With keeping an eye on product reviews, I have found that there are lots of people out there that struggle with assembly. It is not easy for them even in the best instances, so if the directions are poor or the assembly takes some know-how, they may give a bad review. I am great at assembly and find that if the reviews relate to assembly problems I give it a shot anyway if other people say it is very good and sure enough, I have no problem.

You take a lot of trouble over that, but it really does encourage your viewers to stay…and return. I watch quite a few interior dec and DIY channels and nobody else makes that effort. I also like that you say *why* certain items aren’t to your taste, and don’t just go,”Oh erk, it’s awful!” The same for the “this not that” vids. The respect you give to other’s tastes is also unusual, I think. And, lastly, your stage presence is great. Light hearted, a few unexpected remarks etc. You always seem to be “up” and you cheer me up! I’m going to stop gushing and embarrassing you now, and check out some of those links.

Great video! I love how most of the comparisons were close to each other in price-the only real miss for me was the rattan armchair ($250) vs. the dish chair ($25). If a $250 chair is within someone's price range, they're probably not also considering one that's ten times cheaper, right? I'd love to see you continue this series using items priced similarly to each other, and to call out those prices like you did with the console tables in this video. Bonus points if both items are fairly cheap (if someone is sincerely considering the dish chair, what should they buy instead on that budget?) 😊

You make an excellent point about Target stock selections. The closer you are to their main offices or a larger urban area, the better the selection, and vice versa. Most retailers follow a grading system for store locations based on population and level of business, but wise retailers don't let outlying locations get degraded to the point that shelves are empty, selections sparse, or deliveries few and far between. Excellent video as always! I'd always rather hear your honest opinion about things than a youtuber pushing the products of the company sponsoring the video.

I truly like you. I grew up in the 1970's and most of the homes were by no means as chic as anything I see here. It was all bright burnt orange, avocado green or a mustard gold/yellow. In everything. Appliances, carpets, curtains. Yes, my Mom did have some fabulous clocks and lamps. My favorite in the era was the art deco style my grandma had. Now Grandma had a beautiful minimalist style. My other grandparents had a seriously vintage farmhouse out in Michigan with all vintage furniture. Beds with metal frames, original quilts on everything, hard wood floors with massive planks- like possibly a foot wide, vintage crocks, original washing machine. No plumbing! On one of our visits my Dad finally added plumbing to the house since Grandma had to carry water into the house as she aged. She had a houseful of real antiques. Sadly, a thief came to her home when she was severely elderly and blind and stole all the antiques from the house. We were living at the other end of the nation. So I started collecting from 2nd hand stores, garage sales and such. I have some great pieces but I'm watching your channel because honestly, it needs a bit of an update but I don't want to part with the true antiques I've collected.

While it's not my taste, the acrylic bookshelf seems much easier to clean than the rattan/cane corner bookshelf. I cannot even think of how to clean the latter, except with a Swiffer dust rag and a vacuum cleaner. Whereas the acrylic bookshelf can probably be cleaned easily with Windex.

That's true, but rattan that's not dusty with scratches and that creaks at night is not authentic :D while translucent shiny materials will show dust the next second after you've cleaned them. Acrilic will summon dust from your neighbour's house after you clean it, it doesn't even matter how squeaky clean you keep your own. I know because i'm typing this on a massive acrilic desk I've lived with for the last 8 years.

Yes, about animal print! I love your videos, your speedy talk style, and I trust your buy suggestions because you come across as a truly authentic person.

I have the Portola Hills Caned Console and can attest that it did take quite a long time to assemble BUT it is incredibly solid and sturdy - not a bit of wobble, so the three hours it took me (alone) to assemble was a small price to pay (other than the actual price of course, ha).

I love this series I get introduced to home decor I never knew existed like that walnut caning I’m in love with

@Nick_Lewis 3 года назад

I know, very cool. There is a chair at Crate and Barrel right now that is similar with the walnut detail.

An acrylic bookshelf is much easier to dust than that wicker corner shelf.

I'm a 76-year-old so no one seems to care if I like them or not but since you mentioned the people who don't like you, I want to speak for those of us who do! I like you!

I’m with Nick on the “I don’t like animal print because I don’t like animal print”. We don’t need a reason!

That acrylic bookshelf would be a nightmare. Never mind the dust, that stuff scratches if you look at it. I like the look of cane - until it gets snagged and/or starts to come apart, which it inevitably does. Then it looks terrible.
