Review
"A handsome and very useful book." — Robert A.M. Stern, AIA
"This book is both a wonderful read and an invaluable reference tool. It gives us an appreciation for how little the basic forms of furniture have changed over thousands of years and how constant the human desire to decorate." — Christine Fiorelli, Editor, Living with Antiques, New England Antiques Journal
"The illustrations, color photographs, and interesting text creates the perfect refresher course for the practicing interior designer or architect. No designer should be without this book in their library." Louis Postel, Editor and Publisher, Design Times Magazine
"Treena has been a regular and greatly anticipated guest on both of my national radio shows broadcasting across Canada. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of furniture design and decor is unsurpassed. The book is a 'must have' reference for anyone who considers themselves a student of design. I wouldn't be without one!" — Cheryll Gillespie, National Home Expert, Designer and Broadcaster

Excellent Reference - Nice Job!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Designer's Guide to Furniture Styles (Hardcover)
I found the book to be a good overall reference and extremelyuseful in explaining period furniture to my design clients. I would like to have seen more coverage of Mid-century Modern, especially the work of Edward Wormley and DUNBAR. Definitely worth the money - should be all designers reference

Ms. Crochet has done her homework.,
This review is from: Designer's Guide to Furniture Styles (Hardcover)
If you are passionate about the origins of furniture and design, this is the resource for you. Pricey, yes, but I don't think it was meant for the casual home decor reader. It is more suited to the "die-hard" lover of furnishings, design history, and serious learners.I love it. It seems to fill a void; and promises to be the "definitive" book on the subject of furniture through the ages.
