Cheap KAUFMAN - Craps Table 30in x 60in Beach, Bath, Pool Towel. (101258)
I was slightly disappointed with this item. I bought it as a Christmas present for my husband, and decided not to give it to him as a gift because it is so cheaply made. I realize the price is low, but the towel is barely thick enough to soak up water, and is scratchy so it isn't good to use. Over the summer, he basically used it to cover deck chairs and start conversations on the beach. It is funny and neat to look at, but not to use.

Review of 70 x 120 (Rectangle) Tavern Check Tablecloth, Hand Loomed Cotton
I purchased the very large 70 X 120 cloth. It is wonderful to wash (but beware of shrinkage). Does not require ironing. My only disappointment is that the yarn does not seem as heavy as similar cloths I bought years ago. Shipping was quick, which was a positive. Will purchase again in another color.

This is a great table cloth. My only complaint is that it is not reversible like my old one is.Best Deals for 70 x 120 (Rectangle) Tavern Check Tablecloth, Hand Loomed Cotton
Lovely tablecloth but even with washing in cold water and line drying, this table cloth shrunk at least 10 inches on the long side and 5 inches on the short side making it too short for my table. Just be aware that, with washing this tablecloth will shrink. In my case, I am ordering another one, one size up. Otherwise, it is a lovely tablecloth.Honest reviews on 70 x 120 (Rectangle) Tavern Check Tablecloth, Hand Loomed Cotton
This is a very nice, heavy-duty tablecloth. I have washed and dried it twice, and it only shrinks a little bit (which is what I wanted). Very well made, good material. Doesn't need ironing if dried in the drier on low setting, but it will shrink a little as it tells you in the instructions included with this item.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 70 x 120 (Rectangle) Tavern Check Tablecloth, Hand Loomed Cotton
Love this table linen!! I ordered 24 napkins and 5 different tablecloth sizes. You could say I stocked up. I searched long and hard before finding this product. I am 1000% pleased. The company warns to expect a good bit of shrinkage and they were correct. Just take that into consideration when ordering. It sets a lovely table, not too dressy, not too casual. Reminds me of my mother's beautiful table linens.Reviews of OurWarm Lavender Organza Table Runner 12"x 108" (Inch) Wedding
Buy Cooler Master Comforter Air - Pillow Lap Desk for Laptops
I have owned before 2 different laptop coolers. The Targus Lap Chill Mat AWE55US, and the Logitech Cooling Pad N100. Neither of those lasted even 6 months before they died. The Targus was big sized, so maybe a lil more ideal for my Dell XPS 1640, and it did live longer than my logitech, but the logitech seemed to cool better than the targus...at least for the first 2 weeks. After that, the logitech started slowing down, not cooling as much, and then quit altogether. So I decided to try something different and just bought the Cooler Master Notepal LapAir after reading all the statistics on air flow for it.
I've had it 3 days so far and have run it non-stop aside from when I go to bed I unplug it. The fan is pretty quiet (more quiet than the fan inside my Dell), and it really does move the air!!! I use my laptop on my lap, so was hoping the rear intake vent would help with the issues most all other coolers have of intake from the bottom, and it does. The rear intake is also nice because that means I can set the laptop on my couch for a minute and not worry so much about it sucking in more dust. It is fairly comfortable on my legs too, though it does feel a tad heavy. I was concerned about the type of fan it has in it because I've never worked with a 'blower fan', I've always used the standard style ones with the kind of curvy blades and I saw other coolers that had my eye simply because of the standard style fan in them and the large size of the fan. But let me tell you, I do NOT regret buying this kind, it really moves air!!! And amazingly, it feels colder than the air in my room. In fact it makes my legs cold so now I'm using a throw blanket on my lap because I lost my lap warmer!
This is a good thing though because my computer is performing much better, much cooler to the touch, and able to handle my games. I've been playing LOTRO and Second Life, both fairly video intensive and my laptop used to have trouble even on lower settings. The FPS are not suffering at all so far. So in summary, this is one powerful laptop cooler definitely worth the buy! I can play games I couldn't play for months because it is really powerful at cooling! I no longer worry about burning the skin off my hands, my laptop barely feels warm at all to the touch. I haven't tested internal temperatures (lots of other review sites have), but I know by it's performance my computer is running much cooler.
The only negatives I have really aren't negatives, but could be improved: 1. It's a little heavy on the lap, not bad, but lighter would be better. 2. I would love if it had an on/off switch instead of having to unplug it, but as a tradeoff I guess unplugging it reduces the risk of damaging the cord/usb socket by accidental bumps. 3. The USB cord sticks out way too far. I like that it has USB pass through, but am pretty sure they could engineer that to make it smaller, but function over form all in all it's ok. Highly recommended and would buy again because the performance on this is fantastic, the real test now is to see it's longevity! Hoping it can last at least a year unlike my Targus and Logitech. We'll see :)
The design works well for either using on your lap or on a table. It has a cushion pad and a rubber strip on the bottom. It can be used with both 15" and 17" laptop computers. My 17" fits just right. Fits in a bag made for 17" laptop computer.
The fan provides enough air flow to be as effective as a device like this can probably be and is reasonably quiet. Seems to keep my internal fan from running as much. Draws air from the back and blows it up against the bottom of the computer (check your computer's air flow design, this works perfectly for mine but may not for other computer designs).
This design would've lent itself to including a 5"x7"-8" slide out mouse pad, but sadly, it is not included. (Maybe it will be in the next USB 3.0 pass-though, no-slip coating version?!)
I knocked off one star because my laptop wants to slide toward me and off the cooler when I'm using it on my lap. Some kind of soft rubbery no-slip coating or a prominent lip at the front/bottom would have prevented this, (and it would have earned 5 stars.) Works just fine on a table.
A big reason I went with this unit is the fact that it pulls air in from the back, not the bottom as most do, which allows me to use it in my lap.
The fan has a very low hum which is typical of any fan; they move air and that DOES make some noise after all! It's physics, not magic. The noise is so low that you'd have to be unrealistically picky to care; and if there is any ambient noise at all, you essentially can't even hear it. It moves plenty of air and I've noticed a significant difference in the temp of the warm spots on the bottom of my laptop when I use it.
The only thing I can really complain about is that the cord coming off of the connector blocks the adjacent USB 3.0 port to the one I'm plugged-into, and it would be nice if there was an option to power it separately from my laptop.

After reading the reviews concerning this product I was a bit hesitant to order one. The prime reason was that quite a few reviewers complained about the excess noise that the Notebook Cooler produced. I decided to take the complaints with a grain of salt & see for myself because I have found out through experience that you cannot believe everything that you read in product reviews. For some reason, whether it be that they did not use the products as the manufacturer suggested or they tend to exaggerate their findings. I am happy to say that after trying this Cool Master Laptop Cooler it has been one of the best investments I have ever made. Before I had this item my laptop got so hot it almost burned my legs & I had to put some sort of pad under it in order to continue. I have been using my laptop for about two hours & I am now typing this review with my laptop resting on my lap on the Cool Master and the bottom of the cooler pad is cool as a cucumber & all I hear is a very slight sound from the fan that is no louder than the fan noise that comes from the laptop itself. The USB cable stores in a groove underneath & there is a groove on either side to enable you to plug the handy USB plug into the most convenient outlet on your laptop. Once the USB plug is inserted into a USB socket it has a feature that enables you to plug another accessory into it if you find it necessary. I haven't had it long enough to utilize the easy fan cleaning option yet. All you have to do is lift the small tap to remove the metal mesh screen that covers the fan unit to lightly vacuum the fan & the housing. I can honestly recommend this product to anyone that is considering buying a quality laptop cooler that does what the company says it will do & the price is right as well...Best Deals for Cooler Master Comforter Air - Pillow Lap Desk for Laptops
This cooler seems sturdy enough although I haven't had it long. The USB power cord is cleverly contained in a groove on the bottom and can be run to either side of the computer. It also has a USB pass-through connector so you don't loose a port. (I believe it is USB 2.0. Unfortunate, since all four of my ports are USB 3.0) The cord seems a little lightweight but adequate.The design works well for either using on your lap or on a table.

Honest reviews on Cooler Master Comforter Air - Pillow Lap Desk for Laptops
I like that it is large and gets good and even airflow across the back half of my 17-inch laptop. However, it is noisy and the indentation along the sides at the front of the platform make it so larger laptops like mine have to be positioned just right so it doesn't slide around as much. I also wish the the pad on the bottom was as wide as the top. In the end I leave the fan off when not gaming and it serves its purpose for a small price.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Cooler Master Comforter Air - Pillow Lap Desk for Laptops
For the money I think this thing is excellent. Some of the reviews complained about the plastic construction; but it's a rigid plastic that has more than enough support for my HP Pavilion dv7. I also like the metal mesh in the area where it's needed. This mesh is also pretty rigid and allows air flow where it's most effective.A big reason I went with this unit is the fact that it pulls air in from the back, not the bottom as most do, which allows me to use it in my lap.

I first saw this pitcher when I was looking for the same thing but with an ice core instead of the infusion core (which just happens to be made by the same company). I thought it was a great concept; and since I'm always looking for ways to add more water to my diet (without having to drink plain old ordinary water), I decided to give it a try. I was immediately hooked!
Here are a couple of things that I've observed:
Distilled water works best.
Depending upon what type of fruit you use in the core, it can take up to two days (or more) to get a really good infusion. Citrus fruits tend to take longer to infuse than berries.
It's a good idea to add water to it each time you pour yourself a glass. Two reasons: first, the newly added water will mix with the already-infused water and will take less time to become flavored. If you wait until the pitcher's mostly empty, it'll take a while to get a good infusion. Second, a smaller amount of "new" water will take less time to chill than if you were to add a whole bunch of new water.
And here's a hint: If you make your own lemonade (from scratch), try using orange-infused water to your lemon juice instead of plain, unflavored water. It adds a wonderful touch of "something" that you can't put your finger on (you KNOW there's something else in the lemonade, but you just can't figure out WHAT).
And, lastly, a suggestion: don't wait for berries to come into season! Just use frozen ones (strawberries, raspberries, mixed berries, etc.) Because they've been frozen, they tend to infuse better than fresh ones. I recently used half a package of frozen raspberries. As they thawed they immediately began to turn the water red and by the time they were completely thawed, I had a lovely shade of red raspberry water. Being a "sweetaholic", I add a packet of stevia (AKA Truvia, but I prefer the Whole Foods brand of stevia) to my raspberry water and it tastes like a healthier version of raspberry Kool-Aid!
Another thing I didn't like is how the lid does not seal up the top opening. The lid is open at the spout which means food odors and bacteria can enter this at will. I don't want fruit that is exposed to the air sitting in standing water in my fridge. It sounds like a perfect environment for mold.
And thirdly, the tube that holds the fruit takes up most of the space inside the pitcher leaving hardly any room for the water. This pitcher is smaller than it looks in the picture and with the tube inside it there is only enough water for about two glasses full. It is much too small to be practical as far as the amount of water it will hold.
I do very much like the idea of drinking fruit infused water and I will be looking for a pitcher that overcomes these issues. This also took about two weeks to arrive from the time I ordered it. It was well packed and a fairly nice looking pitcher so I gave it two stars for that. I feel that many people will like this pitcher if they aren't bothered by the things I mentioned.
edit:
I found an octogon shaped glass container with a small spigot at the bottom that holds a gallon of liquid, very nice looking, with a lid that seals tightly at the big box store that starts with a W. I will put fruit in it with the water. The spigot should solve the problem of the fruit getting poured out of the spout when you pour water from it.

Let me start off by saying that I have never reviewed on amazon before, but felt compelled after buying this pitcher. I treat every item I own very delicately (I am a very poor grad student) and yet over time this pitcher (which looks much cheaper in person than in the photo) started to develop spider web cracks all along the bottom. Normally I would let this slide, the functionality is present, but when you spend $20 dollars on a pitcher you would hope it would hold up more than a few weeks. Lastly I originally bought this pitcher on amazon, but have since seen it at marshalls for $7.99.Best Deals for Prodyne Fruit Infusion Bottles and Pitchers
I got this beautiful pitcher to encourage me to drink more water. It works! I fill this pitcher each evening with tap water and put it in the refrigerator, and by next morning I have tasty, subtly fruity, cool water ready to drink. I then leave it out on the counter during the day, to enjoy the eye candy, and to remind me to drink it. The fruit doesn't have to be changed every day. The instructions say up to a week is okay. I change it every for to five days because I leave it out during the day. So easy to change the fruit, too. Cleaning the pitcher is a breeze. There are no tiny spaces to trap food residue, it is just a pristine clear pitcher to show off your clear water and pretty fruit. I got one for my sister, too, and she loves it. Best of all, the water is great, and so "green". No plastic bottles to recycle, no filters to change and throw away. Just delicious water to enjoy.Honest reviews on Prodyne Fruit Infusion Bottles and Pitchers

I've had this for a little over a week now and am VERY happy with it. My biggest concern was if both my 17.3" Dell Inspiron 5720 and my mouse w/ mousepad would fit nicely on this table without either of them sticking off the side and they do! And for once the stopper at the edge of the table is just the right size to actually stop my laptop from sliding off without interfering with my typing. My table had some dust on it and odd streaks that are only noticeable in the right light, but I think this is just "warehouse wear" and nothing that affects the product's quality. The wood is hard and smooth with a few bumps but no splinters and the black-coated metal looks just as durable. The stand that holds your laptop at an angle stays in place without wiggling and the legs, although there are no clips holding them in place, require some pressure to move around so they won't slip when the table moves. I don't use the legs often but I did try it and they are high and wide enough that you can comfortably work in bed or on the couch. As for the weight issue it wasn't much of a burden for me. I'm a young woman and this thing was pretty easy to carry around. Of course with my laptop on it it's much heavier but not so heavy that I can't make the short walk between my bedroom and the dining room. I think the only con for me is portability since you can't fold the table in half or anything like that.
It was my fault I assumed it would adjust high enough so I could use it while standing by my desk and working on my laptop
(doing too much sitting on my computer) I wanted an alternative for sitting)
I have a plastic one and bought this one for my husband but I have to get him the plastic one instead.
I am only 5.4 and still it will be too low if you plan on using it for that.
the 4 stars was for the difficulties of adjusting the legs out. It took 3 adults. One each holding 2 knobs in and 1 to hold down the table while the other pull up. It took lots of yanking, pulling and some tools and oil and was about a 10 min. process. We almost gave up assuming it's not meant for adjusting!.
So it definitely was not tested before it went out.
The only drawback (for me) is the bar that goes across the bottom to keep the laptop from slipping doesn't go all the way across the table. I sit in a recliner and surf the web while watching TV and I use the right hand side of the table. The bar does extend enough on that side to keep it from slipping altogether, but to make it slip proof when I shift around I bought some of the non slip stuff that goes under rugs and cut it to fit and layered it under the laptop. Great buy---I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I holds my 15.6" laptop on the fold-up part pretty well, with an inch or so of extra space, and the entire second flap for mouse room (enough room to comfortably play games that need a mouse, or surf the internet). I use it on my bed, and it's made using my laptop much better (for both my back and my laptop's heat sink!)
The one flaw I've found with it so far, and the reason I give it 4 and not 5, is that the legs are very rounded. This means that when you have it on a bed that moves a lot when you get up/sit down, it will sometimes topple over. Obviously, this is bad for something expensive like a laptop. It's not ridiculous or anything, It's mostly a concern with really fast and big motions. I'm worried that my laptop will end up flying off my bed and onto the floor when myself or something else forgets to be careful getting up. That being said, if you are careful above extreme movements, or fold it up before getting out of bed, it works just fine.

The stand that holds your laptop at an angle stays in place without wiggling and the legs, although there are no clips holding them in place, require some pressure to move around so they won't slip when the table moves. I don't use the legs often but I did try it and they are high and wide enough that you can comfortably work in bed or on the couch. As for the weight issue it wasn't much of a burden for me. I'm a young woman and this thing was pretty easy to carry around. Of course with my laptop on it it's much heavier but not so heavy that I can't make the short walk between my bedroom and the dining room. I think the only con for me is portability since you can't fold the table in half or anything like that.

This is a great table if you are planning on using it for sitting or laying down. Stable, solid, nice looking.It was my fault I assumed it would adjust high enough so I could use it while standing by my desk and working on my laptop
(doing too much sitting on my computer) I wanted an alternative for sitting)
I have a plastic one and bought this one for my husband but I have to get him the plastic one instead.
I am only 5.4 and still it will be too low if you plan on using it for that.
the 4 stars was for the difficulties of adjusting the legs out. It took 3 adults. One each holding 2 knobs in and 1 to hold down the table while the other pull up. It took lots of yanking, pulling and some tools and oil and was about a 10 min. process. We almost gave up assuming it's not meant for adjusting!.
So it definitely was not tested before it went out.

I love this table! Extremely well made and very sturdy. Arrived in perfect condition with no blemishes to the wood finish and ready to use. It is slightly heavy therefore good and stable, the legs are adjustable and can be moved all the way out for flat surfaces or legs can be moved in for using in a chair. The part that raises the laptop has four adjustments to meet just about any need.The only drawback (for me) is the bar that goes across the bottom to keep the laptop from slipping doesn't go all the way across the table. I sit in a recliner and surf the web while watching TV and I use the right hand side of the table. The bar does extend enough on that side to keep it from slipping altogether, but to make it slip proof when I shift around I bought some of the non slip stuff that goes under rugs and cut it to fit and layered it under the laptop. Great buy---I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Honest reviews on Kings Brand Foldable Adjustable Laptop Stand For Table, Sofa & Bed
I ordered this because I was tired of sitting my laptop on my lap while doing my college work. It would get hot and I had to bend over a lot to type things in, it was just frustrating. Not anymore, this thing is great. It is the right height, so no more bending over. So far it seems very sturdy. I could not be happier with this product. I thought I may have a problem since I have a memory foam mattress but so far it works just fine.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Kings Brand Foldable Adjustable Laptop Stand For Table, Sofa & Bed
I bought this product when my old lapdesk broke. I've only had it for a little while, but so far I like it quite a bit. It's metal and seems pretty sturdy, but it's also pretty lightweight. The legs will stay tucked under the desk until you pull them out (my old one's legs would fly out and lock into place when you picked it up), which is great for easy storage/moving. You can pull out the legs to make it taller, which is a nice feature.I holds my 15.6" laptop on the fold-up part pretty well, with an inch or so of extra space, and the entire second flap for mouse room (enough room to comfortably play games that need a mouse, or surf the internet). I use it on my bed, and it's made using my laptop much better (for both my back and my laptop's heat sink!)
The one flaw I've found with it so far, and the reason I give it 4 and not 5, is that the legs are very rounded. This means that when you have it on a bed that moves a lot when you get up/sit down, it will sometimes topple over. Obviously, this is bad for something expensive like a laptop. It's not ridiculous or anything, It's mostly a concern with really fast and big motions. I'm worried that my laptop will end up flying off my bed and onto the floor when myself or something else forgets to be careful getting up. That being said, if you are careful above extreme movements, or fold it up before getting out of bed, it works just fine.

Turkish Towel Peshtemal for Hamam Bathrobe Spa Pool Massage Sauna Review
The color is better than even pictured. What a great product thee foutas are...better than regular beach towels and so versatile....Not at all what I was expecting. It was thin, poorly constructed material. Not fit for use as anything more than a rag.

Much too lightweight; when my dog jumps up onto the sofa, it slips off. It would probably be okay for someone who doesn't own a pet over 15-20 lbs.This couch cover is more comparable to a table cloth. I would not say that it had a soft/comfortable fabric or anything comfortable about it when placed on the couch. I understand it is a drop cloth type cover, but with it's awkward measurements, it looked very weird on my loveseat. It didn't cover it top to bottom, but had almost 3 feet of hanging fabric on the sides. The picture and description are also not adequate for the item. When you zoom in, you can just barely see a swirly like design, but I did not notice it when buying and it was not mentioned in the description of the item. I was under the impression that it was a solid red and was displeased to find it was embellished when I opened the package. Would not recommend purchasing. Unless you need new curtains or a table cloth for a large table!

Looks very nice, does not look cheap, easy to put together did it myself but asked my husband to align the drawers (instructions enclosed). I'm very happy with itBest Deals for Lafayette Cherry Vanity Table With or Without Bench
This is a good quality desk by today's standards. Overall My wife and I both like it. It had a million pieces to assemble and the box it came in was VERY beat up but the desk was fine. Drawers needed adjusting to close. I would get another one.Honest reviews on Lafayette Cherry Vanity Table With or Without Bench
Once assembled, it looks very nice. The finish is quality, and I found the size to be perfect, with enough leg room. The deep drawers were important to me and the mirror is big enough and you don't have to worry about the weight of the hinged side mirrors. This comes in a box unassembled, and it does take some time to put together, but the cost makes up for the time it takes to assemble. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lafayette Cherry Vanity Table With or Without Bench
Unfortunately the left drawer was cracked all along the top and the middle drawer does not open and close easily! The manufacturer has responded (slowly) and sent repair pieces. However, they sent the wrong piece for the left drawer. I am waiting for the correct piece! It has been 6 weeks that this process has been continuing. The finish is great and perfect for my needs, otherwise I would send the entire piece back!Reviews of Waterford Table Crosshaven Tablecloth
This tablecloth was very nice and it looked beautiful on my table, however it was not at all the color depicted on either the website or on the packaging. It was much golder than shown, which I was okay with, but that others may not expect.This BEAUTIFUL table cloth is elegant and exquisite. Pearl white color is just right. It enhances a dining room table or a portable table for an outdoor special event. Although the fabric is a blend, it looks like cotton. I plan to purchase another one.
