Comments about Fisher-Price 1001124 Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Apptivity Storybook Reader:
I like this toy! You download the Fisher-Price apps that you scan with your iPhone. I ended up downloading 15 apps that Fisher-Price has to offer at the app store. Although it didn't hold my sons attention for too long while on the plane; I like the concept of it! My son doesn't usually play with my phone for long at home nor does he get distracted to watch tv. He wants to explore! I am almost wondering if I should always keep my phone in this toy :) Works well for teething and keeping my phone safe. The lock on the back is not easy and therefore I am not concerned my son will be able to open it for quite a while!

Thirty paratroopers assigned to the Joint Readiness Training Center Operations Group jumped from a perfectly good C-130 aircraft and landed at the Army's premier combat training center's Geronimo Drop Zone June 9.
Ops Group is fielding the Army's new official parachute — the T-11 advanced tactical parachute system — and received the parts to put the jump system together earlier this year.
The original time frame for orienting Soldiers to the T-11 system was slated for 2014, but the implementation training was moved forward earlier this year, said Command Sgt. Major Chip Mezzaline, Ops Group. The previous parachute system — the T-10 that has been around since 1950 — will be phased out by August 2013, he said.
"In April 2013, Fort Polk received the equipment and began working to in-process, assemble and jump the T-11 Advanced Tactical Parachute System," said Warrant Officer David Beville, JRTC Airdrop Branch commander.
"Currently the riggers are halfway through the in-service of the T-11," he said.
"Throughout the next few months we're going to go through the training and learn how to size, fit and properly use the system," Mezzaline said. "The jumpmasters have already completed the training and the remainder of Soldiers on jump status in Operations Group will jump the T-11 later this summer.
"The 1st Battlion (Airborne), 509th Infantry Regiment will follow and then we'll get the rest of the T-11s here and continue our normal training cycle," he said.
Ten of the 30 jumpers were riggers. According to checks and balances protocol, parachute riggers have to jump a random parachute they packed, Mezzaline said.
"Today was my sixth time jumping the T-11 ATPS and I believe it went pretty well for everyone," said Sgt. Charli Boyer, a parachute rigger with the JRTC Airdrop Branch. The packing process is more tedious than the T-10 Delta so there is more attention to detail when packing the T-11, she said. "But just as the rigger motto says — 'I will be sure always.'"
According to Airborne Systems, the contractor who developed and produces the parachute system, the T-11 was specifically designed to carry a paratrooper with a total exit weight of 400 lbs. safely to the ground. With minimal opening shock, a slow rate of descent and zero oscillation, the jumper is provided increased safety, which allows for successful completion of Soldier combat missions.
"The modified cruciform shape of the T-11 ATPS compared to the T-10 Delta gives it better lift capability," said Beville. "The T-11 ATPS allows for roughly a four-second rate of descent, which allows the jumper to have a softer landing and has lowered the number of (jump-related) injuries."
Another benefit of the T-11 is the reduction on the jumper of the opening shock of the parachute, he said.
Mezzaline worked at the Airborne Academy when the system was fielded at the school.
"From the time I exited the plane, checked and gained control of my canopy and saw my fellow paratroopers 'getting canopy' until I went to prepare to land, I was pleased with the T-11's performance," Mezzaline said about the first T-11 jump at Fort Polk. "I had a nice soft landing. The T-11 does reduce the impact. It's a good system."

Cam's Next Shot At Hov!
Oh, God.
Here we go with this shit.
Well, if you were not previously aware of the twistingly complex rivalry between Cam'ron and Jay-Z, well then your a disgrace. The Dipset's head honcho has made his next move in the battle with a remix to Bad Boy artist Yung Joc's record It's Going Down. Saying things like:
"Player hater I don't play them games/you got beef with Killa, nigga... say
my name/you shy?/snortin wrong/or they recorded wrong/my paper long/I be on any resort you're on,"
Uhh...yeah. Anyway, he went on to call Hov a "Jigga-boo" and questioned his loyalty, financial status, and fashion sense. You know, regular beef talk. The new attempt was apparently a counter to a few of Jay's lines on Rick Ross' Hustlin remix. Want my opinion? No? Well, here it is anyway. Cam should've just shut the fuck up on this one. I'm on his side, but this is gettin so pathetic. I mean, Jay's comments were all subliminal, which doesn't deserve a response anyway. It's like trying to fight a boulder. When you are constantly attacking something that's not even paying any attention to you, guess who looks like a dumbass. On the other hand, I don't understand how Jay's old ass can be retired, when he's on a new Def Jam remix every month. Make up your mind nigga!

You are here: Start
The professional network LinkedIn uses a number of gamification design elements. In this article we take a look at them and describe how they work and what their purpose is.
To make the professional network valuable for all members, information about each member is needed. The more a user enters, the more valuable for the overall network. When new members sign up, they tend to fill out the most basic information only, hesitating how much information shall be shared. The profile completeness bar (Figure 1) gently nudges users to reach 100% by appealing to achieve a sense of completion. Note that while it is easy to quickly increase the percentage at the beginning, reaching one hundred percent completeion requires succeedingly more effort, appealing to the fun motivator of mastering a skill.
When interviewing LinkedIn-members, most of them will tell that because of the progress bar they had filled out more information, without knowing that they "are being gamified."
LinkedIn has introduced a new form of such a display, called profile strength. Depending on how much the circle is filled - like a cup with water - levels are assigned to it, in the example in Figure 2 it's the level All-Star.
In this article we are going to look at different gamified systems that use points and levels for rewarding and counting the activities and achievements of their players. The systems - Yahoo! Answers, SAP Community Network, Stack Overflow, and Pearl.com - are publicly accessible, including the specific activities and rewards.
Yahoo! Answers is a community where members can ask questions and receive answers to any topic they are interested in. Members can earn points through different activities. The scoring system looks like this:
Table 1: Yahoo! Answers Point System
What is interesting in this particular point system is that points can be lost. While asking a question requires the equivalent of "paying for asking," (rule) violations and voluntarily withdrawing an answer also result in point losses.
Companies are not failing just out of nowhere. They can be on the peak of the world, and already dead without knowing it. Ask Blackberry. In 2007 they ruled the world with their smartphones. Companies were exclusively on Blackberries, even the presidential candidate Barack Obama was shown over and over again checking and working on his Blackberry. And the came the iPhone.
Or consider Blockbuster. This video rental chain had over 9,000 stores at the peak in 2004. In 2013 they finally closed all stores, after they filing for bankruptcy in 2010. Netflix with their disrupting business model of mailing the videos and purely focusing on the internet didn't have the huge overhead of brick and mortar stores that Blockbuster had and wanted to capitalize on. The hard assets became so important that the focus on a necessary switch to the soft assets never got traction.
Even that both companies, Blackberry (and Nokia for that sake) and Blockbuster were right there and watching, they could not grasp the urgency. It's like watching how popcorns are made. The kernels are in the pan, and then for several minutes nothing is happening. Some may start saying that nothing is going to happen, this is going to fail, and turn away. But after long minutes of wait suddenly the first kern pops and you have one popcorn. Now this will be certainly dismissed as an outlier. The immediate success of the iPhone was seen by the incumbents as a hype that will die off after a few weeks. But tho sneer happened, the sales went strong and accelerated.
Then the second kernel pops. And a third. And from one moment to the next all the kernels turned into popcorn. And this is where it's already too late for the incumbents to follow. Apple's success spawned immediate copycats from Samsung and others and Blackberry-sales tanked. When you followed your friends on Facebook or the Twitter messages, one friend or follower after the after announced their switch to the iPhone, often with a sigh of relief. That sentiment meant real troubles for Blackberry.
How desperate the situation was for Blackberry I could observe first hand in the mobile development groups that I had started back then with my former employer SAP as internal communities. The iPhone/iPad app developer group had 20 times as many colleagues and much more activity than the Blackberry developer group. Latter one never really got traction.
The most interesting thing was that the entrants did not even consider the incumbents as competitors. An iPhone is used for way more things than sending emails and taking a call. It's a camera, a navigation system, an organizer, a music player and so on.
Mainstream film-makers and production houses use all available means in getting the word out about their films, before, during and after release. This kind of promotion activity is driven by a business need to ensure that tickets are sold and box office expectations met. Social media is becoming an increasingly crucial arm of this marketing juggernaut. Social media differs from traditional marketing techniques in its immediacy and directness; it enables a direct relationship with the target audience, a one-to-one feedback mechanism and sharing platform. Film marketing is no longer about releasing a trailer or a few posters and waiting for the audience reaction on opening day. The market survey approach of using focus groups is also passé. After all, social media is the 21st century's perfect crowd-sourced focus group! It enables real- time, two-way communication, allowing marketing campaigns to be changed based on trends and feedback.
The typical pre-release scenario of a medium to big budget mass market film involves launching official Facebook and Twitter accounts and pushing these through traditional media, online competitions and so on.
Major influencers – movie critics and the actors themselves, among others – are used to create a buzz. Social media managers work overtime to make their product stand out from all the noise on social networks. All this to build buzz and establish a connection with audiences before the film is released.

why you need carpal tunnel surgery
what it will be like
how it will affect you
what risks are involved
any alternatives.
The information here is a guide to common medical practice. Each hospital and doctor will have slightly different ways of doing things when performing carpal tunnel surgery, so you should follow their guidance where it is different from the information given here. Because all patients, conditions and treatments vary it cannot cover everything. Use this information when making your carpal tunnel treatment choices with your doctors. You should mention any worries you have. Remember that you can ask for more information at any time.
You have a squashed or compressed nerve in your hand. This is giving you pins and needles, and possibly pain, in your fingers. This condition is called carpal tunnel syndrome. The name of the nerve involved is the median nerve. Symptoms include:
If your nerve is severely squashed the muscles it controls can shrivel over time.
The median nerve supplies sensation from the palm side of the thumb, index and middle fingers, and half of the ring finger. It also controls a muscle at the base of the thumb. The median nerve runs through a tunnel, called the carpal tunnel, in the palm of your hand; hence the name carpal tunnel decompression.
There is not quite enough room for your nerve in its tunnel. Although in many cases there is no obvious reason, carpal tunnel syndrome may arise from:
The aim of a carpal tunnel decompression operation is to relieve the pressure on your median nerve. We do this by opening the 'roof' of your carpal tunnel to give your nerve more space.
Releasing the nerve should stop most, if not all, of your symptoms.
If your symptoms are mild you can try wearing a wrist splint. Another thing to try is having a steroid injection into the wrist. Some surgeons do keyhole surgery instead of open surgery. However there is no evidence that the results are any better. The complications are greater than with open surgery.
If your nerve is squashed and you do not have an operation, your symptoms will probably get worse. Over time your nerve can be permanently damaged. In severe cases the muscles controlled by the nerve can shrivel.
If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and the symptoms interfere with your daily activities and possibly disturb your sleep, you should have the operation.
You should not have a general anaesthetic, where you are unconscious for the operation, if you have major medical problems, such as high blood pressure or a bad heart. However, as this is a minor operation, there are no real problems in having it under a local or regional anaesthetic, where only part of the body is numbed. This is commonly done.
Pregnancy - if you only suffer carpal tunnel symptoms while pregnant, you should not have this operation, as the symptoms may go once you deliver your baby.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Federal prosecutors said an Ohio hospital system and heart center will pay $4.4 million to settle allegations they improperly billed Medicare for unnecessary heart procedures.
The U.S. attorney's office in Cleveland said that as part of the settlement a former hospital lab manager who sued over the improper billing under the federal whistle-blower law will receive $661,000.
Under the settlement announced Friday, EMH Regional Medical Center will pay the government $3.9 million and North Ohio Heart Center will pay $542,000.
Both Elyria-based companies said it was best to move forward.

Don't Know Your Own Taste in Wine? Take a Test.
As my close friends know painfully well, I'm not exactly good at making decisions. At the wine store, I'm the customer who gets asked "Can I help you?" twice by the same salesperson because I've meandered between shelves for so long that they have forgotten our first encounter.
Then I usually say something brilliant like, "Can you help me find a red wine that tastes…you know, tasty…um, like the one I bought a few weeks ago…I think it was French…?"
It's not that I'm a complete oeno-idiot. I know most of the major regions and varietals, and my palate can be downright picky (especially at parties, when it's easy to surreptitiously abandon one's glass after an unpleasant sip or two). But there seems to be a sensory-linguistic connection missing in my brain when it comes to describing delicious wine.
Fortunately, I just stumbled across a cool tool called the Vinogram (thanks to the Vinography wine blog's links list). In the build-your-own version, it asks a series of questions about your taste in other areas, then uses those concrete examples to predict which wine characteristics (i.e. aged, floral, fruity, mineral) you will probably like more than others.
For example, do you prefer mild or strong cheese? (Strong.) White or dark chocolate? (Dark.) Would you rather smell "wood pitch and gasoline," "honey and hay," "nutty and dry apricot," or "citrus and white flower"? (Anything but the first, please!) And so on. In most cases, it seems obvious where your answers will lead you,* but it's still fun to see the results in graphic form.
Armed with this knowledge on my next shopping endeavor, I will seek out a "powerful, persistent, toasty" red with moderately floral, fruity and spicy notes and just a hint of sweetness. The Vinogram thinks I might like to try a Vin de Pays ("country wine") from Languedoc, or a Merlot from Saint Emilion, among others. Of course, I'll read the label carefully.
Between that and the helpful "Wine and Food Matcher" I found over at Natalie MacLean's blog, I may never befuddle a wine salesperson again.
*Except for this question: When shopping for Christmas presents, do you tend to buy far in advance or wait until the last minute? Unless "procrastination" is actually a wine characteristic, this is probably a marketing question that snuck in there.

With marketing activities underway, you will want to assess whether these activities are achieving the objectives they were designed to accomplish and are helping the program reach its overall goal. To best assess activities, create an evaluation plan.
Collect and Analyze Data Sample Tools
In July 2009, Clean Energy Works Oregon (CEWO) launched a pilot program in Portland to judge the effectiveness of an energy efficiency program in the state. The program created an evaluation plan to gauge success. The plan included predetermined outreach dates, evaluation activities, and the scope and timeframe of the program's evaluation process. Evaluation results revealed where the pilot program was successful—and where adjustments were needed.
In this step, using the evaluation plan developed under Step 2 as your guide, you will collect data and analyze the results of your marketing activities. Once you've analyzed the data, you will adjust your program's tactics based on what efforts do and don't appear to be working. Don't wait until the end of a campaign to evaluate it! As your marketing efforts progress, watch for trends in your evaluations and don't be afraid to make adjustments to your plan.
Use unique codes (e.g., discount codes or coupon codes) in your marketing or advertising materials that consumers are instructed to reference when inquiring about the program. With this approach, you are set up to evaluate which of your tactics and messages were most effective for generating inquiries, applications, or upgrades.
The Better Buildings Neighborhood Program has designed sample surveys to help gauge a program's successes and shortfalls. The first is an email survey to participants who have successfully completed the upgrade process, and the second is a phone survey to be conducted with participants who started the process but dropped out.
Both surveys are designed to help a program evaluate its marketing tactics by asking where the participant first heard of the program. Questions about participants' motivations for engaging with the program show which messaging might be most compelling.

Sir Elton John sues The Times over false tax avoidance storySir Elton John is set to file a libel lawsuit against British newspaper The Times over articles that falsely linked him to immoral tax evasion. The Times originally wrote that Patrick McKenna of Ingenious Media was Sir Elton's former accountant, but they were forced to print a correction that stated this was not the case. Sir Elton's legal team have now described the correction "wholly inadequate". William McCormick QC stated in Sir Elton's papers that the pop icon was concerned about his reputation and charity work after the damaging story had been published: "The allegations are particularly damaging to the claimant's reputation in the sphere of charity fundraising." Sir Elton's lawyers said the articles caused the 'Your Song' superstar "severe damage to his reputation and personal distress and embarrassment" and they will seek damages for "the sense of insult and injury".

This is the Bug List - current as of Jan 1, 2005 (v40)
I have assigned priorities to all bug and small feature requsts they are noted in square brackets at the end of each item. Feel free to question my priorities. If there is enough clamor that something I rate low is of high importance, I'll change it...
Most outstanding bugs are minor and will be addressed within the next few releases. I have eliminated many old bug reports that I personally havent seen in a long time. If someone sees a previous bug that Ive gotten rid of, please let me know. All bugs have a - prefix to distinguish them from the small feature requests, which have a f prefix.
An 'X' in front of an item means it has been fixed/addressed. Usually the X items are left for a while in case the same issue comes up (the implementation may not have worked completely).
I have put the newer bugs at the top of the file, and relegated the older ones to the bottom. Note that there is also now a web-based bug reporting system. I will try and transcribed the bugs reported there to here also, so that we can have one-stop shopping. The web site is at http://www.vovan.net/bugzilla/. I will usually omit stack traces and such for the errors already reported at bugzilla
Numerous bugs have been found by alms and others, and many of them have already been fixed by Laurent. If you see a bug reported in one of the demo eight or scenario threads that is not here and seems important, please report it to me, ideally in the format below.

-170 (bugzilla bug 4) - mini map
In playing around with the testbed today, trying to find the map size that would fill the entire minimap screen, I discovered that generating a map larger than:
causes a problem with the minimap as seen in the attatched image. I didn't go further to test whether it was the width or the height because, as you may have noticed, I was trying to keep the map square.

X172 In the process of looking through the code, I discovered another problem In SquareClass summarized below:
* @todo this method assumes kapital level per population is 1 and hat
* population in the new square will equal average for the civ. Both of
* these assumptions can produce very inaccurate results. (Mark)
public float getPotentialEconomicValue(Civilization civ)
-173 (Alms) I don't see it in the list so, could we fix the bug where specials don't get drawn after they get buried by fog of war? This is really apparent in dawn, with the wheat and horses disappearing after you move away from those tiles.
Mark: I see the wheat just fine through the fog. Anyone else not see it?
-174 (Alms 16) Can we add some extra black space at the bottom and right hand sides of the display map? The scroll bar cuts off the bottom half of the bottom row of tiles which makes them difficult to select, and for some reason the last column of tiles on the right is difficult to select. I often end up clicking the mouse 3 or more times to get a unit's move path set there. I assume it's a display problem. Anyone else have this? (Mark doesnt have this problem)
-55. When there are too many enemy TFs on a square, right-click does not produce a pop-up window with the details. I noticed this when I let the AI grow huge armies (by turn 80). By that time also the power circle of those mega-concentrations vanishes, cause it's too large and it gets buried under tiles further away which are probably refreshed after that. [dont know if this is still a problem, low priority, D8]
-116 When econ orders frame comes up first the many little text areas appear with no frame around them then the rest appears. Not critical, but any ideas how to fix this? It didnt happen in D5. [low priority, that interface will hopefully be completely replaced for D8]
X159 (MacHatter on a Mac)Buttons in population transfer dialog are too narrow (text on the "transfer xxxx" button is truncated) [D8]
-160 (MacHatter on a Mac) Path finding problems-units don't use roads, even if it would be quicker
TF at 11,12 goal is 5,8
Road from 7,14-5,11-5,9
Default path (5 turn)
better path(4 turn)
TF at 3,12, goal is 7,14
Road from 4,12-5,12-5,11-7,14 (arrives 2 (first))
Default path (arrives 2 (2 turn 2 markers))
Better path (2 turn, (1 turn 2 marker))
(Mark says) not sure if this one is really a movement bug. There is a bug, but it may be in the little red circles that show turn numbers. I duplicated the results posted by Andy, and verified by pgrignon, but they Don't Match actual movement times, which are 5 turns in either case. [med D8]
-163 (Mark) Triremes not on build list in Delenda, neither is the cavalry unit Hannibal has [med D7.3]
X164 (Mark) When population of a square is taken away so that square pop is now 0, square doesnt change possession when conquered. At least it appears to take special circumstances for it to be conquered, although it can happen eventually. It appears the code to change square possession is ignored if pop = 0, suggest the test become if the square has an administration it can change hands. I looked for the code, but couldnt find it after about 15 min of looking around, so I quit. [Med D7.3]
Workaround: never remove all population from a square, just leave a few and its ok.
-166 (Heffalump/Mark) It looks like a bug has crept into the unloading menu code. Below is the way it usually works.
To unload:
1. put the ship on a coastal square
2. left-click on either a ship in the carrying TF or the carried TF and select the unload option.
That's it.
It looks like the bug is making those unload options not appear at first. This results in a very short set of options. A work-around is to select the transporting TF with a mouse click. This makes at least the unload option for the ship appear. Selecting the carried TF seems to make the unload option appear for those.
X167 (Heffalump) - In the Rome/Carthage scenario I retreated to Rome, made a stand and defeated Hannibal, then counterattacked north. I recaptured my northern city and pushed on. Then Carthage had it's greatest victory. I divided my 8 or 9 unit army up into multiple units, then tried to re-form it into 2 separate armys .... and it just disappeared. Gone. Oh well, that put a serious crimp in my invasion plans! (The bug seems related to one of those assign unit to TF commands).
I've played around with it a few times and as best I can tell, here's what I think happened:
In the Carthage/Rome scenario
1. Pick Carthage
2. Goto the big stack at 2,4
3. Split the big TF into seperate TFs using the respective command
4. Right click on Hannibal (which is probably the default selected unit) and click Assign Unit to New TF
We're now in a situation where none of the Units are "selected" but the commands to do things like Add Unit to Selected TF are still visible. Use that command on a unit (without "selecting" any units) and you'll see it disappear into space.
Similarly, right click on a unit and do "Merge units into selected TF" and they will all disappear.
Command line switches (Must be in command line mode (FE batch file) to use):
-ef = error logging to a file
-noAI = no AI movement
-seed = random numbers use constant seed for reproducible behavior
-800x600 = start in 800 x 600 res mode to simulate 800x600 screen
-allecon = allows access to economic orders/info for non-player civs
-nopatrol switches off patrolling in addition to militia. Patrolling lets militia be formed for defenders even if a square is empty of friendy units, and militia will help in the order: Those who discriminate less against them, those whose preferred ethnicity they are, the defenders.
Full information on command line switch usage is in the testbed readme file

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A downed light pole on Powers Boulevard in Colorado Springs backed up traffic for about 30 minutes Monday.
The light pole, which was in the median just south of Galley Road, fell onto Powers around 11:40 a.m. and was cleared before 12:30 p.m. The pole was initially blocking the inside lanes of traffic in both directions, but crews moved it onto the southbound lanes, leaving only one lane open until they could get it to the shoulder.
Southbound traffic was backed up as far north as Constitution Boulevard.
The pole did not hit any cars when it fell, and no one was hurt. Utility crews did not give a reason for why the pole fell.

"My husband and myself and our adult son booked two rooms. Our room (Van Buren Hannah, in the Carriage House) was spacious, comfortable and had a good fully equipped kitchen, and a separate living area. Our son's rooms, Van Buren, Martin was smaller without a separate living room. Cornell Inn provides substantial and delicious breakfasts with a wide variety of food to choose from. The view from the Breakfast room is charming as it looks onto a very pretty garden complete with little waterfall and backed by a peaceful forest. Room rates were expensive in comparison with other places we stayed at. However it was peak leaf-peeping time, so probably anywhere in the town would be expensive. Hostess very friendly and welcoming."

Though looking to get 2 chairs, I purchased only one after reading mixed reviews of the color of the fabric. After opening up the box and putting it together (pretty quickly by myself), I ordered a second. The chairs are comfortable enough - not exceptionally so, but nice enough to sit on for a movie or football game without issue. These chairs look great! Clean lines with a bit of piping detail on the sides and nice origami like folds at the shoulders. The fabric itself is a cream (slightly on the yellow side), with copper, gold and nickel colored circles that are shiny, but not metallic. The fabric did fray a little in a pillow corner, but a quick snip and it's unnoticeable. After purchasing these, I saw the same fabric used (in a blue instead) on Devine Design. Bonus!
One of the reasons I shop Overstock is because of the loyal customer reviews, they have never steered me wrong. I just received the Anna Asian Fan chair today and couldn't be happier. My sister and I had it out of the box and fully assembled in less and 30 minutes. I had read reviews saying it was difficult to put together but we didn't seem to have trouble getting everything to line up. The fabric has a slight sheen to it, I think it's beautiful and works well in my room. It's a golden ivory with beige, pewter and deeper golden brown circles. If you are looking for a "cooler" tone you may not like it but if you are looking for warmer beiges it's really nice. Very comfortable to sit and read a book or watch tv. I'm thinking about buying a second one I just have to make sure I have the space. I would say it has a slight Asian influence, my room isn't Asian at all but it still works perfectly. Thank you Overstock fast shipping and superb product especially for the price! I saw a chair with the exact same fabric at a furniture gallery, the chair was $699!
I bought two to go in my living room. The chairs were easy enough to assemble. I was a little disappointed with the weight limit of 250 because that means I have to worry about my guests sitting in it. My husband is 6'5" 240-260 depending on if he's running or lifting, and he knows he isn't allowed to sit in it, but for guests... that isn't really a topic of conversation you want to have... " sorry, you can't sit there. You look a little too heavy." Another issue I had was that one of the chairs had a premade screw hole that was a little off, so when I finished putting in the rest of the legs it was a little wobbly. It isn't very noticeable because we have carpet and people don't sit in it often but I can tell when I sit there. The seat cusion feels nice but don't lean back in this chair. It doesn't see sturdy enough to lean back in. Overall, the chair looks very pretty and acts as a great accent to my livingroom. The chairs are pretty light so it is easy to move them around. This wouldn't be a sit in everyday chair for me, but more of a decorative chair that people can sit in if needed.
Love this chair we bought , couple of days back. Shipping was free !! and these are a steal at this price.. have been looking for an Accent chair for a long time , and have seen all major furniture outlets .. but this one stands apart ... Very Comfy and elegant looking !! ... I would definitely buy another one , if I move to a larger apartment
I've purchased lots of furniture from Overstock for use in our model homes and staging business. This is the first item I haven't really liked. The fabric looks cheap, gold and tacky, sort of like a material that one of the Golden Girls would wear, or someone's grandmother's mumu. Also, the screw holes on the chair back did not line up at all, and after messing around with it for an hour, I just ended up drilling new holes and using some heavy duty screws of my own. But it was shipped quick!
Easy to put together. Looks great, love the style!
I am very pleased with this product! It is the best purchase I have made to date from this website. It is the perfect size, very comfortable and very stylish. I purchased it on sale, but would purchase it at full price considering the quality. It was very simple to put together.
We moved to a bigger place and needed additional seating to fill in the space and accommodate guests, so it is not really for frequent use. The chair is beautiful and the design and colors match the pictures online. The seat is pretty wide and it's deep so you can sit and cross you legs pretty comfortably. The back is high but tilts backwards a bit making it not exceptionally comfortable. It's also a little hard, which is not unexpected for an accent chair. In summary, if you are looking for something that looks nice and may be used a few times here and there, this chair is perfect and should match with just about anything.
these chairs are big and sturdy, perfect for what i needed. the only con is that you're sitting so far back when you're sitting on them so theyre not the most comfortable that way. but if you have a foot rest, its much better.
I bought this chair as an accent piece for the bedroom and it works perfectly (i.e. it holds my husband's clothes well!) It is true to the color shown, the material is elegant and it is sturdy. I've sat in it to use my laptop and found it very comfortable. My only complaint is that it does take two people to put it together - trying to fit the back onto the dowels in the seat on your own is impossible! I would definitely recommend this chair.
