It doesn't appeal to me. The boxes seem bigger than what is needed for the actual objects placed in them. Exposed cords and spine channel lend a messy look.

I've heard the same re: lead. The ones we bought were manufactured in China, and my wife reminds me to wash my hands every time I touch them! The package even came with a lead warning on it - yikes.

HAaaa -- YOU try telling a cat where to sit!

but...they're hacks!

Jasmine: the types of plants that do well in a closet with no sunlight are artificial plants. My guess is those plants in the picture are plastic plants from IKEA.

Just don't put ANTLERS on your copper-pot ladder, like those people did!

the people freaking out about landlords need to chill! this tenant made her own choice and the consequences are hers. she's been there 5 years and probably has good sense about these things.

i feel like the commenters who are not in NYC don't really get how impersonal a lot of the landlord/building relationships are here. my brooklyn landlord has literally not been inside my apartment in probably decades, if that. she inherited it and has no interest in and no idea about what the units look like (and they are unmaintained, falling-apart tenements). if i left, she would rent it out again without inspection or cleaning. it's very common here, and ANY improvements done by previous tenants are usually very appreciated by future tenants!

Fabulous. However, that's a wrap-around deck, not a wrap-around porch.

and to think i thought those animal hide rugs were only used for staging every Corcoran apartment on the market! ;-)

i love all the grays, though.
