Ikea Pax Beech Wardrobe With Mirror Review

Posted by Annie B. Williams on Jul-4-2010

Are you in the market for extra storage for your home? An Ikea Pax beech wardrobe with mirror doors will add not only storage for clothing and other items, but will add a classy look.

You can choose from several different sizes of Pax wardrobes, and are sure to find one just the right size to fit whatever space you have. Narrow one compartment units to those eight feet wide are available, with several sizes in between. Choose hinged doors or with the larger units, space saving sliding doors.

You can choose from several door types for your wardrobe, from laminates to wood finishes to tempered glass or mirrors. Be aware that the mirror or glass doors are very heavy, and if the unit has a hinged door, this weight could possibly cause it to tip. Doors that are hinged can be hung on either side.

The frames or cabinets are made of particle board, as are most Ikea products. Each frame comes with adjustable feet, making it easy to level the unit before you fasten it to the wall. It is recommended to attach all wardrobes to the wall so they do not topple over when the doors are opened or the drawers fully extended.

Of the door finishes available, the wood ones like oak, beech or birch add a traditional look, while others like laminates and aluminum will suit a room with more modern decor. Be aware that not just the frame or cabinets, but also the doors come in pieces, and take some assembly.

Be prepared to have an assistant help you in assembling your wardrobe, as the pieces are large and awkward, not to mention heavy. Allow at least four hours for assembly, and be prepared to spend enough time to fully understand each step before you tackle putting it together.

Tools and all the machines and cords that go along with them can generate a bit of a space dilemma that can get uncontrollable before you know it.

Canes, Walking Sticks Centuries Old

Posted by Bob Dull on May-26-2010

The European gentleman’s wardrobe went through a change around the 17th and 18th century. A strong strong stick became part of the wardrobe, replacing the sword. The walking staff became a substitution for the sword as a weapon.

Walking sticks today are more like a device to assist people when they are walking helping them to balance themselves. There are several styles and sizes of walking sticks and they are even sought after by collectors.

Walking sticks are also known to be called trekking poles, hiking poles and pilgrim’s staffs. Hikers use them for many reasons, like to clear spiderwebs or to part thick bushes, a support to go uphill and a brake when going downhill. Also they are used to balance yourself when crossing streams, mud puddles or defense against wild animals.

In North America canes walking sticks have a curved top just like candy canes and they are just a bit longer. They are made using strong wood or metal. Presidents of the U.S. have received them at times as a gift. Our first president George Washington received a beautiful cane from Benjamin Franklin, it features a gold handle and its form is like a Phrygia cap. If you visit the Smithsonian sometime you will be able to see it. Canes or walking sticks like these today are only seen when a person is wearing some formal attire.

Collectors are always seeking new, old or novel canes. They’re even searching for canes that are Retractable or have hidden compartments. Collectible canes with compartments that are concealed were used back in the day to hold a flask of alcohol. These typed of canes were known as Tippling Canes.

Canes walking sticks are basically used today to provide stabilization of the individual using it. It is generally utilized in the hand opposite the side of the injury or the persons weak side. This permits anyone to shift as much weight as possible from the weak side. However some do use the cane for taking the pressure off the injured side.

A little story that happened in our congress one day years ago…

In a violent episode inside the U.S. Congress, Charles Sumner of Massachusetts called Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois a “noisome squat and nameless animal” and brutally insulted Andrew Butler of South Carolina for a congenital deformity. Whenever a relative of Andrew Butler, Preston Brooks, heard of it, he felt that Sumner’s behavior merited less than a duel and thus beat him senseless on the floor of the Senate using a wooden walking cane. Although this event is often generally known as “the caning of Senator Charles Sumner”, it was not a caning in the traditional (esp. British) sense of formal corporal punishment with a much more flexible and usually thinner rattan.

There are many kinds of canes, here listed below are just a few.

* The Blind and the visually impaired use a white cane to get around. The white color and the style signal others of their impairment. The canes the blind use are longer and thinner so they can be used to find their way around.

* The type that are adjustable have telescoping shafts, this allows the user to lengthen or shorten the cane as needed when walking.

* Folding canes generally have several joints, they are connected together by an internal elastic cord, this permits them to shorten the length when they are not being used.

* Quad canes as they are called have four legs at the bottom. This type of cane “The Quad” allows for more stability while they are standing.

The elderly and even the younger people with disabilities need canes walking sticks to get around. They are not use to much today as a type of fashionable item hooked to our arm. However to those who need them they provide a great service and allow the people using them to be able to do things that without the canes they could not and would be at a disadvantage.
