Useless Reviews

I love that I can read reviews of products I want to buy ahead of time. About 80% of all my research comes from reviews, editors and users alike. Editor reviews are great but sometimes they are a little over your head, especially when it comes to electronics. Which is why I love user reviews. The only problem? Sometimes, they are completely useless. Like today, I'm reading reviews on a convertible crib I'm thinking of getting/registering for. 103 reviews and none a single one of them are by people who have used it! I see reviews for whether the espresso color really is espresso or a dark cherry. I see reviews for how long it took to put the crib together (while that is a little bit useful, why is the putting together alone deserves 5 stars???). I see reviews about the store's handling of returns. There's even one that griped about the fact she couldn't find instructions anywhere. Really? You needed to write a review of the product based on that? In the 11 pages of reviews, not one wrote whether their kid like or dislike the crib. Whether or not the rail that slides down gave them trouble. So until I find something more substantial than "It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to put it together", I think I'll pass.
