The Antibes Collection looks fabulous.  If your home elevation is high, do not worry, high winds will not move this outdoor set.  The Antibes table and chairs are extremely heavy duty.  They do not rust, and they do not move with the elements. The natural colored seat cushions with persimmon design back pillows are a great choice.  The persimmon umbrella is also a fabulous a...

When we installed our cabinets we needed to attach the door handles, and the cabinets do not come with pre-drilled holes, you have to do that yourself.  To make the job easier we bought the Liberty Hardware door template at Menard's.This guide makes the job of getting hardware knobs and handles mounted evenly on every cabinet a breeze.  I have tried doing this task with a measurin...

I had been using the wii with wii sports for about a month now.  The basic box comes with the console, 1 regular controller and a nanchuck controller, infrared sensor, power cords and a five game wii sports compact disk.  The game includes, tennis, bowling, baseball, boxing and golf.  My favorite is tennis, you play starting with zero level and you gain points.  As your poin...

I purchased this loveseat for our outdoor patio and grill area. I wanted something similar to a sofa where guests could relax and feel comfortable. This collection is made of teak and a fiber that looks like wicker. It's really beautiful, and you could easily use it indoors as well as outside. The collection also offers chairs and a table, and I am definitely going to purchase more of these...

I thought I had used good towels before, but these towels are truly luxurious. I bought bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. I purchased mine in the store, but there is a wider range of colors online. The colors are actually arranged in color collections. The collections contain four variations of the same color. For example, the collection from which I made my selection was the Laven...

I purchased two silver accent lamps and one silver accent table lamp for use in my living room. I'd searched a long time for just the right lamps that would suit my tastes and my home. These lamps have simple yet, sophisticated lines. I should researched the size better since the table lamp really is too large for the current space it occupies. The accent lamps are the size I needed, t...

How many of us have gone for a ride in a wheelbarrow? I recall riding in one as a child. Those days are gone but not my need for a wheelbarrow. Gardening is a passion of mine and I am constantly adding new plants, adding new dirt, etc. Instead of lugging the various items by hand, my wheelbarrow makes my work a lot lighter and easier. This wheelbarrow provides the individual with unsurpassed ha...

I really had not considered writing a review on this  product, but last night I changed my mind. I arrived home from the long weekend and was preparing to get my household back in order. But, my plans went awry when thunderstorms rolled across the area. One loud BOOM! and my power was out. What to do? It was dark outside because of the clouds and my apartment has few windows. I n...

The colors look very nice on the wall.This is a great no drip paint. Its very easy to use and I have also painted the doors with it.I would  buy this paint for any other interior painting that we need to do! I bought it in qu...

When we were wallpapering the rooms, I always found it almost impossible to find a cover for the sockets on the wall, that would match. These paper-it wallplates solved that problem. I was able to find both the switch plates and socket plate covers. The hidden screw design was also a plus. They come in a clear plastic form, and all you do is separate the front piece from the back. Place yo...

I have always used Bher paint when painting the rooms of my house. Recently I moved to a place where Ace hardware was by far closer than anywhere I could get Bher paint from. I decided to try Ace paint because it was going to be so much simpler to get more paint if I ran out here than driving a half hour. I started with the economy version of Ace paint and it was just OK. I missed my other pain...

Want something powerful yet compact to clean your car or van? This is the product for you then. I use this Black & Decker Car Vaccum in my van. I have a 12 volt outlet in the back of my van that I plug it into. I like the fact that I don't have to drag out a long extension cord to use with a corded vaccum when it's time to clean the van. I simply plug this i...

I am not a big fan of Lowe's, or The Home Depot. As it so often happens, their specialists are either not there, when you need a question answered, or they might be making it up, on the spot. With that said and done, I shop these home improvement stores, because the prices are generally cheaper than going to a hardware store, for the larger ticket items.A few months ago, I purchased the De ...

If you bought the Apple TV when it originally came out and felt let down at the amount of features for the price you paid, the new version will erase any frustrations or limitations that the first version presented you with... because well, how do I say this? Its awesome. The new and improved Apple TV provides us with: - A new organizational platform (easier to find things you want)  - The...

While I was visiting relatives in cold Colorado, I could never keep my feet warm!  The relative I was visiting doesn't allow shoes to be worn inside, and my socks were not keeping my feet warm at all.  On a quick trip to a mall, I visited Restoration Hardware and discovered the Foot Duvet!  We don't have a Restoration Hardware in the area I live in so I thought it was an ...

I've been in the construction business for several years now, and from time to time you find you need to replace those old saws that have more than paid for themselves with newer versions of the same brand just for the added features... I was useing the same Makita circular saw...(or skill saw as some people call them), for over 10 years, when the cord was accidentally c...

I use this Sony 19" monitor at work and love it. Previously I had a 14" monitor so you can imagine the difference when I got this one.The screen size is perfect for me and makes doing my work a lot easier. Gee don't know if thats such a good idea. LOL. The resolution on this Sony is fantastic and I have not had one problem with it. I have been using this monitor for about 3 years ...

I take a lot of photos and I always had the bad habit of loading them n my laptop and not backing them. My laptop is starting to get old and has minor problems sometimes. I have always been worried that someday it will just not start and I will lose everything not backed. My husband bought me this small external hard drive because he knew I would be heartbroken if that ever happened. This last ...

   As a replacement to my rapidly aging FX 5200, I bought this much more appealing 6600GT! This card was a real performer when I bought it, running Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 at high settings with stable framerates. This card was a beast at the time, really. It performed well for me even a year or two after, when FEAR was released.   As the card has aged and game developers appl...

Corsair has long since been known as one of the ultimate makers of memory for gamers, and there is a good reason why. I purchased 4 GB (2 pairs of matched 1GB sticks) of the Corsair XMS2 800Mhz memory to replace my old 4GB of PNY 667.While overclocking, to my surprise the voltages did not need to be raised to allow for higher clocks, and heat was not an issue. This memory has worked flawlessly ...
