Advantages: Superb quality, dry, strong and durable
Disadvantages: None I can see

...I bought one of these from www.taylorsgardenbuildings.co.uk . If you look at their web site you will see there are several ranges of cabins within the Lugarde Brand. I chose one from the Arizona range. There are a number of standard sizes and specifications but you can also have what they call a "Matrix" design, which essentially allow you to design your own building, selecting from a wide range of Window and Doors types and position them as suits yourself. Price varies according to your spec, but a standard 3M square in 44mm timber is £2K. Apart from Taylor's web site it is also worth looking at Lugarde's own web site at http://www.lugarde.nl/english/index.html You need to be careful to check your local planning rules, but in my case everything was OK as long as I made sure it was more than a certain distance from the house...

Advantages: Very good designs, 'pretty houses', spacious rooms, bought out by Taylor Woodrow
Disadvantages: Poor workmanship through using contractors rather than staff

...? They used to be one of the biggest Independent UK house-builders, and widely regarded as ‘one of the best’ in the business, using quality components and good contractors. During 2001, Bryant was bought out by the much larger Taylor Woodrow, who has fingers in all sorts of construction pies and opencast coal mining. They have subsequently become the residential building arm of Taylor Woodrow, giving them major financial backing, job losses, and a whole new portfolio of house designs. THE PRODUCT AND THE ASKING PRICE Our chosen home was a 4-bedroom detached property with 2 reception rooms, integral garage, downstairs cloakroom, utility room and en-suite shower-room to the Master bedroom. The asking price was £145,000 and included no extras, other than a tasteful fireplace, because apparently, the location, combined with Bryant’s quality... Read review

Advantages: sweet smelling, abundance of flowers
Disadvantages: can be prone to viruses and caterpillars

...Memories are made of this..............so the song goes. Well childhood memories can be triggered by many things. To some it is the smell of baking bread, to others it is reading a favourite book,but in my own personal instance it is the smell of sweet peas in a garden. My early childhood was spent in my grandparents' small semi-detached house at the back of which was a tiny back garden with a concrete path running straight through the middle. On one side of the garden was a high fence and every summer without fail my grandfather would lovingly plant his sweet peas. Oh the pleasure of being able to pick them to my hearts delight without being scolded for doing so and I can clearly remember burying my head in huge bunches of pale pink, lilac and white flowers wishing I could breathe that perfume in forever. His sweet peas grew... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and quick to disolve
Disadvantages: A bit on the expensive side

...the colours staying bright and unfaded. Ariel is made by is made by Procter and Gamble. there is a web adress www.ariel.info which answers questions on stain removal, what types of powers, liquids, tablets they sell and other information if your interested. When you open the box there are little packets of blue foiled wrapped tablets, two to each pack. These fit nicely into the drawers of your washing machine and dissolve quite quickly, leaving no mess. Each tablet is white with little blue specks and they smell like washing powder, I'm not really sure what scent it is, but they do freshen your clothes and make them smell nice. You have to use two tablets each wash and if your clothes are really muddy it's best to use three tablets. They work well at all temperatures of the wash, I usually put mine onto quick wash, this not only saves... Read review

Advantages: Pays for itself after a single use
Disadvantages: Less purchase with straight handle

...to hold it in place with your other hand. This has not made the job easier to assemble all this furniture but rather made it possible. Otherwise, half of the units would still be in the flat-packs in which they were delivered. No more blisters for me! But if I didn’t already have a power drill I think I would have bought a combined drill-driver as the trigger-style handle would make it even easier to apply high torque to screws. This driver still will go into places where there is not enough room for a drill-driver so I am still very pleased with it.... Read review

Advantages: Good value, range of products, quirky furniture
Disadvantages: waiting times, their easy to build kitchens and general building instructions

.... On "construction" day, armed with my instruction book, I sat down to watch my 10 minute Instruction video. This video was unbelieveable. There were a man and woman installing this kitchen. They made it look so easy. The video was in no particular order either. Starting on a wall cabinet, then moving to the sink, then back to the wall cabinet. It was incredible hard to follow and the only thing I got out of this video is what Swedish people looked like in 1980. Ready to start, I armed myslef with the necessary tools and attempted to put in my first unit. I failed miserably. This was the hardest piece of furniture I have ever built from IKEA. The instruction were not clear. Finally I decided this was not a job for me and inlisted the help of a friendly kitchen fitter who made it look like child's play. Perhaps it is if you've done it before... Read review

Advantages: leaves your furniture smelling nice, compatible with most surfaces
Disadvantages: can't be used on (some) bathroom facilities

.... Whilst using the wipes avoid them touching your eyes or cuts on your body as they will sting. Me and the Product Like I said in my other reviews, I am the sort of person who always tries to avoid house work, but there are times when it just doesn't work out and I end up cleaning the house. Mr Sheen wipes have always played a big role in my cleaning as they clean everything from plastic to TV screens. When cleaning the my glass table I never have to struggle wiping the finger prints off, they come off quickly and leave the glass table shiny with a fresh smell coming from it. The furniture does look very shiny after the wipe usage and dust stays away from the furniture for quiet sometime, which is always pleasing as it means less house work for me. Wiping the dust away from my T.V and other furniture in my house is made easy... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight,powerful,fast and efficient
Disadvantages: Small quantities of grass get blown away rather than collected

...at the end of it. This mower does the work while you fell you are not having to do much at all...feels like it could just float you along with it :))))))))) It has a metal blade and a tool to clean the grass underneath the mower and it has a faboulous folding handle that means the mower is brilliant to store and compact...flip the handle and it just folds in half...a dream. It has threee cutting heights you use the plastic spanner provided undo the central nut and slide a white disc in and tighten and voila.This lawnmower made cutting the grass a real pleasure...top banana....

Advantages: Can see out now
Disadvantages: Doesn't give me any muscles

..., the paint has stayed on. Be also careful for the children not to get hold of it, and if you accidentally get it in your eyes, splash some water in your eyes straightaway. The price for this was a bargain £1.49 from our local bargain shop.The size was a whopping 750ml. We thought it was excellent value, I haven't seen it anywhere else yet, but then I haven't been looking too seriously. Tescos only sell normal Mr Muscle and that's for a 500ml for £1.21. It's made by Johnson Wax and is not recommended for people without clothes, as it's streak free, lol.... Read review

Advantages: Stylish and simple.
Disadvantages: Expensive for what you get.

...expected it to be different from the reality. Take for example the fittings. They are pretty basic ones. With nicer fittings, the furniture would have made more of a statement. All I would say to people pulled into the Ikea conception, is inspect what you are buying and be sure that it fits your expectations. I think that I should have compared Ikea with other products available on the market before spending my hard earned cash.... Read review
