I couldn't afford the Eames Soft Pad Management Chair so I bought a copy off of Ebay. It lasted a little over 90 days before the tilt spring gave way and the spindle came through the chair pad. I...

I bought some LED bulbs on ebay and they were around $15. I see them at lighting stores for around $20. The mass merchandiser big box stores haven't introduced them yet. I would say they will be...

Yep this would be just the vacuum I need to tame the deep purple geometric ring runner and matching rug I put in the livng room. Thy look so good after a vacuuming and they need a vacuuming every...
