50% off the rate? June 30, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The magazine is great, so I jumped at the offer to get it at 50% off from Amazon. I find it a bit deceptive, however, that this is the normal price for an annual subscription (check their website at www.dwell.com).
Why waste the time fooling your customers...who I expect are generally smarter shoppers. Thanks, but no thanks, Amazon.
Subscription. NOT. May 1, 2008 2 out of 12 found this review helpful
I can't comment on the magazine since I ordered it in December and it's now May and I haven't received the first issue.

Interesting February 28, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Overall, I enjoy this magazine and look forward to it arriving in my mailbox. Like all periodicals, some issues are hit or miss, but overall it's an interesting read. The feel of the magazine is exceptional--with a beautiful matte cover, and substantial pages, it's like a little picture book unto itself. The main push is in extremely cunning, modern designs, so if you prefer a more traditional look [read: not less-is-more] or are not interested in modern technologies for the home, perhaps this isn't your bag. I enjoy articles profiling designers, getting a glimpse into others' homes, making the most of small spaces, and learning about homes on a more global basis. Their fresh take on technologies and going green is very refreshing, and waaay beyond the old "install a CFL light bulb and you're green!". I must admit, however, that Dwell does seem to be California-heavy and has a lot of articles on architects and their homes or extremely expensive furniture, but they still branch out enough to give one a sense of, say, the use of color in India, floating homes in the Netherlands, or homes built as urban infill. They have also been doing a great job recently exploring smaller homes and apartments, a breath of fresh air from others in this business. It's a good and worthwhile read that will help you explore non-traditional materials, designs, and thoughts on the industry of "home".
Oh puh-lease November 1, 2007 10 out of 40 found this review helpful
The magazine is ridiculous. The people in this magazine are a bunch of pretentious yuppies and art students posing as architects. People who are interested in $2,000 baths should have more interest in feeding starving children around the world. I received this mag as a gift and canceled the subscription anyway. Elitist Rubbish.
