health care professional before beginning a new program, so that you don't do something you shouldn't.

The inner leaf-shapes make a lovely organic pattern that demonstrates it cannot be machine made, so it gives it a quality look and says "this is hand made" even from afar. A nice thick cotton thread gives it weight and a solid feeling. The workmanship is good, but I would only give it 4 and not 5 stars for quality only because it has a handful of tie-offs (the thick thread means these are uneven spot where the knot is), and the circle is misshapen enough to kind of annoy me - I'm putting it on a rectangular table and think this would be much more noticeable on a circular table, unless the edges hang over. However, it is not a dealbreaker, just a learning experience - handmade circles are probably better with a bigger scallop or venetian border so you're not focused on form. I am keeping this to use on my 6-seat dining table as a centerpiece and for under a tray for tea or coffee service. PS - It looks amazing on top of denim for a lux-country look.

This is a beautiful book that reflects the simple, clean, peaceful atmosphere of modern design. It's inspirational with lots of ideas on creating wonderful living spaces.

Something about the simplicity of this classic design is so attractive and comforting to me. Melissa has turned this design on it's head in her book, exploring new ways to play with it. The book is split into four parts: Twists on Tradition, Modern Patchwork, Improvisational Piecing, and Appliqud Chains. So there is something for everyone!

This is a bit large and heavy, so be warned, measure first. The look is a bit rustic meet contemporary which I really like. This bookcase has two interior lights and an exterior extension outlet at the back. The lights and outlet appears to be on the same circuit and whatever is plugged in to the back is switched on and off with the lights which was a bit unexpected. This bookcase comes with built in shelves and two additional glass shelves that could be mounted to an adjustable height in the upper section of the bookcase. The feet gives it a nice offset from the floor to cater for cleaning. I would suggest bolting this to the wall if you have kids since it can tip over if not secured well, as with any furniture of this height and dimension. The mesh doors gives a nice old-time accent to the room. This piece of furniture definitely brings something to the room and it is built with excellent quality and care to guarantee a lifetime of use.

This is a really lovely addition to my son's room.  It hearkens back to simpler times, is well-made, and arrived promptly in perfect condition.  I love the idea of measuring him and having it be a wall-hanging in his room.  It comes with animal stickers with different ages on them to record when each measurement took place. I would consider it an excellent and original gift to give to new parents.

I wanted something functional and modern looking, and this fit the bill.  Assembly is simple and it's sturdy.  I'm very happy with this.

Love this set!  It has sort of a traditional look with a modern flair.  The accompanying pieces are perfect.  We supplemented the salad plates with some of the contemporary designs.  We also purchased the tapas plates.  Its a wonderful set!
