  • Tiffany - Beautiful

    Followed directions and it saved a table my uncle had made when I was just a baby. This table had been left outside at a hunting camp and after using these products everyone asks where I bought it! Truth is it was on its way to being firewood and not will have many years of family dinners and homework and crafting and all sorts of things in its future! Thank you for such a wonderful product!!!

  • Lntpowers - Finally, a anti-aging product that works

    This product is the closest thing to prescription Retin-A that I've been able to find. As such, the same precautions should be used (like avoiding sun exposure). In the few weeks I've been using it I have seen real improvement in dark spots, and smoother skin. It's a really good product.

    Bought for purposes of not hitting garage door and it serves. Reception not as good but I mainly listen to audio books on my commute so again it serves my purpose.

  • myrtle - Maybe yes, maybe no

    Smells great, but I don't have the oven clean yet. Does take off the top layer. Too afraid to use the clean oven function on my range so I'll keep trying. This is kind of expensive to use. Don't know if I'd order it again. Smell is terrific though and not caustic.

  • Tanya Sullivan - Perfect for the busy mom's bookclub

    Well written short stories that do not require too much of a time commitment. Nice variety, fitting many people's interests.
