Average Rating: Rating: - Publish More Issues Annually! Having followed Met Home since its infancy (as Apartment Life!), I respect it for its mix of visuals as well as lack of pretension. Always loaded with ideas--albeit dreamy at times, but what "shelter book" isn't?--it's grounded in "modern" (i.e., crisp, clean) that may not appeal to every taste...but it serves its niche extremely well. I also like the fact that each issue generally includes an article with a "socially conscious" theme. My only beef: 6 times a year is not enough. I understand the economics of publishing, but 8-10 issues a year would be welcomed! Rating: - Good bathtime reading. Nothing challenging here. Rather than offering interesting architectural and design fare, MH is a decorating magazine full of expensive items (most of the most interesting ones are in advertisements, of which this magazine is at least 50%) that most people cannot afford. The articles are well-written in a good, direct style that doesn't attempt to impress with name-dropping ("Architectural Digest") or insist that design is a political action committee ("Dwell"). My biggest gripe is that the article headings promise much, but the delivery is scanty. Rather than give the reader something to really ponder (say, a design problem or an unexpected renovation snafu and its respective solution), the articles, despite their admirably simple, terse style, ultimately talk down to the reader. I would advise going to the supermarket and paging through MH before subscribing. I would really like to subscribe to a magazine that discusses great home design and features truly innovative approaches in a modern style devoid of the minimalist, warehouse affectation that has become so tired, yet is still the coin of the realm. P.S. MH, please ditch the recipes - I have that subscription already. Rating: - You get what you pay for. This magazine should be free, since there are so many advertisements. Also, it is strictly modern decorating, unlike the editor's claims. If you like extreme, modern style, try it out; otherwise invest in something else.
