2.0 out of 5 stars This magazine is like sex. Sometime you blow her mind, most of the time she falls asleep unsatisfied. , April 30, 2008

By	Adam S. Johnson (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

SOMETIMES this magazine is full of so much awesomeness cover to cover. The projects are really cool and explained really well.

MOST of the time, however, this magazine is TOTALLY LAME. Most of the projects are made from junk and they look like they were made by a homeless person. "Oh, cool. You made a fruit bowl out of construction netting. What a neat and thrifty idea for a college student. Too bad you're 35 and haven't been in college in 12 years. You're apartment looks like a thrift store. No wonder you're still single."

If I have to read one more article about how Readymade has been a "green" magazine for x number of years before it got trendy I'm going to order 500 subscriptions and cut all of them up into tiny pieces and DUMP IT ALL IN THE OCEAN.

Most of the projects are made from modified IKEA products. Well, the closest IKEA is 4 hours away, and their shipping prices are through the roof. Thanks for that USELESS ARTICLE on how to make a (insert energy/water saving trendy thing here) out of a crappy bookcase.

Also, WHY ARE THERE ALBUM REVIEWS?!?!? AND CRAPPY ELITIST INDIE MUSIC AT THAT! PETER, BJORN, AND JOHN ARE NOT GOING TO INCREASE MY ABILITY TO INSTALL A TRAP DOOR IN MY KITCHEN!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like an addiction . . ., February 3, 2004

By	Cat (Providence, RI) - See all my reviews

Anyone who subscribes to this magazine will tell you that once you start, you can't stop. Filled with DIY projects, this magazine is the thing for any impoverished 20-something looking to fill their home with trendy, innovative, homemade stuff. In addition to the many projects which have ranged from sewing your own ties and skirts from old pillowcases to how to build a brick BBQ, the magazine also features articles on things like "how to seem like you read lots of newspapers" or "how to get on a TV game show". Once I get this magazine in my box, I can't put it down till I've read it cover to cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars hit or miss magazine, good luck with your subscription, January 18, 2005

By	James Roche "cooljames" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The magazine is hit or miss. Sometimes I'm like "Wow", other times I'm like "duh". They're about 1 "Wow" and 2 "duh"s for me, even though I bought a year subscription a little less than a year ago. [...]

My advice? Skim it on the newsstand and buy it if you see something compelling. The spirit of the magazine is awesome. The content of the magazine is usually OK, sometimes good, never awesome. If you see something you like, sort of like if you see a good recipe while browsing for cookbooks, pick it up.
