wouldn't say "barely has spines", but overall  great purchase

My Prickly Pear Pad arrived fast. The pad I received is very healthy-looking; although I wish instead of cutting the pad off the original plant, that the seller would have just twisted It off so it would cure faster.  The pad I received didn't have long spines but it  had little sticker- like spines that could easily get stuck in your fingers if you're not careful. The seller said in the product description that this type of cactus barely has spines compared to other cactus types. This cactus  pad I received looks like the large spines had been trimmed off to look like it had barely any  spines  or to look like  that in the photos. We will see when my Cactus pad starts to shootout more pads if this Cactus pad truly does have barely any spines. Other than the fact  that the seller cut the cactus instead of twisting it off and the fact that the spines look like they're going to be larger than described in the product description, this product is okay. I'm happy that the pad I received is 10 to 12 inches in length and am excited to grow it, I just hope that the cactus I grow will have barely any spines. I have little ones that come to visit me and I don't want their hands to be pierced by Giant spines.

I'll just assume that you are familiar with this incarnation of The Doctor and skip the review to go straight to the box set.
First off, the tightness of the DVD sleeves.  The DVD's are definitely snug in their spaces but we have had no issues getting them out or the sleeves being so tight that they scratch.  It is tight though, so I can easily imagine where some of the reviews focusing on that are coming from.
The quality of the "book" (we'll call it) is decent.  I was a bit surprised to see some creases near the binding for a new product but it wasn't bad enough to effect the overall appearance.  The pages are a wonder to look at with stills from the different series' framed and put to a kind of collage.  The episode index is also incorporated into these pages and the result is a very pleasing book to look through and reference.  I've spent a bit of time just looking through the book without even intending to watch anything.
The quality of the construction seems like it might easily get damaged.  It's definitely not a real book binding, this is something that could easily show some wear and tear if not treated with kid gloves.
Concerning the DVD quality, we've only watched a couple of discs but they were great.  It wasn't like a low budget version of the "real" series if you bought them individually.

Overall this is an incredible addition to any Dr. Who collection.  We already owned the Tennant specials but went ahead and got this anyway.  The cost is ridiculously low compared to if you bought all these separately. In fact it's a bit suspicious, but I'm not complaining.

I highly recommend this product

this is all i need for now, but my daughter is 4 months and being a speech therapist, i know how much reading matters. right now i already have more books than this can hold, but its still a great addition to a bedroom. too much pink for boys room (if you care about that stuff) but blue isn't a big deal for a girls room (if that makes sense). Also its great and sturdy but the books don't stand up perfectly straight. they kind of go inwards if they are tall so you can't see the name of them...but overall great buy for the price

Good quality, personally a little pricey, but overall a good purchase

The box that this was delivered in was heavy, but packed really well. There were 2 spots that were chipped, but you can't see them, so it's not a problem.
The instructions say the assembly will take 30 minutes, which is laughable, really. It took me and my husband about 1.5 hours or so. It does include an adorable hand screw. But we opted for a power drill instead. Be careful when screwing in the magnets for the doors to close, they can get stripped fairly easily. We have 2 that got stripped. The doors still open and close great.
The shelves cannot hold school books or bibders, but a book for leisure reading would fit for sure! I'm happy with the purchase overall!

For the price, I feel like this is a really good buy.  It feels sturdy, is the right height for my couch ( a lot of tables in the lower price-range were fairly short), and looks more expensive than it is.

I gave it 4 stars for two reasons:
 1.  There was one small chip on one edge (very small).  I simply used a permanent marker to cover it up, and you really can't tell unless you know to look for it.

 2.  I had to connect one leg about a quarter of an inch away from where it was supposed to be mounted because the bottom shelf would not fit at first.  Again, not noticeable unless you were the one who assembled it.

So in summary, a great table if you are willing to overlook some very minor quality control issues.

Well, this won't win any interior design awards, and it looks kinda awkward standing tall and narrow--with a micro-wave (or in my case an all-in-one printer), but it does its job well. Not too difficult to assemble--with some help. The sliding shelf is terrific, and the wood top fits in real nice and snug, and cleans up easily. I don't think I'd put anything real hot on it for any length of time, though.
It comes with casters but, frankly, I think that makes this too unbalanced and a little wobbly (but not much). So skip the wheels, if you can. But if you do put them on, be warned that only two wheels have locks, so before you put them in (and load everything on top) make sure those locking casters on the side you want (I goofed, here). For me, it was a good buy. Hope this helped you decide.

If you're looking for a small, inexpensive - yet sturdy bookshelf, this is a great purchase.
I needed a small bookshelf where I could put video games/movies/books in a media center area in my house. I ended up purchasing two of these so I could maintain symmetry in my room - but that isn't relevant.
This bookshelf is very easy to put together (it obviously comes disassembled), you only need a hammer and a screwdriver. I'm not handy, and it was even easy for me to assemble! The shelves are adjustable, so you can customize the height of the shelves to your needs.
The shelf doesn't look cheap and feels sturdy; there is a good weight to the product. In addition, the depth of the shelves is excellent. I included a picture that shows my VHS movies stacked two deep without any space issues (yes, I've kept all my VHSs...).
I'm inclined to purchase a few more of these for my sons' rooms/books.

Not as vivid as the picture, but still a great buy. The back of the pillowcase is burlap (wasn't expecting that) but overall good purchase.

I actually really like this chair. Im not sure if its just the way the picture looked to me, or my eyes perceive blues differently, but this is very much a light teal, not so much light blue (the pictures definitely make it seem more blue than it is). That is the only reason Ive given it four stars. However, assembly was a breeze and it arrived to me in perfect condition. The back seam is really not as crazy as people made it sound. You can easily make this a center-of-the-room kind of chair and not get weird comments about the back. Or you can just throw a pretty blanket over it. All in all, Im satisfied with my purchase.

We bought this piece to streamline the look of our living room and I believe it's done just that.  It has a modern/classic look and LOTS of storage room.  So far we stored our DVD collection (~100 dvds) and the VHS's we're holding on to (~30), plus a few other random pieces (extra remotes, screen cleaning supplies etc) and there's still a TON of room for addition.  For us, this was a great buy.  BEWARE however, if you are not so handy (like my wonderful husband is) this takes ALOT of do it yourself, put together the million little pieces they send you in the box.  I suspect that it would be easy to come out with the doors looking lopsided etc if the construction isn't done perfectly.  Also, the design is slightly flawed in that there are obvious screws showing on the side where the shelves are held in place.  Not a big deal-breaker for me, but thought I'd let you know.

Overall pleased with the quality; there were no chips or scratches and only negligible blemishes (a few small sections of one of the chair legs had thin staining), but it's not noticeable unless you're really looking for it. However, some of the chairs are a little wobbly when unoccupied. I was expecting a little more uniformity in the parts.

Assembly was straightforward, and my only complaint is that some of the bolts would not go in all the way (yes, I used all the correct sizes). I'm guessing it's due to the slight variation in straightness / size of the parts; I did try to wrestle it around a bit, but ultimately there were some bolts that just would not go in all the way. Minor annoyance.

The chairs are comfortable and the set in general is beautiful. I would attach a photo but it truly looks just as nice as the advertised photo, so there's no point.

NOTE: The height of this table is listed as 38", but I measure about 30.5". Beware if this is an important factor for you.

The packaging was a little rough, but overall a good purchase.

I was searching for a relatively small bookcase (that would still hold a lot) for a small corner in my apartment. I read a ton of the reviews here and decided to go with the Winsome Wood Leaning Shelf and I'm glad I did. As others forewarned, there isn't an instruction set, but through a bit of trial and error, I was able to quickly put this thing together by myself.

Quick tips:
1) Take a picture or keep the box handy as the photo on top will be your instruction guide
2) Lay the legs out and figure out which is right/left - quick hint is that the bottom of the legs are angled and the tops are not
3) Take the angled short wood and connect the legs on the bottom; take the short straighter piece of wood and connect the legs on top (screw these in tightly)
4) Starting with the top shelf, slide and screw in the first three shelves
4a) (optional): add some felt stickers or something to the back of the top shelf so it doesn't scuff the wall
5) (Especially If you're doing this by yourself): With only the top 3 shelves in, stand the bookcase up against the wall where you want it. Then pop in the remaining 2 shelves and screw those in.

Voila. Done. Good quality, pretty solid and great for the price.

This chair is a bit of a splurge, but between the backpack straps, the insulated pocket on the back and the cup/cell holders its worth it!  I wish that the chair folded up a bit easier, but overall very happy with the purchase.

This bookshelf looks great and seems sturdy. My daughter is only 8 months, so most of her books are board books. I rolled up some receiving blankets and put them in the bottom two pouches so that the board books could sit on top of them and be visible, and it worked really well. I like the canvas fabric of this product and I'm glad I chose it over the other vinyl ones I have seen for sale.

I wanted to write this review because of all of the reviews saying that the shelf was crooked when put together. The assembly is more difficult than I expected. Basically, the rods are wood and they have only a pilot hole drilled into them, so you have to really use some force to screw the screws into them. Some of the holes weren't in the exact middle of the rods, but on ours it turned out fine and the shelf looks great. I'm sure there are some that come out crooked, but I wanted to show that that is not always the case. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I use these binders for nothing but disks; that is, no liner notes, no album covers, just disks.  Each binder holds plastic pages with pockets that hold 4 disks, 2 on each side.  I have about 80 disks per binder.  You can easily put in 15 full pages for a total of 70 disks, but I also managed to fit 2 disks in a single pocket at times, making the total about 80 disks in 15 pages per binder.  Some people won't want to do that because of potential scratching, of course.  I found that 3 binders with one set of refill pages was the perfect amount to fill them all nicely without bulging.  Because it's a ringed notebook, it's easy to insert more pages for organization.  It works just like a 3-ring notebook.  Alphabetizing was really easy, and the flaps on the pockets over the disks helps keep dust off.  There is enough room at the top of the pocket so you can take the disk out without touching the surface, although it is more difficult to pull it out by the edges.

The notebooks are durable but there was some cheapness of quality that I wasn't pleased with.  There are some metal frame-shaped bits on the spine for adding labels to the notebooks, and while they have the appearance of being bolted on, they are just glued on. Two of these were loose on one corner when I received them.  One had some of the cardboard label stuck inside it and would not come out for anything, so it's a very sloppy look to have a ripped bit of paper stuck on the spine.  Also, the raised parts of the spine were rubbed bare from shipping.  From a distance, these look great, but up close you notice the flaws and they do look a little sloppy.

I would have preferred a plainer spine, something flat like a 3-ring notebook, but this was the best buy for the type of storage I could find, and I'm ultimately glad I got these.  As I have to store these on a top shelf, the last thing I wanted was a heavy storage system, and these are compact and light enough for me to get on and off a high shelf easily.
