Good Bed
This bed is solid, a good value and well designed. I put it together by myself in about an hour with only a phillips head screw driver. The slats system is made from good wood and is well designed. The exterior boards look good and are good quality wood. The instructions are just fine. One of the drawings has one of the washers mislabeled but that was easy to figure out. Also the diagram shows that the places where the wood screws go into the side frame have pre-drilled holes to go into - they are in fact not pre-drilled but the wood screws are self-starting and really don't need to have pre-drilled holes. These are just minor discrepancies in the instructions. The bed looks just like the photos when assembled. It does not look inexpensive. One thing to note - the mattress sits on slats that are 6 inches from the floor. Do not be confused to thinking the mattress will sit 11 inches off the floor. The slats are inside the bed frame and therefore the mattress sits 6 inches off the floor. The top of the bed frame is at 11 inches.Read More
Average bed
Ive had this platform bed for a few weeks now. It took 7-10 days to arrive in one delivery of two boxes. The biggest challenge is assembling the bed. The instructions say you need 2 people to assemble the bed. I agree. Unfortunately, it was just me. I consider myself good at putting things together and using tools, and it took me 1.75 hours to assemble the bed. There were a couple of reasons for why it was challenging to put the bed together. First, the instructions arent super clear. If you dont pay attention to the details, you can make a mistake. Thats what happened to me, and I think it added 30 minutes to my time. The second problem is that the boards are heavy. If you plan to assemble the bed on your own, make sure you are strong enough to hold the planks together while putting in the screws. I ended up using a stack of books to prop up the planks, but it wasnt easy. The bed is made of some kind of wooden composite. Its neither plywood nor pure wood (as far as I can tell), but it seems fairly solid. After sleeping on the bed for a few weeks, the bed has been stable. I think it probably will hold up for a long time. [NOTE: Im a relatively still sleeper and I havent been aggressively moving on the bed. For more active bed users, you might end up with a different opinion of the beds stability.] The bed doesnt have much space underneath it. Storing items or trying to vacuum underneath the bed might be difficult. The design of the bed is basic and minimalist. Its simply a rectangle with 4 legs. If youre looking for something to accent your bedroom, this isnt the bed for you. Overall, I think you are getting what you pay for in this bed. Nothing more, nothing less.Read More
Easy Assembly
This bed came well packaged and with clear directions. The bed was purchased for our 15 year old son who picked it out,and he loves it!!! We read the reviews and remembered the advice of a fellow overstock customer who mentioned not to unbind the support slats (they come tied together.) GREAT ADVICE. This bed was assembled in less than 45minutes by mother and son;o) The style is very simple and very clean...perfect for a minimalist.Read More
Great bed
The cost of platform beds vary greatly. This Murray bed was 1/4 the cost of what I had paid somewhere else for my oldest daughter's bed (it was a different brand). When my younger daughter begged for a platform bed like her sister's, I was feeling poor and couldn't justify spending a lot. I took a chance on the Murray bed and prayed it would pass the test. It did! We've had it for a year now and it's held up just fine. We also bought the side tables. They seemed expensive at first, but they make the bed look nice and are the best option for her room. The tables make it a little hard to get the fitted sheet on but not impossible. If it's in the way just lift the table out, put the sheet on then replace the table. It's not that hard. My daughter's and I'm happy. This was a good purchase and I'd buy it again.Read More
I found this bed frame simple to assemble using the hex key provided and a power screwdriver. I'm an average 40ish woman and did it mostly myself -- my 8-yr-old helped hold up the rails for final assembly. I've been sleeping on it for 2wks and find it solid with no creaks (I hate creaks!!). The bed is very low--can't fit any of those under-bed storage containers beneath it. I am using it with a standard innerspring mattress only. It is just exactly what I wanted, and so much cheaper than similar products from other shops.Read More

How many inches between the slats and the top edge of the frame? In other words how many inches of the mattress sits inside the frame? Thank you.
Hello, lynnbec. Hope your day is going well. It all depends upon the mattress size. You will be e-mailed more product information re this item. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
This platform leaves too much space at the sides and top/bottom of the frame for a standard size mattress of any size. I ordered a queen. Also I needed to add a piece of wood to the top of the slats to keep them from rattling. I was not throughly pleased with this platform as is, but with the piece of wood I added (just a bit smaller than the mattress size itself) -- it worked out fine. The appearance of the bed is satisfactory. Just sits a bit too low to the floor for my taste.
From the slats to the top of the frame on my queen size is 4 inches. I ordered this bed last year and I love it. It's sturdy and have had no problems. We love it.
What is the easiest and quickest way to assemble this bed?
Thank you for your interest in the Murray Queen-size Platform Bed. The fastest and best way to assemble this bed is to just follow the directions that are supplied by the manufacturer. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com.
Two people preferably where you're going to be using it. It's very easy to put together. Took me and my husband less than an hour. We assembled it in our living room,carried it to the bedroom and then attached the slats. We love it.

The treatments involved the use of clear, orange, and white traps baited with one or more of the following attractants: the major sex pheromone component of the codling moth, (E, E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol (codlemone, PH); a primary volatile constituent of ripe pear, ethyl (E, Z)-2,4-decadienoate (pear ester, PE); and acetic acid (AA). The studies were conducted in an orchard treated with sex pheromone dispensers in Washington State (USA) and in four untreated orchards in the Maule Region (Chile). In Washington State, the PE+AA lures caught more females than the PE+PH lure in both the clear and orange traps. The clear traps caught more female moths than the orange traps when each trap was baited with the PE+PH lure. The two lures caught similar total numbers of moths across trap colors. The clear traps baited with PE+PH caught significantly more total moths than the orange traps baited with PE+AA. In Chile, the clear traps baited with PE+AA caught more females than the orange traps baited with PE+PH over both moth flights during two field seasons. The white traps baited with PH and the orange traps baited with PE+PH caught similar total numbers of moths in three of the four flight periods. The clear trap baited with PE+AA caught significantly fewer moths than the two treatments that included a PH lure in two of the four flight periods. These data suggest that the adoption of clear delta traps with PE+AA lures would allow growers to better track the seasonal population dynamics of female codling moths.

Reputation on thin ice
Blackhawks' Kane addresses controversy in limited, sincere fashion
He was lucky Monday, if the word "luck" can be applied at all to Kane. His first foray into public after his arrest last week amid police charges that Kane and his cousin robbed and beat up a Buffalo cab driver was in the relatively friendly environment of a Chicago-area hockey rink for the U.S. Olympic hockey orientation camp.
Keeping the Miley thing in mind, "The little kids in the stands are going to give you a good cheer," Kane said. "Sometimes that overrides the other people."
On Monday, the "other people" pretty much amounted to a few boos from one guy in a Dallas jersey. It's going to get worse for Kane, one way or another, and jeering fans are the best for which he can hope.
A week and two days ago, Kane had the proverbial world at his feet. Out on a Saturday night in his hometown, you have to figure that Kane -- if not treated like a king as an NHL star and local celebrity at age 20 -- at least was having a pretty good time until he climbed into a cab with his cousin sometime after 4 a.m.
It all gets fuzzy after that for those of us not inside the cab, and perhaps even for those who were. A Buffalo grand jury will sort it out this week, deciding whether Kane and his cousin will be charged with a felony or misdemeanors or not at all.
But the damage has been done.
The cameras captured his entrance into the makeshift press room of the Seven Bridges Ice Center in suburban Woodridge on Monday morning, a symphony of flashing and clicking and whirring focused on a young man coming through a door and sitting down on a folding chair.
It was not a perp walk, but it could have been.
Looking somehow smaller in a dark blue suit and slicked-down hair, not unlike a kid who has been forced to take a bath and dress up against his will, Kane read a prepared statement that sounded nothing like him. Nothing like anyone with half a personality.
And then he was gone, and you understood, as he said, that the pending legal proceedings prevented him from saying anything more. But you also wondered when he was going to look us in the eye and speak from his heart.
That's all most of us want, isn't it? Even from the most despicable fallen athletes, you want some sort of contrition. And in the absence of that, you want sincerity.
Kane watched on ESPN last week as Vick spoke from Philadelphia on the occasion of his return to the NFL after serving 18 months in prison for his involvement in an illegal dog-fighting operation.
Kane and Vick in the same sentence.
That's what happens when you're a rich and successful athlete. You get lumped in with a convicted felon. Heck, Kane lumped himself in Monday, after emerging from practice and allowing himself to respond to actual questions.
"After [Vick's speech], you hear people saying, 'He's not really sorry' and things like that," Kane said. "But going through something, obviously not as bad as that but something similar, you could tell he was sorry and you really realize how privileged you are at times like this.
"It was actually fun for me to watch and see how sorry he was and how happy he was to be back in the game of football. There are going to be ups and downs in life, and things like this are going to happen, but you don't want it to happen again."
Kane's attorney is no doubt cringing somewhere right now that his client has said this much, because his words are now open to analysis and interpretation, very possibly unfavorable, possibly incorrect.
But Kane kept going, and you were with him because you've seen phonies, and this wasn't one of them. You've heard prepared statements written by PR people, and these words weren't rehearsed.
He might not have wanted to rehash exactly what happened in that cab, but he wanted to say something to let people know he isn't the punk who has been portrayed.
He was asked if he felt the need to tell his story to coaches or officials with USA Hockey, if he was worried what they would think of him.
"I haven't really told anyone my side of the story, to be honest with you," Kane said. "The only one that really knows is my lawyer and my family, but that's about as far as it goes. At a time like this, obviously you're worried about different things, things that come into play -- being on the cover of a video game or coming to a camp like this or anything you're involved with.
"Everyone has been pretty supportive so far. I think they're tending to see that not all the facts are out, but you can't just judge on the first impression of a story."
An incident like Kane's has to send shivers down the spines of other athletes, those who have done nothing more than being out at 4 in the morning and those who have done worse. Dustin Byfuglien, Kane's Blackhawks teammate also attending this week's camp, said the fragility of upholding a reputation as a young star athlete in today's society is "huge."
"Everywhere you go, there's always going to be people watching no matter what you do," he said. "It might be a little thing, and you'll hear about it and you'll be like, 'Wow, that made it in.' It's just things we've got to live with and it's part of our lifestyle and you've just got to be careful.
"Everyone kind of steps back and thinks thank God it wasn't them, and that's all you can do."
Patrick Kane was not pure innocence a week and two days ago.
When he was in third grade, the man in charge of the Buffalo house league told his dad the other parents thought Patrick was scoring too much and wanted him out. These were the same parents who, talking just loudly enough for Patrick's parents to hear, predicted that all that scoring would stop as soon as the other boys were allowed to knock the Kane kid into next week.
At 10, playing with the older kids, he was being asked for his autograph.
When Kane was 14, he moved away from home for the first time, his mother and his aunt dropping him off in Detroit to play for a top junior team.
A couple of hours later, his mom heard a somewhat familiar voice on the phone.
"I remember I was crying," Kane recalled in an interview a year and a half ago, "and I called my mom and said, 'I don't think I can do this.'"
Donna Kane said she wanted to turn the car around and retrieve her son, but told him, "We all know it's hard, but we've never been quitters, and you made a commitment to the team. At least give it a chance and see what happens. If it's still bad, you can still come home, but it's something I think you need to do."
He never lived at home again, and we can all debate whether this is a good thing or a normal thing, without knowing what it's like to have a prodigy as a child. But observing him with his parents and his younger sisters who idolize him; hearing him talk this past season about how mad his mom was at him when he cracked his front teeth after colliding with Jonathan Toews, all because he didn't have his mouth guard in -- "I'm always playing with it," he said sheepishly -- was, well, revealing.
Hearing Kane on Monday did not bring you any closer to the inside of that Buffalo cab. But it did bring you closer to Kane than a prepared statement. And it allowed you to hear his voice catch when he was asked what was the "toughest part" about the last week or so.
"My family's reaction," he said, after an exaggerated exhale. "Just being in handcuffs and them seeing me in handcuffs. They said it's something they never want to see again, and my family didn't raise me that way, so it's tough letting them down, too."
It was easy to believe.

"Superlative novel ruined by a terrible narrator"
I don't need to write much about the novel itself, the other reviewers have all done it justice. It is brilliantly written and wonderfully interwoven, full of fascinating characters and information, given authenticity by the fact that the author knows the places he is writing about and has taken the trouble to really do his homework on the history and technical information involved.
The problem is that the narrator is simply an amateur who is not even remotely up to the task of presenting this brilliant work. It sounds as though someone had been picked off the street in London at random and then recorded the book without any direction or correction. The reader only really has one voice -- uptight and strained -- and each attempt at a character's voice is worse than the last. A male character introduced as having a "stentorian baritone" speaks in a tortured and hoarse falsetto, all women sound like demented spinsters of at least seventy who are also suffering from croup, and the less said about the narrator's pitifully painful attempts at foreign accents the better. After the second chapter I found myself beginning to flinch whenever a new character was introduced, because I knew that in a moment I would be subjected to new depths of abominable dialect and miserable characterisation, and I was never disappointed.
If it were possible I would give the book eight stars and the narration zero or less than zero. Since this isn't possible I've decided to award the maximum possible rating because the book itself deserves it. Even so, I feel cheated because the abysmally bad narration almost completely ruined the experience of this wonderful book -- it is a tribute to the book's brilliance and power that I actually managed to listen through to the end. I am certainly going to make a note of this narrator's name and will never ever buy a book narrated by him again.
"First half good, second half sucks"
This is one of those books that gets off to an excellent start and then just dies on you. In this case it seems to be because the author changed his mind about what kind of book he was going to write around half way through. In the first half it looked as though after his accident, King really wanted to write a thoughtful, personal book about the process of recovery and reevaluating your life, and he does this really well. If he had gone on with this it could have been a really good book.
Even in the first half of the book lots of the characters need a little more work -- for example, it got to the point that every time Wireman said "Hey muchacho" I wanted to kick someone. A good editor would smack his author for that, I guess if you're Steven King your editor doesn't dare any more. In real life people who do that are tools; normally they only appear in TV advertising. What makes this really annoying is knowing that King can do this a lot better if he wants to. After all, he wrote one of the best books around on good writing, but here he breaks all the rules.
Then things go downhill very badly. King suddenly remembers, "Hey, I write horror stories," and decides to switch genres. Unfortunately, the horror story is awful. It has a kind of Fifties B-movie quality, and is about as scary as the 585th episode of Scooby Doo. Strangely, all the psychologically insightful observation apparent in the first half disappears, replaced by a kind of macho-like macho hero revenge story. I suffered through it dutifully to the end but it just didn't get any better.
"Unfortunately dull"
I have loved John Irving's books in the past, especially Garp and the Cider House Rules, but like Widow for a Year this one was a big disappointment. I tried very hard to like it and it has its good points -- the writing is beyond reproach, as always -- but the bottom line is that it is horribly dull. It seems that like many very successful writers, Irving has fallen into the trap of believing that everything that comes from his pen must be outstanding because it comes from his pen. Unfortunately, it just ain't so. Owen Meany is padded with so much dull, plodding exposition that contributes nothing to the story line or the characters and does nothing to keep your attention that ultimately, reading this book is a chore.
"Desperately in need of editing"
There are a lot of TV documentaries nowadays that take a tiny snippet of real information that could easily be covered in five minutes and stretch it out for an hour or more. Connie Willis' writing is like that, but in the reading it stretches to 26 hours.
Sadly, she's actually quite a good writer, with reasonably good ideas, she just has no sense whatsoever of when suspense has reached a point where it needs to be resolved. Instead, she tortures her readers for hours by holding out a carrot of some revelation that never comes, forcing them to slog their way through the molasses of page after page after page of filler material without any real content, that contributes nothing at all to the progress or understanding of the story.
I have always considered abridging to be a crime against literature, but in this case it is a crime that this book was not abridged. At least two thirds of it is wholly extraneous and could be slashed without any loss at all. Many passages could be cut from ten pages to two paragraphs and the result would be much, much better.
The fact that this book was published in this form is probably more the fault of the editors than the author. Many writers produce first drafts as bad as this, it's the job of the editor to tell them as gently as possible that it has the makings of a very good book -- and it does -- but that to be more readable there needs to be less of it.
Or as Mark Twain said, the art of good writing is knowing what to leave in the pen.
"Fascinating and illuminating"
This is one of the best and most comprehensible books on this subject I have ever read -- almost all of it was absolutely fascinating. The only place it falls down is when the Kaku starts to speculate, or rather fantasize, about the future, then it just gets silly. Those chapters could have been left out and the book would have been much better. He does also suffer from the "Now we know everything" illusion that has been putting blinders on thinkers since the dawn of human history.
""Second-rate" would be undeserved praise"
This audio book is sub-standard in every way: It's badly written with a cookie-cutter plot and stereotypes instead of characters and the narration is awful. I struggled through a couple of hours and then gave up, if I had the choice I'd rather watch paint dry.
"Good but greatly overrated"
Like many others I bought this after hearing Jerry Pournelle on TWiT and Leo Laporte's constant gushy praise of it. Jerry and Leo are both nice guys, but this book never goes beyond mediocre at best. The story is slow and predictable, the characters are wooden and two-dimensional and the writing is just awful. The politics never get beyond primitive jingoistic militarism. I'm going to finish it, but I really wish I hadn't bothered.
The first book in the series was a solid thriller and quite entertaining, particularly as the story was quite unusual. This one feels unfinished, and it's really a chore to read it. Everything sounds long-winded and forced, and the author's high-horse moralistic pontificating starts off by being annoying and gets more and more obtrusive as the story goes on. This is made absurd and a little disturbing by the salivating glee and intensity with which he portrays the "evil perverts" that he claims to be combating. Strangely, these characters have much more humanity and force than all his good characters combined. I constantly got the feeling that these were the people that the author was really secretly identified with, as though the book was really an inner battle attempting to atone for his own dark side. Combined with the boring story I found this a major turn-off, given the subject material, and eventually gave up.
"Wonderful story, brilliant writing and narration"
I read this after being tormented by the mediocre pulp of "Game of Thrones" and "Red Mars". What a relief to return to a real writer and storyteller, and one who can narrate his own work brilliantly as well. An enchanting story, believable and captivating characters, real imagination of an offbeat world so masterfully painted that you don't hesitate to suspend disbelief to enjoy it. The only downside is the fact that most of Gaiman's books are blacklisted by Audible's narrow-minded publishers, available only to listeners in the USA.
"Tedious, verbose, inconsequential"
Another man with a word processor who just can't stop typing. Someone once said that if you make a movie over three hours long you'd better be David Lean. In the same vein, if you write a book of this kind that's this long, you'd better be J.R.R. Tolkien, or at least Martha Mitchell. Unfortunately, Martin is neither, despite the cutesy "R.R." in his moniker. if you can't tell the difference between World of Warcraft and Tolkien you might actually enjoy this book. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
"Well researched, needs work by a real writer"
Some books are long for a reason. This isn't one of them. You could remove two thirds of the words from Red Mars without losing anything. The background of hard science is excellent and fascinating but Robinson can't write his way out of a paper bag. He can't create characters, can't do dialog, can't plot and writes love scenes like a 14-year-old. If it could be completely reworked by someone who can write this could be an excellent book.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Oct 2012 16:45 GMT | Sport, Cricket, Sri Lanka
When Darren Sammy was appointed West Indies captain two years ago there were plenty who doubted whether he was the right choice as the latest man to attempt to turn around Caribbean cricket.
Even those who swiftly began to appreciate the quiet but firm style of leadership Sammy brought to a young team were unconvinced about whether his unheralded skill-set merited an automatic place in the team.
On Sunday, Sammy celebrated West Indies' biggest tournament success since the 1979 World Cup triumph after his team defeated hosts Sri Lanka in the final of the World Twenty20. But typically, the modest St. Lucian passed up the chance to take a shot at his critics.
"I never worry about the critics...Everybody will have an opinion but when I go out there on the field, I go on to play for this crest," he said, tapping the West Indies badge on his shirt.
Winning spirit
Badge-kissing has, of course, become viewed with some justified cynicism in professional sport but for once there was value in the gesture.
The symbol of Caribbean cricket has been associated more with what Bob Marley called "fussing and a-fighting" than with success but Sammy, together with coach Ottis Gibson, has been able to create a winning team spirit that has been absent for so long.
Contract rows, disputes over captaincy and selection, player strikes and allegations of mismanagement have hampered West Indies cricket through the past two decades of decline.
Talk in the cricket-obsessed Caribbean turned from the question of when the days of domination from the 1970s and 80s would return to simply whether West Indies would be capable of even being competitive again.
The question remains open-ended for test cricket but in the shortest format, Sammy's team have shown that they are capable of getting back to the top - a huge psychological boost with a broader impact that should not be under-estimated.
"This is definitely a step forward. We believe we can win matches. We're not trying just to compete any more," said Sammy.
"We believe we can win against good opposition. We showed signs of that in the last year or so, but we were not winning. Hopefully, this can be the start of something good for the West Indies team and the people."
Talent base
Individual Twenty20 games can be won with some luck and one good innings but a tournament victory requires a broader range of talent that Sammy's side showcased amply.
West Indies came into the tournament with their explosive batting well noted - Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels in particular enjoyed outstanding tournaments - and with the spin of Sunil Narine justifiably respected.
But Gibson's work was evident in the outstandingly athletic fielding - two brilliant run outs ripped the heart out of Sri Lanka's reply on Sunday - as well as the disciplined bowling.
Gayle's extraordinary hitting ability is famous but on Sunday it was Samuels, a man who still burns with a sense of injustice over his two-year ban from the game for alleged links with a bookmaker, that was the key man as he took apart Lasith Malinga to make a superb 78 off 56 balls.
"This is something be proud about. We are here today to say that West Indies cricket is back. This is T20, but it can bring a lot of fans to watch us around the world, people who still love West Indies cricket," said the Jamaican.
The question now is whether West Indies can move on from this victory and become a winning team in test cricket as well.
There are some promising signs - Gayle and Samuels have proved they can make runs in test cricket too and while quality spinners have been the key to West Indies bowling success in Twenty20, they finally have a good line-up of pace bowlers to choose from with Kemar Roach and Fidel Edwards coming into their prime.
Sammy's valuable two for six off two overs and 26 off 15 balls in the final showed his worth in the shortest format but neither his batting nor his bowling create much fear in the five-day game.
But the sight of Gayle, whose absence from the team not so long ago encapsulated the discord and dysfunction in West Indies cricket, wildly celebrating a team victory with Sammy was surely enough to answer the questions over leadership.
Ask any of the coaches who have worked with West Indies in the past decade and they will, at some stage, refer to the lack of self-belief that had infected the Caribbean collective.
After this win, West Indies finally believe again.

Farmland rent trends for 2014
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- An increase in 2014 farmland rent in Minnesota may indicate a loss for producers at current corn and soybean cash forward contract prices available.
This calculation factors in other expenses and projected total income with historical yields. If corn or soybean prices increase--or if yields are better than expected in 2014--producers may be able to pay higher rental rates.

Q&A: MOMFinds.com Editor & SHEfinds.com Editorial Director, Jeanine Edwards
Welcome to the eleventh installment of TheFind's 12 Days of Christmas Q&A series with industry leaders of all trades. MOMfinds.com editor and SHEfinds.com editorial director, Jeanine Edwards, shares with us her favorite holiday style interests and tips for finding trendy must-haves this season. Let's see what's on Jeanine's wish list!
What are some of your favorite holiday products/trends for moms and/or children this season?
Elf on the Shelf is obviously a classic and there are so many great Elf products aside from doll and the book. We're also really excited about the Annie movie, which is coming out this holiday season. The top toy lists that many major retailers do is also fun for my daughter and me. She gets to mark off the items she really wants and I get to get a head start on holiday shopping. And because we love fashion, picking out our outfits for holiday parties and the holiday card photo is also lots of fun and an excuse to wear something sparkly.
What items are on your holiday wish list? What is a must-have this holiday season?
I really want the new iPhone 6 and a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. Other must-haves of the season include the NARS & Urban Decay Vault sets, anything from the Alexander Wang x H&M and TOMS for Target collections and the new waterproof UGGs.
What are your readers interested in and shopping for this holiday season?
Our readers are already in gifting mode. Between all the wearable tech and the new Apple launches, tech is going to be huge this holiday. There are also a bunch of exciting beauty sets and launches from NARS, Urban Decay, Gucci and Christian Louboutin we expect to sell out and items from the collaborations mentioned above will definitely be hot commodities.
What is your holiday shopping routine and what holiday shopping tips do you have for readers to find the best picks?
I find myself starting earlier and earlier. I actually already have a bunch of gifts for my daughter stockpiled because I didn't want the run the risk of them being sold out. My advice is always to shop early and act fast–if you see something you want for yourself or someone on your gift list, pull the trigger and buy it now. Worst case, you'll find it on sale later in the season and you can return the more expensive one. I would also encourage shoppers to take advantage of price matching and free shipping deals which will be extremely prevalent this holiday season. I would also say check sites like SHEfinds.com and other lifestyle sites that are compiling gift guides–we've seen the best of the best from tons of different retailers so you can rest assured we've truly done the dirty work for you.
What is one item in your home you couldn't live without this holiday season?
My slow cooker! The holiday season is all about soups and stews for me, so I'll be using it a lot!
Where do you get your inspiration?
I'm very fortunate to work on the Internet which has endless sources for inspiration: blogs, Instagram, photographers, interior designers, Pinterest – the options are truly never-ending.
