Advantages: EXCELLENT FOR INTRICATE AND DETAILED WORK
Disadvantages: NONE THAT I CAN THINK OFF

...MODELCRAFT COMPACT FLOURESCENT TABLE LAMP MAGNIFIER MODEL NO PLA8093 It is a sad fact of life, that the older you get, in the majority of cases, your eye sight starts to deteriorate. Over the last few years, I have started to notice this. I am 41 years of age before you ask. I am also interested in constructing small scale models, which involves delicate painting. Unfortunately, the older I get, to be able to focus properly, I need to hold objects further away to be able to focus. Gradually, over time, this is becoming more and more inconvenient, as I need to paint my models at close range, and not at arms length. At some stage, I have nightmares that one day my arms will not be long enough to compensate. I have decided recently to do something about it, and have bought a Modelcraft Compact Fluorescent Table Lamp Magnifier... Read review

Advantages: Small, Inexpensive, Stylish, Simple to build.
Disadvantages: mmm, glass marks a bit too easily

...Ok I'm biased, i have 5 of these in my house. I just find them so neat, fit in anywhere and cost peanuts! RY is a simple side table from Ikea. It costs £9.00 and is very easy to assemble with 1 Allen Screw and 1 Bolt. It comes in three pieces, two of them metal, one tempered glass. The diameter of the glass is 40cm, and the table at its highest point is 69cm. So it fits well into corners of rooms. Assembly was so easy - if you can use a spanner and an allen key then you will have no problems. It takes under 5 minutes to do i promise! It is a great table for a lamp, as the glass adds a nice effect if you use a coloured shade for example. It is also good as a table for the side of a chair to keep remote controls on, and the tv guide! My only concern is that they are a tad difficult to keep clean, and if you have kids... Read review

Advantages: Huge. Soothing. Good value.
Disadvantages: Takes forever to heat up.

...A lava lamp is, in principle, very simple. It consists of a lamp, which heats up a glass bulb filled with a waxy solid and a liquid. These cannot mix together and must have very similar densities. As the solid heats up, its density is lowered, so it rises. This cools it down and it then falls to the bottom of the lamp, creating a strangely soothing effect. In practice, making one yourself would involve messing about with expensive and perhaps flammable chemicals, so I wouldn't bother trying. It is much easier just to buy one yourself. The Giant Grande Lava Lamp comes in two colours yellow and blue or yellow and violet. It is truly enormous at 27" and is guaranteed to be a focal point in your room. It is not called "giant" and "grande" for nothing! My lamp is a yellow and blue model. Although the product description says "yellow... Read review

Advantages: Brightly colored with lots of activities, holds babies attention, Reasonably priced, high quality
Disadvantages: needs to be more stationary, sometimes it slides, requires adult supervision if you have a climber

...Recently I had noticed Christopher was becoming bored with his rattles and other baby toys, so I decided he was ready for some “big boys” toys. I started browsing the Internet and discovered the Fisher Price Spinning Tunes Activity Table. It looked like it had lots of fun activities to keep him busy: bright colours, loud squeaks, moving parts! What baby could resist? I have been impressed with our other Fisher Price toys, so at the reasonable price of £29.74 I decided to buy it. I brought it home and Christopher absolutely loved it. As soon as I set it up, he started pushing buttons and stacking the blocks! ~ Description & Assembly ~ The Fisher Price Activity Table is proven to be an excellent educational toy. Made of sturdy hard plastic, it is a very colourful, fun developmental toy, which offers toddlers plenty... Read review

Advantages: grows with your child, fun, interactive, no batteries
Disadvantages: nothing really worth highlighting!

...It was over a year ago now when hubby and I were looking into getting some toys for our more and more active toddler (she was about 15 months old at the time) when we found what has turned out to be the biggest bargain ever in Argos. The Tomy activity table. We bought it for £5.99 reduced from £19.99. Well I went and picked up the big box and brought it home. Taking the pieces out it was obvious how it all fitted together. Two large chucky capital I shaped legs slip into grips on the underside of the chunky lime green top.(around 12 inches by 8 inches) On top of the table top is a darker green lid which makes the table useable as a table for doing activities on/eating snacks off etc but under this lid are the activities. My little Beth was instantly impressed with all the activities to play with. She stood up for ages at a time... Read review
