This is a classic early 1950s day dress in a great print - these are not easy to find. The shirtwaist style is tweaked with a curvy pointed collar and perky short sleeves. The full skirt is softly pleated into the waist seam.

FABRIC/COLORS: A geometric print in dark turquoise against a white background. The turquoise squares are designed to look like bold paint strokes, complete with streaks and jagged edges. They are arranged in patterns that alternate between vertical and horizontal. The fabric itself is a medium weight cotton.

TAGS: Mode O Day, Styled in California

CLOSURES: The dress opens completely in front, closes with eight oversized white buttons. There is also a single snap just above the waist, most likely added after-market to prevent gaping. There is a belt loop but no belt - I have shown the dress in some photos with a belt from my closet - it is not included with purchase.

CONDITION: The teal color has blurred slightly in the right underarm area -see closeup. A former owner did some minor seam repair work under both arms using a sewing machine - you can see in the closeups that it was not expertly done, resulting in some very minor seam creasing - fabric is intact. There is also a subtle 1" tannish discoloration along the edge of the bodice placket - see second closeup. No other issues noted.

Sturdy & Tuff going on 6 months +
Size: 28'' x 14'', Size: 28'' x 14''
I mounted a thick heavy piece of butcher block to these legs and made a desk. Easy to assemble and install. Mark the holes, pre drill pilot holes and screw them in. I will say I knew they were going to be greasy out of the box. They grease them in the factory to prevent rusting so just wipe them off with an old rag and your good to go. They haven’t felt wobbly or anything like that and butcher block is pretty heavy. I have to say I love them and much cheaper than buying from the hardware store. I’m thinking about building a second one and I would definitely purchase again. Again very sturdy and easy to assemble. People mad about the grease need to realize it’s done as an anti rust measure and it wipes right off and zero rust thus far.

Absolutely not.
Size: 28'' x 14'', Size: 28'' x 14''
Truly terrible product. If you're wanting extreme DIY, aka cleaning it repeatedly, no instructions, and still not impressive quality, this is the item for you. After much time spent trying to remove the nasty oily substance all over the pipes and some sort of weird dirt coming out of the pipes as well, it still hadn't fully come off. When cleaning off the grease, it also took the color off of the item and created a weird, lined look on the pipes, like it was some legit oil rubbed crud on it, instead of paint to look oil rubbed. There is also what appears to be rust on some of the pieces. If someone actually wanted to use the desk and actually bumped into one of the pipes, it would without doubt leave oily residue on clothing. Pictures included of the box without pieces in it as it beautifully captures just how much crud was all over. 100% do not recommend and would give zero stars if it was allowed, but alas.

No boards come with it.
Size: 42'' x 28'', Size: 42'' x 28''
It was simple to put together, though it did not come with instructions. I had to use pictures of the product as a reference when putting it together. Parts were oily, so you must use gloves or wipe them down. I bought the boards from Lowes, size for the boards were 28" x 40" and 9" x 40", and 3/4" thick. I had to buy 5/8" screws to screw the boards down. Overall, once it was all put together, the desk is very sturdy, simple and gave me options how to set up my computers.

1" fittings and decent quality
Size: 16'' x 7.87''
Difficult to tell from any description but these are 1" pipes and fittings. You can find this out if you look at product pictures and can see the 1 printed on a fitting or two that is it. I was trying to match existing pipes that were 3/4 inch so disappointed when they arrived. these are decorative as well. Not the same quality as actual black iron pipe you get at any home improvement store. Good enough for shelving and legs on furniture but I definitely would not stand on these or make a chair or stool that is meant to hold someone's weight. Fit and finish about what you would expect cheap and the flanges are threaded crooked like others have stated. Also when they state the sizes and lengths they do not take into account the fittings so everything will be longer slightly.

Good price for what I needed
Size: 16'' x 43''
Perfect for the coffee table I was working on, adjust to the size I needed as I only used 2 middle pipes for a 36” table top. Good durable pipes. The down come slightly scratched up as they weren’t packaged in anything protective so I ended up spraying them with a matte black.
