    5.0 out of 5 stars An Unusual Soviet Silent, March 20, 2004

    Mr Peter G George (Ellon, Aberdeenshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Bed And Sofa/Chess Fever (DVD)
    Abram Room's Bed and Sofa is quite different from the most famous Soviet silent films such as Battleship Potemkin, Earth or Mother. The Great Russian silents are usually full of propaganda, with stylised characters representing archetypes rather than individuals. Such films, while undoubtedly brilliant, can at times appear to be an exhibition of a director's particular theory of filmmaking. While Bed and Sofa uses typically fast "Russian editing", it is used unobtrusively and doesn't overwhelm the narrative. The characters in this film are believable individuals rather than revolutionary heroes or villains. The story is more about subtly exploring the way men and women treat each other, than about expressing propaganda points.

    The film begins with Kolia and his wife Liuda living in a one room apartment. It is apparent that their marriage is not particularly happy. Kolia meets an old army friend Voldoia, who has come to Moscow to work. Without even asking his wife, Kolia offers to... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Two excellent Soviet silent films!, October 17, 2004
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Bed And Sofa/Chess Fever (DVD)
    I found this 2-disc DVD set even better than I anticipated, and I was impressed not only by the films themselves but by the musical score and optional commentary to "Bed and Sofa". The second disc even has the original versions of both films with Russian intertitles, but besides Russian letters and recognizable scenes of Moscow, there is nothing else in these films that smacks of Soviet propaganda. In fact, "Bed and Sofa" is a very human story everyone can relate to, thanks to the excellent direction by Abram Room who captures the moods and feelings of three people living in a small basement flat. The attention to details of domestic matters and the characters' emotions and reactions very effectively draws the viewer into their world so that a certain suspense of the outcome develops. And just when you are fully involved in their lives and think you know what will happen next, the final outcome is surprising and actually quite refreshing. For even deeper insight into the thoughts... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Soviet Silent Film, December 18, 2010
    By 
    This review is from: Bed And Sofa/Chess Fever (DVD)
    Bed and Sofa (1927) was directed by Abram Room and remains his most well-known film. It tells the story of a ménage à trois (a very daring plot for Soviet cinema in the 1920s) between one woman (Liuda) and two men (Volodia and Kolia).

    Brief Plot Summary (spoilers)

    Volodia and Kolia were friends during the Revolution and meet up accidentally when Volodia attempts to find living space in Moscow, where Kolia and Liuda live a married life with a tabby cat. Kolia treats his wife as a child (perhaps without realizing how degrading he is being) and she lives entirely within the domestic space and seldom ventures outside.

    Volodia begins an affair with Liuda. He participates in the housework, brings her magazines, and takes her on plane rides. Kolia, an extremely backbone-less man still lives in his same house with the other two. Most of the film takes place in the one-room apartment and the film's plot revolves around the changing fuctions of... Read more

    3.0 out of 5 stars Couch Cover, October 24, 2011
    This review is from: Scotch Sofa Cover, 41 x 131 Inch (8040) (Office Product)
    Purchased this product for a couch & loveseat. Both items are being placed into long term storage, so I wanted a product that would help protect them. There is 1 cover per package, cover fit my 8 foot couch perfectly. The plastic is on the thin side. I would not use for heavy duty protection- against dogs or cats.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Useless Thin Plastic, May 1, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Scotch Sofa Cover, 41 x 131 Inch (8040) (Office Product)
    At the time I purchased this, I had adopted two new kittens and wanted to protect my couch from any accidents while the kittens were still young. I had hoped to be able to put this over my couch and then put Lightweight Cotton Sofa lipcover - Claret over it. This wouldn't work for that purpose, because it's not really fitted and too thin and slippery to use underneath a slipcover. This plastic is more like something you'd throw over your couch if you were painting the walls. I thought it would work temporarily, but it didn't. I ended up using the slipcover without the plastic underneath.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Thin Plastic, November 10, 2010
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Scotch Sofa Cover, 41 x 131 Inch (8040) (Office Product)
    Piece of VERY thin plastic in the shape of a box and covers only 75% of the couch. Good only for keeping dust off. Was hoping to cover the couch and then put a blanket over, but the plastic is too thin to stay in place. A small breeze from a fan causes it to move. Was hoping it would be sturdy like the plastic that some couches come wrapped in. Complete rip off.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bobkona Seattle Sofa & Loveseat, September 18, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Bobkona Seattle Microfiber Sofa and Loveseat 2-Piece Set in Chocolate Color (Kitchen)
    I was very skeptical when my sofa & loveseat came in two long boxes. I ordered these because they were the cheapest set on Amazon and after moving to a new location I was strapped for cash. By looking at the boxes, I couldn't believe it actually contained a sofa and loveseat. When I opened the boxes, I sprayed down the insides of the sofa & loveseat with bedbug spray because I had these pests years ago and didn't know how they entered my last apartment before so I was being extra cautious this time. Trust me, a $3.00 bottle of bedbug spray will save you tons of money & the headache of trying to get rid of these vampires. Too many people had these bugs hitchhike in their homes via old & new furniture.

    Some of the cushions were neatly packed underneath the sofa and loveseat and just needed to be pulled out and placed in position. The screws were a bit of a challenge but wasn't too bad to maneuver. This set came with 3 throw pillows that matches the set perfectly. I put... Read more

    The sofa and loveseat are beautiful. They arrived on time, without issue. Were very easy to assemble. Small in size, but perfect for a smaller room. Only con, very stiff cushions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Met all expectations., December 27, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Bobkona Seattle Microfiber Sofa and Loveseat 2-Piece Set in Chocolate Color (Kitchen)
    I'll start off by saying that I did not have extremely high expectations. All I wanted was a cheap couch that was comfortable to sit on, look decent, and felt sturdy. This couch set delivered on all three fronts and I've had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. The set was quick and easy to assemble, and everything looked as advertised.

    I will note that the cushions may be stiff for some, but this is more of a preference as I enjoy a firmer couch.
