Question: What kind of person is the poster?

To begin, I'm a bit of a sheet snob. Before I found these, if it wasn't 1000+ thread count, I wouldn't bother. But I saw the high reviews and breathability claims and thought I'd give it a shot...and have since ordered another set in a different color and don't think I'll go back to plain cotton. Normally I shy away from prices this low on items that seem foreign to me, but this fabric is light, super soft, cleans well, and warm. Colors are true to form, the sheets fit my deep mattress (17-18"), and I'll definitely order again if/when I need new sheets.

Question: where was the spoon purchased?

I can't say enough about these spoons. I bought one years ago and love it. It is great for scraping cake batter from bowls, scrambling eggs, making a roux......and much much more. I used to use a cooking spoon, spatula, and have a pile of stuff to wash after, but not anymore. I just bought another one here on Amazon because the red one I have has a few cut marks about 4 or 5 inches from the tip (I think from using it as a spatula to get all of the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, etc. out of cans when I am emptying them into the pot. I can't say for sure, but that is what I think has happened) Not that it matters, because I use the red one daily still and will probably get at least another few years out of it. I just bought another one in case I can't find them when it finally wears out. The only downside is it is not a very deep spoon so saucy items and soup-based items are not a good match. But for everything else, it is hands down the best and most versatile cooking spoon I own. This coupled with a nice deep ladle, tongs, and a turner and you have all the kitchen tools you need. As a housewife cooking for my family for almost 25 years, I highly recommend this product :)

Question: Why don't they wear in the house?

We don't wear shoes in our house so our carpets don't get extremely dirty; it's more about cleaning dust, pollen and general grime. This machine is perfect for that. If you have pets, kids & lots of dirt, you may want a beefier machine.-It's really easy to use & comes apart so you can clean it up after each use.-3-Speed Brush including "brush off" so you can just pick up spills. Handy when I overfill a houseplant & need to get that dirty water off the carpet quickly.-Brushes come off so you can easily clean them.-Tank is easy to unlatch, clean & refill.-Does a good job of sucking up the cleaning water so your carpets don't get drenched & they dry faster. The forced heat feature also helps with drying.

Question: what new review score was given to the product in stars?

This thermos works great. I don't love the top/spout. It seems a little over complicated but it works fine. But I have left the thermos with hot tea in it for hours in the car while it was 0 degrees American outside. The tea was still hot when I got back. One thing to keep in mind is that the more liquid you have in it the better it keeps warm.edit:I am revising this review from 5 stars to 3 because the lid leaks when pouring, randomly but often. I contacted customer service and they told me to buy a new one. I would but I own 2 of these thermoses and they both do it so I don't think it is worth it.

Question: How much time did the reviewer have it up and ready to go?

Can't even express the awesomeness of this garment rack other than to say it's so good that it's made me enthusiastic about a garment rack.It arrived almost fully assembled--literally all you have to do is unfold it out of the box and pop in the horizontal bar. They even put the wheels on for you. I had it up and ready to go in less than two minutes, and that included opening the box.The entire thing is welded steel, so there's nothing plastic to bend or break on it. I have on mine a couple winter coats, my wedding dress and some suits and there's only the slightest dip in the horizontal bar from all that weight. I was also able to easily roll it with all those items on it, and maneuver it into our attic closet. In my opinion, it's worth every penny!

Question: When did I ordered the item?

These are fabulous tablecloths. I needed 10 for a charity event so I wanted a good product at a good price. I couldn't have done better. I ordered 10 ivory ones (two different sizes) on a Saturday night and they arrived by Wednesday. The quality is much better than even more expensive ones. I like the true hemmed seams and the nice weight of the fabric. The best part is the stain and wrinkle resistance of the fabric. When our event was over, we had to clean up and pack up quickly; so the tablecloths just got balled up and put in a huge bag. The next day, I pulled them out to wash them and saw that the one from the wine table was covered with red wine stains. The one from the dessert table was also filled with many stains, including chocolate. I considered just throwing those two away as I was sure they would not come clean. To my surprise, they came out spotless! These are ivory tablecloths that now look just as good as they did new, even washed in cold water. (I wash all of my laundry in cold water with Tide Cold Water detergent.) I have already bought two more (in round sizes) to use in my home. My only disappointment is they only come in white, black, and ivory; if they came in more colors, I would order more.

Question: How does the user describe the attractiveness of the skillet?

have had this beautiful skillet for about a month now and at first food just slid off it amazingly well but even in such a short period of time it has lost its non-stick quality and now requires scraping when trying to remove food. all recommended care and use guidelines were followed so this shouldn't really have happened. its too bad too because this was my favorite pan when it arrived.

Question: What are there lots of coming off the product?

Some issues:1. Italian, Egyptian? But not cotton. Morally questionable if not outright false advertising.2. LOTS AND LOTS of loose threads discovered while unpacking the sheets. Honestly, I would expect something this thready to be sold at a discount.3. I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green.Would NOT buy again, but... they're okay.

Question: What brand is the product?

Leaked after a few weeks... the worst part is, PUR said it's not covered under warranty because it's a "wear and tear" item. It sits on the counter, I have no idea what wear and tear that causes on the internal gasket. They kept me going in circles and after the 30 day satisfaction guarantee expired, they then told me I could have returned it within the first 30 days but now it's too late. For a product based on the razor/razor-blade business model (I'm sure the real money for them is made from the filters, not the pitchers), this is a horrible way for them to deal with the situation. Oh, and I had another one crack by itself due to temperature differences (it was in the fridge). When it works, the water is great, but it needs to stay contained in the container.

Question: When did the author put his steak in the pan?

The package that this arrived in was much bigger than I expected, but it was well protected. My initial complaint would be that there were no instructions. Not even a "how to care for your new pan" pamphlet floated out of the packing material. I would think that for an item at this price point you would at least tell the purchaser how to care for it.The pan is solid. I liked the stainless steel handle for the "ooh shiny" and a bit of high tech effect. I washed it before I used it. I put it on the double burner on my ceramic top. Let it heat up for about 3-4 minutes. I tested heat by dropping water on it. When the water bounced and sizzled, I put on my steak that I'd had marinating.Make sure your exhaust fans work. Naturally it threw off a lot of smoke. I did 3 minutes per side and got a gorgeously marked steak. If you pay attention when you flip, you can get nice crossing on the grill lines. The steak was done a little more than I like but I can just shorten my grill time next. The veggies were more problematic in that they stuck. I think as the cast iron gets seasoned more, that won't be as much of an issue.Storing it is an issue in my tiny kitchen. It might be nice if the handle collapsed out of the way or was removable. All in all, I am glad I got this via VINE. For someone like me who lives where there is a "no flame" HOA rule, I can still get my grill on. I do think this will help me eat more healthily as well. Less grease is always a good thing.

Question: What pieces are not even used by some people according to the author?

In a previous review I stated that I was new to baking and decided to buy a decorating kit.When I started buying different size tips, I found that I couldn't get one coupler to fit the larger tips, so it turned out to be a real challenge to find the right couplers.I later found out that some people don't even use couplers, they just drop the tip into the bag, but I really didn't want to go that route.This coupler set covers anything in the intermediate range.I have one extra large for a tip that I rarely use, a set of couplers for the small tips, and these couplers, which fit all the mid size tips.All bases are covered, they do a great job.

Question: How many pieces are in this set?

I'm tired of plastic containers that eventually look cruddy (try putting chili in one) or newer pieces of Pyrex/Anchor Hocking glassware that easily break. They are no longer made using borosilicate glass, and increasingly consumers (like me) are left to deal with inferior quality. Lock & Lock glass containers are made from borosilicate, and their pieces offer many qualities essential for kitchen/entertaining use.I appreciate containers that can withstand oven, microwave and freezer use. With proper care, these look like they will hold up well. I like the simple design and attractive lids--food looks appealing enough to serve "as is." No need to switch out to another bowl when serving to company at home or at away get-togethers.Make sure you know what size pieces you are getting. The picture for this eight piece set makes the containers look larger than they actually are. This set is ideal for empty-nesters or recipes that call for about two servings. The two identical square bowls are only .48 quart size (that will hold a little less than 2 cups of something) and the two round containers are 1.37 quart (6 1/2 cups) and 0.8 quart (about 3 cups). These are definitely not going to serve a crowd.All in all a nice product, but I wish they were more reasonably priced.

Question: What is this product mostly use for prior to grilling?

Been using this product for 6-weeks. Works great, single hand operation is nice. Would recommend using rechargeable batteries or you'll be buying six AAAs every month. I use this primarily for seasoning meats before going on the grill.

Question: What is the main problem with the product?

I must admit I had my doubts at first. I have used a lot of similar products in the past and have always been disappointed. This is the first wine chiller that really works! As cold as the wine is it will remain at the same constant temperature during an entire meal. So far it has passed the one hour test. The only minor difficulty in in removing the bottle from the cooling container. the chilling panel hugs the bottle so tighly it is a little difficult removing it. But it is probably because of this design that it is so effective in keeping the bottle of wine so cold. It is ideal for white wines.

Question: What is really easy to use?

The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out. I really like the bun warmer and it has been handy a few times already. Basically the buns just sit on pop up rods over the toaster and the heat from the toaster warms them up. The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly. I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges. This toaster is really big, but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it.

Question: What's a pro of having a bigger plate at the top?

Works as intended...I wasn't sure I needed the bigger plate at the top (versus the original), but found out why it's a good thing...less mess lol. I made my own ground beef burgers with bacon...definitely good and you know whats in it. I have used it a few times and it's worked flawlessly each time.

Question: What is the price of the pan the day after I ordered it?

I used this pan for the first time yesterday after watching it for months on Amazon. I made an orange chiffon cake and it released beautifully (I did use some cooking spray) and looked very professional. Makes a great presentation with very little extra effort. I did wash by hand as I would like to preserve the finish on this pan for as long as possible; the crevices didn't pose too big of a problem (not like, say, washing the Nordic Ware garland mini bundt pan by hand). It has a nice heavy feel to it (as their Platinum Collection products tend to)and I would say I'm very satisfied. I ended up getting it when the price dropped to twenty-five dollars, but the day after I had ordered it the price went down to twenty-three dollars. Amazon apparently does not do price adjustments anymore, so I couldn't get that difference in price back, but just be aware that it has gone that low in price and if you are patient and don't need the pan in a hurry it will likely go down in price again. Free shipping was great.

Question: What company makes this product?

Do not waste time and money on any other bread maker!! We make dough in a bread maker at least once or twice a week. Always went with models on sale and they eventually and gradually stop working. This is definitely worth every penny. Easy and well-written directions. Will now venture forth to BAKING in this appliance. So many appliances come with inadequate instructions. The Zojirushi comes with a book of excellent recipes and clear directions. It is the most helpful of any I've seen throughout my life. It encourages the baker to try new methods and new recipes.

Question: What should be done before staining?

I received the table very quickly and in perfect condition. I just gave it a quick wipe down, conditioned the top and began staining the top and painting the bottom, it's looking great and the wood is a nice quality. Though if you plan to stain, not paint you'll need to give the top a little sanding with 220 grit before applying poly coat.I was so glad to find this table in 36" and with drop leaf, it's a pretty great price too in my opinion. (Though, I wish it were made in America...) it's going to be great for my breakfast nook in the kitchen.

Question: What material is the baking mat made out of?

Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. Food comes of easily, it fits my pans perfectly, and clean up is a dream. A little soapy water, a quick rinse, and it's perfect! I've used it for cookies, biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap! I love it. Definitely considering adding more to my kitchen tools (seriously - who doesn't love something that makes their lives *easier*???) and will be gifting to friends and family!

Question: Do the dishes have any decorations?

This set is much prettier in person than in the pictures.The first thing you see when you open the box is the Use and Care Instructions which are positively ridiculous. Things like "Never nest the mugs", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". Yeah like the average person is going to do that. Get real! So it was with some trepidation that I opened the individual boxes to see just what I had gotten myself into.In actuality, the dinnerware is attractive and seems fairly heavy. I have some rather expensive sets that have chipped and cracked a lot more than I think this will. I am a ceramic artist and have a pretty good sense of the quality of a piece by the heft and manner of the glazing, and this seems like it will be fine. Of course anything is going to chip if it gets banged excessively into and out of cabinets and dishwashers.All in all I am pleased with this and expect to get good use out of this, or at least until I get tired of the pattern. :0)

Question: What should you check before purchasing?

I have two of these - one 7-slot and one 14-slot tray - and the two together fit perfectly in my kitchen drawer and hold all of my knives and honing steel. My 14-slot-tray is Wusthof, and the 7-slot is Victorinox. They are made very similarly, but the Victorinox seems to hold the knives a little better. My larger chef's and santoku knives fit better in the Victorinox, where in the Wusthof they seemed like they didn't "seat" well in the slots.Overall, this is very well made and is exactly as described. It seems to be high-quality wood, and looks very nice in the drawer. I've had several compliments on them already, and have only had them for a short time.If you're looking for a way to organize your knives in a drawer instead of a butcher block, then you don't have to look any further.Just be sure to check the dimensions to make sure it fits in your drawers! (both length, width, and height!)

Question: What kind of material is it made from?

I bought this because of the price. It was one of the cheapest ones available on amazon. It feels like a very durable plastic and it's built well. I don't know if its BPA-free. I really wish it is, but in the packaging it doesn't say it.There is a little dip in the middle where it meets the handle, so if I am microwaving a food that is slightly tall in the middle, it would definitely touch. I give it 3 stars because it works really well, gets the job done, and price is good, but noticed a couple of splatters when I was microwaving tomato-based sauces. Also this thing condenses like crazy, water would be dripping from the sides. It gets the job done, for basic microwaving tasks. But I wouldn't buy it again.

Question: What kind of noise does this make

I am trying to do what I can to keep allergy free so this is another product in that effort. After experiencing a bad bout of sinus issues last year I bought this and other cleaning tools to eliminate dust and other stuff that is floating in the air. So far the regimen is working but I am not sure how much this contributes to the overall effect since this is not in a busy area of the house. I will say that it is not overly loud but it does make some noise (more like white noise). Overall I am happy with purchase and the product is still going strong.

Question: Where would it be a hassle t find these hangers?

My closet floor used to be a magnet for slacks. No more! These wonderful hangers hold onto a pair of slacks with a vice-like grip. Even the heaviest, thickest corduroy pants can't get away. The pincer-like holders have a rubbery padding at the tips, so no there's no damage to fabrics from the strong squeeze.The slacks sit rather high on the hanger, so they're less like to get lost among the other garments in one's closet. Another plus.I used to be so short of pants hangers, that I'd hang two pairs to a hanger. This makes getting slacks out of the closet quite a struggle and also loosens the grip of the hanging mechanism over time. I'm so glad I thought of looking for hangers on Amazon. Finding them locally would have been a hassle.I don't stack these hangers, but use them individually. I'm completely happy with them.

Question: What was the problem with the product?

I have been watching this desk for months. I read all the reviews and when it went down in price with free shipping, I decided to take my chances.The desk arrived within days, to which I was very pleased. As said by other reviews, there was not adequate packing materials to protect the wood. I inspected the pieces of wood as I removed them from the box and noticed a split on the front piece to the left of the keyboard door. I thought if it had to be damaged, why not in a less visual area. I used some wood glue and fixed the problem. Assembly took less than an hour. I just needed a phillips screw driver for the screw behind the knob on the keyboard door. The legs came with their own tool for the nuts/bolts. The wood is beautiful and matches the honey pine furniture I have in the room where this desk is now located. I have a 22" flat screen monitor and an HP printer on it and have plenty of room to work. The actual PC is on the floor under the desk. There is room for it on the desk, but I don't like a cluttered look.Again, this is one of those items that you have to take your chances hoping it is not damaged with you receive it. I doubt the company would reimburse me a percentage off due to the damage. I decided to live with the damage as it would be too costly to return it and take my chances on a new one, which could be damaged even more.Less the damage, it is a great quality piece of furniture.

Question: What was the poster excited about?

I was excited about the shape of this water pitcher since my Brita pitcher took up so much valuable space in my refrigerator and this one does not. The profile is quite slim and attractive. However, the filter is very shallow and takes a while to filter the water before you can fill up the entire pitcher. Also the lid is difficult to remove and replace. It's a bit clunky and awkward.I do like that the filter has a timer that you press to activate that will tell you it's time for new filter. I'm curious to see how much the filter replacements costs versus the Brita pitcher. Even if it is cheaper than the Brita, I think the Filtrete's seductive shape isn't enough to justify my attention.

Question: What size unit did the reviewer buy?

great rice cooker. The instructions are a bit vague but, you can figure them out. There should be a chart relating American rice types to the Asian types. But, a little trial and error figures it out..The features are poorly explained in the instructions. For example, the timers. One neat feature I discovered is that you use the markings in the rice pot to load it (use the cup that came with the unit to measure rice), select rice type, then push the start button and forget it.The fuzzy logic will cook the rice properly, shut off and turns on warmer. This is really neat. The rice is always just right never over/under done.I live on fried rices, Basmati and Jasmine are my favorites. Basmati is brown, follow brown rice directions.

Answer: This is a 5 cup unit

This is a 5 cup unit .

great rice cooker. The instructions are a bit vague but, you can figure them out. There should be a chart relating American rice types to the Asian types. But, a little trial and error figures it out.. The features are poorly explained in the instructions. For example, the timers. One neat feature I discovered is that you use the markings in the rice pot to load it (use the cup that came with the unit to measure rice), select rice type, then push the start button and forget it. The fuzzy logic will cook the rice properly, shut off and turns on warmer. This is really neat. The rice is always just right never over/under done. I live on fried rices, Basmati and Jasmine are my favorites. Basmati is brown, follow brown rice directions. Jasmine is white follow white rice directions.

Question: What makes for a nice bath upgrade?

What makes the Pinzon Hotel Stitch Shower Curtain, Silver Blue, stand out is its stark whiteness. It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory.The curtain itself, when paired an inexpensive liner, makes a nice upgrade to one's bath, and if it proves truly washable, then its value is cinched. But the sheer expanse of white also poses a potential target for all manner of liquid soaps, shampoos, and rinses. The true test lines ahead in the heat of bathing.

Question: What are the 3 messes associated with cats?

With two cats, little messes--litter, catnip, fur, food--are inevitable, but hauling out the big vac is more of a production than I can usually be bothered with. But my last hand-held vac was a total waste of time and money. It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) Granted, this was about 10 years ago. So it was with some trepidation I selected the Pet hair Eraser. As it turns out, I am reasonably satisfied with it. It has a decent amount of suction, although of course it doesn't do as good a job at the big vac. It picks up litter and cat food quite well, fur and catnip slightly less well. But for a quick tidy-up, it certainly serves its purpose well. I've used it for maybe 15 minutes now and haven't had to recharge it. I do have to empty it after every use (a good sign, really, that it's functioning well). The filter does clog up, but it washes easily.My one big complaint is about the "integrated crevice tool." It's not really a crevice tool so much as a narrow opening for the vac itself. It's not really narrow enough to be a crevice tool, and not really big enough for the vac itself. I wish they hadn't gone for the compromise here.

Question: How much does the bed cost?

We have friends that sometimes will have a few too many and end up staying the night at our place with some frequency. The bed in our guestroom isn't the most comfortable (so we've been told by family and our friends). I saw this on sale and thought it'd be a good purchase, and it has been. We've had three separate comments since the switch about how comfortable it is to sleep on our guest bed. I'd definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to change the feel/comfort level of a bed.I wish I had something like this in college, as it blows the standard "egg crate" away. Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's hard to justify not spending $100 or so to vastly improve your quality of life.

Question: What other size bread machine does this manufacturer sell?

I would say this is the best breadmaker ever, but it's the only one I've owned. After careful consideration and reading other reviews, I picked this one almost 3 years ago... and I'm so glad I did! I know my bread is going to turn out great every single time. Want everyday bread for sandwiches? Done. Want a fancy bread for a special occasion? Done. Want to make dough or jam? Done. Like I said, I have no idea what's even in the bread aisle at the store because I can easily make it all at home.It's only me eating the bread, so I find this size to be about right - I can eat it up before it goes stale. If I ever need to upgrade to a 2lb loaf, there's only one brand I'll consider.

Question: Where does the reviewers favorite pan have a permanent resting place?

Most of us have a favorite cooking utensil, knife, pot or pan. Some we even leave out just to have when you need it in short notice. My everyday, calphalon one nonstick is just that pan. It has an almost permanent resting place on one eye of the stove but for one simple reason: it is the best to have for the most part. Mine is several years old now and without equivocation it is as clean today as it was when first bought. That is of small relavancy when you compare its ability to cook the food you prepare. That is the most relavant issue and this pan excels with vigor.

Question: is the grinder loud?

Having ground coffee for over 40 years, this is one of the best. Does the job just fine. Is easily adjustable. Can clean burrs with relative ease. Not too loud. Probably as silent as practicable, given the task. My only concern is the electronics. What happens if they go? How much to repair? At $200 a pop, you simply don't throw it out. At least, I don't.Update: This grinder is under powered. I returned the first one because it regularly needed to be thoroughly cleaned out before it would work again. What is regularly? How about every few days or after 3 or four grinds. The second one is now doing the same thing only worse. Looks nice but ................Breville also gave me a hard time about returning it the first time until I became very firm. When you speak to a rep, they tell you what to do to make the grinder work. I can always get the grinder to work today after I clean it but tomorrow is the question. Do you use oily beans, they ask? What difference should that make to a $200 grinder? Those beans never bothered my Braun or Kitchen Aide burr machines. Bottom line, this is a very pretty grinder that's over priced and under powered.

Question: What is a must for installation?

At 20 inches long and 6 wide it's rather unsightly in my kitchen. The can crusher works like a charm though, doesn't quite squish the cans as flat as the old stomp method but it does reduce them at least by half. It won't take anything larger than a standard 12 oz can.A wall stud is a must for installation as it really does pull to smash the can. I'm sure if the unit were smaller it would need a lot more force to use so I won't gripe about the size of it as it is easy to use.I think I'll be painting it white so it'll blend into my kitchen wall a little better instead of this huge black thing on my wall w/ it's additonal very large black (I opted not to use the American flag decal) collection bin that really is a must have addition.It's going to be a welcome addition to our household and will sure cut my trips to the recyling center down.

Question: What does the appliance make that is delectable?

I love this appliance! This one is corded, and if I were to replace it, I might get a cordless... but this one shows no signs of "getting tired" and I use it a lot. I love the extra accessories. It makes delectable mayonnaise - healthy! And does a fine job for pureeing soups or making really creamy mashed taters (or other veggies).

Question: How many slow cookers did they use?

These are fantastic! I slow cook, ALL the time. I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey, in slow cookers! I typically use the name brand ones found at my local grocery store, if I get them on sale I can get 2 boxes for 5 bucks, so, 8 bags total for 5 dollars. With these I got 25 for 10 dollars. You do the math. They worked just as great, if not better. No bubbling like the ones from my grocery store, they held up, no mess at the end of the day, I threw everything away, and I used 7 slow cookers, if that tells you anything. They fit my 1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart slow cooker.

Question: What does the author use the hamper for at home?

When I went off on a college internship, I knew space was going to be tight. This hamper is very durable and great for taking your items to the laundry and then toting them back to your apartment. The Pocket on the side is great for keeping all your detergents at hand especially if there are doors you have to open or even 3 flights of stairs in my case; great to have at least one hand free when walking. The best part of this hamper is the flexibility of it. If you don't need it you can fold it flat, and even twist and fold it up to just about the size of your hand. Even now back at home, I still love using this hamper for toting my cloths to the washer and dryer. This hamper beats a traditional cloths basket any day, hands down.

Question: where does the cable come out

I bought these as soon as I moved into my apartment, I didn't want to go through the process of hanging my speakers on the wall and run the risk of something happening to them. With that being said, it doesn't take long to get these put together and the cable management is really good, you're basically running cable through the base of the speaker stand and out the bottom... I have to unfortunately run it through the perimeter of my living room so even though the cable management is great I still have noticeable cables around. Other than that, the price is good for this you're basically mounting the speaker onto the stand with a screw that goes through another cable management bracket on the back of it.

Question: what tends to wear off of the pan

The good thing is they are cheap for 2. The bad thing is the coating wears off. I have the 12 inch in storage... too large to use daily. But the 10 inch coating has worn off and is chipping off. I need to throw this away... dangerous to injest this coating. My husband is not wanting me to toss the pan at the end of it's lifespann but I know it is not safe to eat from this now that it is chipping and peeling. What else works other than stainless steel? I want a durable pan that LASTS. I will use it 1-3 times a day. I like the idea of nonstick. Might have to go back to stainless steel.
