Good quality, just the color I hoped for
The seller responded very promptly to a pre-sales question about machine washability (yes). My order arrived well before the due date. The cover is well made with good quality medium weight fabric and professional quality stitching, and fits the footstool cushion perfectly, with just enough room to spare to make it easy to put on, but not loose.
The velcro strip that attaches it to the footstool is slightly off, but that could be an issue with nonstandard placement of the velcro on my footstool. When I tried it on a different footstool it was fine. If variability of the velcro strip on the stool is a common problem, maybe a wider velcro strip on the cover would be able to accommodate a range of velcro placements on the stool..
I chose the cream-coffee linen blend because it looked greenish, despite the name. I probably would have ordered a new cover for the chair at the same time if the name of the color had matched what the color looked like, but I was a little confused about the actual color, since it looked green, but was called "cream-coffee." I decided to just get the footstool cover first and see if it was green or beige before buying the more expensive cover for the chair. It looks exactly like the picture, a kind of pale, tweedy green. I don't know why it is called "cream-coffee" since it is neither off-white nor brown.
All in all, I am very pleased with this product, and the price, and I would recommend it to other Poang footstool owners.

Great sound, latex-free
I bought these ear buds because another reviewer mentioned the covers were latex-free. Like her, I am mildly allergic to latex. In theory, I only needed to get latex-free covers, but it was really hard to find them. I was happy with my Panasonic RPHJE120K in-ear headphones, which were half the price of the JBLs and very durable, but I was getting really tired of itchy, scaling ears.
Even though I didn't buy them for sound quality, the difference with the JBLs was immediately obvious. I listen to a lot of old time radio, and suddenly everything sounds like it's been remastered. It is easier to equalize out annoying background buzzes too, so that I am now able to listen to programs I previously passed on as unlistenable.
I spent weeks out of my life untangling the Panasonic ear bud cables. The JBLs are just as long (which is good), but all I need to do is shake them a few times, and they literally untangle themselves. I don't love that the cables retain a lot of curliness from their original packaging, but that seems to be slowly relaxing.
I didn't think I cared about the carrying pouch since you can pick one of those up anywhere, but I never did get around to doing that with my previous buds, and it is nice to have a way to keep my buds from getting tangled with comb, keys, etc.
I do miss the L-shaped plug on the Panasonic buds, which kept the cord out of the way better when I was holding my phone, but in every other way, this purchase not only met, but exceeded my expectations. I'll try to remember to update on their durability when I've had them for a year or two.

Great value, color not as flashy as you might expect
I apply new keyboard stickers every year or two. Not only do they help me type in Korean, they refresh the English letters, which have gotten a little dim.
Usually I prefer white letters for my black keyboard, but this time I wanted something that would show up better in low light, so I tried the bright yellow-green ones. I was afraid they might be too garish, but they aren't as loud as I feared. They are more yellow than green, and they do show up better in low light (see photos).
The ink wasn't applied evenly across the sticker sheet. A few letters (F, D, Y and Z) were less bright than others. One of these letters is frequently used and wears off sooner than the others anyway, so this shortens the life of the whole set. I was mildly disappointed, and subtracted one star for this, but for 1.99 including shipping, I'm not too upset about it.
These stickers go on quickly the first time you use them, but make sure they are straight before you press them down, as it is easy to tear them if you need to take them off and reposition. I aligned mine to the bottom of the key, but my hand blocked my view of the rest of the sticker, and as you can see, a few of them are not quite straight. Probably better to align to one side of the key.
They are not too hard to get off if you have good fingernails and don't care about tearing them (the stickers, not the fingernails). However, they do leave a sticky residue. Prepare to spend 1/2 an hour with alcohol and a LOT of q-tips removing it. Apply the alcohol with a rag to several letters at a time, as it takes a minute to loosen the gum. Then go back to the first one and start rubbing. Maybe you could just put new ones on over the the leftover gum from the previous set, but I'm always afraid that will make the surface of my keys uneven, so I have never tried it.
The last time I ordered keyboard stickers was almost two years ago, (white on black, same eBay vendor), so they hold up pretty well. Eventually the ink wears off with use, but I have never had problems with them peeling or anything like that. I have never bought keyboard stickers from anyone else, so I don't know how they compare, but I keep coming back.
