First it was an invasion of (very welcome) grandkids, then my our son and six other Army officers (including the groom …) showing up for a wedding. We needed another bed to fit to accommodate an existing mattress and we went for the product as an inexpensive fix to our periodic population surges.
It worked.
The frame is very easy to put together. I concur with reviewers who have noted that a mallet is handy but not required. All the pieces fit together correctly. The concave curve the wood provides flexible and therefore cushioning for a reasonably full-bodied sleeper. Everybody who has used this bed has slept great without their attention being drawn to what’s under them.
The only indication of fragility came a week later when I was leaning with one knee on the bed while installing a screen in the window behind it. With my 200+ pounds pushing down on that one knee, I managed to break one of the slats. I cannot imagine this happening to a person sleeping on the bed, so it’s not a flaw in the product, rather a recognition that this kind of wood-slat bed is not identical to a traditional metal frame, box spring, and mattress (nor is the price!).
Having recently seen the effects of 15-year-old Lasik surgery wane and moved (back) to eyeglasses, I’ve rediscovered how annoying it is to have smudges on my sense. Truth be told, I used to use a shirt-tail to wipe my glasses back in my Philistine stage. Part of being a certified Grown-up may well be carrying something decent with which to clean one’s glasses.
This product has made the past forgettable. It’s sturdily built, has space for more than one thick document (like passports), and is altogether serviceable as a new leather travel companion.
The film is clearly designed to showcase Judd’s beauty and talent. She’s not short on either, but the enterprise stretches itself a bit to make the point.
The Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen makes a middle aground accessible: you can get near fountain-pen quality without the complications of an ink well. I’d say you can get 75% of the way to beautiful writing with this pen.I experience only two downsides. First, the ink does not flow quickly upon first writing. Sometimes substantial ‘warming up’ is required. Second, over the approximately four orders I’ve for these pens, the quality has been uneven. One of the orders, if it was in fact the legitimate item, had significant quality-control issues.
