Love this table! A beautiful accent in the den! Perfect next to the sofa! First table arrived broken, but Overstock.com took quick action in having it picked up and another one on the way.
I love this table. Just my style. Would definitely order again. I purchased one. Am considering getting a second one for the same room (my living room). You won't be disappointed.
This is a solid piece of furniture, just what I was looking for so little grandchildren couldn't tip it over, and round so they won't bump heads on corners. This is a very dark piece of furniture, like the reviews said, but a little darker than I wanted. Actually looks black in the room sometimes. But beautiful.
Very pleased with purchase. Table is solid ,sturdy, elegant.
A very nice looking, sturdy table. The beautiful dark stain and the wood grain speaks quality. It arrived in perfect condition. Be prepared with your vacuum when you open the box. The box is lined with an extensive amount of styrofoam which partially breaks apart into small beads during shipping. Disposing of the packaging materials is cumbersome but your won't be disappointed with the table.
Product arrived as it looked in photo. Good value for the money. No assembly required
I'm using this solidly built table as a nightstand. My bed is fairly high off the floor and I wanted a large table that would hold my lamp, clock i-pod player, books, lotion, etc. This table was just the ticket.
Abbyson makes great, quality, stylish furniture, and this end table is no exception. I absolutely love it. It is great quality and looks awesome in my living room. You can always trust Abbyson quality. I love their coffee tables too.
The only thing that surprised me was the finish on the table itself. I was expecting that it would have some shine to it...but in reality the finish is more matte than shlny and slick. Beautiful table with a high-end look.
Love this table! It looks great in real life and on-line. Would buy another one if I had room!

Public has had enough of political promises
| Posted: Tuesday, Apr 08, 2014 06:00 am
Dear Editor,
The Progressive Conservative leadership circus is off and running. Some credible candidates who have been mentioned have already nixed their names from the list.
I guess they were smart enough to know where this is going. It looks like the Same Ole Same Ole gang with the odd name thrown in for entertainment purposes.
Well I wish them luck � they are going to need it.
I know The Wildrose Party is wringing its hands with anticipation, but I wouldn�t get excited just yet.
The Wildrose Party has done an excellent job of bashing the Conservatives, but the question is what would The Wildrose Party do if they were in power?
How would they skirt around the labour laws in reference to severance, how would they handle the pension pay outs, how would they handle a rogue MLA refusing to tow party line?
I know my Wildrose MLA in my area promised good communications, I have never got a mail out, info, policy platform, updates on party functions, area political news, basically nothing.
Having a web page is not communication. Communication is moving out into the communities, special functions, coffee shops, hospitals, seniors homes to name a few. Come on out, we don�t bite.
The reason for a low turn out of voters at the polls is that Albertans are sick and tired of politicians knocking on our door every four years feeding us a load of horsemuffins knowing they can�t fill the promise.
What Albertans are looking for is honesty, tell us the truth for a change, we can take it. Do what you say you are going to do. If any one knows of such a person please apply to your local political party.

March 17th: Make it Happen Rally
Liberals air long wish list for Washington- BY ETHAN WILENSKY-LANFORD (02/18/2010)
AUGUSTA — A group of advocates led by the Maine People's Alliance gathered Wednesday at the State House to urge Maine's Congressional delegation to take steps to improve life in Maine.
"Maine is now looking at a 16-year high in unemployment. Over the past 35 years, Maine has seen a 46 percent decline in manufacturing positions, which were once the backbone of a good life," said Don Berry, president of Maine AFL-CIO, a labor union. "Washington needs to put aside party differences and get down to doing the the people's work."
Christopher "Kit" St. John, executive director of the Maine Center for Economic Policy, said the bill was an effective step, but more should be done. [...]
Another advocate spoke primarily about how immigration reform could help Maine's economy. Blanca Santiago, executive director of El Centro Latino Maine, was born a U.S. citizen of Puerto Rican descent. She pointed out that Maine has one of the oldest populations in the country, but only 3.4 percent immigrants.

Activists Call on Congress to Deliver Jobs Bill Reported By: A.J. Higgins (02/17/2010)
Dozens of Mainers who are frustrated by the failure of Congress to deliver on health care, jobs and immigration reform converged at the State House today as part of a week-long national awareness effort led by Health Care for America Now. The activists are urging Maine's two U.S. senators to support a jobs bill that passed in the House in December.
Ali Vander Zanden, a health care organizer for the Maine People's Alliance, says that without federal help, conditions for most Mainers are bound to get worse before they get better. "We are mired in a recession, and a crisis in the state budget — our future now depends on Congress' action, or inaction." [...]
Blanca Santiago, the executive director of El Centro Latino, says that in addition to health care and job creation, the need for immigration reform must also be a priority for Congress because current policies just aren't working. She says that, too often, immigrants become a scapegoat for national conditions. "We can't blame them for America's financial troubles," Santiago says. "Those troubles, really, are about corporate greed and about a war that we shouldn't be in."
