Editorial Product Review: Review:This is an unusual and lovely place setting. The Naturewood design takes a soft, natural color palette, then adorns it with sketches of leaves and potted herbs such as lavender, basil, lemon verbena, and sweet bay (yes, they're labeled), as well as a birdhouse and watering can here and there. There's also a thin stripe of green with purple and mauve accents around the center of the plates and bowls. The 16-piece set provides service for four, consisting of 11-inch dinner plates, 8-inch salad ...
Editorial Product Review: Review:A delight for nature lovers, the Naturewood collection is designed to look like an artist's watercolor sketchbook of botanicals. The pattern uses soft, muted green and ivory and combines these colors with a variety of outdoor motifs, such as birdhouses, beehives, leaves, and potted herbs, to make a unique mix-and-match tabletop collection. Unusual accessory pieces, such as the trowel-shaped spoon rest or the beehive-shaped honey pot, contribute to the intriguing nature of this collection. Like all Pfaltzgraff dinnerware, the Naturewood collection is durable enough ...

Editorial Product Review: Review:Introduced in 2005 to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Winterberry pattern, this 20-ounce pitcher holds enough maple syrup, gravy, or favorite sauce for the whole family. The pitcher matches a wide range of popular Winterberry dinnerware and serving ware with its delicate sprays of green holly leaves and red berries on a snowy white background. While there is no designated saucer, the Winterberry dessert plate serves admirably underneath to catch drips. Though the overall effect of Winterberry is a clean, dainty look, ...

Editorial Product Review: Review:Full-blown sunflowers nodding in a fiery sunset inspire this warm, welcoming dinnerware pattern. The sandy, speckled background gives the oversized pieces a handmade look, while the colorful sunflowers themselves fill borders or make a single, bold, off-center appearance. Mix with speckled Nuance in solid sage green, chili red, or curry yellow for a real Southwestern feel, and add sparkle with Evening Sun coolers. Sunflower-splashed platters, pitchers, and a host of serving pieces accessorize the place settings, all of which are made of durable earthenware ...
Usually we're fans of Logitech's gaming mice, but its highest-end G9 Laser Mouse is expensive, overly complex, and lacks the ergonomic thought we've come to expect. If you like to brag about dot-per-inch limits, perhaps the G9's 3,200dpi laser will be enough to sell you, but for the price, we expect the design to match.
