SKNet Australian Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Sheets

I received a box labelled Tomic, not SKnet, and that has none of the features that the product page photos and description has. Other reviewers have mentioned that this is Tomic not SKnet. My review was rejected by Amazon because I simply said that the product they sell and what you get are two different things. But they cannot reject my review here :)

THINGS I LIKE

> The cardboard packaging, which is fully recyclable.

> Perfect for travelling, and washing by hand or using a small load of laundry while travelling or camping.

> It can be used with front and up loading machines.

> I didn't have any skin sensitivity reaction.

THINGS I DON'T LIKE

> Their false advertising as this isn't Australian or eco-friendly. They've changed the photos on the product page since I bought this a few months ago, but check the photos of the product I received.
> I used a whole sheet for my laundry and the clothing came out just OK.
> Peony scent? Not really.
> There are 30 sheets breakable in two, supposedly for 60 laundry loads. However, if I have my washing machine fully loaded, I need a minimum of a full sheet or even one and a half sheets.

IN SHORT

Handy to carry around and emergency washing, especially by hand. I won't use this in my washing machine and I will look for genuinely Aussie-made eco-friendly products.

Another beauty from the Aquarius tin range. I use this for storage purposes, not as a lunch box. Depending on the cases, I use it to storage, lace, ribbons, paper scraps, buttons and what's not. The box is really roomy and the printing quality great. This box is my favourite in the range because Pink Floyd's iconic imagery hasn't aged at all. This box can be carried by the handle (which can be collapsed flat for easier storage), and has a secure metal latch to keep the lid secure. The box is really good quality and, although pricey, the art is fully licensed and the overall quality great.

Great quality sturdy rubbish bags. They tide up differently from those that have two handles, and I've come to like the wavetop-tie more. The product claims to be leak proof, and my experience with them, after years of using them, is that this is true in moist cases. I've used these bags also when moving houses as they are perfect and very resistant while holding clothing, linen, cushions and other textiles without them getting stained by the bags colour.

Not a miracle, just a toothpaste. I like the sandy texture and fresh light mint of this toothpaste. It can be used to decrease teeth sensitivity if you apply a coat directly on to the affected area, as a treatment or salve, so to speak. I've used this brand and variety for a long time and it hasn't reduced my sensitivity in a way that I can say it's remarkable or really noticeable. I love, though, that targets gums, enamel and sensitivity at once, so it's a all-rounder affordable paste. Many of the claims that the brand makes about this variety might be true for clinical controlled studies. I haven't seen those reflected in my personal life. Yet, I'm happy to buy this toothpaste as it is lovely, refreshing and I really like the feeling of its sandy texture.

I got 10 sheets with 360 waterproof sticky labels. I love that the stickers come in three different shapes and that are small enough to use on kitchen jars and containers. I prefer them to be presented in flat sheets than in rolls, as the former method makes it easier to store. The complimentary chalk marker works well.

Give it some time to dry completely or it will rub off easily. Once it is dry, it can be completely erased by rubbing your finger on it, or passing a tissue or damp cloth on it. The labels are reusable and go back to normal, so they're recyclable.

The main issue with these labels is that they don't adjust well to small round traditional preserve jars, because they aren't flexible enough to stick that way. So I had to put the ones that I use in the kitchen on the caps of my preserve and spices jars. No issue when I use them on flat surfaces. I would have loved a bit of variety in sizes, but that's me being picky.

I wanted something different for Xmas this year. I saw this super-cute postcard in that red envelope and I bought several for my love ones. It is not the ubiquitous Santa or Nativity imagery that you find elsewhere and I find it adorable for both children and adults. It's has a Merry Xmas on the top front, another on one of the sides inside. It has plenty of writing space inside, too.

My main complaint is the lack of printing definition. The image looks a bit "smudged" or a bit "blurry", i.e. lacks definition or neatness. It might the way the original image was painted that way, but ain't sure. Also, the paper quality is worse than other Twizler cards I've bought in the past. Overall, very lovely.

I thought these jars would make a good salt & pepper set, but the jars are too big for table purposes. They're still great to have them on my cooking station for everyday purposes or to store large quantities of spices.

The design is great, in the sense that holds the same amount of product as other jars but utilises less space on my counter top.The lid has an upper rotating over-lid that opens to three different perforated sections for sprinkling and pouring purposes. The pouring opening is perhaps too large if you cook for two people and don't use large pots.

Unfortunately, this jars aren't dishwasher or microwave safe, and it will break on touch with boiling water. So, not as good as other Kilner containers. On the other hand, there is no reason why you would want to wash this often or put it in a microwave.

Smith's Potato Chips Original Lunchbox Multipack (18 Pack)

Great portion control bags and has three plain chips in different varieties (raffled, thin, and deli) plus the Doritos chips. These bags are perfect for lunch boxes and to munch without the guilt to gulping down a whole family pack on your own. I think this is the healthier of the snack mix boxes, too. I think the multipack would have benefited if there were two plain chips and two varieties of other plain snacks.

I was craving one of these keyboards, the noisy ones, the ones that have cushioning and you actually have to click on. This seemed perfect for my current needs, a small keyboard that I can plug to my laptop and carry or store easily. The colour combination is elegant and modern, and helps locating different kind of keys easily. It's so pretty! This keyboard plugs and plays into my laptop via the provided doubled USB cable easily.

The keyboard, despite what other reviewers say, is well built, it's sturdy, and looks and feels expensive. It comes with three complimentary replacement blue axis and tweezers.

MAIN DOWNSIDES

> Instruction leaflet is minimal and has no instructions.

> Backlight cannot be switched off. It becomes distracting at times. If it can be put off it wasn't clear to me how.

> There isn't direct keys for arrows down/up left/right or delete, which I use all the time. The laptop is designed mostly for gaming and it shows. As I wanted it for work, it was not convenient or intuitive enough.

> If the power supply to my laptop is deficient or alternates, which happens sometimes, the keyboard backlight starts flicking, which is most annoying.

Returned.

Twizler Happy Birthday Card with Games Console

It's quite difficult finding birthday cards for boys, but I hit the golden buzzer with this. I sent this card to one of my nephews and he absolutely loved it. I think it reflects the personality and hobbies of many boys his age (9yoa) who play soccer and love video-games. I would say that it's designed for an European audience as most children would play soccer not footy or other kinds of football. The card is quite large and comes with a lovely red envelope.

This eye treatment is good value for money as the box comes wit 10 pairs of patches individually packed and is really affordable. The results are beautiful as my eye area looks refreshed, tightened and less wrinkled after use. In my case, if I leave the patches more than the advised time, I get mild irritation, so stick to the instructions and you'll be fine.

I read the reviews mentioning that the patches fall easily and that you have to lay down while applying them. This isn't the case for me. Truth be told, sometimes one of the patches sticks perfectly and the other tends to slide down, but that depends on my skin being sweatier on one side. I wouldn't be exercising with them on, for sure, but I wear them when working on my computer and they don't fall.

This is the first time that I try an ANUA product and I'm very pleased with it. This is excellent value for money due to the large size, and to the fact that a small amount goes a long way. As per the instructions, I put a small amount of product in my hands, add a bit of water, foam it, and then wash my face. It foams beautifully and easily. This cleanser has the texture of thick butter so I have to push it out strongly for the product to come out. The product is very gentle on my skin and I really love the results. This is a replacement from my average well-known economic brand, and I'm happy with the switch because it might cost a bit more but at least I'm buying from a Korean company that is not a multinational corporation without a conscience.

This is a double-dose version of the 15-strain variety that I reviewed in the past. This one has 60-millium CFU and the other 30 million, but the strains are the same. I bought this variety as it was heavily discounted and wanted to know if I'd notice a difference. It hasn't made a difference to me. Said differently, it's still an excellent product, but I don't see a difference in my body from the lower-dose capsules.

I love the packaging. The glass container can be easily reused as the info on it is written on an easily detachable plastic coat. These capsules don't need of refrigeration, so I can keep the jar anywhere.

I cannot publish the review on Amazon as I reviewed the other variety and the system is blocking this one. Whatever. That's why I have this blog :)

I prefer L'Oreal Preference hair colour (pun intended) to the more popular Excellence variety as it doesn't dry my hair as much as Preference, and the resulting colour is also nicer. The kit contains the usual colour bottle, developer bottle, treating mask and plastic gloves.

Colouring was easy and the result on my gray hair was a colour very close to the one on the packaging. I have dark hair so I didn't expect to have my colour toned down at once, as I'm going from dark to light. However, the side of the packaging shows a photo of the colour one might get when used on a dark brown colour. The results were not close to that colour, unfortunately. At the same time, it created some random highlights that I really liked. I thought that I would get the overall toning down on subsequent applications. So I waited less than my average tinting time to apply the colour again. The results this time were way better and I can see the difference. So I will continue using it till my hair tones down completely. This is not going to happy in two uses, but perhaps in four depending on one's hair length.

The complimentary hair mask is really good and can be used twice depending on one's hair length and thickness. However, I prefer to use a professional, salon-purposed Argan oil mask that works better on my hair.

Ohuhu Mix-Media Hardover Pad (210cm x 210cm)

This Ohuhu pad looks expensive due to its luxurious leather-like cover, flexible soft binding, elastic band, ribbon bookmark and decent mixed media paper. It comes in a sturdy cardboard box that protects it and makes it perfect for wrapping and gifting. It comes with a complimentary silicone sheet that can be inserted between pages to prevent bleeding and staining. All the design is really well thought and the price fantastic.

I was looking forward to having this pad for mixed-media painting, but the first results were disappointing. I first tasted the paper without gesso priming and I was getting quite happy with the paper performance despite using a lot of wet media. My happiness ended when, after finishing a grid layout, I started to remove the low-tack soft masking tape I normally use. This tape glides off beautifully on most papers, but it ripped the paper apart destroying most of the painting area. I got me really annoyed.

The product page states "Designed especially for use with alcohol markers, the 120lb (200GSM) mixed media paper has a pleasingly smooth surface that resists smudging and feathering." To me, this is not the best paper for wet mixed-media because the paper definitely wraps and buckles, and needs of gesso to work on it to prevent the paper being ruined or torn apart. However, the pad is perfect for dry media, pencils, crayons and markers.

In the end, I decided to use it as a collage sketchbook with limited use of water-based products and I'm very happy with this pad for that purpose.

The pages are punctured so you can cut them off if ain't happy with what I'm doing or the paper gets damaged. However, the part of the binding before the puncture stays in, so if you have many pages cut off, it bulks up and it looks cheap.

For the rest a good quality pad perfect for limited wet and dry media, and collage.

This pad is one of the few affordable A2 pads in the market that allow you to work with oils. acrylics and mixed media. I've used it with mixed media and it's great both as a sketchbook and for producing studies or art pieces that you aren't going to sell. It has a beautiful canvas-like texture on the front, and a sealed plastic-ish smooth back that prevents bleeding. It's not meant to replace good quality paper, but allows creating quality studies and sketches without breaking your budget. You can still have some rubbing and scratching done on the paper, but to a certain point. I gesso the pages before working on them so that the pages don't tear or break when doing that. The pad is not only affordable but the twelve sheets are a generous number for the price.

Johnson's Pure Cotton Bud Applicators With Paper Sticks (150 Pack)

I use these cotton buds for so many purposes, to clean my ear lobes to start with, but also as part of my DIY manicure, to clean my eyebrows while dying, in my artwork practice, you name it. I love that the sticks are made out of paper. They are still strong and don't break.

I cannot understand the necessity of using a plastic container. A cardboard one, made out of recycled cardboard, would be not only more environmentally friendly, but also cheaper to produce. I hate one-use plastic packaging. The container is really cute and can be reused, but due to the shape is not easily to store in small spaces, so I ended binning it. I feel guilty every time.

Due to what's happening in some parts of the world I'm no longer supporting brands like this and reverting to local brands and companies.

This is one of those Kmart items that I consider a staple at home. I have many of them stacked on each other in my art studio/home office. They're not only good looking, durable, roomy and easy to clean, but also fit well with the Ikea Skandi look that I love for my studio. I stuck them by using a bit of blue tack on the base. I have put some of them inside my shellves, and they look great, keeping all my stuff tidy and organised.

Kmart 4-Drawer Storage Unit on Wheels

Not fancy, not pretty, but a great storage solution if you're on a budget. This unit is perfect for garage, shed, and tools storage as well as a great shoe and toys cabinet. It's amazingly simply to put together without the need of any tool; it's like a large Lego puzzle. It has rudimentary wheels that help me move the unit around. Price is amazing for such a useful unit. I've had two of these for years, and they're still as new. On the flip side, they're a bit wobbly, made of plastic, and nothing you want to display around the home.

Instruction Manual

I was so excited about finding this brush cleaning tub at a good affordable price. The good thing is that it's made of stainless still and it costs half of what you'd pay if it were from an art brand. However, after getting it and using it, I've found that it's a bit of a nuisance in my studio. The ringed holder only allow small thin brushes to be inserted; otherwise, the brushes will pop up and fly across the room like popcorn. I use a mix of brush sizes in my art practice, so it defeats the purpose. The brushes, can be placed vertically or inside the ring, horizontally. This tool would need of more space than the one I have on my working table to be fully functional. In all honesty, those brushes that fit in the rings, dry better, quicker and get less damaged.

This is a good quality large pencil wrap with 72 slots. Perfect to keep pencils, average pen and thin/medium markers. The elastic band are tight, so it's difficult to get some of the markers in. At the same time, this prevents them from sliding off. There are too double fittings, which are perfect to insert thick markers or several small things, like pencil/pen refills, erasers, etc. I miss having a couple of more of those double fittings to put all the things I wanted in. This wrap has thicker canvas and is better quality than others I own. I fit tons of stuff in this.

These pencil extenders are not only good quality aluminium in six good-looking colours, but perfect for average pencils when they get too short. It fists most artist pencil brands and all the short pencils I have.

USEFUL INFORMATION

Measurements: 7 mm dia x 105 mm long.

This scoop costed me a dollar, but it isn't worth the money. It's made of great quality plastic in a lovely turquoise colour and it's dishwasher safe. However, it defeats the purpose because it isn't good for hard ice-cream, the one most people would have in their freezer. The ice-cream gets stuck inside and you need a spoon to get it out. Needless to say, it doesn't hold the shape or improve presentation. Ikea recommends heating up the tool with hot water, but this doesn't change the outcome basically because this scoop is made of plastic not metal, and doesn't heat up enough to get the desired purpose. Perhaps works well with soft ice-cream? A simple table spoon put under warm/hot water does a better job. Watch professional chefs use two average spoons to plate an ice-cream and you'll save your money and the planet.

I love this little tool both as a everyday scrapper and as an art tool. I have one these devoted to removing paint from my desktop, small little drops on the floor and other hard surfaces. The manufacturer says that It can be used to remove sticker decals and glue on glass, cook-tops and ovens. I haven't tried this tool on those surfaces so far, so I cannot comment. But the blades are sharper than you think and work well on the surfaces I've tried them on. This scrapper is also a great mark-making tool. Easy to store as it's pretty flat. I love the ergonomic design, as well. I appreciate the complimentary blades.

This is a cute mini-umbrella that can easily be carried in a small bag or small backpack pocket. The colour makes it easy to notice from a distance, which is really convenient. The pouch is great and keeps the umbrella tidy, and can be used for other purposes. This umbrella has an inner lining for sun protection of 50+ so it's perfect as a parasol. By all means, this is NOT a windproof umbrella. That's false advertising. It is perfect for drizzle days or spit rain not for full showers or windy rain as it easily turns the umbrella upside down.

Kmart Claw Hammer

This is a good solid hammer, nothing fancy about it. It hits the nail on the head :))) every time. It's quite heavy and works well for all purposes I've used it for. I dislike the handle length as makes storage difficult. For the rest, good value for money. Mind -- No longer for sale on Kmart.

I've been looking for one of these traditional stampers for a while, to use it with my archival ink pad as I use a stamp to date my journals artwork and most stamps out there have self-inkers with ink that isn't archival or waterproof. This seemed the perfect alternative.

I love the stamp vintage style and the fact that is really small but the numbers sizing is clear and readable. It looks great on my desk and the wooden base prevents the ink left on the numbers to stain anything. I can use this with any of my archival inks, black or coloured, which is great both for office and craft purposes.

Having said that, the stamp structure is feeble. The numbers adjusting wheels are a bit loose, so they don't hold their position as strongly as other stamps do. The knob is loose and rotates, something that doesn't bother me, but it's another proof of its mediocrity. The edge of the numbers box will be printed if you press the stamp a bit too strong on the ink pad.

The product arrived used, with some of the numbers already tried and blacked by ink. No problem with that if I had known that I was buying a used product and that the price had matched that.

I would have loved something like this, just good quality without any of the faulty features that I have mentioned. However, it's OK for the price.

USEFUL INFO

Measurements = 5L x 4W x 10H centimetres

Date Range = 2025-2036 (I had to post a question for the seller to mention this important item of information).

Posca markers are one of my favourite art supplies, due to their quality, versatility and easy of use. My preferred tip is this 5M medium one, which is also reversible. So, if the tip gets stained or tinted, I take it out, reverse it and I have a new brand one. The stained part will self repair when inside. In this way, the tips last for ages. Lines are clean and precise.

The set has a mix of basic colours. They aren't primary colours per se, but basic bright gorgeous colours, plus black and white. These markers have a good lightfast rating, which varies from colour to colour, and they're waterproof once dried. If they aren't fully dry, they smudge, which sometimes you want to do to fill in small areas or produce artistic effects.

The main downside of Posca is that they're not refillable, or not easily so. Therefore, they generate a lot of plastic waste and aren't environmentally friendly, which is a shame.

For the rest, great value for money.

This is a great little bag made of good quality sturdy materials. It opens fully to a square box format, f you prefer it open,. Otherwise, you can close as shown in the product page photos.

I bought the small size as I have a basic tool kit at home, and it is perfect for that. It has 16 inner and outer pockets in different sizes, and holds plenty of stuff. However, I'd buy the large size if you have more than the basics. For example, a usual-length hammer would not fit in, but a chubby one would.

I won't be moving this around, it is just a storage bag, and it is perfect for my needs. However, it comes with a carry-on adjustable strap and has two handles, so that you can carry it by hand as well and keep all closed and it.

One of the main downsides is that, if the bag is full, it's difficult to close the mouth and zip it.

Life-Space Broad Spectrum Probiotic Capsules (32 Billion CFU - 15 Strains, 60 count)

Life Space probiotics are my fav in the market among the ones I've tried. This variety is perfect to use when my microbiota is affected by illness or medication. For daily uses I take another variety with less strains. These capsules are easy to swallow, odourless and tasteless and they work. They don't need of refrigeration, so I keep them in my pantry or in my office's drawers. I love the fact that the jar is glass and the plastic waste minimal. The labelling can be easily peeled so I reuse these jars for different storage purposes. Great value for money, too, as he jar has 60 capsules and it lasts me, even when I take them often around 2-3 months.

Curaprox Toothbrush CS Smart (random colour)

This is the first time I use a Curaprox toothbrush. The size is perfect for both children and adults. I have a small mouth, so normal brushes will get me my gag reflex activated due to their being too bulky. This brush is great to reach tricky spots at the back of my mouth without getting the gag. It is pleasurable to use on my gums and it doesn't feel abrasive like so many other brushes. However, it's perhaps too soft for an adult.

I know that the exterior doesn't matter, but the looks of these brushes with colour combos that are really great and eye candy. I'd loving having the option to select my preferred combo.

This toothbrush costs double an average one, so I expected quality and a bit of fancy. To me, the fancy isn't just about the colour combos or the logo, but also about its sustainability. This brush is made of great quality plastic. Yet, it's a disposable one-use brush. Why?!!!! You can easily have the same design and quality, just with replaceable heads, a la electric toothbrush. Why not thinking about the environment? That's also fancy.

I had my hesitations before purchasing these socks because I thought that, due to the price, they couldn't be real compression socks or good. But they are! Perhaps I wouldn't use them in a long-haul flight, but they're perfect for seating for long periods of time when my ankles get swollen.

I love how soft these socks feel on my legs and the fact that they don't leave red marks on my skin. They are also perfect for the winter months, as they are on the thick side.

The mix of colours is great for my needs as I can use the black and beige for work and the grey ones to use at home. It's winter now, so my legs get less inflamed than in summer, but, so far, so good. I would edit my review in summer if needed.

The sizing is perfect for me, as I have small feet, and they reach my knees. I guess that these might be short socks for men, and not sure whether people with big feet would fit in these.

They wash beautiful in my washing machine without further care or protection.

This is 100% mandarin essential oil. I've never had mandarin oil at home, so I was expecting something more mandarin fruit. However, it is a refreshing clean citrus scent that is perfect to clean smells from my working room, very gender neutral, and not to 'smelly'. It works great with my electronic diffuser, and 5-6 drops go a long way. I love the eco-friendly packaging and the minimal use of plastic. Good value for money, too.

This is a fragrance oil not essential oil and comes beautifully packaged. The scent, upon opening the bottle, is authentic yummy green apple. I've used this with my electric diffuser, therefore diluted, and the scent was barely noticeable unless I was a few centimetres from the diffuser. It didn't perfumed the room I put it in either. I added some drops of this oil to a small open jar in the same room, undiluted, and no results. The fragrance lasts for hours, but if you put your nose close to the jar. It might be great for soap or candle making, something I haven't tried, but not a good oil for my diffuser. Perhaps it's meant to be used with a reed diffuser?

EKET Connection fittings

These fittings are specifically designed to connect different EKET cabinets/cubes if you want to have them placed on the floor, not on the wall (there are specific fittings for that purpose). They come with the corresponding connecting screws and insertable clips.

By looking at the instructions leaflet, they seem to be super easy to instal. However, as other EKET components, they are well designed but poorly manufactured. What meant to be an easy task, it turned out to be a hassle.

The fittings are made of galvanised steel, and therefore, good quality. However, the accompanying screw system (plastic clips that nail into a plastic screw holder) is not something I want to use when mounting furniture that might hold a lot of weight. These clips are similar to other Ikea products clips. However, the heads don't clip in at all, or it takes effort for them to do. Some of the clips worked first time. Others, didn't work at all so I had to use a soft hammer knock to get them down, while others, they split open and were ruined.

The result is as intended, you put two or more cubes together. For sure, they're more connected and safer than if they'd be if you didn't use them. Yet, they don't hold the cubes strongly due to only two clips being used on each side and the clipping system being plastic.

DESIGNER: Ikea of Sweden.

ASSEMBLY LEAFLET

Materials: The fittings are made of galvanized steel and the screws/clips of plastic.

Mind: Check regularly that fastenings are properly tightened and re-tighten when necessary.

I had already bought several cubes from the EKET system in the past, but the ones with the door, when I purchased this one. They are very spacious and good looking and I store tons of stuff in them. I have used them on top of a deck, on top of other containers, or, as intended, connected to other EKET cubes. I have never hung them from the wall, so I cannot comment on that.

I had had a good experience with the EKET door cubes, so I couldn't understand the many reviews claiming that they're difficult to assemble until got this open cube and then I understood.

The instructions are easy to follow. So the problem is not that, is that some of the pieces are faulty from factory. In my case, three of the doors were assembled without trouble. I just inserted the pegs on some of the panel edges into the peg holes on the other panel edges, pressed them down (sometimes with the help of a soft hammer knock) until they click in. Once I had assembled three of the sides, I inserted the thinner back panel and I was ready to finish the cube. That was the problem. due to the peg holes on one of the panels being faulty or too wide, the final pegs wouldn't go in at all. I used a hammer, and nothing changed. The issue is that the last panel was a few millimetres shorter than intended and wouldn't reach the other panel at all. I followed some of the tricks that the reviewers mentioned on the Ikea product page, but to no avail. I had to request a refund, because I fear that there are many of these cubes with the same issue and would not bother with the replacement.

These legs are good looking and really enhance the Eket cabinetry system and I definitely prefer them to the metallic version. They are good quality solid birch wood and have a screwable hole inside where to insert the height regulators, which are hard plastic kind-screws that can be screwed more or less to adjust the height of each leg. Once installed, they look great and are very good.

A few downsides. The wood is attached to a supporting triangle, which is what you attach to the base of an Eket Cube. The way the legs are attached to the triangle is defective, as the leg isn't in the centre, but a bit askew towards one of the angles, leaving little space to manoeuvre your hands or the screwdriver to put in the screws. This is the result of faulty design, not a faulty piece, as all legs are attached to the metallic triangle in the same way. You would need a T-shaped long handle driver to insert the screws straight in.

The final problem is that the leg piece has to be screwed to one of he Eket cube panels, all of which don't have pre-drilled holes for the legs screws, so you would need a proper driller, strong hands or your man to drill them.

The set comes with a complimentary ingenious measurement plastic piece so that the position of each leg can be measured without the need of a tape. The holes on it server to mark the position of the screw with a pencil.

As mentioned above, the legs' height can be easily adjusted thanks to the inserted screwable pieces. You can adjust the overall height or just one of the legs if you place the piece of furniture on an uneven surface, or all of them to the same height. You need to adjust the height before filling in the cubes, needless to say.

FEJKA Artificial Potted Herbs (3pc, 5 cm)

This set of tiny plants is super cute and goes well anywhere. I have some of these placed on my living room book shelf, on several surfaces at home, and in my home office. They make great green accents and give me a sense of being surrounded by nature.

I sometimes use them as they are, in their white pot,and others I place them in medium-sized candle holders, which look like tiny planters, and they look expensive.

For the price, you cannot expect high quality artificial plants, but they look great and are durable.

This Skadis large hook is perfect to use on my Vattenkar desk organiser to hold a paper towel roll. I can also use it to hang several washy tapes rolls on each hook.

Depending on the separation used between the hooks, you can hang longer rolls (wrapping paper rolls for ex.) if you use this on a wall pegboard.

These hooks are made of good quality materials, so it's has some weight to it.
