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

The holes did not line up so we inturn had to line them up and drill new holes. In the process the wood cracked. It was cheap wood and

the whole thing was at least 1/2" off making it rock when it stood up. It is too large to send back so we just glued it together. I will never order from this company again. Sorry it definitely was not what it was advertized as.

Although the storage cabinet is of good quality, it was difficult to assemble. The panels could not be aligned correctly. Two new holes had to be drilled into the side panels in order for the alignment to be accomplished. Remember this if you plan to purchase item.

Twenty years ago, I would have built the shelves I needed myself. These were the only shelves I could find to fill needs in a walk-in closet and in a kitchen alcove. My main two complaints are these: 1) two or three holes for wooden dowels in each unit were drilled too small causing the shelves to split when the dowels were driven home, and 2) even with the solid back and screws through to the shelves, the units are still rather wobbly. Nonethless, they have cleared up needed space in both locations.

Once assembled I really like the book shelf. It goes perfect in my new bedroom and hold a nice amount. I wouldn't want to store barbells on the shelves, but for the things I want to store blankets, DVDs and books it's fine.

But the assembly itself was rough. All of the parts came in great condition and the instructions seemed decent. Most of the assembly went fine, except for the back panel. It's supposed to slide into a groove cut into all 4 sides of the unit, but even with an extra set of hands it simply wouldn't stay locked into the groove. After hours of struggling to get it set, I assembled the shelving without the back panel, then sort of bent it into the grooves. I had to cut about 1/2" off the bottom of the panel to get it in, but when it was all said and done the unit looks great. I don't know if the instructions could be improved, or whether this is an inherent problem with the unit. You may want to stay away unless you're fairly proficient with flat-pack furniture assembly.

I was so excited to get this! We needed extra space for clothes. I couldn't wait to get it today and put it together. The baskets were nice, just like the picture shows, but the wood was terrible!! The 2 main pieces to it were broken! It wasn't even fixable. When I called to return it they asked me if I wanted a new one sent to me, and I decided to just get my money back and find one somewhere else. Besides the pieces being broke, the wood wasn't even close to feeling like it was very sturdy. Hope this helps!

Akro-Mils 30124 24-Inch by 4-Inch by 4-Inch Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin Box, Yellow, Case of 12

Item is as described: can sit on a shelf and hold parts. Can nest in other bins. Getting at the items in the nested bins is kind of a pain, of course -there's no way to stick your hand in the lower bins when they're stacked that way.

Note that Akro-Mils sells bins of many different dimensions. These are 24" but the 18" really nicely fit wire rack shelves that one might find for one's garage.

Ellsworth Space Saver with Door and Shelves

Tried assembling this on Friday night and found several defects in the boards. (Defects meaning holes that were not drilled that should have been, or holes that were the incorrect size to fit the indicated items (too small)).

I've emailed the company and asked for new parts, but have yet to hear back. I'm hoping I will hear back and they will make it right, because it looks like it will be a nice piece of furniture for us. Overall, not impressed that the product was not manufactured correctly. Seems like they could use some quality control.

UPDATE: The company mailed me replacement parts, which worked out ok. I do want to note that the instructions for assembly are sometimes not quite in the correct order, like it tells you to put on the board that goes behind the toilet, before saying 'oh hey, maybe you should put this together behind the toilet'. Same with the back panel it tells you to put it in after you can't put it in basically, you have to be smarter than the instructions to put this together.

It's a nice piece of furniture, but it took some issues to get it assembled, so I'm going to keep this review at 2 stars.

Overall, this is a nice cabinet. Exactly as pictured. That being said, I have a few grumblings about the overall construction and assembly of this cabinet.

1. I bought two of these cabinets. Once set was missing a metal lock screw, the other had just enough. Usually when you buy something like this, they have the sense to put extras of each in the bag, not so.

2. On BOTH sets, there were dowels that were TOO long--so long that they punctured through the material covering the particle board (different sections on each set). That sections of the cabinet it effected is not in open view, but I know it's there and it is a little irritating.

3. There were assembly line flaws that they "corrected" on one of the cabinet's bottom section in the front. Probably a hole that they did not mean to drill there, and covered it up with putty and probably colored it in with a marker. Again, probably not noticable if you don't point it out, but I know it is there and it would look horrible in bright light. Someone in their assembly line really needed to scrap that piece and start another one. Now I am stuck with it.

4. In addition to a dowel hole(s) being too long, the holes were too big on each set or the dowels were too small--you pick. Dowels should fit snug, these did not. It made for a frustrating solo assembly since they wouldn't stay put. Maybe a larger dowel would have worked, but I had to work with what I had.

5. The shelf within the cabinet is really nice, but the cabinet will not fit squirt bottles or anything taller than a bottle of shampoo in it. I had to lean my bathroom cleaners to the side and pile them in. I tried to assemble the other cabinet without the shelf, but the cabinet would not look right if I did that and lessen its capacity. Thankfully the shelf is only held in by dowels, so I suppose I could simply re-drill holes that were lower--but why should I have to do that? Maybe in production, they can drill different level holes so the customer can decide where they want the shelf.

6. The dry wall screws they provided to bolt it into your wall are cheap. Get your own. I have a box of them I bought from Ikea--surprisingly they work awesome. Speaking of Ikea, if they would have had a cabinet similar to that, I would have bought it there.

Finally, my review of this cabinet is it looks nice... as long as you don't get a section of the cabinet that shows a dowel hole that punctured through. My advice would be to drill your own little holes for a shelf within the cabinet if you plan on putting bathroom cleaners and squirt bottles in it like I planned to. Bottomline, you get what you paid for.. but for a cabinet that was $70, I expected a little higher assembly quality, adjustable shelves, the correct sized dowels, and enough supplies to get the job done.

Overall review:

Look: B+ to an A

Assembly: C

This spacesaver looks really nice in my bathroom. I like that the color is almost black. At first when I looked at all the pieces in the box I thought it would be way over my head to put it together. But voila! ... Before I knew it, it was all together! There was only one mistake in the printed instructions and I had to backtrack a couple of steps to get it together. But overall, the instructions were good and I'm really happy with the quality for the cost. It could have been taller (I have high ceilings), but I knew the measurements before I ordered it. I would recommend it to a friend.

The design is nice and it is sturdy. It was easy to put together., The only complaint is the shelves could be an inch or two higher. Can't put in most cleaning supplies, without putting them on their sides. shampoo bottles, or hair spray cans. Anything that may have a top or a spray does not fit..

Black Microwave Cart With Two Shelves & Wheels

This is the perfect piece of furniture for the kitchen. We are able to keep a coffee maker on the top shelf and a full size microwave on the second shelf. I had a hard time finding another cart that would fit both. The slide out basket and bottom shelf provide even more storage than we need. It's completely functional, and takes up less space than I thought, blends nicely into the kitchen. Only took about 30 min to put together, but I recommend using a drill to save time/energy.

Some of the parts were already chipped or scratched when they came in the box, but I didn't bother returning the item since they weren't too noticeable (and I was too lazy). Also, it was rather hard for me to assemble since the holes for the screws didn't match up evenly; plus the square parts that are supposed to connect the wheels to the bottom of the legs (the legs are hollow) didn't fit inside the legs all the way--I could only make them go in halfway, even with the aid of a hammer. Be careful when you tighten the screws and make sure you don't tighten them all the way; I did that for one of the legs and the paint around the screw hole chipped off completely! Overall, the quality isn't as good as I'd expected, and I'm not sure if it's worth the price. However, it does look nice, and the color goes well with my kitchen.

I have a small kitchen and needed something to hold my microwave, look nice, not take over the room, and fit under the window. This fits the bill. It was packed very carefully for shipping. I spent about 40 minutes putting it together. No curse words or tears were involved. (hint: Put the square piece on the floor and push (hard!) the leg down on to it. They pop in to place.) The top shelf is a perfect "work space". I like it.

The cart is flimsy and poorly made. The screw-holes don't match up so you cannot get the screws in--had to drill 3 of the holes ourselves. The side mesh breaks if you look at it hard--one piece arrived broken. The thing barely rolls, torquing the whole structure as you try, and the paint chips if you just screw a screw in tightly. The plastic fronts of the shelves are a poor color and look ugly.

I bought this and put in in my living room by my recliner. On top it holds my laptop and the second shelve holds my printer and the bottom I have a small safe for papers. You would not know that it was suppose to be for the kitchen. I did not put the plastic strips across the front and turned the top and middle boards around so that they match the bottom one.

Furthermore the paint was damaged already in the black area on the top. I had to fix it with a pen.

Foremost 327301 Modular Shelf Cube Storage System, White

It was easy to put together and it's a nice little shelf for under a desk, but the plywood has already split in the back of the shelf so I know it won't last long term, but for the price it fills the job I need it for at the moment. For DVDs, BluRays it works nicely, but the DVDs and BluRays don't fit standing up which was a bummer.

I purchased two of these along with 2 of another model. Together they fit my closet perfectly and I was able to organize my messy closet. They arrived quick and complete and are very solid.

This is very good product overall and it is well priced.

It is easy to assemble. The whole assembly took less than 10 minutes. It is quite sturdy, but beware that it is not designed to take a lot weight (my guess would be about 20 lb safely, 30 absolute maximum.) After the assembly, I drilled two circular holes on the back-board to bring in and out power chords and other wires. This unit now houses a power-surge protector, a cable-tv signal booster, a gigabit ethernet switch, an external hard disk, and a wireless router sitting atop. It was good to tidy up all that electronic junk that was sitting on my table.

This unit is stackable, and it comes with the hardware to do so if you desire. I did not take advantage of that feature (yet). I think two of these stacked on top could be good, three may be OK. If you want to stack-up four or more, you would be better off (both in price and in structural strength) by buying a tall and stronger unit instead of multiple cubes.

I happend to trip over this product while looking for a nightstand for my bed. This seems to be perfect because the top of my mattress is only 17 inches off the ground, and the honey color is the closest I can get to match my bed frame. I got two and they work just fine. It was easy to assemble.

However, do not feel that you can just karate chop this and expect it withstand breakage. It does say that it is light and has a hollow-core.

Seville Classics 5-Shelf Home-Style Storage System

This storage system is perfect for my kitchen window. I have a 'door size' window in my kitchen. This unit fits perfect, rolls out to clean floor under it. It holds my plants, and seedling starts. It has loads of usable space. The shelves are adjustable and it is strong. I expect it to last many years.

It was very easy to assemble and is attractive in my kitchen.

Am very pleased with these shelves. I was a little impatient putting them together and didn't read through all the instructions first so I had to redo the positioning of the shelf holders once or twice otherwise I feel these were well-packed, decent quality and easy to put together even for a 64 year old woman with arthritis in her hands. One dissapointment is that they tell you not to move the unit when the shelves are full and indeed the wheels don't want to roll under a load. Otherwise definitely recommended.

THIS IS A GREAT UNIT!

I bought it basically because I needed something with a small enough 'footprint' to fit in a very tight space, I needed it mobile, and I needed it strong. It manages all of that, and with style.

I use it to hold patient charts when the residents in our nursing home visit our doctors officeit's a small space, and I couldn't find a traditional 'chart rack' to fit, and hold enough charts. This shelf unit easily holds 12 or so charts on each shelf, and doesn't tip or get insteady... We are talking serious weight! It's fully mobile, even when loaded downthe doctors love that the unit can be rolled right next to their desk.

The only problem I have with this unitwhen putting it together, it's difficult to get the clamps (which the shelves rest on) completely even, and it can be tricky to get the shelves back off to readjust the clamps. On the plus side of that problem, the weight of the charts have ''settled'' the shelves pretty evenly.

Overall, a fantastic solution for a tight space at a very affordable price, and the mobility is a great asset.

The unit assembled easily and appears sturdy even when fully loaded. I had two of the super-cheap casters literally rip apart while moving the shelves for the first time with weight on them.

Suffering through Ikea on a Saturday with my wife this past week, I happened upon a set of 'Besta' wheels. A 2-pack was $10 so simple math yields that I upgraded all four wheels for $20. They are sturdy and attractive, and once you pop out the attachment screw that they ship with with a nail punch or similar, you can insert the properly sized threaded screw to mount to these shelves. I used a bit of Loctite as well. Shelves now wheel freely under full weight.

In case you've never had one of these before I figured I should describe in detail how the shelves get placed. The shelf legs are first screwed together (they are in pieces to allow for a shorter box). Then small plastic collars are placed on the legs. The collars have an extra rib on the inside that matches up with the small grooves visible on the legs. With this it allows for each shelf to be placed anywhere with a 1" resolution. The bottom shelf is a little tricky just because all 4 legs are loose, but after that assembly really is simple.

With that explanation out of the way, the assembly went well. Quality parts. Chose not to install the casters on the bottom but they were in the box and appeared to be of decent quality. Nice chrome finish, and the 5-shelf unit is nice and sturdy despite its height. I can imagine the shelves could easily take the 200lb load they are advertised to take in the description. I'd recommend this to others and will know where to buy more of these in the future if I need them.

ClosetMaid 898000 9-Cube Stackable Laminate Organizer, Alder

I didn't actually end up getting this color (got cherry instead), but this piece of functional furniture is fantastic! With all the accessories you can get for it (canvas bins, metal baskets, etc), it can be useful in just about any room in the house. Of course, the only drawback is the limited size of the cubes, but they are roomy enough for my needs. I use mine as a toy box/book shelf in 3 y/o's room. Very tall books don't fit, but can be stored on top.

I bought the 9 cube product in the espresso finish and liked it so much I got the 6 cube piece too (in espresso and white). Lots of storage with a small footprint, the espresso finish works well with the transitional style of my home, and the white is perfect for a closet in my bedroom.

Assembly: I usually am terrified of assembling these kind of things and leave it for my fiance to do, but wanted to have this done when he got home from work. All said I think it took me an hour to put together all three units. It wasn't difficult at all, all the pieces were there, and after putting together several of these now I have never had issue with the holes being drilled incorrectly.

Minor issues: The backs of the cubes are laminated cardboard with a lot of nails, and if you aren't very careful to get them in straight they will damage the finish (one nail out of 120 I used no joke, it is a LOT of nails) did go crooked and poked through the laminate Two boards out of the 30 I have pulled out of the boxes have had minor scratches, but nothing too unsightly. The plastic screw covers they include are kind of lame the screws don't sit deep enough for the caps to be flush.

Overall, this appears to be a nice organizational tool for the money!

Upon opening this box I was kind of worried considering how many pieces there were. The directions were straightforward and I had it put together fairly quickly by myself within a couple hours. My sons' closet has a slanted ceiling but it fit with room to spare. One nail went through the particle board but you just have to be careful when nailing on the backing. Once the bins are in it looks great, for the price I am happy with it, and now my boys have no excuse not to pick up their room! :)

Fortunately, the attractiveness of the fabric cubes hide at least some of the many serious flaws in this laminate organizer. If we hadn't needed to put the product into use promptly, I would have stopped assembling it, packed it up, and sent it back to Amazon--an inconvenience we just didn't have time to choose. We encountered flaws ranging from shedding veneer to particle-board splitting during typical (and careful) assembly. Ultimately, we resorted to using clear packing tape and glue simply to make the product serviceable.

Having purchased and assembled numerous "cheap furniture" products over the years, we rate this one the worst. Perhaps we were just unlucky and got a "bad apple." Even so, I strongly recommend purchasing from a local source (if available to you) to make return easier if you end up with one of similarly disappointing quality. If you buy, and wherever you buy, I wish you far better luck than we had.

I bought this for my Sunday School (3-7 year old) class room to put bins in to hold toys. It is particle board it is not made of real wood so the shelves will bend if you put too much on them. If your needs are met by this and not a more expensive solid wood alternative then by all means use it. It was in my budget and works for the cause. Don't over load the shelves or set a decortive plant on it so that water spills on it or the "wood" finish will bubble. I installed this myself with a basic screwdriver and hammer. I am handy with a few tools but usually the directions are what throws me a curve ball. These directions were pretty straigh forward. The plasic covers used to hide the screws are a pain. They don't always stay in place. I just skipped some of them so they weren't around for the kids to eat. It would be nice if you could put cardboard backs on all the the slots but that's not an option. Overall it serves the purpose and the churches floor must be level because it doesn't wobble.
