Curve TV Console
UPDATE: The piece of raw wood that is on the back and bottom of this piece is needed for stability, according to the manufacturer. Since it is a little noticeable from across the room, I tilted the piece on its back and stained the raw wood piece in the front. Problem solved. I constantly get compliments on this console.

60-Inch Black Glass Metal TV Stand
There are four black tempered glass sheets, two large (top and bottom) and two small the two middle shelves. 'Each' of the upright cylinders are made of metal, and once built is very solid.
Assembling the table is very simple, even if the instructions are small and very simple, it goes together quickly. About the hardest part in assembling the unit is removing the protective film from each piece.
On purchase it was said to be delivered in 7-10 days, it arrived in 3, thankfully. I wanted it before the TV arrived, and I just finished building it. More to come when the TV arrives.
Edit: Feb 12th, 2008 --
My TV has since arrived, the Pioneer KURO PDP-6010FD 60" 1080p Plasma HDTV, and it fits quite nicely on the table. The table is quite sturdy and doesn't seem overburdened by the TV which weighs in at about 140lbs.
I wanted to add a bit about the dimensions of the shelves, since that might influence buyers. There are three central shelves seen in the picture. The bottom two are the same dimensions at:
H: 5 3/4"
W: 25 3/8" (18 1/4" pole to pole, ie the space your component would have to fit in sliding in from the front)
D: 19 1/2" (12 3/4" pole to pole)
The top shelf has the same Width and Depth as the bottom two the height is:
H: 6 7/8"
There is an optional plate along the back from top to bottom behind the three shelves, for apparently hiding your cables; which prevents easy access to the backs of your components, but I did note that it is optional and doesn't provide any support so could be easily removed if you desired.
The two large speaker bookshelf compartments to either side of the three shelves are the same in size measuring:
H: 19 1/16"
W: 10 1/8" (the 2 inner shelves protrude into the space)
D: 19 1/2" (12 3/4" pole to pole)
Overall with the large screen atop it, black in color with the black stand, the table is an attractive compliment to the TV.I purchased this stand for my 70in flat screen TV, and this stand handles it effortlessly. There is ample room for components, including a Tivo DVR, Playstation 3, and XBox 360. Not much else to say, other than I am happy with this purchase.

My title pretty much says it all.I assembled this without any asstance and admit that there were a few moments when I struggled with the sheer weight of the semi-assembled stand. Once assembled and installed, the stand is very sleek, attractive, and, most importantly, very strong and study. I have a 60" plasma tv placed atop it and it bears the bulk sturdily. Highly recommended!!

First, as some others have stated, this unit is very heavy. The tempered glass is at least 1/4" thick. I put it together myself in about 2 hours. Assembly was a breeze.The only thing I would suggest is to make the Cable Track in the back should be 16" wide. If you have several components, it is hard to hide all the cords behind the 6" Track.

FURINNO 4-Tier Bookcase Storage Shelves Cabinet with Door/Round Handle
Be prepared to have tools handy. You need a Phillips screwdriver and also a hammer. You might be tempted to take the hammer to the whole thing but give it time, it will look somewhat decent. Some of the pieces were not marked and others were. Some pieces had pre-drilled holes, others did not. I already knew it would be small; I measured it before I ordered it but be prepared. In the pictures they really stretched it out to make it look big.
I placed this in my bathroom to place towels in it for when I get out of the bathtub. It matches my bathroom but is an eye sore. All the screws on the side of the unit, which are eight, are visible and look tacky. I lined everything up as well as I could building it but yet the top shelf will not close unless you hold it at an angle.
It will serve its purpose but be prepared. I have Ikea furniture that is made a lot better than this. This is cheap quality and poor quality control. Save yourself the headache and buy something else. I cannot recommend this product due to the poor quality.NOT ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS. I opened this box and the instructions weren't in English. I'm sorry but i only know a little but of French and Spanish but i don't know Chinese or Japanese (not sure which one it is). I was able to put it together ok for the most part using the pictures but what really upset me is that I received parts that were broken (the magnet parts that keep the doors in place). They were made with cheap plastic and could if been made better. I'm not handy so I'll either just glue or tape the magnets in because i need to keep my cats out of the shelve (one reason why i bought it) this is why I'm giving it 2 stars. Also the laminate started coming off when i was putting it together.

If you don't mind having to deal with chinese instructions, then these are not a bad buy. The instructions have visuals so it wasn't too hard to figure out. They go together nicely and don't take up much space.Read Best Reviews of FURINNO 4-Tier Bookcase Storage Shelves Cabinet with Door/Round Handle Here

Silver Stainless Steel Contact Paper
Bottom line make sure everything is clean and crumb and hair free I guess it would have been much better if I had a table but I did it on the floor.
And keep in mind that you won't be able to reposition this as easy as regular contact paper without creases. Regular contact paper is more stretchy and pliable than this. So give yourself more time to figure out how to get it right the first time.
Having done this once. I feel I could do it better a second time. It's different to work with than regular contact paper. It's less forgiving.
Also keep in mind when considering how much to order that this is directional. The "brushing" of the stainless steel look run the length of the paper. It's not super realistic looking, but it will fool you as much as a fake christmas tree woould and if you got really good at applying it with no debris under and no creases from repositioning, it could look really nice.

I purchased this contact paper to place on 1" aluminum tubing for flag poles. The silver does look good, but this contact paper DOES NOT hold up as well as expected.I have used many different types of contact paper for this use , but this product does not seem to stick as well as others I have used in the past. As a result, the contact paper comes loose from the tubing at the seams.
If I wasn't trying to get a metallic look, I would have chosen a different product.

The contact paper was fine, but not as advertised. Spec says it is 18" x 9' long, but when we got it, it was only 6' long. We didn't have time to return it, but we were not happy to discover that we were short changed.this product is really contact paper shelf liner, not the type of product used to cover appliances. Don't be fooled.Monday, April 14, 2014
Seville Classics 3-Tier Iron Rectangular Bookcase Shelf
Buy Seville Classics 3-Tier Iron Rectangular Bookcase Shelf Now
I purchased this shelf as "Like New" from Warehouse Deals, Inc. No damage to the shelf was listed. I incorrectly assumed that "Like New" might have meant that it had been out of the box, possibly even used or returned, but only having slight cosmetic damage at the most. I was wrong. The "Like New" item I received included a shelf that had a significant bend/wave in the center of it. This would have been a great product if it weren't for the flawed shelf, though I do think the price on the unit is a bit expensive. I saved a few bucks (though not many) by going with the "Like New" item. The difference I saved was certainly not worth it, considering the item arrived damaged and not in the condition described. I needed the shelf to hold materials for a kids' day camp that I was helping out with, so there wasn't time for me to return the shelf and order a replacement. If the price on this shelf was lower, I would likely purchase another one, as I do like the shelf. I would not buy again from Warehouse Deals, Inc., though.Read Best Reviews of Seville Classics 3-Tier Iron Rectangular Bookcase Shelf Here
I'm using this for a very narrow hallway closet that we use as a broom closet & overflow pantry. It's just the right size and it is quite sturdy.Want Seville Classics 3-Tier Iron Rectangular Bookcase Shelf Discount?
Overall we are happy. We bought this for a college dorm for books and a printer. It's a breeze to set up and neutral enough for any decor theme. Easy to move and transport. Did not give it a full rating because it came a little damaged; the side pins came bent and they did not fit snuggly after repair. How can you beat the price? Compared with other choices we looked at in stores and elsewhere, it's a great buy and we would recommend it again for sure.Friday, March 14, 2014

AVF PS933PB-C Wall Mounted Glass Shelving System for TV and AV Components - Black
Buy AVF PS933PB-C Wall Mounted Glass Shelving System for TV and AV Components - Black Now
I read every review for this product and similar products and found this to have the best review track record, but needless to say, I still had problems. The product arrived promptly with no damage. It was very easy to put together and mount to the wall. The depth of the shelves was adequate and the support frame was very sturdy. The wire channel was more then adequate for the cables I needed to run. Now the disappointing part! The glass shelves look awesome, but each shelve is glued to it's individual support frames. The glue gave way within minutes of mounting and setting my stereo and associated equipment on each glass shelf. I was nowhere near the weight limit of the shelves. After using a razor and alcohol to clean each of the gluing surfaces and purchasing "Gorilla Glue" and applying the glue to the cleaned surfaces, I was able to keep this from happening again. I shouldn't have to FIX products I purchase especially for the over price of this product. In any case, all is well and it looks great, after I glued the glass shelves back to the support brackets. It's a shame the manufacturer can't invest in a better adhesive for such an important part of the unit. I'm just glad I didn't have a heavy flat screen on the glass shelve when it decided to give way. Best advice; purchase Gorilla Glue, rubbing alcohol and a razor blade if you plan to purchase this product. Good Luck!I liked the design of the product in that I was abale to put an XBOX, PS3,Wii and a phone all on the top shelf, cable box and wireless router on the second and modem and tivo on the bottom shelf and it seems to hold them up ok (I actually wall mounted my flat panel above the rack so it all looks like one unit). My issue is that the shelves com with metal cylinders glued to the glass shelves which have screw holes in them and are used for attaching them to the supports. One of the cylinders on my top shelf came off. I left voice mails and emails with the company based in the US and got ZERO RESPONSE. So if your package shows up missing a screw I guess your on your own.Want AVF PS933PB-C Wall Mounted Glass Shelving System for TV and AV Components - Black Discount?
Installs easy, looks awesome, perfect to pair with wall mounted flat screen TVs. It's a tiny bit difficult to get the shelves to be level, but certainly not impossible.Sunday, November 3, 2013

I wish the cabinet was shorter to give more room for the display area. It's also a bit on the expensive side. But it is very solid.Easy to install. Great addition to the living room. The lights really brings out the displays, especially crystals. Very sturdy manufacturing.

Gladiator GarageWorks GAWA18BKRH 18-Inch Wire Basket
I considered building my own storage system but I would rather build furniture--soooooooo--now that I'm set up, it's time to build the Morris chair we've dreamed of owning.
I have one complaint regarding the packaging/shipping process. DAMAGE! I ordered and reordered a total of 26 Gladiator GarageWorks items from Amazon, kept 15 items, and returned 11 items after the reorders arrived damaged again. Two tries is all you get UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and Gladiator. The packaging should be more robust. The shippers could purchase a real soccer ball instead of using the packages they ship. Lastly, Amazon could take the lead and call a meeting with all involved to solve this problem. Everyone would make more money and your customers would be more satisfied...and everyone would make more money. Is anyone listening? I said EVERYONE would make more MONEY! Now there's an incentive! If you need help facilitating this meeting my services are at your disposal...for a price. :~)
P.S. I worked for one of the above mentioned shippers while in college and I know what I'm talking about. Soccer anyone?
Thank you...John K.I purchased this basket to attach to a wheelchair so my invalid wife could shop for groceries. I made it work better with her "transporter" (similar to a wheelchair.
It works just fine.

I happened upon Gladiator while looking for garage organization ideas. The more I looked at it, the more I thought it was probably a good bet. About seven years ago, I did a cheapie tool organization deal in the garage, and it really didn't help that much with getting things off the floor.These baskets happened to be just the right length to fit on a short wallspace in my garage between a window and corner. I wanted a place to put my motorcycle helmets and gloves. They were perfect. One basket will hold a half helmet and 3/4 helmet. A fullface will take up the while basket though, but you do have some room left for gloves or something like that. I liked the baskets so much, I have six of them now.
Love this Gladiator stuff. It just gives you so many options.

I ordered this to organize the approx. 30 bottles of nail polish that were just thrown in my bathroom drawer. I installed this quickly and easily underneath the bathroom sink -screwed into the side of cabinet. It is very sturdy and well made. This holder also held every bottle of polish we had -even wide Opi bottles. I was able to fit 10 bottles across, so all in all it held 40 bottles for us (your mileage may vary). Shipping was quick and well packaged. I would definitely recommend this rack!!!Read Best Reviews of Nail Polish Wall Rack Holds 36 Bottles Here
I bought two of these racks last year, one for my daughter and one for my granddaughter.

It won't hold anything larger.
