One of my favorite TV shows ever, in a wonderful boxed set!
When I saw that "Desperate Housewives" was coming in a boxed set format, I immediately sold my 7 individual sets on Eb@y and pre-ordered this set. I am SO glad I did.
The box is not wood, as many people on message boards have been asking. However, it is a very sturdy, thick, pressed cardboard (one of the sturdiest box sets I've seen) covered with a beautiful glossy finish. Inside you will find the individual season sets in the dreaded thin slip cases. I know many people complain about these, but really, I have never had any discs that came in this type of holder to be permanently damaged. I have had some surface scuffs in the past, but nothing that ever affected the playback. The individual seasons are the same as the previous releases, with all the same features, just in these slip cases. The artwork on these slip cases are not of the previous releases...these match each other...but the artwork on the discs all appear to be from the previous releases. I would also like to note that I have had no issues as far as glue being on the discs, discs being dislodged, or any of the issues that I have noticed in other reviews. Perhaps I lucked up with a good, clean set...?
The bonus disc comes in a cute little apple shaped sleeve, and has the following features:
The End of the Lane: Last Days on Set
Curtain Call: The Desperate Housewives Family
Cherry Cam(eo)
Desperately Dead
More From the Series (which consists of some new bonus features from Seasons 3 & 5)
Finally, there is a note from Marc Cherry, printed on a thick paper stock (about 5x7 inches) that looks much like a wedding invitation, with embossed designs, where he is basically telling the origins of the show idea and thanks the fans.
I love this set, and I am planning to revisit the women, men and all the rest of the residents of Wisteria Lane from beginning to end. And I'm sure I will revisit them again & again in the years to come.

This is my experience:
Me: Thank you for contacting me. I am not satisfied. You sent me a set from Europe. I am in the States and need a set that is compatible with the DVD/blueray players that we have over here.
Thank you
Them: Hello.
This listing is for Region 2 DVD movie. On the top of the listing page
you can see a big sign:
"Playback Region 2: This will not play on most DVD players sold in the
U.S., U.S. Territories, Canada, and Bermuda"
You need to have region 2 or region free DVD player to watch this movie.
Also there was a sticker on the item with sign: "Before you'll open this item we remind you that the listing of this item is region 2!!! This item will work only on Region 2 or region free DVD player!" But that's ok you can send the item back to us and we will make a full refund to you if the item is unopened, or 70% refund if the item is opened. Our address is:

P.P.S. Just want to let you know, that you can buy a region free
DVD/Blu-Ray player in any electronic store for same amount as US DVD/Blu-Ray player. You will be able to watch any movies with
different region codes.
Me: Ok, you are listing in America. I had no idea I would have to look for such details. I opened the cellophane because I wasnt sure what the region info was about. I will return it and if I receive 100% refund I will give you an excellent review. If I receive 70% refund I will give you a horrible review. Your choice but I suggest you no longer post in the States.

I love Desperate Housewives! I 'grew up' with this show through it's original run, so I am overjoyed to see a Complete Series release. The set itself is truly adorable, with the box designed to look like a wooden chest, featuring gold detailing around the corners and a 'keyhole' to unlock the secrets of Wisteria Lane. The top of the box is embossed with the Adam and Eve design from the opening credits. Inside, the DVDs are housed in various books representing each of the seasons, four on each side. To me, they resemble photo albums and they sport quotes from the shows as well as stills from certain episodes. The bonus disc is housed in a separate sleeve designed to look like an apple. Indeed, apples are featured throughout the box set, one being showcased on the underside of the lid in rich, gleaming crimson and the season books each feature an apple in the stages of being eaten, until only the core remains on the back of the final season. All in all, I could not be happier with Buena Vista and their treatment of this iconic show! The set is rich in detail and most certainly appears like a collector's piece. For true Desperate Housewives fans like myself, it is a piece worthy of pride! Bravo!

First off this is a great set and at a great price. Yes it does have cardboard sleeves that everyone complains about, but these sets would be a lot more expensive if they weren't. Secondly, this is a REGION B REQUIRED. If you do not own a multi region Blu Ray player this will not work! It was say disc error. There is no way around this. Some Xbox Ones and PS4 allow this region, but depending on where you bought it.
Final thoughts: Excellent set and price is great. Don't complain about the set when you didn't read the very large print about it being REGION B! Definitely worth the buy!!!!!

Reviewed in Mexico on July 20, 2017
Esta fue la primer serie que vi en mi vida y me dio gusta encontrarla completa al fin en DVD.
La presentación es hermosa. Todos los discos están grabados, serigrafiados con imágenes de las protagonistas. El audio en Español Latino como los especifica en la caja, solo esta en las temporadas 1-4 y 6, las demás solo en Ingles con subtitulos.
Sin embargo, hay pequeños detalles que me angustian mucho de esta presentación (OJO): Los 46 discos vienen en en dos cajas grandes. Pero los discos vienen encimados uno sobre el otro !!! Lo cual me preocupa de que con el tiempo se rayen por giran unos sobre otros. En un solo lado donde solo deberían venir 2 discos, vienen 4 encimados !!!! Además para sacarlos, es un problema muy grande. Vienen terriblemente reforzados. Me estresa el tratar de querer sacarlos por tener miedo a quebrarlos. La solución es sencilla vaya, tendré que comprar otro tipo de estuches por separado. Pero es una lastima que no los pueda conservar en su empaque original por estos inconvenientes.
Resumiendo... es un super producto, la serie es increíble, tiene doblaje, pero su presentación me deja mucho que desear. Aún así los invito a que lo compren si se consideran fans de la misma.
Gracias Amazon.
