In a parallel-world 21st-century San Francisco where the Kaiser's Germany won World War One and went on to dominate the world, Paul Gomes and his father Lawrence are secret agents for our timeline, posing as traders from a foreign land. They run a storefront shop called Curious Notions, selling what is in our world routine consumer technology-record players, radios, cassette decks--all of which is better than anything in this world, but only by a bit. Their real job is to obtain raw materials for our timeline. Just as importantly, they must guard the secret of Crosstime Traffic--for of the millions of parallel timelines, this is one of the few advanced enough to use that secret against us.
Now, however, the German occupation police are harassing them. They want to know where they're getting their mysterious goods. Under pressure, Paul and Lawrence hint that their supplies comes from San Francisco's Chinese...setting in motion a chain of intrigues that will put the entire enterprise of Crosstime Traffic at deadly risk. Curious Notions is the second book in Harry Turtledove's Crosstime Traffic series.Binding Type: Paperback

Smaller than expected.
Size: 8 cube
The directions were complicated with only image directions. One person can put this together. It took me about an hour. The item is smaller than I expected. The image is misleading. Definitely not waist high for an adult. More like thigh height. Guess I should have paid more attention to the measurements instead of the image. It looks nice when assembled. For the price I expected something taller.

Great for the price — OffiGo 8 Cube Organizer Bookcase, Modern Farmhouse
Size: 8 cube
I bought this for myself after reading about it online, and it's been pretty solid so far. It works as advertised for daily use and fits into our routine well. The build/quality feels good for the price, though I noticed a minor issue that you should be aware of.

Nice entry way table
Size: 8 cube, Size: 8 cube
Great-looking 8 cube organizer with a really nice finish. The color is beautiful, and the top has a slightly matte stain that gives it a clean, modern look without being too shiny.
Assembly does take two people at certain points, as you’ll need someone to hold pieces in place while aligning and securing them. Not difficult overall, just easier with an extra set of hands.
It’s a bit shorter than a typical entry table, but the width is great and it offers plenty of storage space. Perfect for organizing baskets, shoes, or everyday items while still looking stylish.

Anyone with multiple monitors should buy this
I have been wanting something like this for years. I use three monitors, and keeping them all aligned is impossible. I've considered using tape, but that seems like it would lead to a sticky mess and it would never hold well. I imagined some solution with magnets, but never came up with anything that I thought I could implement myself.
As soon as I saw this product, I was ordered two sets. I knew that this was either going to be a revolution, or a huge disappointment. It was not a disappointment.
Installation is simple as can be, clean off your monitor back with some alcohol wipes (they should consider including some, would be a nice touch). For my screens, alignment was super easy because they have really square corners so I just stuck my aligners right at the corners and it worked great. For a screen with a curved back or something more geometric you probably want to get the screens in place first, then stick both parts at the same time. Either way, they stuck really well and the pads are flexible so they would work on a curved back just as well as flat.
The brackets also have a locking part that allows you to slide them side to side a bit giving you more flexibility in mounting, and then you can lock them down once everything is lined up so they hold nice and firm. I also managed to screw up and put the wrong part on the wrong side, but luckily if you unlock the bracket you can slide the main part off of the adhesive part completely, so I was able to simply swap the two main parts without needing to peel the adhesive part off. It's a well thought out design and I was impressed by just how much flexibility there was in the mounting solution while still allowing for a very easy installation and rigid final setup.
The magnets are strong, strong enough that if I needed to move a monitor regularly it would actually be annoying because while you can definitely take these apart they hold way too well to be doing so all the time. These are clearly intended for a permanent installation, without making it overly difficult to take things apart if you have to. If you have to turn a screen often though, such as to show something to a client or make the screen visible from another area of the room, I'm not sure if these will be what you need as they don't just come apart easily. If you want your screens to stay where you put them though, they are awesome!
For me, these were perfect, and based on the design I think they should work well for most monitors and most setups. I'm so glad this product exists, it was well worth the money.
