Outstanding resource for designers, 30 Jan 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Designer's Guide to Furniture (Hardcover)
Ms. Crochet has demonstrated an unique ability to bring what is ordinarily a complicated subject to an easy to understand appreciation of the design of furniture throughout the ages. It is understandable why this book recently won an award from ASID (American Society of Interior Designers). A great find for anyone who is interested in applying this knowledge to an interior design project, collecting antiques or furniture. For the pro and the amateur alike.This book helps to understand the relationship between furniture design, architecture, and interior design. Great illustrations, photos and easy to read!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of The Antiques Road Show or HGTV.

Ms. Crochet has done her homework., 10 Nov 2000
By Andrea Campbell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Designer's Guide to Furniture (Hardcover)
If you are passionate about the origins of furniture and design, this is the resource for you. Pricey, yes, but I don't think it was meant for the casual home decor reader. It is more suited to the "die-hard" lover of furnishings, design history, and serious learners.I love it. It seems to fill a void; and promises to be the "definitive" book on the subject of furniture through the ages.

Waste of time and MONEY!, 9 July 2006
By Laith Abdul Hadi "THE EMPEROR" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Designers Guide to Furniture Styles (Hardcover)
Based on the reviews of this book I decided to buy it! To my absolute shock, I dont understand who wrote these great reviews??? They were probably written by the publisher or author of this book.
What a waste of time and money. Being a designer myself, i ve got every possible book on interior design, and furniture styles that are out on the market. Based on the price of this book, and good reveiws, I figured it would be a great addition to my collection of books and references. Its poorly printed, very bad paper quality, no detailed shots of the furniture pieces, and not worth the price whatsoever. I mean if the publisher is charging this price, then the least they could do is print it on good paper and have clearer pictures.
I am extremely dissapointed and returning the book asap.
If u enjoy throwing your money away on a small book with poorly printed pictures(aside from the info, which is fine)then this is the book to buy . But if you are looking for details of furniture, including the background and history, and worth every penny, then i suggest you buy (Furniture: World Styles From Classical to Contemporary by Judith Miller )
