Winsome Wood Sasha Accent Table with Drawer Curved Legs

Winsome Wood Sasha Accent Table with Drawer, Curved Legs, White FinishI hemmed and hawed over whether to get this table. I was looking for a white, somewhat modern, table to go in the nursery that wasn't too expensive and would be big enough but not too big to sit next to our rocker. So I bought it, and I'm glad I did! It's the perfect size! It was easy to assemble and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the drawer stopper was a bit of challenge to get in after the table is completely assembled. I had to maneuver my hand to even fit back in the drawer to put the stopper in. I think this step should be earlier in the process somehow. Besides that, it is a beautiful, sturdy table with a quality finish. The surface area of the table top provides room for bookends, books, a small lamp or other knick knacks.

I looked a long time before deciding to purchase this night stand for our bedroom. I received free shipping on this item so I finally decided to take the plunge and order it as the style matched beautifully. When it arrived I was just really disappointed with the quality of wood top and shelf. It has very pronounced grain in the wood it is NOT smooth at all. The beveled edge is extremely rough. I tried to return it and the company said I would not only have to pay for the shipping to return (which I expect) but that I would now have to reimburse THEM for what they paid to get it to me even though it had been free shipping! So I then decided to put it together. After I spent 45 minutes I noticed that the drawer and another spot had been damaged and then someone had attempted to repair them and reship. I'm hoping the company can either give me some of my money back or send me a new drawer. Ugh.

Nice looking table. Easy to put together. I had no assembly problems like some others. Great price and fast shipping.

I was a little nervous about buying furniture online, but I was pleasantly surprised. These were just what I had been looking for and exactly as described. Sleek and stylish! I am very happy with this purchase.

Want Winsome Wood Sasha Accent Table with Drawer Curved Legs Discount?

I ordered two of these tables at the same time with the thought of using them as night stands. The first one arrived and I assembled it, it wasn't bad and looked like the picture.

So I threw away the box and opened the next one, which I noticed came in a slightly different box with green writing on the outside. Unfortunately this table had a slight brown hue to it as opposed to the black of the first one I received and the handle wasn't brushed aluminum like in the picture, it was antique effect brass colored.

I sent the brown table back for a refund, as they do not offer exchanges. Then I ordered another. Sure enough it came in brown again.

So now I am faced with dismantling the black one and sending it back to match with the brown, or just accepting the fact that they don't match each other or the description on Amazon and go buy matching handles from Lowes.

I know these tables are cheap, but they should at least match the product description. What happened here is a lack of quality control, customer service, and a complete waste of my time.

If you don't mind the tables being a very dark brown as opposed to black, and you are okay with brass handles that look nothing like the picture, it's still a nice table. But frankly, if they cannot get the product to match the description, it makes me very suspicious.

Oxford 64"w Double Open Bookcase With Cabinet

Oxford 64'w Double Open Bookcase With Cabinet, 72'Hx64'W, BLACKI bought this item for my home office. I have had it for several months. The shelf support pins are made of cheap plastic and break when you place books on the shelf. This has happened several times. I called the company and they sent me a whole new set of pins. I have tried to find some metal ones without any success. They are an odd size 5.95 mm or 15/64 inch. This makes the selfs useless for holding books.

Montego 3 Tier Bookcase - Espresso

Yu Shan 324-33 Montego 3-Tier Bookcase, EspressoWhen this did finally show up delivery may have been free but it certainly wasn't quick (2 weeks) it was in great condition with only a few minor imperfections in the wood. It set up easily (30 minutes at most) with the tool and felt solid enough given the amount of wood used to brace it. The end pieces were of particular concern to me as I have seen this style before where the X was unstable/rickety not so here so that was nice.

Color is what I wanted but I'm not overly picky. I ordered dark it's dark.

One minor gripe it's not level. I measured the end pieces and one foot is barely 1/16th" shorter. A folded up index card took care of it but still is worthy of noting.

Suncast MRB56G Resin Parts Bin, Gray

Suncast MRB56G Resin Parts Bin, GrayWe have been remodeling/organizing our garage for the last couple of months. The farm supply store we purchased the Suncast slat walls from doesn't always have the attachments that I want. I purchased them from Amazon--fast shipping and always a good product.

Very good bin for my flow wall nice color and slides well. My son uses this bin, along with other ones. We like this for larger Legos and some smaller bins for smaller parts. I currently have two of these and will order more!

Sanus Systems SF-A29B 4-Shelf Audio Video Stand - Black

Sanus Systems SF-A29B 4-Shelf Audio Video Stand - BlackI don't regularly post reviews on here, but since I barely found any reviews for this product online (and had to rely solely on the description and picture), I figured this review might help someone else. :)

After hunting through TONS of stands online (300-400 on some of the "mega" sites) and looking for one that would fit nicely in a corner...this one topped my "top 10" list. And I'm glad I stuck with it!

The picture on here doesn't do it justice...it's a beautiful looking stand. The tempered dark glass is elegant...and the steel frame is built extremely well. You can't even tell it's metallic from far away, because it has a nice piano black gloss finish. It looks very slick in my family room and was easy to wire everything up (and set up was a breeze).

Plus, Amazon has the best price I could find anywhere (approx $50 cheaper here)...and with Amazon Prime...it was here the next day on my doorstep.

It's a beautiful, simple, open design. Get this and you won't be disappointed! :)

Stand was delivered very quickly, however the box was beat up and heavily damaged and the package came without any of the glass shelves!! One call to customer service rectified the problem, a new stand was sent (the box was also beat up) but all the pieces was present and intact. The stand is sturdy and strong and very pleasing to the eye. A very good choice of AV stands

This audio cabinet is compact, but holds all that we needed. It was easy to assemble and sturdy. My only concern is that the top glass is set on top but not strapped in any way. On occasion it has been pushed awry from its placement.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase.

This product was exactly as advertised. I am generally not good at putting things together, but the illustrations were very clear and in a little more than an hour, I had a beautiful piece of furniture. The black steel and heavy tempered glass give it a sleek look that will fit any decor. One minor quibble: the top shelf is not attached, but is held in place by rubber stoppers. It is a heavy piece of glass and should not be a problem but be aware if you have little children or pets running around.

Want Sanus Systems SF-A29B 4-Shelf Audio Video Stand - Black Discount?

I recently received and assembled this audio/video stand. I selected it because of the steel construction and weight bearing capability. I was a little surprised at how heavy the package was. Inside the parts were well packed. The outside package had been damaged and torn, but the contents were well protected. I've had other wood/mdf stands in the past and their quality was often less than ideal. This stand is robust. It was simple to assemble. The back panel is a modestly opaque grill and does a decent job of hiding wiring and cables.

If there was any downside to this stand it would be that there is no adjustement in shelf height. But overall you'll be hard pressed to find a better built stand.

Rolodex Mesh Three-Tier Desk Shelf (22341)

Rolodex Mesh Three-Tier Desk ShelfI was looking for a tiered shelf that I could stack router/voip/modem onto for my mother-in-laws house. This is it! Sturdy mesh material allows for good airflow around the equipment, and open back for wires.

Very nice, multiple applications! Very well made, doesn't feel cheep or chinsy.

I will be purchasing another for myself for my equipment at home.

This is an excellent sorter. I have one at work and one at home. Looks nice, minimalist design, black mesh goes with just about anything. Can be used on a desk, or wall-mounted.

This is a very great product and I strongly recommend it. It's the best one I have bought from Amazon. It is as it said in the ad "three shelves" and I will like to add,"very strong construction material, nice shelf spacing and looks very nice on my desk. Only one draw-back, the base is a little smood and sometimes tends to slide away on-top my desk, from where I wanted it to stay but with added rubber pads to the base, its perfect.

We bough this holder for the price. However, my wife didn't like the way it was so "upright" and also that there was nothing preventing papers from sliding off the front if they were stacked too high or awkwardly. A little critical thinking... and problem solved. We turned the shelf over and it made a perfect tray that also tilted down at an angle for easy access. Overall it works great for what we wanted if for and it looks good on our desk, too.

Umbra Illuzine Metal Wall-Mount Magazine Rack

Umbra Illuzine Metal Wall-Mount Magazine RackVery nice! Displays magazines in an easily accessible and attractive fashion.

Fits perfectly on the wall over our crapper.

UPDATE 12/30/12 Looking GOOD! Still used daily, NO rust & as secure as the day we installed it! A++ Now if I could just find a good quality rust free curved shower curtain rod!

Pros: this will compliment any decor!!

Cons: hmmmm nothing that I can think of...........

I searched EVERY where for a wall magazine rack for our very humid bathroom that would not only eliminate the clutter from magazines being strewn about counters, baskets & YES, the floor! I wanted it to look good, be rust resistant & NOT dust collecter!

This is just the ticket! It's a heavy well made powdered silver colored metal, that doesn't even show at all when the magazines are on it. It appears as rust won't be aproblem. I will update this review IF I experience a problem later on down the road!

It holds 12 magazines, looks Unique, like the magazines are just floating off of the wall! Everyone likes it, you can even alter the theme/decor of the room by changing the magazines (covers) around & varying the sequence of their placement on the rack!

It was very simple to install, it takes only 4 screws & comes with wall anchors if needed! I only had to get a phillip's head screwdriver, tape measure & my son (ha ha) & it was up in 5 minutes!

I can't wait for these to go on sale so I can buy more for my other rooms & gifts to give for those "hard to buy for" people in my family & the bridal showers, housewarmings etc ....that I am always fumbling about TRYING to find something for!

This is such a cool looking item! I'll be sure to get some more for my college bound son, sure wish I had thought this up!

I originally thought it would be a brushed metal finish, but its not...silver paint/powder coat. Not a huge deal since most of the metal is covered by mags anyway. But all the rest of my bath fixtures are brushed metal.

The product that came wasn't anything different than advertised. It is what it claims to be. It was easy to hang and no problems using it as described. I just personally found it to look less impressive (a touch sloppy, too casual) once in my home and hung up. I put it above the toilet tank, with magazines filling it. I just dont know, it makes you want to be picky about which magazines you buy so when they're hung they don't look like an eye sore. Who wants to draw this much attention to a magazine cover? most of them aren't appealing to me. In other news I am letting my weight watchers and good housekeeping subscriptions lapse and picking up consumer reports, maybe those will look better hanging on this :)

Want Umbra Illuzine Metal Wall-Mount Magazine Rack Discount?

So my only complaint is a lack of instructions. I realize this sounds stupid, but I was looking for any info on/in the packaging for the size of the drywall screw anchors. I kept guessing and checking on how big they were. I think they are a bout 1/4". Not a big deal, but it could say somewhere what size of a hole you should be drilling. Whatever.

So it's a bit pricey, but a neat little rack. Up close you can see the metal divider between the two columns, but A) So what, it's not magic, we know they aren't really floating and B) if someone points it out they are probably the annoying type who tries to find the negative about anything.

So yeah, I only got this because my girlfriend bought me a subscription to Writer's Digest and so I figured it will be perfect and a nice display once it's filled out, and I can keep them around for reference later as well.

So if you have the spare cash or have a specific purpose, these are very cool.

Badger Basket Five Basket Storage Unit with Wicker Baskets

Badger Basket Five Basket Storage Unit with Wicker Baskets, EspressoSave your money. This piece of furniture looks and feels very cheap and flimsy. It was difficult to put together (many holes are not pre-drilled), and doesn't feel sturdy at all. It's also a lot smaller than we expected, even knowing the dimensions it *looks* smaller than it is. The baskets are not actual wicker, they're plastic made to look that way. This thing shouldn't cost more than fifty dollars maximum, it's the flimsiest piece of furniture I've ever bought. I guess the fact that it only weighs about 20 lbs should have clued me in!

Unfortunately like most massed produced furniture these days, this is very cheaply made. It is very flimsy and after awhile it start to chip. We've had this for less than a year and it is already falling apart. I would not recommend this as a storage unit for children as it does not sustain lots of constant usage. Maybe purchase if you wish to store things that you rarely use.

Buy Badger Basket Five Basket Storage Unit with Wicker Baskets Now

I purchased this to store all of my child's toys which normally sit in our family room. It does a great job at concealing the toys and not looking like a toy chest. However, you must bolt this to the wall. Several times my daughter has pulled out a basket and the whole thing has toppled over on her. For the price it is a great deal, but please attach it to the wall to prevent accidents. Living in earthquake county this is standard for us and probably a good practice to use with all furniture.

Product picture does not come close to what this storage unit really is. This is not real wood. This unit is horrible. For the money, I was clearly ripped off. PLUS....it came with a dent in the top of the unit. Of course I did not realize this until I had the entire thing put together and the top was the last part that I took out of the box. I am SOOOOO disappointed. I can't even fathom taking this apart to send itIt was such a pain to put together. The baskets are so cheap, fall apart as you touch them. There aren't words to describe how disappointing this is. I have never purchased a product like this in my life. I will never buy from this company again.

Want Badger Basket Five Basket Storage Unit with Wicker Baskets Discount?

This is a nice piece of furniture as long as you are not going to use it heavily. I thought this would be solid wood. No its not, its cheap plastic that looks like wood. The baskets are not wicker, but a look a like wicker platic. While it was easy to assemble, it was difficult figuring out A B C pieces when none were clearly marked. I would have rather spent my $120 on real wood that would last a life time. It will get me thru until I have the money to buy what I wanted in the first place.

Zenith Bathstyles Bathtub and Shower Pole Caddy with 4 Shelves, Chrome and Bamboo

Zenith Bathstyles Bathtub and Shower Pole Caddy with 4 Shelves, Chrome and BambooWas trying to find a good looking caddy that wasn't ridiculously priced (was 50% off when purchased)this one is definitely pretty but could be improved with sturdiness. The pole unit bends with the tension, creating movement when you take heavier bottles on and off. Also, WARNING: you will need a metal cutter if your ceiling is lower than 7'8" due to the pole installation design. The instructions have it as part of the installation requirements, stating "if there is too much tension, a tube may need to be cut." Not sure about you, but that's not a tool we had lying around our apartment.

When this item was delivered it one of the welds had broken. I inspected the unit and realized that it is put together very cheaply. Small tack welds. For such an expensive caddy you would think it would be quality. It's not!

Crowned Keepsake Shelf #33663

Crowned Keepsake Shelf #33663I was really pleasantly surprised when I received this shelf. I read all the reviews, understood the dimensions, and frankly didn't have high expectations. The shelf is sturdy and appropriate for displaying knick-knacks. Anyone who purchases this for more practical reasons and needs hardcore storage may be disappointed. So I again stress ths is a display piece for small, lightweight items. The 'distressing' is laughable--it's literally some flat, black marks placed symeterically on both sides. But I always intended to paint it. So with a 1.49 worth of hobby paint, I turned this into a more custom looking piece and the result was wonderful. I challenge anyone to find anything of similar quality at a brick and mortar store without paying 3X as much. One of the shelves is removable (but the screw holes would need to puttied) the other is not. And the top scrolled ornamentation is a completely separate piece, so it can be removed if desired.

Assembly and hanging this wall cabinet was quick and easy. I'm using its shelves to display a collection of mugs. I like the crown decoration on top. Otherwise the shelves are very plain so the crown adds style. My only complaint is a tiny one; in what was I think an effort to antique the shelves a bit, occasionally thin black stripes are painted on the sides. I may paint those out because I wanted all white for my kitchen, but it's not an issue for anyone but me. The mugs are very happy on display on the shelves in this cabinet.

I received this item right away in perfect condition. There was minimal work involved with putting it together, and it's a very pretty little piece. I hung it above my stove as a spice rack. It's the perfect size.

This is a nice piece for the price, but I thought it would be bigger. The shelves are not adjustable, but I ended up just taking out the top shelf so that I could put taller things on the middle shelf. It's a cute, shabby chic style.

Want Crowned Keepsake Shelf #33663 Discount?

More shabby than chic this was beyond disappointing. The removable shelf hardware is huge and ugly and very clearly seen when the shelf is hung. My husband is going to remove the hardware and nail the shelf in place. The paint scheme is also just awful so shabby that I'll be repainting it today!

TechCraft CRE60B 60-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Credenza - Black

TechCraft CRE60B 60-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Credenza - Black
  • 60-inch wide credenza
  • Fits most 60-inch and smaller flat-panel televisions
  • Ample storage space and wire management capability
  • Beautiful framed doors conceal components
  • 22.38" H x 59.88" W x 19.75" D
  • 22.38 x 59.88 x 19.75 Inches

In researching my purchase of an inexpensive TV console, the most common complaints I read of were of items damaged in transit and of materials that were incorrectly made in the factory (pre-drilled holes not lining up correctly, missing screws, etc).

I am happy to say that my Techcraft CRE48B console had neither of these problems. It was delivered in a box that was sturdy, with exterior corner protection, and everything inside it was very well packed and protected by Styrofoam and sheets of plastic.

The exterior pieces are quite heavy and have a beautiful glossy smooth black finish which is flawless. The interior pieces are made of a lighter but sturdy particle board painted a mat black. The glass is tempered and clear and was fit perfectly in the doors. The back cover is very sturdy compressed cardboard with large openings for all the cords to fit though, and attaches with screws, not nails. I should note there is a fifth leg which projects from the middle near the back of the unit which is not visible in the product image.

It took me about 2 hours to put it together by myself, working very carefully. There were no missing pieces (and no extra pieces). The instructions are mostly images only, but all the larger pieces are labeled with stickers and the smaller pieces are represented with 1:1 scale drawings. I had no difficulty understanding the directions. Assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver (smaller and larger heads). Everything fit together just right and when complete it feels very solid.

Overall I am very pleased with this item, I consider it to be a very good value. The only issue I have with it is that even after adjustment, one door is just a tiny bit off level, but that's a flaw I'm willing to accept in an item in this price range.

They do a great job mixing quality wood that's visible and low quality wood (to keep costs down) in all parts that aren't visible.

This stands looks really nice but it isn't very practical. The mesh center cabinet meant for your center speaker is far too small to fit the majority of center channel speakers. The side cabinets aren't wide enough to fit the larger receivers.

This is still a quality sturdy stand but make sure if you need it to hold your components that it will fit them properly.

Want TechCraft CRE60B 60-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Credenza - Black Discount?

I bought the Techcraft Cre48B AV stand to sit under my new wall-mounted Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV to hold my home theater equipment and I will say it looks absolutely great doing that. I did have the TV on the stand for a few days as I waited for my TV mounting bracket to arrive from Amazon and it seemed to hold the additional weight without any problem. Delivery was quick for such a big item, five days from ordering to delivery. I held my breath taking all of the pieces out of the box since I have heard nightmare stories about shipping casualties with furniture items. Once I removed the glass door panels and they were intact, I breathed a sigh of relief and started the task of assembling the stand. It is a little intimidating at first, like any furniture of this nature. But once you get a feel for it, it moves right along. The directions call for a Phillips head screwdriver and hammer, but I didn't find a need for the hammer at all. The stand uses a series of cam locks and posts to tighten the panels together. This is where I have to deduct a star from an otherwise good product. The posts screw into predrilled pilot holes. No problem until I reach one particular pilot hole which is drilled far to large to allow the post to be screwed in. You can't just move the post and screw it in elsewhere, because the corresponding cam requires it to be lined up perfectly. This particular cam/post was vitally important since it held the side panel in place. So essentially I was in a bind due to poor craftmanship. If it had been a store purchase, I would have returned it for a replacement. but being mail order and being a very heavy item to boot, I decided to improvise and glued the post in with epoxy and waited until the next day to complete the stand. The epoxy worked well and assembly went smoothly after that. Overall, not counting the misdrilled hole fiasco, it took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to complete. My one other complaint is that they could have included one or two extra cams since they are easy to strip, so be careful with them. Overall, I would buy the product again, but Techcraft may want to assess their quality control when issues like mine are happening.

Just received this stand and put it together this week. I've been on the lookout for a great stand at a great price for a few months now and finally settled on this one after exhaustive researching. The price dropped to $265 + Free shipping and I just couldn't pass that up!

First things first, this baby weights A LOT! I still can't believe they shipped it for free. I was a little intimidated after opening the box and seeing all the parts. But after taking a deep breath, laying everything out nicely and browsing the instructions briefly it wasn't bad at all and everything made sense. I almost had a heart attack when I thought one of the support feet were missing but a quick check back into the box with tons of wrapping and foam to keep the parts safe and I found it. I didn't time myself but I'm thinking maybe a good 60 to 90 minutes putting this one together is about right. I love the color and finish on this. While it is black it almost has a dark brown feel about the color which is perfect for my setup. While some have made mention of the center area which isn't big enough for a normal/standard center channel it wasn't a problem for me. Even though mine would easily fit as I have the Sony HTIS-100 I chose to set it on top anyways. The two storage areas on either side aren't huge but they have adjustable shelves and are the right size for standard components and with the windows you shouldn't have any problems with the remotes. I'm at a point now where I don't feel the need to display all my components and would rather focus on the TV itself and this stand is perfect for that. It also sits at just the right height to accentuate viewing of my 52" Sony XBR9 whereas my last stand sat rather low. This one is perfect.

Overall I'm very impressed with this item. Great quality construction, fairly easy to put together, great price and incredibly good looks you really can't go wrong. I also liked that with the doors you have the capability to mount them on either side for opening depending on your setup. A real nice touch for flexibility. Overall I'm VERY happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone with a 42 to 55" TV. Thanks!
