Buy Household Essentials Tapered Storage Bin with Handles, Natural Canvas Now
My first disappointment was that the "cardboard" structure was very flimsy; I thought the cardboard would be a heavier grade. My second disappointment was that several of the bins had dirt on them. I was able to remove it and reported it to Amazon without response.Read Best Reviews of Household Essentials Tapered Storage Bin with Handles, Natural Canvas Here
Cheap, cheap, cheap. These were more expensive then the ones at the name brand chain store but made 100x worse. I should have just gone to the store. These collapse when touched and came soiled. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I plan to return them and buy new ones. Also the dimensions are incorrect.Want Household Essentials Tapered Storage Bin with Handles, Natural Canvas Discount?
These canvas bins are wonderful for concealing all those bottles of lotions and rubbing alcohol and hair dryer, etc.Instead of reaching into a collection of items on a shelf to get one item, only to knock over something else, just keep them all in a canvas bin like this one! Just slide out the bin and pull out just what you need! Slide the bin back, and
only see the nice canvas bin. It blends so beautifully with my room. Very nice product.

Buy Organize It All Ebonize 5-Tier Square Shelf in Espresso Now
Although the box the shelves came is was damagedthe shelf itself is fine. It was easy to put together (did it in under 15 minutes), and the little feet can unscrew a little bit if your floor is uneven. The shelves are pretty narrow, but it's perfect for our tall bottles and smaller appliances in the kitchen.Read Best Reviews of Organize It All Ebonize 5-Tier Square Shelf in Espresso Here

This is great because it adjustable. You can't place anything tto tal on it because it falls over. I used a wire basket to put on it to hold shampoo etc.Also you should take it out once a week and pull it all the way out because water accumulates and it gets rusty.
All in all it works but I would never buy another one.

I also bought these units when they were roughly $20 each. The boards do bend rather freely. I do not use these for heavy item storage, but I could definitely see where they would warp easily over time if you did put heavy items in them, or if you had kids climbing on them.
All-in-all I am pleased with my Foremost modular furniture. It's cheaper than most of the other modular systems out there, and it served the purposes I needed them for.

So what is the best way to store record albums so that they can be easily accessed? These cubes solved my problem. They are sturdy and the ideal size. Don't be tempted to buy the double size to save $, for they are not as durable as the single. I calculated the number of cubes I would need for my collection and arranged them to fit the space I had set aside. The white cubes look nice and are much more reasonable that having shelves built.Want Foremost 327601 Modular Open Cube Storage System, White Discount?
These cubes were a perfect solution for my small home office, where everything has to do double duty. I was pleasantly surprised with the material, the hollow-core construction is lightweight yet strong. One cube holds my 70 LB printer and copy paper supplies. Another holds 62 inch refernce binders. I am ordering 3 more to complete my storage needs. Assembly was easy and directions quite clear. I did supplement the assembly with a good wood glue, which is just my practice for self-assembly products. However the wood screws provided are strong and long, assembly also included wood dowels. The honey color is a great match for my hardwood flooring. The cubes solve a lot of storage issues without taking up a lot of visual space.Dark Brown Shelves by Ashley Furniture

Whitmor 6060-3437 Supreme 3-Tier Shelving, Chrome
I also have the smaller one (Whitmor 6056-344-N Supreme Cart, Chrome) for my laundry room holding all my detergents, my iron, and my sprays. I've had it for years no problems, very happy with it. It does not have any rust, even with the humidity in the laundry room.
Initially, I had purchased a similar shelf from Walmart. I had to take it back. But, this one is high quality. These Whitmor shelves have been excellent in meeting my storage needs. I have recommended them to friends who visit and compliment me on them. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

I love these shelves! I am terrible at putting anything together but I trusted some of the other reviewers and purchased this product. This shelf was so easy to put together. I was able to put it together by myself in less than five minutes. I think it would be easier with two people to maneuver the shelves into place, but I was able to do it alone. These shelves are sturdy and deep enough to hold a laundry basket. I loved it so much I bought two more. This has doubled this storage space in my closet.Read Best Reviews of Whitmor 6060-3437 Supreme 3-Tier Shelving, Chrome Here

Bought this looking for an affordable storage option for our alcohol collection. It is hard to find affordable shelving sturdy enough for this. With this shelf we found:Pro's:
-Easy to put together! I am a small uncoordinated female who rarely assembles things and was able to set it up quickly all by myself before boyfriend got home.
-Very easily holds a large amount of weight, and glass bottles full of liquid are heavy!
-Doesn't shake or wobble: when you are putting glass things on a shelf you don't want to have to worry that it's shaky and things will fall off and break.
-Once you set the desired height for the shelves, they don't slide down: when I opened the box and saw that little plastic things were all that would hold the shelves up I was very dubious but once I snapped them on they didn't budge, even if I leaned all my weight on them!
-Very good price for the quality. Shelving made specifically for wine or liquor costs hundreds and even more to ship, and the lower priced ones are more than this shelf and don't hold nearly as much. If you don't mind how it looks, this is really the best affordable option. And can't beat Prime shipping!
Cons:
-This isn't enough of a problem to knock any stars off for, but if you are going to set anything smaller on this shelf(narrower bottles etc) you will want to buy a stiff liner to lay on top of it. That way you don't have to worry about things wobbling and falling if you set them down and they're not balanced on two of the bars.
Conclusion: The description is accurate and next time I need a shelf for anything heavy I will turn to Whitmor shelving units!
Two Level Bookcase with Metal Legs in Black Finish
The product is as described reasonable quality, easy to assemble, affordable and looks good.
The problems I experienced was with the company's response rate. While I received the item in a reasonable time, two major issues came up. The company failed to note that the product would arrive in two shipments and no packing slip was provided with the first shipment (therefore creating confusion after the first shipment arrived and made it necessary to follow up). Second issue was that a part was missing from the package. I contacted the company but they did not respond right away. When they did get back to me, it took three months to send the missing part very unreasonable delay.

Its rare that I'll type a product review on Amazon, but I felt compelled to help potential future purchasers who are on the fence. If you order this bookcase from the featured merchant, don't expect to get it right way. From order to front door took more than 2 weeks. However, as far as the bookcase is concerned, I am very happy. It was easy to put together (I did it myself in about 2 hours) and the instructions are very clear. Unlike other customer reviews that claimed it was missing materials or came in two shipments, I had no issues what-so-ever. I was very impressed that it was packed with care. However, a couple of pieces of the wood were nicked (but nothing a black marker couldn't resolve). As far as how it looks now that it is complete my headline says it all. It is a solid, nice looking piece of furniture and will work with any modern decor. One more thing that I was surprised that no other customer review noted it has silver accents in the black paint finish. You can not tell this by looking at the picture. For me, it looks great with my decor (actually I prefer it this way!), but for those who want a strictly black finish, be forewarned. Overall, I do recommend this bookcase!Read Best Reviews of Two Level Bookcase with Metal Legs in Black Finish Here

The product is just as described, and looks great. I actually did not mount the feet; although they look great, I found the unit to be sturdier without the feet and have piece of mind that it won't topple over if a little crawler were to pull on it... (tip: I also put a piece of anti-slip cabinet/drawer liner under the unit... I'm a safety maniac). I had one piece that was damaged. Since the pieces are all well labeled with their part number, it was easy for me to let the company know which piece it was. I received a replacement piece promptly.

This storage unit is very handy. The only problem is how hard it is to put together. I consider myself pretty handy and don't have a problem assembling things, usually. It took me over 4 hours to assemble this thing! After wrestling with the gazillion clips that hold the shelves together and suffering scraped knuckles, I had to resort to using plyers to finish the job. Ridiculous! Even though the product is useful, I would not recommend it because it isn't worth the headache you get from putting it together.

This is basically a good product. You will need to use zip-ties to reinforce the joints and shelves. A second set of hands would be helpful in assembly.Want Scrapbook Paper Storage Cube System Discount?
I purchased this product to store my paper for card-making. At first it appeared to be boxed with no instructions on assembly. My son in-law came to my home and I asked him if he could assemble it for me as I couldn't even figure out how to get the wheels on. It really didn't take him long to assemble (an engineer by trade)but alas, three quarters of the way thru the process, there laid the asssembly instructions held by static to one of the shelves. So much for making this an easy task!!!One more thing--handle this very carefully as it is not very sturdy!!! The box that this came in stated that the storage unit can be added onto. Don't even think about it. It would definitely topple over. BEWARE......

Seville Classics Shelving System with Wheels/Ledges
I had read the reviews and am happy to say this is better than I expected.
First I would suggest reading the others reviews regarding assembly as some
of the shortcuts are very good.
Let me add that the Back Guards shown in the picture are not part of the
shelfs but are snap-ons. I mention this as it almost stopped me from
buying this unit as I need a flat shelf for some over hang issues with
tools (saws and such) that I needed to store. Also, their snap on feature
proved to be very handy as I used two on a top shelf as a bin for
smaller motorcycle parts. It appears that you could use them to divide
a shelf if you wanted, very flexible design.
Assembly was straight forward, I followed another reviewers advice and
did the bottom shelf and wheels first and this enabled me to easily "fit"
certain shelfs to larger items as I went along.
Just ordered another...
Best,
Joe1. First order unit arrived complete great product !
2. Placed second order for same product arrived incomplete w/o wheels nor retaining ledges, part no. on the box was correct.
Called Amazon...they sent me replacement overnight !
3. replacement arrived....incomplete w/o wheels nor retaining ledges, part no. on the box was correct.
Had to repack both boxes and sent to Amazon (at their cost) but packing/handling two 75lb boxes aint't fun not to mention time wasted
dealing with reps, cost of packing supply (have to pack it waell so 75lb package will not fall apart on way back) and time related
4. Was told that Amazon will investigate and remove from sale list, which never did.
5. Ordering next one from Walmart where I can pick in the store and check befor paying....suggest you do the same

If you're looking for good-looking, high quality, sturdy shelving at a very reasonable price to organize a storage space or garage, look no further.

I just ordered 2 of these and now my garage looks great. My husband put the shelves together by himself with no issues. The shelves are very strong and stable. Overall great product.Grip It Shelf and Drawer Liner Black
This product is also great to line shelves that hold glassware but beware: the glasses will stick to it so if you need to shift them they might tip over if you push too hard.
We also use this to pad our nonstick pans because we don't have room for a pot rack so we have to stack the pans. This product keeps the bottom of a pan rubbing on the cooking surface of the one below.
If you are transporting food like a box of cupcakes or maybe a hotdish you can just put a square of this on the car seat and put the box or dish of food on top and it won't slide around. You can also use it in a similar fashion if you are shipping fragile items and need to cushion them.
Anyway I'm sure you can find a million other uses for this stuff. You can buy it here online or for the exact same price you can find it at Target, Wal-Mart, Meijer, or any other value-type department store.Watch out if you have classy maple drawers and shelving for your kitchen. It was great! when I bought it a couple of years ago... Adheres, keeps things stable. But I've just discovered in cleaning a shelf, it sticks big time making a total mess. When you remove, the wood's covered with the shelving texture and it's like glue. I'm heartsick. I don't know what will work to get it off. Usual methods eh-eh.

I bought this product so that my bass amp head would not slide around while it sits on top of the tolex bass speaker cabinet. It works like a charm. I sit the Shelf and Drawer liner on top of the speaker cabinet (cut to size), then sit the amp head on top of it. No more sliding around, and no glue or velcro had to be applied.My only complaint was with the amount charged for shipping. The product itself was only $2.99 (and very light-weight); yet the cost for shipping was more than twice the amount of the product itself. I didn't mind too much because I had a small balance on an Amazon gift card that took care of it, but I felt like the fee for shipping was much more than they needed to charge. That being said, the product itself is great!
ElleHome Michigan Floating Wall Shelf, 36 L X 12 W X 2 H Inch, White
Extra Tall Double Wide Media Storage Tower in Black Finish
When I assembled my unit, I deviated a bit at a couple of places in the instructions to assure that the unit would be sturdily put together and stable, once fully loaded with CDs. Here is what I did:
1) When I glued the three front molding strips onto the front of the unit, the instructions advise you to use only small drops of the "school glue" provided, on the wood dowel pegs. That raised a red flag for me and told me that use of that particular glue would be inadequate, too sparse, and not provide a strong bond with the three vertical shelf support units, thus most probably causing the unit to eventually come apart under load stress. Instead, if you have access to a set of furniture/cabinet glue clamps, use those, plus a good strong bonding glue, such as "Gorilla" glue to bond and clamp the three molding strips to the three vertical shelf support units, following the instructions for the glue you use. Apply glue not only on the wood dowel pegs; apply glue also on the front face of the vertical shelf supports as well. Thus, you can be assured of a sturdy bond and improbability of the unit coming apart.
2) The rack comes with what the manufacturer calls an "Anti-toppling" device, intended for installation on the unit if the user lives in an earthquake zone. This consists of two woven nylon ribbon straps and screw hardware to fasten to the unit and against the wall where the unit will be located. I strongly advise installation of this particular hardware, even if you don't live in an earthquake zone it will assure that the unit will not topple in any other situations, especially where small children are involved. If you install this hardware, make sure that it is installed on the unit EXACTLY where 2 x 4 wall studs behind a sheet rock wall are located. In my case, instead of using the hardware provided, I drilled small holes at appropriate locations on the back of the top at the exact locations where the unit would be positioned at 2 x 4 wall studs and used medium-sized screw eyelets at those positions on the unit as well as on the wall. I then installed a couple of heavy-duty nylon securing straps (both the eyelets and nylon straps can be had at a hardware store) through the installed wall/rack eyelets to hold the unit safely in place.
For the practicality of the unit, I would give it five stars, but in the case of the assembly of the unit where I deviated in the locations I describe, I reduce it to four stars.
