Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.

Product care

Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

Product details

Made possible by exploring innovative molded plywood techniques, Iskos-Berlin’s Soft Edge Chair blends strong curves with extreme lightness to create a three-dimensionality not usually possible with 2-D plywood.

    Great deck
    L – US Games Centennial, R – Da Brigh OriginalI own the pocket centennial deck but wanted a full size version of the RWS deck. Decided to purchase this one because it has no copyright on the cards and has a linen finish. The colors are more muted than the standard US Games version, but more vibrant than the centennial (which is still my favorite coloring).- The vector art does take away some of the original linework, but not to a degree that I’d say detracts from the art. I also prefer the texture of the solid colors from the centennial edition, but untextured backgrounds are pretty common in most versions of the deck so it’s not a big deal.- The lack of copyright on the cards is a HUGE plus and was the only reason why I didn’t buy the full size centennial edition.- I LOVE the linen finish. It’s really nice on the hands, but may or may not be a dealbreaker for you because it is visually noticeable (especially in the light). I personally very much prefer the tactile feeling. The finish also diffuses a bit of glare.- The cardstock is fairly thick and sturdy. It’s hard to riffle shuffle with a full deck and you’ll likely have to split the deck for any type of shuffling that requires flexibility. It’s also not for small hands like mine, but that applies to all full-size tarot decks, haha.- The booklet is pretty hefty for a LWB. Bonus points for the full color print.Some of the negative reviews are likely outdated. The deck doesn’t feel like a knockoff at all and the quality is better than some other decks I’ve owned.

    The Deck I Have Been Looking For
    This is the RWS deck I have been looking for.The colors are neither as garish as the yellow-box Rider nor as gloomy as the Centennial Rider-Waite. The colors of the Radiant and Universal are beautiful, and I often refer to those cards when I want to make out small details, but… while calling them cartoonish would be going too far, they do seem somewhat lifeless to me. The line work of this deck quite crisp, but it retains the “earthy” feel of cannonical decks like the Centennial and yellow-box Rider.The card backs are symmetrical and have a really nice antique look.The card stock is terrific. The cards have a very tactile linen finish and essentially no glare. The stock is thick and sturdy: the deck is close to a quarter inch thicker than a typical US Games deck.The lettering is Smith’s hand-drawn characters, rather than a typeface, and… (drumroll please), no copyright symbol on the card faces!The enclosed guidebook is well made and well written, with color images of every card. It’s a clear step up of from a typical little white book.I think the deck is essentially perfect. I can’t think of anything to change or improve.

    Beautiful Deck – Has 3 versions of “The Lovers” Card
    The great reviews favoring this deck were not exaggerated. It is a beautifully rendered improvement on RWS decks that had been produced in recent years (complete with branding on the card face). This deck has none of the blurry coloring, branding or “game” card feel of recent RWS decks. For years, I lamented giving away RWS decks from decades ago; the quality lately has been so poor.The finish of the cardstock on this deck is great quality and really lends itself to bringing out the clarity and beautiful colors of the deck. Would highly recommend to any “old school” tarot readers who have been missing quality in the classic RWS decks.

    Great Customer Service
    One of my cards fell on the floor and was chewed up by my puppy. I reached out to the Da Brigh team and they were so lovely in helping me replace the card.Cards are great- but the customer service is what has me planning to be a repeat customer!Thank you Da Brigh team!

    Quality control issues
    All in all, I like the feel, size, and colors of this deck. Only complaint that I’ve experienced with this purchase and other tarot deck purchases on Amazon is they are always packaged in an envelope and the boxes get damaged. My fool card is bent in one corner and is visible from both sides of the card. Other critique is while I received a complete deck, I received 3 lovers cards. Guess I’ll keep them for fun or a craft project.

    Estuve viendo varios Tarot y este en definitiva me gusto mucho porque las cartas no son pequeñas como otros que se anuncian, la textura es muy linda y el material se ve de muy buena calidad. Los colores e imágenes son muy claras y los colores vivos. Sin duda alguna lo recomiendo ampliamente.

    I love the linen cardstock and the colouring on this deck. It’s a beautiful version of the RWS. Shuffles amazingly.
