Reviews:

By J. DeYoung (Ohio):

Product works well, arrived on time, and is bright enough for reading and lighting the room. My wife wanted me to replace an older quartz tourchiere that was very hot. She was concerned about overheating and the possibility of fire. The flourescent lamp runs very cool, and puts out nearly an equivalent amount of light. Not to mention uses less electricity.

Corrugated Fireplace Each

Corrugated Fireplace Each

Reviews:
By JK (Dairyland):

Want a little ’60s nostalgia? This fireplace is it. Made entirely from corrugated cardboard, it comes in a box that becomes part of the fireplace. Assembly involves gingerly stacking wobbly cardboard parts, cutting a doorway where the “flames” go, then connecting the parts with plastic clips. Once put together, it can’t be moved or it will fall apart, but it is remarkably stable aside from that. Very cool, ultra retro. Not even slightly kid or dog proof. but that’s part of the fun. This was all the rage when I was about 5–everyone seemed to have a fake fireplace just like this one.

Dimplex Compact Electric Stove

Fireplaces once were the primary sources of heat for homes. Now they’re more closely associated with decorative, environmental atmosphere. Yet the visual appearance of a crackling fire seems to reduce stress and is considered to provide an aura for romance and intimacy. Most apartment dwellers are deprived of the positive, tranquil moods that are induced by fireplaces. Even those living in brownstones may have inoperable fireplaces. The Dimplex CS3311 is a safe, electric heater that resembles a portable fireplace. It can thermostatically heat a 10 foot by 12 foot room at up to 5,115 btu. Furthermore, this portable, compact unit has a simulated 3D fire simulation within a chamber to deliver the illusion of a natural, crackling fire. Now every home can experience the joy and soothing, spiritual enhancement that a fireplace can bring. With heat on/off settings, this fireplace can elevate moods anytime throughout the year. At approximately 23.5″ High x 20.3″ Wide x 13″ Deep, the Dimplex CS3311 is a freestanding, portable fireplace that can conveniently move from room to room. Electric powered, there are no fears of possible carbon monoxide fumes. Stable, and dependably safe, the CS3311 is the anywhere fireplace for everyone. When combined with a realistic flame effect and economical operation it’s easy to see why electric fireplaces offer the perfect solution to your supplementary heating needs. Besides, the appearance is so soothing that you’ll just love watching it while reading, knitting, PC’ing, alone or together with that special friend. Add a fireplace to your home. It’s a reasonably affordable major improvement to your state of living.

Playhut Thomas the Tank Train Engine Play Tent

10-Oct-08

Home Furniture

Young conductors will definitely be all aboard this twist and fold Thomas the Tank Engine tent. Featuring EZ Twist’s patented twist-and-fold technology, the tent sets up instantly and, when fully folded again, stores in a small included bag that’s no larger than a grocery sack. The only assembly (and it’s not even required) is to attach the inflatable steering wheel to Velcro toggles. Once the freestanding train is up, preschoolers and toddlers can place chairs inside to take them on imaginary rides around Sodor Island or dream up a slew of other creative play scenarios. Slip a sleeping bag inside the large (52″L x 26″W x 38″H) hideaway structure and kids can even extend their daytime adventures into naptime escapades.

The bright blue, red, yellow and black two-cube engine has a sunroof so little heads can look ahead for any dangers on the track, a tunnel port for crawling through, and swinging side door access for realistic play. The lightweight material and compact storage makes this tent very portable, allowing kids to take something familiar to new places — or the grandparent’s house.

Reviews:

By Louis Rios (Kansas City, MO USA):

We got this for our son at least four years ago, maybe five. Both our kids still play with it frequently. We misplaced the detachable smokestack somewhere along the way, but that’s no big deal. It’s held up suprisingly well considering the amount of playtime, and it nicely folds flat when it’s time to store it away again.

Strathwood Camano Wicker Sofa

10-Oct-08

Home Furniture

Strathwood produces a handsome collection of wicker furniture for outdoor use. Generous enough for two to curl up on, the seat of this mocha brown sofa measures 54-by-24 inches, and features an extra-thick, four-inch cushion. The body of the chair is tightly woven of flat strips of synthetic wicker, including the right-angled arms and straight back, with a modest sheen that sheds drizzle or drips. Block-wood legs and metal reinforcement under the seat provide increased durability and strength.

Adding finesse to the look and comfort of the armchair is the natural-white seat cushion. The 100 percent cotton cover unzips in the back to remove for cleaning, while the polyurethane foam insert retains its give and shape over time. The sofa looks particularly elegant in a sunroom or covered deck when grouped with the matching wicker lounge chairs and coffee table. No assembly is required.

Reviews:

By Ms. J. A. Wagstaff (Davis, USA):

This sofa is a complete bargain. It’s stylish in design and comfortable. The cushion is firm and supportive. The colour and texture of the all-weather wicker is fantastic. It’s strong, standing up to our kids, yet light and easy to move around. It arrived very promptly and I’m delighted.

I purchased both the left and right sectional sofa seat as well as the center seat to create my outdoor living space. The furniture is sturdy. Price is great as I have seen pieces of similar quality at a local retail store for much more. I am very pleased with the look and quality.

I ordered 4 of these chairs for my very casual dining area. They are lightweight but extremely sturdy, comfortable, and the seats are generously sized. There is no wobbling or feeling of looseness. The first thing that impressed me was opening the box, though, because the packing was some of the best I’ve ever seen… and I do a LOT of online shopping in every category.

These are great chairs. We ordered 4 of them (2 packs of 2) and one of the packs looked battered, and sure enough the chairs inside were slightly damaged. I was able to fix it with a little wood glue, though. They are very comfortable.
