Colour frontispiece, hors-texte plates with photographs and drawings by Beaton, text illustrations by Beaton, Rex Whistler, Christian Bérard and others. "Ashcombe" is the name of the country house in the Wiltshire Downs whose lease Cecil Beaton held for fifteen years from 1930. In this book Mr. Beaton has wonderfully succeeded in recreating the atmosphere of those days: the period when the house and garden were being made over from their former unkempt and derelict state into the idyllic home which they later became; the day-to-day life of the house and of the servants and friends who did so much to create the atmosphere; the week-ends, when there would be visits from Rex Whistler, Edith Olivier, Augustus John, Tilly Losch, Lord David Cecil, and so many others; and the parties and fetes-champetres, occasions which are likely never to be forgotten either by the guests or their host'. Beaton was said to be heartbroken when his lease to Ashcombe expired in 1945 and this book is his ode to the house and the good-times experienced there.

Quality valet tray, darker brown
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Sizing is as described and it is sturdy and well-made, but color is not quite as shown in the product images, more of a darker brown.

Absolute Gamechanger
Color: *Black
I went from casually dropping everything onto my nightstand in it’s designated spot to actually being able to store things neatly. The organization is insanely satisfying on top of just looking better than a bunch of loose items on a table. The size is quite large but you should know what you are getting. This tray offers a ton of storage for both small and large pocketable items. I even have a bit of extra room for my glasses or future EDC. Build quality is insanely solid and I have no qualms with how it functions. Worth the money.

Almost Great
Color: *Black
This is a better-quality night-table/desktop organizer with enough space to put most of your EDC or pocket items, including cell phones, chargers and even some jewelry. Definitely better than most others and worth the price. The only reason it didn't get a fifth star was the placement/ergonomics of the charges/wires. there are two (2) holes for wires for phones. There are more than enough spaces for phones, and other devices. The holes are just too small for more than 1 or 2 wires. not enough room. There is a great cut out on the size for pens, and another area for jewelry or cuff links. well thought out - but again, a tad small for today's user. Overall, well made, looks nice, can fit almost everything
