I wanted a classy book for my coffee table that didn’t cost a fortune but looked like it did and this is the book! The quality is amazing and it is actually something guests enjoy thumbing through. It is also the perfect size!!!
Very pretty and solid book. Bought it to elevate my space. Looks as pictured and is very heavy. Returned mine because it came with dented corners due to poor packaging. Seller should really bubble wrap and place in a box that fits the entire book to protect during shipment. $100 book for decor should not arrive dented.
Sure, it’s going to look cool on the coffee table or counter, but it’s SO MUCH MORE than that. The books weight, size and the beautiful material on the book makes this an understated piece of art. Inside, the photos are big, vivid and draw you in, so you start picturing yourself in each of these photos, smiling and feeling warm and fuzzy. I’ve never felt this way about a book and I’ve never paid more than $20 for a book, so the fact I feel this is such great value for the price should help you give it a try. You can always return it the next day if it’s not for you. Hope this helps 🤩
This is a great housewarming gift. I've had friends love it so much that they now buy it as a housewarming gift for their friends and family. Aesthetically, the exterior is beautiful. The content within it is really stunning as well. It should be a household staple. The texture of the hardcover is unique and it looks great on a coffee table or bookshelf. I've bought this quite a few times for people, I still don't have a copy of my own! I told Santa I'd love one for Christmas!
Its a visual masterpiece. Each page is a treat for the eyes, showcasing the most breathtaking homes imaginable. It’s the perfect addition to any coffee table stack, elevating the aesthetic of your space. I loved how it seamlessly blends with other books.
Great book for display or to flip through. Love the images and neutral color exterior.
Pretty book inside and out. Large and looks good as decor
This coffee table is perfect. The color is cream and matches many styles. It is a large book. Looks great on a bookshelf and coffee table. Great quality. It’s worth the money. I bought one as a gift for my BFF and myself! Highly recommend. It is one of the best books for decor that I’ve gotten on Amazon.
