A+ Childsupply Coat Locker - 47.5 in.

A+ Childsupply Coat Locker No.F8062I don't know why this is labeled a toy, it's actually a nice storage/cubby unit. This is a great size for storage. There are four of us in the family and we each have our own compartment plus one extra for common household storage. Each cubby has two sets of hooks and plenty of room for shoes, hats, lunch boxes, purses, etc. We put this inside a closet so we left it the way it came, but it would be easy to paint. You assemble and add the hardware so you could paint before attaching the hardware. It's really a great product if you need some extra storage or you need a place for kids to drop their things (besides the floor!) when they get home from school.

Winsome Wood Milan Wood 4 Tier Open Cabinet in Antique Walnut Finish and 5 Rattan Baskets; 1 Large

Winsome Wood Milan Wood 4 Tier Open Cabinet in Antique Walnut Finish and 5 Rattan Baskets; 1 Large and 4 Small in Espresso FinishOnce assembled, this unit looks very nice indeed. Note that it is a little difficult to assemble -and I've built a lot of furniture over the years -but once you've got it together, it's quite sturdy and looks great. Its appearance certainly belies the price. I am impressed, and very pleased with it.

Looks great in home office as storage, perfect fit for what we needed. Shelf on top holds our Bluetooth speaker great, or a plant or whatever. Finished product looks exactly like pic, and very fashionable and functional. Perfect height and a lot of storage.

Only draw back? A bit HARD to assemble at one critical junction. Everything went fine except for when TRYING to get the cheap thin dark stained ply-board backing on correctly. OK.. let me tell you there were some expletives, sweat and tears being thrown out that day. THAT was the only hard thing, but it was the one thing that tied it all together. So not like you could skip it. What went wrong? Well, the tracks/grooves for the 2 back pieces were not deep, and the pieces ALWAYS popped out JUST when you think you had it together, then had to UNDO everything I did, to get it BACK in the track. Then the vicious cycle would start all over again.

BUT.. once we got past that hurtle (I want to say we did a little improv with a drill and some mini screws) to help us along the way, it is a great piece of furniture.

Would I buy another... YES.

Now, for those folks who want a solid hardwood heirloom quality item, remember, this is what it is, and for under 200 bucks, it was a good deal. If you want something super solid and built to last for generations, go to a furniture store and pay $1000 $3000. I wanted something that LOOKED expensive but was affordable and served a big purpose. We use this every day and it looks great. Assembly could have been better, but guess I got my workout in on that fateful day ;-)

This is a nice little shelf if you need a bit of extra storage space. First off, this is definitely a "discount" furniture item. It looks nice & isn't something you'll want to hide, but it is relatively cheaply made. Of course, for under $200 it is exactly what I was expecting, so just be aware of what quality you should expect before buying. If you want nice solid wood that will last, go to a furniture store & be prepared to spend $1000 or more. This is much more along the lines of a cheaper IKEA flat-pack item which will last if you don't abuse it, but is by no means a solid piece of furniture.

Assembly was a bit of a hassle (as others have noted), especially the back pieces. I attempted to do this as a 1-man job and was ultimately successful, but having a second person around to hold things stable while you screw all the pieces together is definitely recommended. Other than those back pieces, most of the parts went together easily & it hasn't shown any signs of instability.

The wicker baskets look nice, but I didn't find them very useful when used with the shelf. Using them cuts down on the total storage space available on the shelves (except for the large one shown on the bottom in the picture, which we still use), and they are kind of scratchy which could leave marks in the wood & scratch off the finish. They do, however, make excellent storage bins, so they now sit in a closet to hold things that were previously scattered on the floor.

Lastly, this has the benefit of being part of a cheap collection, so if you do like it & you want to match new furniture purchases to it, there are several other items that would complement it (most of them linked from the product page).

This item was delivered the 1st time broken. It comes in 3 packages. It took me like 2 hours to put together. The shelves and the whole unit is really made of a thin ply board. I would never order from this collection again. The craftsmanship for the price is just not there. I would of rather spend more money for better quality. You just can't set something really heavy on the shelf, it probably would collapse. Was very difficult to put together. U have to use a key to put the screws in. It will serve its purpose for me but I would not recommend anyone buy this junk.

I ordered this item for use in a bedroom. It was easy to put together, less than an hour with just myself putting it together. It looks very nice just as anticpated. I would purchase another in this furniture line. Delivery was earlier than expected. Price was better than what I could find in local stores.

Baseball Shelf- Large 25" Round Wood Sports Shelf

Baseball Shelf- Large 25' Round Wood Sports ShelfI ordered this to display my son's baseball trophies. It is a very nice shelf and I love that you can customize it. It comes with so many options for displaying any type of object bat, balls, hat, jersey as well as the trophies. It arrived quickly and was easy to install. I would like to be able to purchase additional accessories but haven't found an option to do that yet.

Inter-LOK IL8489001 Two Cabinet and Three-Shelf Storage System

Inter-LOK IL8489001 Two Cabinet and Three-Shelf Storage SystemBought 8 of these cabinets a year ago for the garage. Very easy to snap together and they look good. We have not overloaded the shelves but both the cabinet shelves and the long between-cabinet add-on shelves are now sagging. So I can't say I would buy these again.

John Louis Home Standard Stand Alone Tower

John Louis Home JLH-625 Standard Stand Alone Tower, Red MahoganyGood, quality product. However, to sell it without the shelves is not only ridiculous, it is more than a little misleading.

Then to charge the equivalent of the the original shelving unit, for the shelves themselves was another slap in the face.

I really like the John Louis products and have used them in our master closet. We purchased these towers to add more storage for shoes and had no idea that it didn't come with shelves. This information is hidden in the product description and really should be part of the bulleted Product Features list. Though I am at fault for not reading carefully enough I think that for the amount that we paid for these, they should come with SOME shelves.

Buy John Louis Home Standard Stand Alone Tower Now

Photo in product description shows unit with shelfes, which are NOT part of the package and have to be ordered in addition. Very misleading. Photo should show what you get with your order and not what possibilities you have when buying additional shelfes. Unit just comes with left and right frame and top and bottom, creating an empty box with no storage possibilities. At least 2 shelfes should be included.

I was very disappointed in the stand alone towers. It was not clear from the description that they came without shelves. At that point I decided to order the shelves separately.

It was a nightmare to assemble the tower and the shelves. I made several trips to the hardware store. It became a team effort with my family,...we were all out of patience

and exhausted by the end. I am usually very pleased with purchases through amazon, but this was not a good experience. The towers are not worth the time and money.

These racks are great for shoes and sweaters. I put two in my closet for shoes and they work great. Good airflow and compact size. I have read other reviews that talk about cheap quality. For the price. I quoted custom cabinets for $3000 to do the same thing, so I am quite happy. I don't plan on hanging from these and they work well to hold shoes and stuff.

A few items came defective from the manufacturer and I sent them back with no issues through Amazon Amazon is the way to go!

:USE Nuovo 20-Inch Shelf / Towel Rod, Polished Chrome

:USE Nuovo 20-Inch Shelf / Towel Rod, Polished ChromeI looked high and low for a towel shelf/rack that was smaller than 24" or 30" wide. I almost gave up before I found this one. Really good quality and nice looking design.

I just completed a renovation of my very small and only bathroom in a 1914 apartment. My eyes were way bigger than my bathroom because the first towel bar and shelving unit were way too big for the space. That's when I knew I needed a towel bar/shelf combo. Everything I found at Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware was way too big for the space. I needed something 22" or smaller. I originally found this at Home Depot but for $100 more than Amazon. So I snapped it up. And even with next-day shipping (I'm a Prime member), it was still $95 dollars cheaper and I didn't need to make the trek to the store. It looks fantastic in my bathroom. It provides the vintage look I was going for. Only complaint is that it doesn't come in any other colors. It only comes in polished chrome but hardly a complaint when it fits my bathroom perfectly.

We ordered the 20' inch chrome shelf. My husband went to a tremendous amount of trouble to mount this rack on a tile surface, since the directions were incorrect. In addition, some of the bolts were missing so I contacted :USE (the manufacturer) via email since they don't have a customer service number on their site. I sent two emails requesting the bolts, and they totally ignored me. Learn from my mistake and go to Moen or Kohler, a company that actually has a customer service department, just in case you have any issues with the item. It looks like my husband will have to remove the rack and return it to Amazon and start all over again!

This item arrived quickly from amazon. It is nice, but not as sturdy as I would have liked. It is a little rickety. Also, it has been an adventure installing it. I followed the directions on the box and their measurements were wrong. I am still working on it but have run out of drywall screws, so I will need to install it tomorrow.

Contemporary Black Finish 5-Tier Ladder Book Shelf

Contemporary Black Finish 5-Tier Ladder Book ShelfThis shelf is very modern looking, saves space, and keeps the room looking brighter and more open by eliminating the tradition boxy shape of a bookshelf. I'm enjoying it very much in my bedroom, but other buyers should take note that this bookshelf absolutely CANNOT hold heavy items on the bottom shelves. Because of the positioning of the screws on just one side of the bottom two (largest) shelves, heavy books will cause these shelves to rotate backwards to the point of breaking. I partially solved this problem by wedging 3 old textbooks underneath the bottom shelf, which now is holding about 60 pounds worth of my school books. The second shelf I could do nothing about, and is now holding a box of tissues and some magazines. The upper shelves are more stable (ironically, since they're the smaller ones), because of the more central positioning of the screws. So YES, it looks great! But be aware that this is not the most solid of bookshelves.

This shelf is not worth the price. The material is flimsy and lightweight. In my opinion, it would resale in your neighborhood garage sale for $19. I am very disappointed. I was charge over $30 for shipping and it took more than 30 days to arrive! I could have built my own shelf with that cheap material in the same time. The list price info says you save over $300. That has to got to be a misprint. Because its not worth that amount and I soon found out all sales are final, including rip offs!"

I must say that this picture does not do it justice. The depth of the bottom shelf is large enough to fit a small microwave. And the top shelf is not so narrow. The shelving space is very generous. This bookcase IS NOT intended to store hundreds of heavy books. It is not made out of oak or pine wood. However, if you're like me, and have a good 20 30 books with no place to put them, this bookcase is perfect. It does not take up a lot of space and is very appealing to the eye. A few books, a few decorative accents and you have a very nice looking bookcase for your home office.

This book shelf is very attractive but, unfortunately, the fourth shelf collapsed within an hour of putting books on it. The books that I placed on the shelf were both paperback and hardcover, only 1 row, nothing unusual. I would not recommend this shelf set for books or anything with equivalent weight.

I had been looking for leaning bookshelves for months, and most of them were priced somewhere around the $150.00 range. When I saw the Poundex shelves for a little over $40 with good reviews, I was intrigued. I'm generally a bit skeptical of "a good price", but decided to take a chance with these and purchased two of them. They arrived at my home quickly,together, and very well protected. Best, opening the box (all the tape used) was more difficult to do than it was to put them together. I did it on my own and in less than 1 hour (would not have taken so long if I hadn't been distracted by my favorite t.v. show). These are BEAUTIFUL, sturdy, and a fantastic purchase at a good price. I would buy these again they are good on their own..not just good for the price.

Ikea Expedit Bookcase Room Divider Cube Display

Ikea Expedit Bookcase Room Divider Cube DisplayThe other reviewer gave this product one star because it costs more than buying direct from an iKea store. However, try buying it online from iKea and see the outrageous shipping costs. Buying from an online merchant costs a lot less than having it shipped from ikea. Personally, I am very happy someone has figured out a way to save me money while making a little for their trouble,

The ikea exedit shelving units are my favorite. I love the cubed look and the dark wood. It Is extremely functional for my needs and it is the reason it was worth the extra money to have it shipped here. Even with that extra cost, I find it cheaper than some of the local alternatives that I do not like nearly as much.

Putting it together takes a bit of time, but the effort is worth it.

It's annoying that when people are upset with the price of something, they give the actual product a lower review...

That being said, I happen to live close to an Ikea store and bought this there yesterday. Obviously, it was significantly cheaper than the price listed here, but this package was EXTREMELY heavy. Both amazon and Ikea have to charge a hefty fee for shipping these because of how heavy and huge they are to ship.

When we got the unit home, it took my husband about 40 minutes to put it together. The instructions are easy and the only difficult part about putting it together is that it uses lots of dowels instead of screws, so you have to line up everything exactly and use a little upper body strength to muscle the pieces together.

This shelf looks fantastic in our living room. I am so pleased with the purchase. I considered some cheaper units at big box stores, but I'm so glad I went with this one. The others were so thin and flimsy looking and had visible screws along the top. The Expedit unit looks so nice as a piece of furniture, and is substantial and not flimsy at all. We bought the black-brown color and placed it horizontally. We also bought 4 of the collapsible baskets that fit perfectly in the cubbies for my kid's toys and clutter. You would never know they use that area of the living room as a play room. When we clean up at the end of the day, no more toy clutter and our living room looks beautiful again! I'm sure once the kids are older, we can continue to use the shelf to display books and knick knacks. And I love that you can use it horizontally or vertically, too.

This shelf is great, very versatile, and looks very nice. I would recommend it to anyone looking for this cubby-type of storage. Obviously, it will be much cheaper for you if you can buy it from an Ikea store. But if you can't, it's still a great buy and much cheaper than other similar storage sold from high-end stores.

We bought this shelving unit after looking at several similar products at Lowes, Target and Walmart. What this unit has that others do not is a thicker outside frame that give it a more modern feel. It also looks more solid and expensive than other similar units. We have one 8-cube shelf with a few books and storage baskets in our living room, two more in my office that hold my professional literature, and we're about to buy another to go under a mounted flat-screen t.v.non our bedroom. I highly recommend this unit for its clean lines, functionality in terms of storage and modern style. Fabulous!

Great bookcase, it just what we were looking for. The problem was that it didn't come with dowels or screws. Having to go out and find and buy the hardware for this made it not worth it but returning it didn't really seem like a good option either, with having to repack all the boards. Waiting for them to send the hardware kit meant dealing with a bookcase kit on the floor in the middle of the living room. It was a total pain.

Creative Connectors Invisible Mount Corner Wooden Shelving

Creative Connectors 6990350 Invisible Mount Corner Wooden Shelving, 12-Inch, WhiteI ordered the 22-Inch shelf. Unfortunately, the product description didn't explain what the 22 inch measurement was for. I incorrectly assumed it was a diagonal measurement of the shelf. It is, in fact, the measurement of each side of the shelf touching the wall. This shelf is huge. So, I will be returning it for the 16 inch. I wish the product description would have been more clear. Oh I also noticed there are about 6 small and uniform holes drilled on the surface of the shelf. I do not know what those holes are for and would rather they were not there.

This is an attractive shelf that was really easy to install. I liked the walnut finish and I put a heavy lamp on the shelf and it holds it without a problem. Overall, it's a great shelf that holds a lot of weight, is easy to install and looks nice. Highly recommended!

I bought two of these shelves, different sizes, to put in the corner of my small laundry room to store laundry supplies. The description said it would hold quite a bit of weight, which is what I wanted. When I got them it seemed unlikely that the two little strips of wood used to hold the shelf would do that. But it does. Like I said, so farso good. I have only had them a couple of weeks, but they seem very sturdy. I have two large (170oz) containers of liquid laundry detergent on the lower one (16") plus two smaller bottles of other laundry cleaners. I placed it at a height so I could use it to dispense the detergent. The upper one (12") I use for an iron. They look very nice in the corner and I have gotten compliments on them. The only thing I would recommend is to try and put the screws in a stud, if you can. I could not do that and would feel more confident if I wasn't relying on the screws in drywall (with anchors included). Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and look of these shelves.

I bought this shelf along with one size larger and a 22" size for my son's nursery. This shelf is large enough to fit a photo book, a piggy bank (average sized) and a small stuffed animal. The color is a deep chocolately brown (what I would describe as "Espresso"). The shelves were just as easy to install as the description claims which surprised me!. Use a level and preferably a second set of hands and you'll be all set! They really do look like they are floating in the corner of the room. My only complaint is that just installing them caused a few knicks and scratches. nothing all that noticeable and if I had installed them with someone else I may have been able to avoid causing them but nonetheless, they are not solid hardwood so be careful! Overall, very pleased!

It is a nice product at a good price. A note to the wise. Make sure your walls are square. If they are not square the shelf will not work as designed. I needed to make my own shelf supports. If your walls are square the shelf should work fine. I am still satisfied with the product.

Elegant Home Fashions 7817 Savannah Floor Cabinet Dark Espresso

Elegant Home Fashions 7817 Savannah Floor Cabinet Dark EspressoDelivered undamaged, fairly easy to install but directions were pictures only so it took a little longer than I thought it should...nice quality for the price...just what we needed for a small spot.

The description doesn't mention this, so I wanted to make it clear: the top of this cabinet has raised edges; the top isn't completely level. Where the wood extends diagonally past the sides of the cabinet, it also extends above the surface. This isn't a problem for me (and I really like mine), but you should be aware before purchasing.

Bush Furniture Stanford Audio Cabinet with 2 Adjustable Shelves, Glass Door, in Black and Cherry

Bush Furniture Stanford Audio Cabinet with 2 Adjustable Shelves, Glass Door, in Black and CherryQuality consistent with other Bush products, which is to say mediocre, but presentable. Only two small defects on arrival, both concealable during construction so didn't have to bother with 8 week lag to receive new pieces from manufacturer. Otherwise, if you handle with care, will come together pretty nicely. Supports all products just fine (although barely with HK amplifier). Still, much easier than spending 10X a much on solid cabinet for storage piece. Recommended if in a bind for a less pricey decent looking utility unit you can put together yourself in just a few hours.

Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: Espresso

Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: EspressoIt is cheaply made not as nice as the photo on Amazon, you definitely get what you paid for. My Island came with distorted parts with paint chips on the wood. Unless you are planning on putting it against a wall, I would not recommend to use as an Island since the back is horrible with screws & wood imperfections clearly visible. I actually had to cover the back with matching sheet metal to cover the imperfections of the wood and the screws. Keep in mind the dimension includes the length of the paper towel bar. Therefore, the actual work surface of the top is only 37 inches. I would not buy this Island again even at half the price what I paid for on Amazon. I never write reviews but I felt I had to share my unhappiness.

I thought this cart looked really nice, but when I got it and it took my brother hours to put it together it wasn't as nice as I thought it was. The stainlesss steel top had some dents in it and the top drawer need to be on gliders. The color is nice, but would not buy again.

Be warned this cart is the worst product I have bought to date. To begin with, color is a weird kinda solid plastic looking brown not actual Espresso wood grain color. Such poor construction I had to glue entire cart together with gorilla glue to add stability, and no parts fit correctly. One of the vital pieces was completely wrong and had to be modified to get it to work. I bought a small cart, from another company, also that is 10 times better in both construction, quality, and looks for about the same price. Apply your $200 to something nicer, because you will eventually give up and throw this away as it is just ugly and very cheap looking!!! I would have saved myself much time and heartache if I would have just set the money on fire!!!

It may just have been bad luck on our part, but this cart was a lemon. It arrived quickly from the vendor, but was scratched (possibly in transit).

I will say that the company made good on it immediately, so there is no complaint about the customer service -just that the product was not a good investment.

Sauder HomePlus Tilt-out Storage Cabinet, Dakota Oak 411309

Sauder HomePlus Tilt-out Storage Cabinet, Dakota Oak 411309I purchased two of these cabinets to sit side by side in my kitchen and I just love them! They were easy to put together and look great. I love that my trash and recycling cans are hidden plus I now have tons of extra storage.

It arrived with no blemishes, packed properly, and with all the parts it was supposed to have minus one nail (I'm not too worried, considering that it's supposed to have 46 and came with 45, and all you use the nails for is holding the cardboard back in place). It was a bit of a pain to put together, but they recommend two people and I did it alone, so I can't fault them for that. Just know that it *can* be done solo if you're prepared to put some serious time in.

I should also mention that they made it so the door can swing out either direction, depending on how you install it. You could even get two of these side by side and make it look like one big cabinet. The finished product goes great in my studio apartment just outside my impossibly tiny kitchen. It matches my table nicely, and is a perfect place to hide the trash and store my weightlifting supplements so that they no longer clutter my linen closet.

The only thing stopping it from getting a 5 star rating was the difficulty of getting the doors to go in straight, and the fact that even when I did, I noticed that the cabinet itself was ever so slightly lopsided, It's small enough that you won't notice it unless you're looking for it, but it means that the holes were drilled off center.

Would I buy another? Depends on my financial situation. It's very much an example of "you get what you pay for". It's not cheap junk furniture, but it's not super high quality either. If I had a $150-200 budget for a new cabinet, I'd buy this again, but if I could afford to spend more, probably not.

P'kolino Furniture Kube Drawer - White

P'kolino Furniture Kube Drawer - WhiteStrangely, this item is in the "toy" category. While this item seems to be a great design on paper, it leaves much to be desired in person. The rollers on the drawer are absolutely terrible and don't roll well on carpet or hard wood floor. If they were on hard wood, which ours is not, it would be surely scratching the floor. The drawer does not open with ease...very awkward way of opening actually. The materials are IKEA grade, the connector disc is a very weak connector, leaving the tower of cubes very unstable and potentially dangerous. Our item was missing a couple of hardware pieces and half of the holes that were already supposed to be there, were not there and we had to drill them in ourselves. Now that I have purchased a few for my nursery, I am sort of stuck with them. I had high hopes for these, but now I wish I had purchased a more expensive shelf such the Spot on Square Hiya Bookshelf, which is pricier, but way sturdier and much better quality.

Archetype Shelf- Walnut

Archetype Shelf- WalnutI ordered a couple of these to expand the Salamander Designs A3/W Archetype 3-Shelf Audio Stand (Walnut)

http://www.amazon.com/Salamander-Designs-A3-Archetype-3-Shelf/dp/B0006VPUM6/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262298075&sr=1-7

I was a little concerned as the Audio Stand was listed as (Walnut) and the single shelf was listed as (Walnut Veneer). As far as I can tell, the shelf is not veneer but is the same quality wood as the rest of the shelves in the stand. The wood grain varies from shelf to shelf but in my opinion, this adds to the beauty of the piece. The shelves fit with the Stand and with a little planning and patience were easy to add on.

Very sturdy. No scratches. Packaged well. Shipping was a little slow compared to the Stand which I ordered at the same time but it seems to be a third party vendor and maybe is not on the ball as much as Amazon was.

Stairstep Shelf Cabinet Organizer - (Clear) (18" x 8-1/8" x 3-1/2")

Stairstep Shelf Cabinet Organizer -I needed something to use in a glass case for knick knacks and this will work perfectly to be able to show everything off.

The shelf is fine, but the product label is put on with a tenacious glue. I purchased this shelf because it was clear; now it just looks like dollar store junk. Returning and will find a shelf locally.

Btw, the U.S. Acrylic shelf is made in Taiwan...
