Deeply disappointed at the decision to make this a SC purchase rather than basic carpenter-crafted items, but like others I'm torn a little by the fact the items exist at all (I've been asking for them long enough, after all).
I doubt I'd be getting these as sets or en masse, - far too expensive for anyone with a serious decorating habit - but I'm likely to get the odd piece on occasion when I just can't manage to construct what I need from items already ingame (the round disc, tall thin cylinder and above all, the plain plank are things that I know I'll find useful as the lack of items of these types has frustrated me for ages).
[EDIT] Seemingly the plank is called a 'railing'. Having just spent a week or so coming up with a number of failures as ideas to make bannisters and a sloping railing that look right, I can ... sort of ... appreciate columns and railings, quite a lot. But I still wouldn't want to have had to pay 700 SC to build my little bit of staircase decoration.
