Simplicity at its best
Looked at these for the longest time and finally bought one. It’s perfect on my coffee table. Can’t wait for my grandkids to enjoy. The simplicity it what I especially appreciate.
Kind of flimsy.
I’m going to have to glue parts of it together as its falling apart a bit. Also it would be nice if it some color. Brown is not very cheerful.
It’s the first thing out of many I’ve gotten from you that isn’t wonderful.
I love this
I am so pleased that I went ahead and purchased this item. It is beautiful and beautifully made. Charming
