The item is intricate, having villagers and lighted villages placed throughout the tree, Santa in his sleigh is pulled by the eight reindeers around the tree's Star topper, and 3 trains circle within. I was concerned about its shipping, and found it very carefully packed. I haven't counted the number of songs the music box unwinds, but there are many, and the music is delightfully complex. The tree can be `on' with lights, music and motion or without the music box. You can choose to power it with either the adapter or 3 AAA batteries... instructions advise to not have the batteries installed when using the adapter. The unit turns itself off after an hour. I found that my new AAA batteries provided operation for only 2 or 3 plays (hours). The battery cover is held by a very small screw and with the tree being so very intricate, I am cautious when turning it over to unscrew the cover to remove/install new batteries - and hate to disturb the snowflake glitter. I've decided that for centering the tree on a table for company viewing on all sides, I'll use the batteries. Otherwise, for its viewing on a side table, I'll use the adapter. Empty nesting, holiday decorating is no longer enjoyable, but this lovely and more sophisticated décor gave back the pleasure.

GE 50 LED C-9 Warm White Energy Saving Indoor/Outdoor Holiday Lights with Constant On C9 Review

I actually purchased two boxes of these from a local home improvement center sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas of last year. I purchased them solely as ambient exterior lighting around my home. Since they looked so good, I decided to purchase two more boxes; however, that store no longer carried them since they were just a seasonal item (they only carry them during the Christmas Holiday season). So, I did an internet search and found them here on Amazon. The price was 'right', so I ordered two boxes. They arrived quickly and were just what I had ordered and what I had expected. Like another reviewer had mentioned, I too had lost a couple of the lenses which had 'popped off' one night during a freezing snowstorm. Unfortunately, because of their crystalline appearance/design, I could not find them anywhere. Fortunately, I eventually found them both after the snow had melted away. Evidently, those two lenses must've become unseated during shipment, because after 'snapping' them back into place, they have remained in place during subsequent freezing snowfalls. Their illumination is just bright enough for me and I really enjoy their subdued glow (not too bright and not too dull). Best of all, since they are LED, they hardly consume any power whatsoever and I have 'burned' these bulbs nearly every night for six months now. All remains well...cheers.

Adesso Hang It Up Room Divider Screen, Black Review

Adesso Hang It Up Room Divider Screen, Black

I am a bellydance teacher and sometime costume maker; I have a lot of hip scarves and other accessory pieces that need to be easily accessible and stored out of reach of my pets. I've used folding screens for this purpose before, and this one looked perfect for the job, with its hanging rack and small shelves.
It's not an expensive piece, but I would not buy it again. Several of the welds have broken in the time I have had it (less than a year), and it is both flimsy and tippy due to the way it is screwed together.

Aurora Glow String Lights Review

Aurora Glow String Lights
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't say enough good things about these lights. They're pricey, but it seems to be hard to find good looking solar string lights. They're hand blown glass, and absolutely gorgeous. There is a very generous amount of wire between the solar panel and the first light, so it's much easier to put them somewhere sunny for charging. They also come with hooks for hanging, which is a first that I've seen from any seller. These lights are heavier than the typical string light, due to the thick glass. They do glow for a long time at night. It's nearly 1am here and mine are going strong. The picture provided by the seller is very accurate to how they look at night. It's a beautiful electric blue, and it highlights the beautiful hand-made features of the glass. Perfect for mood lighting on your patio or in your garden.

These bricks look very nice once installed. Many of the bricks were hard to snap together. The kit only comes with 4 lighted bricks, so the picture is deceiving. You can buy individual lighted brick on the manufacturers' website, but they are $12.95/each. So it would cost quite a bit to get the look shown in the pictures.

biUbe Aquarium with Halogen Light, Black, 9 Gallons Review

biUbe Aquarium with Halogen Light, Black, 9 Gallons
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I first read about this thing in the NY Times and the article was generally glowing. Of course they only interviewed the owner of the company for the story. The thing that sold me in the article was that this was a super sleek design. The picture on the cover of the box certainly makes one think this as well. With just a little more effort this could have been an artful design - but the company skimped and it's really just a plain aquarium with some accessories in the box. First as pictured here the fish would die within a few hours. You need a (not included) heater in order to keep the fish in this picture. The heater is a big ugly unit that attaches via suction cups to the back of the aquarium. The round shape only makes things worse - it tends to magnify the heater when looking at the thing from the front. They skimped - a better design would have been a built-in sleak heater along the bottom of the unit. With the addition of the heater there are now 3 power cables running behind the aquarium. These seem to be artfully Photoshoped out in the picture. 3 power cables does not equal elegant design. In an all in one unit like this why not have a single power cable into the head unit - that would have been sleak. The pump on this thing is loud, as we found out there are much quiter pumps than the one that ships in the box. Loud pump does not equal elegant design. Along with the three power cables dangling off the back, an air cable also needs to dangle out there. Again you don't see this in the picture - a much better design would have been to build the airpump and air cable into the top peice of this unit.
I ended up returning it. I next went to the most reputable aquarium store in the area and had them build up an aquarium with the same specs as this one. It ended up being quiter, cheaper and in the end sleaker. I think that it is possible to make a more artfully designed aquarium, but the biUbe doesn't come close.
Oh and the NYTimes gets 1 star for their article as well.

The sophisticated biUbe takes the best-selling features of the biOrb and incorporates them into an eye-catching new shape and style. It’s a stylish self-filtering aquarium that bestows the soothing sensation of swimming fish upon any home or office. It requires very little maintenance. All supplies are provided, including air pump, ceramic media, 12-volt transformer, halogen light unit, fish food, water treatment, and instructions. Water and fish are all you need.The unique, built-in 5-stage filtration system combines biological, chemical, and mechanical filtration to keep the water healthy and crystal-clear for months between simple filter changes. The filter cartridge conveniently lasts up to 8 weeks, so cleaning the BiOrb is quite easy. Since the filter is barely visible at the bottom of the cylinder, it causes no obstruction of the underwater view when the biOrb is filled. The durable Plexiglass acrylic design allows a perfect 360-degree viewing angle, and the built-in 10-watt halogen light built into the lid provides full observation of the swimming fish any time of day. The black trim lets the biOrb blend into any desk, counter, table, shelf, or mantel. It measures 14.5 x 14.5 x 18.5 inches and is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.
