More decorative than useful

Being stainless steel, I bought this for a more decorative use for my kitchen. I have a more heavy duty white one that I actually use.

I was surprised at how thin the copper wire is. It's not much thicker than a toothpick. It makes it a little difficult stringing it out because it's so fragile.

The lights are strictly for aesthetics, and they really are adorable for that purpose, but they're not for actually illuminating an area. We bought the item to put along an elevated walkway so that a person could see his way in the dark.  These lights are not designed for that purpose. So we'll likely buy something else.

These are pretty, but, you can't stack them and hang them up as a set. You can only stack them and put them on a shelf because the handles don't line up with the hanging holes.

These look much nicer here than they do when you get them. They won't hold up in the weather outside. Mostly decorative.

There are some cute ideas in this book if you're doing these as gifts, but unless you also plan to provide a separate, organized printout of the recipes, these are not practical for use in the kitchen as cookbooks due to all of the things glued onto the pages.

Also, there was no information on proper preservation or safe reproduction of these old original recipe cards/scraps of paper--remember, they may have food stains that might transfer to the rest of the scrapbook paper if you include them in the original scrapbook.

Again, cute ideas, but not as practical as say, offering to organize someone's recipe collection as a gift.

Hard to replace bulbs and clean inside because the screws are located in hard-to-manuever spots. Looks nice, but not practical.

use less as a insect zapper, but good as a decorative item!

The fan is very pretty, but not quite as striking as it is in the photo. It's also a little on the flimsy side, so it's best used fr decoration only. It does look very nice on the shelf, though.

This ended up being bulky, heavy, awkwardly shaped (bows outward more than is apparent in the photo.)

In general, I want tissues to blend into the background, not stand out.  This stands out.

It was a mistake for me, but was realistically too heavy to bother returning.

That said, some people may like it for their decor.  There is nothing inherently flawed about the product.  It just wasn't quite what I expected.

While this is a cute tin box (and I used it to hold mini-muffins at at baby shower), it isn't meant to be used.  Would look cute as a decoration in a baby's room or to hold all those crayon's for an older child.

This bookend is high on style, and if I were giving it a review based only on how it looks, I'd certainly give it a 5.  Unfortunately, I purchased it for its utility as well, and on that front it's a bit off.  It takes up a ton of space, making it difficult to use on many bookshelves, so it's just not nearly as useful as I hoped.  That being said, if you want it to do a little useful work and a lot of decorative work, it's worth every penny.

I have other Butterfly Meadow items (bowls of different sizes), and they seem to be thinner, more delicate and more elegant than this dish.  I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful -- but it is not as dainty as the bowls, and it's a disappointment.

The other complaint I have is the same as I have with Butterfly Meadow plates (which is why I'm not buying them) -- the pretty pictures of flowers and butterflies are in the middle (in the bottom) so they get covered by food.  It makes no sense.  The designer wasn't thinking straight.  For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used  (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table).

The knobs are pretty and look just as posted. Only problem is, they should be used where they won't get much use. More of a decoration than for use. They don't stay tight on the cabinet drawers and some of the backs pull away from the glass part of knob and have to be glued.

First of all, this thing is really heavy. Each piece is solid - be sure to pick out the spot you want it in first before assembling it, otherwise it's going to be a nightmare to move.

It's a very clean-looking, bright white and it rotates completely. It's cute for providing a slightly different look to your room, though I see it as being more practical for a child's room than for mine. A child could, for example, tape up art to the sides that have blank, empty space - you can't really nail art or anything to the bookcase (the tip of the nail would protrude into the shelf area).

It also takes up far more space than I feel like it is portrayed as saving. You don't get any more shelf space but instead of a shelving unit up against the wall, this has to protrude out into a space that allows it to turn. It's a neat, novelty idea but I feel it's impractical.

All in all it's OK - but I wouldn't choose this over a standard bookcase.

Pretty, lightweight but it does not give the privacy shield I was hoping. There is a 1/2 inch gap between panels where the hinges are, allowing one to see into the space beyond. This means it is not a good room divider. Additionally, you cannot straighten it out in order to lessen the gaps as it makes it unstable and easily topples over. I have carpet so standing on it, it seems that a small breeze will send it over and will need something to keep in place. For the money it cost I was hoping for something sturdier and not so see through. It is pretty and decorative, but useless to me. Delivery seemed a problem too but it came in good shape, no tears or scratches. I will ask my roommate first,  but I think it's going to be returned.

Got these for decorative purposes and I'm so glad I did.  These are adorable!!  They aren't very functional in the way of holding paper as they are small. but as I said, I got these for decorative purposes.  Did not expect them to be very functional anyway.

Not strong enough for protection, but good for decoration.
