Customer Reviews

Dont be too critical!

For all you critics out there who have not written books but have instead just commented on them without really thinking about why they were written the way they are here is a second thought. Books are all different and some are good and bad, this book does not show to be any less quality and actually has some really nice drawings which are very helpful compared to those who have none at all. These peices of furnature range from a cd rack which is very useful around our house to a near-by coffee table that lies in our living room now. This book instructs those who want to learn some fairly easy projects that progress in difficulty even if you have the right tools. Why not have the something decorative and useful such as the cd-rack in this book?

Good, but not for the beginner

The furniture in here is absolutely beautiful, but don't bother unless you have some serious equipment like a table saw w/dado set, and a drill press. (Or a lot of patience and accuracy with hand tools.)

Fantastic

An absolutely fantastic modern adaptation of the Stickley style of furniture design. The projects are complete and easy to understand. The book, unlike others I've read, actually shows you the important things like how to do the joinery and how to do the finishing. If you like the mission style of Gustav Stickley (or prairie style or any other closely related style), you will LOVE this book. I can't wait for the author's next set of plans.
