This theme was a complete waste of time and money for me. Purchased it for use with my consulting company where clients have their own backend dashboard to follow project progress. The theme caused several of my vital plugins to fail, so client updates weren't automatically propagated to the dash, in addition to a few other minor issues. Mentioned it to seller who replied that he tested the theme with plugins and it works fine, lol. Deactivated the theme and everything worked beautifully. If you need this theme to do any kind of heavy lifting, I would definitely avoid it until several updates have been published to ensure you aren't wasting your money. If you need this for a basic blog and nothing more, it should work just fine. My developer ended up going with the Hemlock theme and my site came together perfectly.
