Very nice looking; some functional defects

Very pretty watch, the girlfriend loved the gift. She wanted a classy looking skeleton, automatic watch, so it fit the bill perfectly.  The accents on the bezel work well and don't look cheap.  She has received many positive comments, including others who want one for themselves.

That being said, there are a few issues:

The clasp kept popping open (the watch doesn't fall off, it is just annoying), so I bent it ever so slightly.  Problem fixed.

I haven't owned an automatic watch before, so I can't compare, but it needs rewinding relatively often.  If she doesn't wear it for a day, it can stop working.  This is the most frustrating part for me, as I know it would drive me crazy if my watch stopped often.

Overall, good quality for the price. If you can afford something nicer, you should probably get it, but you won't be disappointed by this. I bought it because of the huge price difference between this and similar watches.

As with most other Reviewers, this Table is attractive, bargain-priced, and is solidly designed and constructed.  I would not agree that Assembly is "simple" as hinted somewhere.  The instructions are by small line drawings only, on less than one-half of an 8-1/2 x 11 Sheet.  I recommend reading them thoroughly both before and during assembly.  A Carpenter measures twice, and cuts once.

My Table arrived with 3 Dents in the Door which were finished (not scratched to bare Wood) and not very noticeable, so I chose to ignore them.  My Table is a Dark Cherry/Walnut color, and over all I am quite satisfied with it.

I strongly recommend reading & saving the Tips contained in the "Good Choice" Review by Inquisitive2 (Jan. 3, 2011) for a critical caveat about assembling the "Front Stretcher", Drawer Panel & Top.  I assembled the Table without help in about 30 minutes (a few extra needed just to fight with the Top & "Covers").

Assembly was not easy for me as it seemed for 2 reviewers (everyone else seemed to qualify ease of assembly), but it was "fairly" easy (having done a few of this type before) until I got to assembling the Top.  Doing the Top presents special challenges since you have to work "blind" (the other 3 sides & Bottom are in place, and with the Drawer Panel & Front Stretcher having to be installed BEFORE setting the Top), there is zero visibility and very, very cramped working space to secure both the Top Pegs & "Cam-Locks" that lock the Top down.

Finally, they supply 8 "Covers" to hide the Cam Locks - of which I was only able to successfully install 3 due to lack of visibility & working space (a fourth popped out after it was inserted).  I failed to get the other 4 inserted.  The problem is that the Covers need to precision-fitted into the Cam Locks Slots, and "it ain't easy" (at least not for me).

This is a very attractive switch plate, but I ordered and received two and both were defective.  I didn't bother returning either one.  The first one had a dark brown ring around the hole for the screw - the brass didn't go far enough.  When it was mounted, the dark ring showed around the screw.  I ordered a second one and this one has an area on the scrollwork where the brass is missing.

Hard to repair, otherwise it would be 5 stars

I ordered two of these tables (but not at the same time).  The tables arrived quicker than the estimated delivery date.  The color and finish look very nice and the glass feels pretty solid & sturdy. The assembly was easy, BUT the alignment of the screw holes on the legs and the small circular support did not match up properly at all.  I still managed to get them to attach and luckily the tables are not wobbly from the misalignment and you can't really notice if you're not looking for it.

As I mentioned, I didn't order the two tables at the same time.  The first one's screw alignment wasn't too bad which is why I ordered the second.  However, the second table's misalignment was much worse.  If I would have gotten the second table first I'm not sure I would have ordered another.

Really sturdy, nice looking and worth the money.

I dinged it one star for the following reasons:
- Mesh; It was very slightly damaged in 2-3 areas.
- Assembly; parts weren't completely and clearly labeled, and this made it a little difficult to put together.
- Total assembly time was about an hour.

Nice looking kettle, but has a number of defects (or at least mine did).

1.  Once the kettle heats, you cannot remove the lid because the handle/thermometer will not stay in the lid.
2.  Bottom of handle come off repeatedly
3.  Thermometer fogs up, defeating the point of the kettle.

I knew it seemed too good to be true.

This case is visually very nice and seems to be well made.  However, one of the features for which I bought it is that it could hold my credit card, debit card and license.  Disappointingly, once you put three cards into the three leather slots, the case no longer stays closed.  The magnetic closure is just long enough to reach the embedded counterpart when there are no cards in the slots, never mind trying to slip money into the larger pocket.  It's too bad that they didn't quality control this item before shipping it out.  I can't use it.

These sinks are beutiful to look at and nice 'n deep. Unfortunately the 3 units I received came with a manufacturing defect. The drains were off center, so that when you insert the faucet drains, they sit cocked at an angle and not square the way they're supposed to. The Decolav logo is not centered with the drains and since the drains sit cocked at an angle, a little bit of water collects on the rim of the stainless steel drains I installed. The problem is likely not due to a poor installation because I had a good plumber install my hardware and a master plumber redo all of the plumber's work to no avail. Both plumbers gave the same diagnosis and the defect was visibly evident. Even the drain pipe under the sink looks cocked.

I sent photos of the installed drains to the seller, who forwarded them to the manufacturer. I was provided with 3 replacement sinks with no request to return the defective ones. This helped a lot, but I haven't got the time or the funds at this time to undo all the plumbing connections and remove the sinks from the granite in order to repeat the entire installation process. Honestly, I haven't even opened the boxes of the replacement sinks to see if they're any better.

Despite the defect, the sinks still look beautiful, they're functional and I still like them. I think you can wash a baby in there! Great responsiveness from the seller and the manufacturer. I'll give 'em 4 stars for the above mentioned reasons.

Granted, when you finally get the legs threaded to the point where you can screw them all the way into the base, the stand is a nice looking and very functional solution to getting multiple monitors up where you can see them without straining your neck.  Definitely would have given it 5 stars if it shipped already assembled.

However, the frustration of having to correct such an obvious problem of improperly threaded legs for the stand is really inexcusable.  I had to get out my tap and die set to clean up the treads.  If you don't have that, I'd recommend putting a drop or two of machine oil on the threads and work them back and forth.  I was afraid I'd twist the leg off of the glass where it's glued on.

If they went to the same effort to machine the legs as they did to make sure you can't remove their logo from the glass, I would have given it 5 stars.  Once again, the finished product is nicely done - It's just that it would be so easy for the manufacturer to make this a pleasant experience to install.

I love the look of the item, and I imagine that in most cases, it is perfectly fine, but I have had an issue with mine.  I had it delivered to be given as a gift.  Then, the first time it was used, there must have been a hole in the stainless, or some kind of leak, because the entire area between the stainless and the clear exterior now has cocoa staining and there is no way to fix it.  Unfortunately the first time it was used was after the time-frame allowed to return the item due to defect.  Just be certain, if you order this, use it within the first few days you get it to make sure that you don't have the same issue I did.

Problem one: the top shelf of the table (the part that lifts up) arrived with 4 distinct cracks, each one several inches long.  I don't know if that was the fault of the packaging or the manufacturer, but I would really like to get a replacement piece since that is the most visible and functional piece of the whole table.
Overall it looks very nice (except for those cracks), but it's a little smaller than I expected, and the corners are SHARP and pointy! Our old coffee table was a similar style, but had very smooth rounded flat corners, which is good if you're clumsy like me and walk into things regularly.
But overall it's about what we expected, and if I can get a replacement top shelf, then I will upgrade my review to 4 stars instead of 3.

This monitor is very nice looking, and works very well with my setup. The only issue I found is the quality control within Amazon not seeing defects before sending this out. I will admin, this was a Warehouse Deal, but there shouldn't be, like there was with my monitor, pixels dead on arrival. And I might just be noticing new ones now that were always there, but it seems like pixels are dying constantly on it. They are pretty minor, and are really just annoyances since you only see them when the screen is white/grey (somewhat often on web pages, actually). I just wish quality control was better.

Item arrived on time and well packaged. However, it was defective. It has circle depressions through out the vinyl image... as if those areas were going to be trimmed or something heavy was on it for a prolonged period.  Aside from being defective, it looks really nice.

This is a really beautiful display case, but there are a few improvements that could be made to make it a five star product.  First off, one of the most important questions to address based on my experience in looking through many of these products is to confirm the flag case is big enough to hold a properly folded 5 ft x 9 1/2 ft cotton flag.  The flag fit just fine, but the bulk of it was pushing against the back, which would eventually lead to the small tabs holding the back on to break in no time.  I relieved this pressure with some black tape, which works fine since no one will see the back when displayed.

The inside mount is a piece of foam covered with a black fabric that will mesh with velcro.  The only thing I didn't like about this was the fabric seemed very loose.  This is probably not an issue if you are displaying items that don't weigh much, but if you are displaying things with any weight, I think the fabric is going to sag and not look very well.  A heavier fabric mounted more securely would be a great improvement.  Obviously there are ways to work around this, but it would be nice to not have to.

The first one of these I ordered arrived with a large chip in the finish at some of the joints of the flag display case.  I called the company directly and they seemed very easy to deal with.  Due to time constraints, I purchased another one directly from the company so they could ship immediately and am now in the process of returning the first one through Amazon.  The company promised they would inspect the second one prior to shipping, but it arrived with similar chips in the finish in the same areas. I suspect the finish doesn't bond well in these areas because of the joints, so I don't know how that can be improved?  In the end, I am just going to take a finish marker and touch it up, but I don't think that should have to be the solution.

As I said, the company seemed really easy to work with when I explained the problem, but the return process is still ongoing, so I will have to wait and see if it continues to go smoothly.

While attractive and easy to put together. It arrived obviously defective. When I screwed the top into the base the lamp ended up completely crooked. I re-screwed it several times and it still remained crooked. (see attached photo). I have emailed seller requesting a quality-control checked replacement. Otherwise, I like it.

This is a beautiful desk. Great glass work top, and sturdy base.

There are many issues, however.
-Packaging: The glass top was packaged well, but the rest were not. It was haphazardly thrown into a large flat box with a few styrofoam pieces thrown in. The shelf lip had come apart from the shelf because of the lack of packaging. I was able to repair it with glue and clamps. This desk was also missing crucial pieces. There was one foot missing, and one crucial metal thread insert. It's a part that should already be in the pedestal and not part of the hardware list. Since I am quite handy, I was able to find the metal threaded insert and a replacement foot (not matching, but functional) at a local hardware store.  The missing metal threaded insert would have made the desk worthless.

-Assembly: The directions are fairly straight forward. The parts are well made. I had to muscle the U-bars a bit to fit into the holes. I would suggest you put the U-bars in when you put the table top clamps on. That way you can put them on when the table top is on the floor and not swinging back and forth on the pedestals. It took me about 2 hours to put together minus the trip to the hardware store.

-Adjustability: It says it has height adjustability, but in reality it does not. If you chose to have the desk at it's lowest position, you have to give up the support the inner knob will provide. The inner knob only has one screw in position at it's maximum table height. Since I work at my desk with a severe slant: approx. 60-70 degrees. The bottom of the table is quite low. I use a regular chair or stool to sit at. It's not as high as you might think even at it's max. height. I may put blocks or casters under the feet to give me a few more inches.  Adjusting the slant is quite difficult since the table doesn't seem to want to stay square. There is a lot of resistance when moving the slant. You have to loosen both knobs before adjusting and re-tighten after. So, it's not one you can change quickly. Height change is the same way. You have to loosen 4 knobs to adjust.

I do plan on keeping the desk. It has an industrial look that I love and will serve my purposes. To recap: count your parts and check for damage. Studio designs does have a website to order missing parts. I have my order in for a new foot. We shall see how quickly they get back to me on that. The top seems to be sturdy. I can erase with acceptable amount of wiggle.
