Add extra seating to any room with this CorLiving Antonio square bench. Group several of these chair-height stools around a dining table, or include one stool in a living room corner for easy portable seating. This CorLiving Antonio square bench can be used as a foot rest for additional versatility.

I bought this stool with the little Tub seat which is also here on Best Buy.com.
It is sturdy, easy to put together, and a good height to use as a foot stool or additional seating.
The material does not seem like leather as described, it seems fake and doesn't look, feel or smell like leather.
Over-all the price was perfect and worked out very well for what I needed.

First off, know that this chair is very small and very low. It is cute, sort of something you would see in a doctors office. My two young children love it because it fits them well!
The material on the site says Leather, however it doesn't look or feel like leather, is seems like fake leather.
Over-all, nice little chair, it is a must to get a stool with it to make it more comfortable, as really, the back of it is too flat. Also a must is a little pillow, to make the back of it more comfortable.
I had some friends over and they were surprised how small it was, however everyone said it was comfortable.
Over-all, recommended, but I would never pay more than the $200 I paid.

By the movie trailer this looked like a fairly good movie. While it sort of kept my interest throughout, it was very poorly written and extremely predictable. They were going for a Divergent style movie to kickstart a new series, however I never would want to watch this again and hopefully there won't be any more of them.
Worth a watch if you have a free RedBox rental or when it goes on NetFlix, but otherwise it was just a confusing mess which ended up being really limited in events and ended just as i thought it would. Acting was decent and special effects were fairly well done, but over-all I give it a solid pass.

Believe me, this is a fun game and as a Star Wars fan this game is quite enjoyable. The downside is there is no story whatsoever and no basic campaign mode. There is multiplayer and missions which replay similar battles at the familiar locations from the films.
I'm not a huge multiplayer, so this game seems to have been a little bit of a disappointment to me, however it is quite fun and good to play after a long day at the office. I purchased the Deluxe Edition for $10 more and I really don't think it was worth it at all. There is still the season pass to purchase for $49.99, and I think I may pass on that.
Recommended for a quick, sort and easy fun time. However not a good game to replay or get really attached to due to the lack of any sort of story or campaign mode.

Odd to the Point of Uncomfortable

I love movies, and I love weird movies. This is a very odd out there movie which has some very interesting visuals and out there ideas, however most of the film is highly gross and simply makes you feel uncomfortable and want to take a shower. The acting is great and the main character really does a great job of pulling you into her mind as she narrates.
Just a heads up, it is a German film with English subtitles. At the present time, it is also on Netflix.
Maybe recommended for a watch, but blind buyers beware as you may not want to repeatedly watch this.

I played this game before and after the large update. The update fixed many of the basic issues with the game, like the hugely annoying screen tearing, over-all game smoothness and combat issues. The game was almost unplayable before the update.
I picked this up on release-day mainly because people were saying it looked like Diablo and I have enjoyed playing Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition - PlayStation 4. I have played Demon's Souls as well, and thought it was great, however contained a very frustrating save-game setup as well as being largely difficult. Still a good game though. Lords of the Fallen seems to be a perfect blend of action-RPG and solid combat. It is fast paced and tosses you right into the action. The weapon menu system is almost an exact copy from Diablo, seems like they borrowed things from other top games.
Lords of the Fallen is highly combat oriented and while it's not a simple button-mash game, it also isn't too entirely complex. There is an enemy lock button which locks your eyes on that enemy, you simply need to rotate the enemy avoiding his direct hits and strike whenever you can. If done correctly you can easily defeat most enemies quickly.
What they did right:
+ Solid graphics, gritty with beautiful environments. Smooth running, besides when loading/saving.
+ Great save/checkpoint feature, making it quite winning as compared to Demon's Souls style.
+ The game is fun, and I never want to stop playing. It keeps you going with it's fast-paced action and enveloping world.
+ Takes up a surprisingly small amount of space on the HD. About 9gig (after the update, 5gig before).
+ Gives you the option to save, or to build up your xp points. Neat feature, but may cause frustration.
+ Has an old-school feel, with bosses and all.

What could use some work...
- Very uneven difficulty. Some enemies are extremely easy to defeat, others it takes 10 tries causing a lot of unnecessary frustration.
- At times the over-all game control seems sluggish and the combat accuracy seems off. Some of this could be caused by too much gear, slowing you down.
- The story is a little jumpy at times and really not too deep and meaningful. Due to this, you care little for the characters and what their objective is. The game focuses more on fun exploration and combat.
- Voice-acting is cheesy and quick.

I hear the game is about 17-hours long, and I plan on replaying it to achieve the Platinum trophy. It is a fun, great looking game and over-all quite enjoyable to play. There is a huge amount of frustration, depending on how you play and when you save.
Recommended, but be cautions to save if you feel you may get too frustrated and punch a wall. This is not a big hit game like Diablo, but it is fun to pass the time until something better comes out.

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you woke up one day to find the world transformed to one full of horrors? Lots of people have apocalypse survival plans, but do they really ask themselves how they would cope? It's hard to gauge how well you would deal with a life that consists of nothing but fear, because you've never really experienced it. But one thing is for certain — if you let the fear win then you don't survive. If you don't keep the evil within chained up under lock and key, then the horror will overtake you and drag you under.Dive into a world crafted by the father of survival horror, Shinji Mikami in The Evil Within. In a game that embodies the meaning of terror, you have no choice but to gather your courage, shut down the fear and let your adrenaline carry you away. Explore highly crafted environments full of the stuff of nightmares and contend with the horrifying anxiety of constantly fighting to survive. An intricate storyline weaves together to build an engrossing experience that will make your palms sweat and your heart race. Do you have what it takes to overcome the tension and withstand the deadly terror?

I am a huge fan of the horror genre for film and games. Also recently released I have been enjoying Alien: Isolation, which is an awesome sci-fi horror game which also greatly uses stealth. Over-all this game is great, it has a few minor issues and glitches, however it is a solid horror-stealth game which I have been highly enjoying. Many are complaining that the game doesn't have good graphics and it is simply too difficult. Well, it doesn't have Next-Gen graphics as it is a multi-generation game (PS3, X-Box 360, PS4, X-Box One, PC), and not every game has to look like the Uncharted games. This game does look very good as they were going for horror style and not Call of Duty.
On release-day there was a small update to install and there is a season-pass available to purchase for $19.99 which will give you the upcoming DLC's.
What they did Right:
+ The graphics are actually quite good. It's very dark, but there is a lot of detail and vividness which really makes the game style awesome. The environment, water, fire, blood and everything has a cool style to it.
+ Very stylistic gaming experience. Reminiscent to Resident Evil 4 and the PS3/PSN game Siren: Blood Curse.
+ While there are multiple ways to do things, keeping quiet and taking down your enemies using stealth is probably the best choice.

What is Lacking...
- There are black bars and the top and bottom of the screen at all times. Very annoying.
- The control takes some getting use to. It seems a little cramped as the camera is too close to the character.
- Cut-scenes seem poorly directed and the character models aren't the best. The game looks better than the cut-scenes.
- While the graphics are good, there is some texture popping throughout the game directly after loading or switching scenes during cut-scenes.
- Longer than desired loading times.

Below are a few tips, personal preference, which I set to make the game more enjoyable:
~ Play the game on Survival Mode. It is not very difficult and there is a bountiful amount of supplies.
~ Set the brightness higher than directed. I have it set to 60%
~ Set controller sensitivity higher, I have mine set to 95%
~ Toggle the sneak button, as you will be spending most of the game in stealth mode.
~ Decrease or turn off the screen grain. It will give the picture better depth and provide a cleaner look.

Over-all a great, challenging horror game and while there are some frustrations with the basic mechanics of the gameplay, it is a great stealth horror game and I highly recommend it!

For starters, I am not a religious person. I was brought up Christian, and while I do believe in something more powerful than myself, I don't subscribe to any specific religion, science is clearly the logical choice. Religion is not fact or fiction, it simply is what you choose to believe in to guide you as needed through your life.
Noah is an adventure movie with action and phenomenal acting. It is beautifully filmed, entertaining and highly enjoyable on all levels. For the religious or non-religious. You must keep an open mind and while we know the story, it has surprises and over-all it is a dark story.
Great PQ and AQ. Once the rain starts it gets very dark, and some scenes seem blotchy. But overall a wonderful presentation.
Highly Recommended, for the story it tells and the visual pleasure it brings.

You won't find peace until you've unraveled the mystery of your own murder.Dive into an engrossing storyline that puts a twist on the typical murder mystery by making you both the victim and the detective in Murdered: Soul Suspect.

Interesting Take on an Adventure-Mystery Genre
on June 6, 2014
Posted by: adrielaugust
from Carlisle, PA
If you don't know the theme yet, you are a cop who is murdered and while dead must uncover clues about your killer as well as many other little side missions. It is a third-person perspective game and in the mystery-drama genre. It is not an action game at all and focuses on story and style. I took a chance and purchased Murdered Soul Suspect and while I initially wasn't impressed, it develops into an interesting game with some heart. The graphics aren't the best, however what it lacks in visual detail it makes up for in an engaging storyline.
You meet characters, alive and dead and question them as you are trying to find out what to do with your new life. Sometimes you'll be given a new request by the other ghosts which you can then chose to help them in their quests or not. The game style and story slightly remind me of a cross between The Darkness and L.A. Noire, also a little of Ghost the movie. There is a lot of discussion and problem solving with new areas and items to examine. The basic gist is you enter a room, look around, find a clue and move on. Other times you may need to speak with another ghost or possess a living character to uncover clues or hints to help solve your case. It does get a little repetitive after a while and though it is a solid game, I doubt if I will really try to get that platinum trophy or do another play through.
+ Focuses on story and style more than high quality graphics. You won't be stunned by the graphics, but there's more to this game than that.
+ Interesting characters and the over-all theme of the game will keep you entertained. It's a neat idea, and you're abilities make it a new gaming experience.
+ Lots to explore. Not a true open world game, yet does give you the freedom to look around at your leisure.
+ You can walk through most walls, possess people to gather clues or even guide them to make a decision. Gathering clues can be fun, and even thought provoking.

Recommended if you aren't working on any other games at the moment. It is a decent game and entertaining, however due to the so-so graphics, gameplay and mild enjoyment of the game I don't see this hanging around my shelf after I complete it. Not quite worth $60, but if the price is right may be worth picking up.

I took a chance and blind bought this movie on Blu-Ray. It has extreme mixed reviews, but I went with my gut and I'm glad I did. It was perfectly directed and the performances were powerful. The story is basically about love, but it is an adventure and at times a little suspenseful. I knew little going in, which is very good. Watching the trailer and over-reading into it will ruin it because this movie thrives on the style of the film. Without such a cool style, this would be the same movie we've seen before.
The performances were all solid. Every actor and piece of this film were well thought out and directed. The location and attention to the beauty of the world and it's cities really was well portrayed. Mads Mikkelsen was particularly great. Shia LeBeouf was also very good and a character you can relate to and you learned to love.
The PQ & AQ are very solid in every way. I loved the soundtrack and it really added something to the over-all flow and feel of the movie. The extras are decent for the type of film. Over-all a great movie and a wonderful Blu-Ray.
Highly recommended.
