Quality is a miss, but the price is a hit!

These shower fixtures are ubiquitous nearly everywhere people use showers! Yet, here they are only found in high end bath shops and sell for outrageous prices. In nearly all of my travels the only place I have not found these whether shabby or chic bathrooms is North America.

So, when I found this item at this price shipped from the States, I had to have it. The metal rail is not great, the tube isn't perfectly round and as such doesn't fit perfectly into the wall mounts (forgivable). The shower head adjuster (attached to the rail) is chrome painted plastic and the soap dish came in a different diameter than the rail itself (the soap dish came in the most common diameter whereas this rail is a super skinny tube - luckily my family abroad found one and sent it).

The shower hose is made of metal (finally!) and the showerhead is plastic. But the water runs through them so well and it feels like rain, rain you can place anywhere, not JUST your head! It's great for couples, tall man and short woman - perfect, elderly, no need to have the water hit you cold because it rains from so high! Great for kids so they can have their hair washed while they play. Literally perfect, I insist we all install these and have them available at a better price in the States. Aside from the soap dish issue, I love this product!

Nicely priced item but, in reality, it would be much better to spend a little more and get better quality.

Ratings at Bottom Page: PACKAGING, APPEARANCE, QUALITY and VALUE (bottom):

When I opened the box, I considered how I would perceive the packaging if someone gave it as a gift.  It was shipped by Amazon with the cup set box within a larger box with air pockets surrounding it on two of the four sides, probably why some recipients had broken cups.  The handles are a bit fragile as well.  They also had scratching on every mug bottom and each was dirty/dusty.  This really detracted from my value perception.

The outer box is a solid sky blue background and alternating colors of black or white pictures of with the British Royal Lion.  Writing on the exterior features "Set of 4 Printed Porcelain Mugs" stamped in black letters on four sides, while the top and front horizontal panel are marked "Francois et Mimi" in red lettering.  The box is somewhat flimsy in appearance and the mug separators is quite thin.  The cardboard looked recycled and worn, thus it didn't appear high-end as I expected since it's original list price was $49.95.  As of this writing, less than 2 weeks+ later, it is selling for $19.99, this seems fair enough in my opinion.  I would probably buy these for between $9.99 and $14.99, or if I was in a pinch to buy something quick, $19.99 might fly.

I liked the height of the mugs.  Unfortunately, as I examined each mug, I was disappointed that the shiny translucent overcoat was unevenly applied on each cup, thus there were areas that where it was flat white and sometimes scuffed in some places, opposite of the handle.  While it isn't the first thing I noticed, someone drinking from it probably would notice while sipping. Frankly, I've seen nicer glazed cups at the popular dollar stores for as little as $1.00 each.  Since I received this in return for an honest review, I can't complain.  However, if I had paid the $49.95, I would have returned it!  At $20., I'd probably decide to keep it, because the return shipping cost and trip to the Post Office wouldn't make it worth the hassle.

The design is cute but I am unsure why 3 of the cities chosen are part of the European Union and then there is New York, which just didn't make sense to me.  The only thing I could connect between the images due to the clothing and the Parisian on the old style bicycle, were were cultural centers in the prior to the 1920's~ era?  Why not feature Amsterdam instead, which has had many great artists of Venice with someone guiding a gondola? I thought each could use a bit more splash of color.  I prefer the New York man as he is quite dapper in his gold and black pinstripe suit.  In my opinion, Milan is most appealing because it features balloons and has the most color.  London is blah with a man in all black with a black umbrella (I haven't seen blue rain, so perhaps that  makes London unique enough to feature?).

To conclude, this is probably an acceptable gift for a housewarming or low-key office holiday party.  If the quality were more impressive, I might expect to see it selling a mid-range department store.  It is impersonal enough to appeal to either gender, it might make a nice gift for someone studying art or working in an artistic profession or having lived in one of these cities.  I tend to put more thought into my gifts and look for better quality.  I don't want to have someone to offer me a plastic smile when they open it and say, "oh, a mug set, thanks."  I want someone to say, "Wow, this is a COOL Mug Set, I LOVE the designs!  Thanks!"

I was going to buy this purse the other day when it was on sale for around $50. I added it to my cart and when I went to finalize the purchase the next day..,the price had increased again to $88!

I really do love this bag. And I actually purchased it a month ago... but ended up making the decision to return it because it is NOT a bag worth $88! (Even $50 was a little high.)  There's just no way I would pay $88 if I saw it in a store...So I guess I won't be re-purchasing this bag again afterall!

All in all- it's a cute bag and it is pretty good quality- but my HONEST recommendation would be not to spend the $88 on it. You can find something similar for WAY less!

I first wish to say that the price was awesome.  However, the quality is poor for me.  I can listen to music and it has a shortage in the line.  Also, when I have them in and I have a phone call, the other person says that they can barely hear me.  I won't send them back because for the price, I'll just count this as fluke.  You win some, you lose some.

Pretty good quality, considering the very low price!

Kinda spendy for what they are, but the quality is great.

Barbies can be fun. Sadly the quality of the accessories ( but also the dolls,furnitures,etc)is getting worse and worse by the year. These packages for the price contain usually only one item of clothing ( 1 shirt,1 jacket,1 cover up),which is hard for me to understand-seems the only reason: the company is getting cheap. The quality of the mass-produced pieces are lower and lower,they don`t last,they don`t always fit,and not alwys tasteful (cheap fabrics,unfinished hems,impossible to close velcro,and flashy but cheap looking colors/patterns/bling).
The 90`s Fashion Avenue is a great example,where the taste and quality soared for Barbies and owners. That line was much more educational, and also fun to play with or just collect. And those items are going for high prices still- keeping thier value :)
Lately  even the dolls lost their personality- lot of them has the same empty face in a different outfit.
Would be nice if Mattel finally would get back to the level,where this well established brand should be,intead of trashing it down.
People like to pay these not too friendly prices  for toys/collectibles what they can use for years!
The kids who are playing now will be parents soon!!!

The value of this item is under $10. It is not worth $26.99, and it would be crazy for me to pay that. I bought it as the main gift for a close family member under the assumption that it would be impressive. I bought it as a Black Friday deal, and paid about $10 for it, but I thought I would be getting a nice, $20 -  $25 valued gift, which was my budget. Even putting aside that the box it came in, which is pictured, came very scruffed up, more than what would have occurred through shipping, I opened the box up, and saw that it did not look like it cost me much at all. There was no filler in the box - it was the large box with the rack slid in, as well as the four skewers, and otherwise very, very empty. On the underside, the rack had some sort of product number printed in black -  not very subtle at all. I ended up scrambling for an extra gift to fluff up this one, so that it wouldn't like the giftee was receiving a cheap gift in comparison to everyone else. I'm not at all surprised that, as another reviewer said, this could be found at a Five Below or Big Lots for less than $10. The metal, weight, and edges all feel pretty cheap. But keeping in mind that this looks like one of those gifts, it still looks very functional, everything's there, and the guy I gave this to likes camping and s'mores and me so much that he was excited for it anyway when he saw the box. I'm hoping he enjoyed actually using it some day also, but I live with him and I haven't heard anything of it three months later. It IS a good price though, and I do think it's worth buying as a novelty item, but don't expect it to look great or be of particularly high quality. Will it do the job? Quite possibly.

I also paid the $16.90 for these - which was a good deal I thought. I got the blue, and had already planned on painting them white to match my shutters so I cannot attest to any paint problems - mine have 3 coats of outdoor glossy white paint. They did arrive broken and assembly was a nightmare; pieces didn't fit right and cracked easily when barely tightened. As the other reviewer stated, if you can get them for the cheaper price they're very nice. Over $25 - they're not so great a deal. You will be using glue, more screws, etc. to fix them up so be aware of that.

Oh, and I never got liners either. They do look great from the street, placed on each side of my front porch, though. Closer up....well, that's a different story!

The quality is not what I expected for something that was marked down from over $100. If I had paid what the original price was said to be I would have been very upset.

I have such high regard for Lodge products that buying things with their brand has become almost reflexive on my part. Until now, everything of theirs I've purchased has been of stellar quality and affordably priced. Not so in this case. Sure, they do the job - after all, they're angled correctly, so getting bits out of the corner of your skillets is going to be much easier. But the price makes this kind of meh. You get two small, easily lost pieces of plastic for about $8. No doubt I'll use mine and appreciate having them. But eventually they'll be lost and I doubt I'd want to spend another $8 to replace them. Lodge should think about tossing one of these in with each of their skillets instead.

Yes, it's inexpensive.  And, babies don't have the words to complain about low quality or too-trendy design.  Noboday keeps and re-uses baby items anyway; it seems as tho' in this Disposable World we use things for a year and then toss into the junk heap.  So, maybe you ought to buy Dwell Baby from Target...

But, I give it a one-star.  A co-worker had listed a bunch of DwellBaby things on her registry and before her shower, I was asked buy a group of co-workers to order presents on behalf of [our company].  I selected a number of items, including several Dwell pieces (such as this Circles Crib Set).  When they arrived, I was too embarrassed to give them to her and they were returned immediately.  Instead, our co-worker received a number of other requests that were on her list, such as some Kate Spade Baby and items instead and a few beautiful vintage pieces she had asked for, too.

Why no Dwell Baby?  The quality was simply dreadful.  Sandpapery and poorly constructed, I know this crib set costs less than $80 but it wasn't even worth half of that.

And the designs are trying too hard to be "cool..." but for "the masses."  Now, I definitely consider myself one of the masses, so this is no slam against we the people.  But, come on!  It's like when designers used to give plus-size women moo-moos to wear, thinking that they should just be greatful that they had anything at all.  Just because something doesn't have hearts and boys and flowers, doesn't mean it's modern!  The shapes (hello, asian-inspired branch... so popular in 2000-2005!) and colours might have been trendy a few years ago but now look tired.  That's one of the problems with trendy: you have to use them WHEN THEY'RE TRENDY, or then they suddenly look terribly dated and tired, just like this whole line.

So, I guess if you just want something cheap and don't care a. where it was made b. if the design looks as tho' it's trying to be "of the moment..." but the moment has long passed  c. that threads are pulling and it looks as tho' it will fall apart after 3 washes and the fabric is scratchy, then by all mean, go ahead.

Otherwise, I recommend that you look elsewhere.

About Quality:- Right out of box, you can feel that its not a $600 bed, every corner and part of this bed screams low quality and I know quality is relative. All parts of this bed look nicely upholstered in pics, but the cloth is some thin cheap quality and except for the headboard it feels as if somebody wrapped some cheap light weight ply-board in a cheaper linen-like cloth. I say this because I compare this to a $750 bed on Macy's which is more than double in quality and material vs this cheap piece. The headboard too is not solid and feels cheap, with the side wings nail trim being imperfectly finished, outwardly in some places and too deep in others, and is not quite straight down to the ground and somewhat wavy. For assembly, Screws, bolts and brackets are right to the number, but again, cheap quality, I spent 30 mins just trying to screw the brackets that connect the headboard leg and side wings, because its too small for the size of the bed and where the instruction manual shows it should be screwed. Bed easily slides and moves, despite more than fully tightening the side rails and headboard and foot board. It doesnt sit steady and with some heavy moves in the bed, the frame can tilt or slide sidewards. Lowest quality Slats, 5 in number, only 2.5 inches wide. I am expecting SLATs as this shows up under Platform Beds in Amazon. I don't know why they have been provided at all if they thought 5 narrow ones were sufficient, the product page describes 3 slats now. You have to spend $65-100 to buy slats and hardware to go with that or to add slats or box springs, which this product's details section conveniently doesn't mention. It took me 1.5 hours to assemble. I was also somewhat hard to screw the slat onto the side rail support strip due to a very narrow piece of wood attached to the side rail, where you need to screw the slat.

About Price:- After being utterly disappointed with overall quality and assembly, I looked online. I found upholstered beds at half the price which probably have better quality than this and are more convenient to assemble.  I trusted and just paid, but soon realized that the bed was being sold by other sellers on amazon almost $100 cheaper and almost every other furniture seller online had it for about $450.

All in all, its not worth the time or money, I cant take the hassle and time to dismantle it again and return.

Will post an update in a few weeks of use.

Update:- This is a piece of garbage, one of the slats broke 2 nights ago. I then paid a local handy man to $150, who got the slats, tools, hardware and 2 new brackets and fixed it. Its more steady than before, but there's no fixing the thin n cheap side rails, that keep shaking.

I bought this queen/full set along with the 9 piece crib set because we're incorporating our queen sized bed into the nursery. I paid a total of $36 (including shipping costs) at a popular auction site. This set is very cute, but cheaply made (loose threads, irregular stitching, not enough filling in the comforter) just like the 9 piece crib set. For $36, I think it's a great deal, but there's no way I'd pay $69 plus shipping- it's just not worth it. So my recommendation is go for it, but only if you can find it at a bargain price.

I love the quality of the replacement ear pad cushions for my Sennheiser cordless headphones. I have some issues with the headphones themselves, but I'm not 100% certain these pads are sold by Sennheiser directly....so I'll stick to the replacement pads: They seem to be built fairly well, but we are talking about a piece of foam that is attached to a small and simple piece of plastic. I would buy new replacement pads every few months for myself, and buy several sets for guests/family outside the home (to have their own, for cleanliness and propriety...people don't generally share earplugs....or even ear muffs....and these are worn much more often than the latter, and in many cases, more than the former), if not for the fact that they are nearly 20 dollars/set of the replacement ear pads. It's difficult for me to give more than 3 stars on a product I consider to be extremely overpriced. I'd be shocked if it cost even 2 dollars for them to have them produced and packaged. I will gladly alter my review if proved incorrect.
