It's not the table of love, but it's perfect for this space, sports leveling feet for my unlevel floor–and was a vintage bargain to boot. What's not to love? I should have done this sooner—a proper dining table changes everything! For example, as photo two shows, it makes a pleasant place to read the latest…

Made of a high-tech closed-cell rubberized stuff, they conform to your feet, maintain a non-slip grip and are highly ventilated, making…

woo-hoo! The English bookshop had a hardcover copy of 'In the Company of Cheerful Ladies', the latest in Alexander McCall Smith's series of No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency tales. Pure, pure joy to read.
