*Please note that the best time to visit would be the second 2 weeks of March, and the first 2 weeks of April.
Welcome to Japan!
An English speaking assistant will meet and assist you on arrival at the airport and take you to meet your driver and waiting car.
Meet your driver for an airport transfer with a private vehicle.
Today your guide will take you to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Take a few hours to wander through this enormous market, exploring both the vegetable and fruit areas plus the impressive seafood section. On offer in the seafood section are more than 480 different kinds of seafood ranging from fresh fish to shellfish and prawns. There may also be an opportunity to see a complete tuna being cut and filleted. After buying various ingredients you will have the opportunity to visit a typical Japanese home. Your guide will answer any and all questions about Japanese culture and everyday life in Tokyo during the transfer by public transportation. Learn to prepare "maki sushi" (rolled sushi), "gunkan maki" (sushi rice wrapped with a strip of seaweed and topped with soft ingredients), and "nigiri sushi" (sushi rice topped with a slice of raw fish). You will then get to enjoy your homemade sushi for lunch. End the tour in central Tokyo. Please note that with this tour you will have a private guide, but rather than travelling by private vehicle, you will make use of Tokyo's efficient local transit system.
Take a day tour of this fascinating city with a local guide. Start the day with a stroll through the nearby Hamarikyu garden, an Edo Period Japanese garden surrounded by the Shiodome district's futuristic skyscrapers. After stopping for a cup of steaming macha in a tea house on a small island in the park's lake, take a boat cruise on the Sumida River passing under 12 bridges – in many sections, the river is lined with cherry blossom trees. Disembark in Asakusa, Tokyo's old town where you can soak in the atmosphere of old Tokyo. Visit Sensoji, Tokyo's oldest temple and wander down Nakamise, a shopping street that has been providing temple visitors with a variety of traditional, local snacks and tourist souvenirs for centuries. For lunch, you will have a hanami – a picnic under the cherry blossom trees in Ueno Park, Tokyo's most famous cherry blossoming viewing spot, home to over 1,000 cherry blossom trees. In the afternoon head across town to Meiji Shrine, a shrine dedicated to the deified spirit of Emperor Meiji and a popular place for traditional Japanese weddings. Finish the day with a walk though nearby Yoyogi Park, where over 600 cherry trees are planted.
You will be transferred between the train station and your hotel, using a local taxi with the assistance of an English speaking guide.
Transfer by train from Tokyo to Kyoto. The train ride is approximately 2.5 hours.
The Granvia Kyoto is located directly above the Japan Rail train station. After exiting your train, please follow the below instructions to reach your hotel. This is a very short walk, and done easily on your own, so no guide service has been included.
When using the Shinkansen bullet train: Exit via the Shinkansen Main Exit, turn right and walk straight through Nanboku-Jiyu-Tsuro (North-to-South main corridor) until you reach the escalator to the hotel entrance on your right.
When using the Haruka Express from Kansai International Airport: Exit via the JR Chuo Main Exit and take the escalator on your right to the Lobby on the 2nd floor of the hotel.
Transfer from your hotel to Nara by train (45 minutes) with a local guide. For 74 years during the 8th century Nara was Japan's capital and many of the temples and shrines built at that time still remain. Visit Todaiji temple, the world's largest wooden building and home to Japan's largest Buddha. Next stop is Nara's most celebrated shrine, Kasuga Taisha, established in 768 AD and famous for its hundreds of bronze and stone lanterns which have been donated by worshipers. Take a wander through Nara Park, called Deer park by locals due to the large population of more than 1,000 tame deer living there. On the way back from Nara, visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, which was used in the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha". It is home to over 10,000 red tori gates, which form a path up the mountain behind the temple. After visiting the shrine, quench your thirst at a sake brewery. During a tour of the brewery you will learn about the traditional brewing process, and then sample the different types of their sake.
The Philosopher's Path is a pleasant stone path through the northern part of Kyoto's Higashiyama district. The path follows a canal which is lined by hundreds of cherry trees. Approximately two kilometres long, the path begins around Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and ends in the neighbourhood of Nanzenji. There are many small temples and shrines to stop off along the walk. Arashiyama, is a pleasant district in the western outskirts of Kyoto. The area has been a popular destination since the Heian Period (794-1185), when nobles would enjoy its natural setting. Okochi Mountain Villa is the former villa of the popular samurai film star Okochi Denjiro (1896-1962), and consists of several beautiful gardens and buildings, including living quarters, tea houses, and a Zen meditation hall. Here you will enjoy some matcha green tea with a snack. Next, take a walk through Arashiyama's famous bamboo groves. The bamboo has been used to manufacture various products, such as baskets, cups, boxes, and mats at local workshops for centuries. Nonomiya shrine is a Shinto shrine where in ancient times, unmarried imperial princesses stayed for a year or more to purify themselves. Ranked among Kyoto's five great Zen temples, Tenryuji is the largest and most impressive temple in Arashiyama. Founded in 1339 at the beginning of the Muromachi Period (1338-1573), the temple is one of Kyoto's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In addition to its temple buildings, there are attractive gardens with walking paths.
Park Hotel Tokyo is ideally situated in Shiodome, a flourishing center of business and culture.

"I have to admit, this was the BEST vacation I ever had. The tour was nothing less than Fantastic! The hotels were great, the guides were great, the transportation was great, the places were great, the people were great, the food was great and last but not least China, itself was out of this world. I'm so glad I booked this tour and would recommend this to anyone. Thanks so much for all your help, your interest and your recommendations. Steve in China was so attentive, he called constantly to make sure everything was fine. We really had a fabulous time and even my jaded husband who normally only seems to care about where the nearest golf course is, was impressed and had a wonderful time.
Thanks again, and unto the next vacation (although I don't know how we would top this one!!)

"The tour was absolutely fabulous. It all started with the planning. Kathryn graciously accommodated our tight schedule and multiple needs, including a mid-trip change in plans. The tour guides and drivers were all great and extremely knowledgeable. The accommodations and meals were fantastic. I was apprehensive about going to China not knowing the language but it worked out great!"

"We just returned on Monday from our wonderful trip to South Korea, Bangkok and Phuket. I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work in planning our tours and adventures. Everything was spot on, from our arrivals at the airports, to the guides and the tours. I would not hesitate to recommend you and your company. It was truly a wonderful vacation. Thank you again.

"I wanted to let you know that our trip to China was great! Everybody enjoyed themselves. When planning a trip I am always concerned about the itinerary, the vehicles and the guides. All 3 of these were great. The guides were particularly good and in this case really made the trip a pleasure. Overall a great trip. Thanks for all you did."

"We just returned from our thailand/cambodia trip. It was fantastic. You did a great job. The guides were excellent as was the drivers. We loved the Victoria Hotel you selected in Siem. Wish we had more time. Thailand met our expectations but our expectations for Cambodia were low and they exceeded them. Loved the places selected for the included lunches. Certainly would use Kensington again"

"Thank you for arranging our guided trip to Thailand - Vietnam. It was a memorable, and pleasant trip - a 1st for us with Kensington tours and a most enjoyable one. We found that we were able to maximize our visit of the the area without the concern of booking hotels, airline, finding parking and understanding the local language. "

"Alexis helped us fit in all of the sites we wanted to see on our trip to Thailand and Cambodia, and suggested some more. It was valuable talking with someone who had been there and done that. The planning went pretty smoothly, and so did the trip. The local guides were all top-notch! "

"I highly recommend Kesington Tours. The planning of our trip to Cambodia was outstanding. Our advisor Alexis Mayer was unbelievably patient, knowledgeable and responsive. We planned the trip in every possible detail and Alexis was extraordinary during the whole process. Once we were in Cambodia, we had a tiny issue with the car. I was able to get in contact with Alexis right away and the problem was instantly solved. The trip itself was fantastic. Everything was very well planned and perfectly organized. The local guides and drivers were great. The hotels were very well chosen.
Great trip. I would definitely travel again with Kensington Tours."

I buy as local as possible and as organic as possible. Being on a first name basis with the butcher/farmer/etc. is much better than grabbing stuff out of a refrigerated case for me. I prefer rolling farmland to strip malls, anyway. I can afford it so I do my part.double said:With these budgets are you buying organic, grassfed etc etc? Very interesting to see this.

The vibrant colors, minimalist aesthetic and mid-century modernist design are definitive southern California influences to both of their art practices.

China is Infiniti's second-largest market, so important to the brand that it is building its global headquarters in Hong Kong. Infiniti will also adapt to the local tastes in another way this year when it offers an M37 sedan variant that's stretched by 150 millimeters for the Chinese market.
By now the Chinese preference for extended-wheelbase vehicles is well known, Audi's A6L having left a trail of money that the BMW 5Li, Mercedes-Benz E300L and Volvo S80L were quick to follow. The longer Infiniti M will go up against that bunch. Unlike its competitors, however, the M isn't built in China, so even though it helped Infiniti nearly double its sales there last year, some suggest the price disparity will handicap its chances.
We'll know the specifics once the extended-wheelbase M debuts at the Beijing Auto Show in April. A hybrid version is expected to follow after the first model goes on sale in June.

This extraordinary farmhouse has a distinctive U-shaped structure, with the house built around a central patio. The interior was tastefully restored in 2004 with the aim of maintaining the original features of the property. The wood beamed ceilings, as well as the terracotta floors, have been carefully preserved. Lambertino is one of the most beautiful farmhouses on the Argiano estate, and it belongs to the same family that owns the Castle. The spacious rooms conserve their original vaults, which perfectly blend with the interiors' elegant furnishing, rich with antique pieces taken from the castle. The views from the farmhouse extend beyond the famous Montalcino vineyards, all the way to Mount Amiata. Because of the structure of this property, two families or two groups of adults may share Lambertino with each maintaining their privacy. The resident staff live in a separate apartment at the rear of the farmhouse, and are available to cook for the guests. The Castle of Argiano is one of the most famous wine producers of the Montalcino area, and tours of the winery are available for Lambertino guests. The exceptionally big swimming pool (14 x 7) is placed in a panoramic position, in the well kept garden. DISTANES: Montalcino (nearest village with shops, PO) is 12kms, Siena is 60kms and Grosseto (coast) is 50kms. A chef, heating and telephone available for an additional charge. There is deposit upon check-in of ?250 for the telephone. Extra maid service is ?13 per hour. All of these 'a la carte" services are paid locally with Euros and subject to change.

It seems like it has been more then two years since we have had a full length Planet Asia album, but it hasn't. This critic never got into the flow of the Planet Asia and DJ Muggs' Pain Language and it always seemed as if they were just trying to recreate something they did before. So while the prospect of another Planet Asia album was exciting, knowing it was a crew compilation album left some hesitation.
This collaboration project for Planet Asia and his Gold Chain Military crew, Chain of Command, features two other lyricists from Fresno, two from Los Angeles and two more representing Brooklyn. The album features a cast of more well known producers like The Alchemist, Large Professor, and Evidence and DJ Babu of Dilated Peoples.
The album starts off with a grimy feel of early 90's production with a mix of lyricists giving there best to create the feel of a "we-against-the-world, going-to-war" mentality. The lyrics seem fresh and the General, as they call him throughout the album, Planet Asia is often one of the first to spit. Over the first couple tracks the production sounds like a raw version of a early Mobb Deep album, with that New York type of grittiness that makes the listener really want to move their head. The members of GCM each spit some creative verses that will have the listener following along, flirting with moments of greatness.
While the flow of the album starts off in a good direction, the album starts to lean heavily on it's production, as the lyricists start to mellow and not continue the heat they brought throughout the first five to six tracks. After a while listening to the lyrics, you are awaiting punch lines that just didn't seem to come. At couple points throughout the album, the emcees were spitting over one another in the transitions making it impossible to understand what either one was saying. The lyrics started to get a bit forced and by the end of each track, and nothing special seemed to be standing out. By the end of the album, one can only hang around merely to hear Planet Asia spit.
While parts of the album are enjoyable, lyrically it seemed to get stale, and it was clear the production was what to listen for. All in all, Chain of Command is somewhat of a disappointment, with crushed hopes of hearing some fresh new talent that would make the underground buzz, rather then blending into background. Next time around, hopefully Asia will enlist the same brand of top notch production, but on his solo album.
That album cover is silly. Dudes threw some pocketchange, an eighth, and a phone on the table like it's the proceeds of a bank heist or something. Whatever. Never really liked Planet Asia and I doubt this album would change that.
Pain Language is a Banger.
This is a 4* album to me. There's a lot of dope cuts on here, quality release.

We do exist Bridget don't lose hope,God is good
We do exist but from my experience all I get is woman games.
My brother is a great one.. a bit young for you!!! He is 20!!! But he will turn in such a great man some day
The girls ask where the good Catholic blokes are, and the fellas are wondering where the good Catholic girls are.
Can't win cos we're too busy asking instead of looking.
If I don't get a man, maybe I'll end up a nun - married to the best fella ever!
Or I die a crazy cat lady.
Don't worry be happy? There's worse things. Like you could wake up tomorrow with Richard Dawkins growing out of your forehead.
Er..Andrew? If they were good, decent, CATHOLIC guys, then they most likely have good, decent CATHOLIC parents. This means that they are following Church doctrine and abortion is way out. So, um, no. They aren't all dead.
Rather, I think it's due to the constant hypocrisy that I see every day in the American Church.
Some, yes. Most likely? I don't think you can support this supposition.
There are more than a few girls (literally) and young women who have been coerced into unwanted abortions by their parents, boyfriends, spouses, doctors, etc. or who fell for the secular party-line on abortion and contraception because their priests never spoke out on these issues from the pulpit. Many of these may have otherwise been, or even did become, good Catholic parents.
One significant problem is that too many people are looking for what they want, not what God wants for them.
Another is that there are far too many who may well be generally decent people and who in all sincerity consider themselves good Catholics, but who have in reality fallen victim to the modernistic agenda -- understandably, since they have been taught this by their parents and teachers, even many in Catholic schools. They claim to embrace the Catechism -- but only when they agree with it. When they don't, they refuse to even consider they may be wrong. These folks can't find what they consider to be decent Catholics because, of course, no one else's version of Catholicism quite matches their own.
I must hasten to add that what I am discussing above are beliefs, not acts. We all, regardless of our beliefs, are sinners who fall quite frequently. Which is why we have Confession. But, let's face it, before one can do the right thing, they must first believe it is the right thing to do...
I have a question for all of you guys out there....why can't I find a decent, single Catholic guy? How come they don't exist?
I'm an indecent single catholic guy, but when i get dressed i'll be a decent single catholic guy
I have a question for all of you guys out there....why can't I find a decent, single Catholic guy? How come they don't exist?
I have a question for all of you guys out there....why can't I find a decent, single Catholic guy? How come they don't exist?
They exist where are all the decent single catholic girls? Well I can say the decent guys are looking for the decent girls at least I am but not having much luck in the dc area everyone here it seems cares more about themselves and their career nothing wrong with that just the whole idea of settling down have a family seems to be the last thing on most girls minds I meet :(.

I've bought high-end commercial curry ice cream, made by Vosges Haut Chocolat: http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/exotic_ice_cream/exotic_ice_creams My local Whole Foods sells it. I liked it and i'd buy it again It uses a yellow curry of some sort as the flavor base and included both cow's and coconut milk. I've tried all their flavors except the Wattleseed and it's too cold here now to eat ice cream. The Pandan was disappointing. See, i'm a real fan of pandan, a leaf which is used to flavor sweets in Indonesia and much of the rest of Southeast Asia. But the chocolate just overpowered it. I'd be inclined to not use a standard purchased Thai kaeng paet (i prefer to use the Thai terms, since the word "curry" is so misunderstood and misused by Americans). Now i love garlic, and a garlicy ice cream doesn't turn me off, and i love shrimp paste (my mouth waters every time i smell it cooking, due to living in Indonesia for a few years), but if it were me, i'd rather start with fewer ingredients, and adjust them as necessary. Will you be making your own kaeng paet paste? On the other hand, i think that kaeng paet would be much better than kaeng kiew warn, the Thai green paste, although a net search turns up some place making that, too. If you need some recipes for kaeng paet, i've got several books written by Thai chefs (including one who worked for the Thai royal family), so i'd be happy to share. -- Urtatim (that's err-tah-TEEM) the persona formerly known as Anahita

This video from ClimateCentral looks at the way climate conditions can affect vegetation in the West, and what influence this has on wildfires. Drought and rainfall can have very different wildfire outcomes, depending on vegetation type, extent, and location.
This short cartoon video uses a simple baseball analogy (steroid use increases probability of hitting home runs) to explain how small increases in greenhouse gases can cause global temperature changes and increase the probability of extreme weather events.
This video is part two of a seven-part National Academies series, Climate Change: Lines of Evidence. The video outlines, with the use of recent research and historical data, how we know that the Earth is warming.
In this video segment, adapted from Navajo Technical College, two Navajo Elders speak about climate change and differences in the environment that they have observed.
Global sea level has been steadily rising for decades and is expected to continue. Scientists have very high confidence that global sea level will rise at least another 8 inches and as much as 6.6 feet by 2100, causing significant impacts in U.S. coastal regions. This report lays out the science and describes possible scenarios to help planners and policy leaders assess the risks.
NOAA's National Climatic Data Center issues monthly storm data containing a chronological listing, by states, of storm occurrences and unusual weather phenomena. Reports contain information on storm paths, deaths, injuries, and property damage. An "Outstanding storms of the month" section highlights severe weather events with photographs, illustrations, and narratives. Users may also search the NCDC Storm Event database to find various types of storms recorded in your county or use other selection criteria as desired.
Some significant climate events are subject to a deeper analysis than is possible on the NOAA National Climatic Data Center's operational monitoring time scales. This section catalogs significant climate- and weather-related events from the late 1990s to the present. The catalog of Special Reports includes but is not limited to: hurricanes, droughts, wildfires, and flooding.
A report that considers past change over geologic time, recent evidence of accelerated rates of change, and the implications of continued climate change in Maine during the 21st century as a result of greenhouse gas emissions and their associated pollutants.
Over 360 authors from 45 countries contributed to this comprehensive appraisal of the Earth's climate. Observations from pole-to-pole show climate patterns such as La Niña and El Niño contributed to some climate events this year. Trends consistent with manmade climate change over the last 50 years are also continuing. These include warming temperatures, melting glaciers and saltier seas, which are related to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.
A series of publications by the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to help residential builders achieve whole-house energy savings in five major climate zones.The series includes best practices and case studies for new and retrofitted projects.

I have been working at Chubb Corp full-time (more than 8 years)
Excellent training; good benefits; fairly good opportunities to move around and post for other jobs.
No work/life balance. Tons of layoffs and "restructuring" have been happening over the last couple of years. No true regard for people as human beings - a very cold corporate environment. People are here one day and gone the next - and there's no info about what happened. Very unsettling to those of us left behind.
They won't listen. Paul Krump and Harold Morrison are good LEADERS. Everyone respects them and wants to work in their world. Hr is a mess - someone really needs to look at it. Can't get an answer out of anyone.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Nearly half of Louisiana is without power as Tropical Storm Isaac moves inland.
The Public Service Commission says 901,000 homes and businesses around the state - about 47 percent of all customers - are without power Thursday.
In neighboring Mississippi, utility companies say they are working to restore power to more than 150,000 customers in south and central parts of the state.

3 month review.
After "break in" it pulls like a tractor. It is an amazingly smooth ride. It goes through anything in just 2 wheel mode. Low can pull, grinds a lot during break in. If you are "handy" I highly recommend the 700.
Wiley in MICHIGAN I Date: 04/06/2012
I'm here to tell you the Massimo700 is really dependable
I encourage anyone that is looking for a UTV to consider the Massimo UTV. I have had my UTV for nearly six months and am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I ride with the Rhino's, Ranger's and TREX's and hold my own under all elements. They are a tough and rugid machines that can handle abuse....trust me. Do your research and keep a few thousand in your pocket. These machines are WELL worth the money. As for parts; most parts are available on this website. Nearly all parts off of a 660 Rhino will interchange with the Massimo 700.Everyone has been amazed by the Massimo durability.It compares greatly to the the Rhino. It doesn't have the torque as the TREX or the Ranger but has just as much or possibly more than the Rhino. I have discovered a number of aftermartket parts that WILL interchange with the Massimo UTV. A good place to start looking for aftermarket parts is a 660 Rhino. I know you can catch good deals on these machines, as I did. The newer models are EFI, as mine is carburated. I'm sure the EFI run even better but I'm satisfied with my purchase. Keep up the good work Massimo!!


text: I have an 8 week old White German shepherd/Wolf hybrid. They said it was an Artic Wolf hybrid. I have seen the parents. The mom was the Wolf hybrid. Both Parents were white, They lived in Cages outside. The dad was also the same thing. The mom weighed, 85 pounds and the dad weighed 90 pounds. When we bought the dog, the parents told us that they were full Bred White shepherds. A couple of days later, they said that he was a Wolf hybrid. They gave us the wrong puppy. We are keeping him as he is already attached to our other Female German shepherd and our chihuahuas. We are not giving him up, but I dont know alot about Wolf hybrids. Can someone please help me out by giving me some information about them?? He is a BIG BOY too!:)

It would be easier for me to copy and paste my 4 month long email trail than re-write it here... But to be clear - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! Their website looks professional and the email order confirmation gives a delivery date. But I never got my goods - an oak tv unit and blanket box - I had weeks of lies about the delivery date and how the courier were to blame etc. By this time I was utterly sick of being messed about so I cancelled the order and requested a full refund. Every other… Read Full Review

Am unable to give zero stars so one will have to do. Ordered a 5 foot bookcase in a light waxed pine (according to the picture) -waited 2 weeks for delivery - not only was it the wrong size (4 foot)but also in a colour that bore NO resemblance to the picture. Contacted company immediately & were told it wasn't the company's fault as the manufacturer had stopped making the one we ordered (so was our fault???)After repeated 'phone calls with unkept promises calls back we were offered a £60… Read Full Review

If you paid by credit card you can ask your credit card provider to reclaim the money on your behalf

I waited months for a refund and in the end claimed it off my credit card company. It gave me huge satisfaction to have got the money direct from their bank account!! Worst company I have ever dealt with!!

I ordered a Lyon walnut/glass table lamp on 28/07 it was due to arrive on or before 11/07. I had to make several calls and email to customer services who were very unhelpful only saying they had problem with their delivery company and couldn't confirm when it was scheduled for delivery. It eventually arrive after four weeks in a flat pack which did surprise me as the description stated 'no assembly required'. I was very dissatisfied with the overall experience I did complain and asked for a… Read Full Review

I ordered and paid for furniture on 19 May, and selected a delivery date of 30 May. I phoned to check delivery but was told it was with the delivery company to agree a date. The delivery company told me they could never have delivered on the required date because they did not receive the furniture in time into their warehouse, and they don't deliver in my area on Fridays anyway. So the website delivery dates are not to be relied upon. I received my set of 4 pieces of furniture on 11 June but… Read Full Review

This company publishes Feefo customer reviews on their own website to "prove their level of customer satisfaciton. All customers of L&F should receive an invitation to comment on Feefo. I was not invited even though I asked L&F to send me the link. I then wrote to Feefo and told them I had not been invited to review L&F. Feefo have told me that they have asked L&F to send me the link but I must tell Feefo if they still don't allow me to leave a review. Am still waiting......

I had an almost identical experience to you and also contacted Feefo. However - because I never actually received my order it wasn't classed as a completed transaction so I couldn't leave feedback!! What kind of system doesn't allow feedback where the service has been so bad that you never even received your items even though they had your money for 4 months !!!

I can't comment on the product as I haven't received it! I ordered a wardrobe in March 14 and as of 30/05/14 I have not received it. It was in stock when I ordered and I was given a delivery date 2 weeks later. I was eventually told it was not going to be in stock until late April/early May and in spite of that now being a month ago there is still no sign of the item. I would like a refund but they don't respond to my attempts to communicate with them. I have basically wasted nearly £500 it… Read Full Review

Having originally ordered a TV Cabinet from another company who failed to deliver when promised and 6 weeks of excuses, I decided to try somewhere else. What a pleasure Lights and Furniture were to deal with. Their customer service was brilliant, I was kept informed of when delivery would be, they even rang to ask if it could be delivered earlier than originally stated. The delivery men were great, ringing prior to arriving and happily carrying the large box round to the back of the house. The… Read Full Review

Wow! My experience is exactly the opposite, I came to L&F because the item I wanted was 'in stock' on their website when it wasn't on others. That was back in early March and I have not received the furniture as of 30/5/14. Very unhappy customer.

I concur with your experience. I think the good reviews on here are fake!! I only wish I knew about this review site BEFORE I ordered my items from them!

I also wish I had done my homework before ordering from L&F! I will be posting my terrible review later today after I have had the time to write the extensive list of problems that I have experienced with them to date. Their claim of top class customer service is false advertising. NEVER dealt with such a terrible company in my life.

I don't believe this review is real. These are the exact items that I ordered and the dates match too - only I never received my items - the company had my money for 4 months - I phoned and emailed dozens of times and received lie after lie about delivery and refunds. In the end I got the money off my credit card company. What are the chances that someone ordered the exact same two pieces of furniture as me at the exact time I asked for a refund and then left this review. Slim to none I would say!!

On trying to assemble the furniture it quickly became apparent that not only was the wrong item of furniture sent, the item sent was incomplete.

Terrible company, they are also connected with a Jersey island company called Glow Furniture.
L&F distribution company was BJS Distribution.
I had similar problems with L&F, but spoke to BJS and got the truth.
I then went to my credit card company, and they refunded my money. I understand this is called a charge back. No doubt, they then reclaim that money back from the company, along with I hope, substantial charges.
Everybody so cheated should try a similar route if having paid by credit card.
