How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Great book but unfortunately received in very bad condition. Sent back our first order for damage, but the second order was also in the same poor condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting, informative and beautiful book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2016

"As a designer and manufacturer of mid century style school chairs ourselves, this book was a welcomed must have for us. Not only is it a hugely interesting and informative reference manual for the enthusiast but it is also so beautifully presented it will sit wonderfully anywhere for people to flick through or immerse themselves in. Anyone into design, style or art will love it.” Olivia and Lesley of Olivia Scott-Taylor Chairs

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly written and researched book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2017

Lucy Ryder Richardson really knows what she talking about in this superbly written and researched book. I am sure it will become an essential reference book, full of valuable and useful information.
Being a Anglo Danish designer it's great to see so many Danish chairs in the top 100!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book - Great Read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2017
I purchased this book directly from Lucy at one of the Midcentury Modern shows she Co-Organises. A great resource and a wonderful read.
You'll go through the first time and just look at the great pictures of some of the finest chairs ever made, and then you'll read it and discover the stories behind the designs from some of the best designers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but edges torn up
Reviewed in Canada on 15 September 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a classic! I really like the content of the book. However, it does not look good enough to use as a coffee table book which I was hoping to do as the edges were torn up when I received the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
Reviewed in the United States on 24 March 2020
Verified Purchase
If you love mid-century modern, you must have this book. Of course, it doesn't have EVERY chair by EVERY designer from the period, but it has a good number and some of the coolest ones. I have three chairs that are featured in the book, and I love having the book to "legitimize" my purchases. It also tells the backstory for each chair. Great reference book or coffee table book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Packaging wrecked book
Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2020
Verified Purchase
I am sure I will love this book. But not the one that was shipped to me. It was put in a big box with two other items. It bounced around the box and damaged the corners enough that I don't want it. I will be returning it.

Very nice interesting book. Looks good on my mid century modern coffee table. Too bad the person who packed it bubble wrapped on all sides except the front which left some marks.🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
