Promising review: "We bought these chairs three years ago, leave them outside in the sun/rain/snow, and they look as good as the day we bought them. Heavy-duty, comfortable. We have a $900 Pottery Barn chair that looks a lot like these, and the quality of these is as good as the PB chairs! Good job, Ikea!" —Anna

Promising review: "I am using this on a balcony to grow herbs. This planter is large enough to fit a variety of herbs, and I can also see that it will support other plants. I hesitated because of the price, but it is well-made and sturdy, and you can drill drainage holes in the bottom. This is a great choice for container gardening." —Shari

Promising review: "This rug is everything I was looking for. I actually went into the store looking to purchase a similar style, but saw this one. It’s woven but flat, which makes it less likely to snag or start looking really worn. I needed something to match my new furniture, and the style and color were it. Just a fyi, this can be used indoors or outdoors. It’s in my living room and looks really good." —Angela

Promising review: "How does this outdoor speaker sound so amazing and clear? We were shocked in the store playing with the floor model and so excited to take it home.
