We review the work, not the window display.

How a review is weighed

• Materials. What the work is made from, and whether it is named plainly.
• Construction. How parts are joined, and whether the joins are meant to last.
• Finish. The surface, the edges, the small corrections a careful hand leaves.
• Standards. Which published guidance or disclosure the maker can stand behind.

• We describe what we examined before we offer a view, so the reasoning is visible.
• We link the standard or consumer guidance instead of asserting a number we cannot show.
• We separate a matter of taste from a matter of construction, and we say which is which.
