The coffee table book arrived with sticky stains on the back that I managed to get off, but it also had a dented and torn back spine. It looks used but I ordered a brand new book. Very disappointed in the lack of quality control.

Buy it!

While I'm a fan of Studio McGee's work, I was not expecting as much design information as this book gives. I wouldn't call it chock full of detailed design info as it's more inspirational, however, I would say that it has a good amount of information as a starting base if you are interested in their design aesthetic. Photos are incredible.

Good quality

Love the book and the addition to the coffee table, it came with some marks and scuffs just not in perfect condition as I would have hoped. I’m still keeping it for the price I don’t really feel like returning it over the minor imperfections, it’s otherwise just as described

Love my book

This book is absolutely amazing! I wanted this book for quite a while, and it did not disappoint! The book itself is well-constructed and sturdy. They did not cheap out on material! Then when you open the book, oh my! This book is worth actually reading because, at least for me, it helped grounded my interior design style, but Shea McGee’s stylized writing is like taking a master class in interior design! The book is chock full of (in my opinion) design wisdom that people like me kind of struggle with grounding a more aesthetically pleasing home. Personally, I will be flipping through quite often for design inspiration. Ms. McGee moved the design narrative in such a pleasant and succinct way that just ticked for me.

BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING BOOK!

I can't believe how big (400 pages) this book is and it is very well written. There are so many great photos and a lot of information on how she plans her designs from start to finish. So much information. I have many "coffee table-decorating" books. This one is by far the nicest and biggest book I have so far. It also has a very timeless appeal, which definitely leans into her over style which I also love too. This book is worth every penny and then some! Very pleased with this book!
