Whitmor Supreme Stacking Shelf, Chrome
If you put any significant weight on it, you will see the metal start to bow immediately. When placed on the shelf, my computer will rock back and forth after a light touch. The computer is nowhere near the stated 200 lbs. load capacity, and even just pressing down with my hands made the sides of the shelf start to bow. While the flex in the metal will decrease noise due to vibration I'm going to find a stronger replacement and move this to a closet or something....I bought some of these to make shelving in a storage area and was pleasantly surprised by how easy these are to stack together with no tools. My stack was sturdy, the shelves are adjustable, and I had no problem with any sharp edges. I was concerned about ordering from Target, as I have read MANY reviews complaining about their items being damaged in shipment, but all of these units arrived safely, each in its own box. I would gladly purchase these again.

I think this product is an excellent value. It's plenty sturdy enough for the size (meaning it would be tough to put something on it too heavy since it's not very big). It's doing an excellent job for the situation I bought it for.Read Best Reviews of Whitmor Supreme Stacking Shelf, Chrome Here
I bought this shelf because I was looking for something to place potted plants on that wouldn't fit on regular plant stands (long rectangular pots and round 12-14"). Shelf construction is incredibly easy and only takes about five minutes. Like other reviewers, I found that the shelf dips a little in the center, but it isn't enough to be a problem, and it will definitely support the 200 pound limit it's designed for. The price for this product is just right and it's turning out to be a perfect solution to my plant stand problem.If you're looking for sturdy, stable, functional shelving, these are perfect. I needed to better organize craft supplies so purchased 1 small and 2 large units. They are easy to assemble and stack very securely with adjustable height options. SO glad I found these!Saturday, August 30, 2014
Seville Classics 4-Shelf Shelving System with Casters/Wheels
Buy Seville Classics 4-Shelf Shelving System with Casters/Wheels Now
Settled on this shelving after doing a lot of research. It is very sturdy, well made, and reasonably priced. Assembly takes a bit of patience when installing the shelves onto the support columns. Best to pre-measure/mark the shelf locations and put a small amount of tape around the wedges to hold them in place as the shelves are installed. The wedge locks for the shelved work out fine, no slippage noted. I'd definitely buy another set.Read Best Reviews of Seville Classics 4-Shelf Shelving System with Casters/Wheels Here
If you are looking for a shelving unit that is sturdy and will hold a lot of weight look no further. This has been the best product that we have found. We have bought previous shelving units from Walmart that do not even compare. Best of all you get the option for wheels or no wheels. Warning this product is heavy please make sure to bring into your home with 2 people. It is well worth the lifting.Want Seville Classics 4-Shelf Shelving System with Casters/Wheels Discount?
I love this shelving unit. It was easy to put together but it will take two people. We had the unit for a week and it is a nice size for our storage room. The unit is very easy to move.Friday, August 29, 2014

I bought one and liked it so bought another. I do like it a lot. I have these in the bathrooms so I figure that the reason for what I'm about to say is due to the humidity. The bottom shelf on both of these stands fell off after a few months. I got some epoxy glue and glued it back on and it's been fine since.Read Best Reviews of Cherry Finish Corner Shelf W/ 4 Graduated Shelves By Collections Etc Here

Prepac White Entryway Cubbie Shelf
Looks fine, works....what else to say? We found some baskets that fit perfect (and i mean perfect) from home depot but I can't find them online. They are called perfect home essentials, nylon medium storage bin. 10.5in w, 14.2 l, 8.5 h.

Finally got this hung in my newly painted kitchen and overall I am really impressed. I put it together myself and while I did have a couple issues, that may have been because I tend not to read ahead when looking at instructions. It is relatively heavy (was for me anyway) and seems sturdy. The only advice I have is to read ahead when putting together as some of the boards have to go a specific way and if you don't look ahead, you might end up doing it one way and having to undo. otherwise pretty simple. Oh, another thing does not come with screws to mount to the wall so you will need to have 3 2-3/4 inch screws for that.Read Best Reviews of Prepac White Entryway Cubbie Shelf Here
We wanted to put these shelves over bead board in the entryway of the house and put the Prepac Shoe Storage Cubby at the bottom. When the beadboard and two Prepac items were installed by my husband, the completed look was wonderful. Dressed up the entryway and gave us all a place for coats, shoes, and bookbags. I love the sense of order it gave to our family. We bought heavy duty hooks for the coats. The ones that came with the unit weren't big enough.Unlike other reviewers who write that the shelf is flimsy, I believe it's really solid and strong. I mounted it to the wall directly into the studs with 3 x 2.5" #10 wood screws. I can't imagine how the shelf will ever come down. I'm pleased. And the hardware I received was chrome/silver, not black.Friday, April 18, 2014
Spectrum Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair
Buy Spectrum Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair Now
These are working very well on the top shelf of two tiny closets to separate 4 stacks of garments. It seems possible that my lighter summer items, e.g., camisoles and t-shirts, might get stuck in the wire loops, but so far, no real trouble even with them. The height is just right for standard shelves in an old home; the sturdy metal grip slid on easily and holds securely, no sliding around at all. I had to angle the dividers a bit to get them in place, so would recommend installing when shelves are empty if space is tight.Read Best Reviews of Spectrum Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair Here
I bought these to tame my husband's unbelievably messy closet. Three months later, he has managed to maintain his newly organized wardrobe! These take seconds to install and are not bad-looking. It has definitely made a huge difference in his closet, so I recently bought some more to tackle the kid's room. Wish me luck!Want Spectrum Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair Discount?
I really needed these for a closet shelf so I could put some sweaters there. I looked through all dividers that were available on Amazon Prime and read all the reviews and checked dimensions. What I could not tell was how they secured UNDER the shelf, but reviews were pretty good so I decided to try these.The rod that goes under the shelf runs about halfway under the shelf and ends with a "t" to keep it from sliding around, so it's pretty stable. So glad my sweaters are organized now! I am impressed and pleased that they are working so well!

Atlantic Maxsteel 3020 432 CD/228 DVD/114 VHS/ 8-Tier Media Rack Black
It looks attractive, with a smooth flat balck finish, and seems very sturdy (especially with the provided wall strap for anchoring). If you use this rack strictly for DVDs, and sit them in horizontal rows, you will only be able to fit 6 tiers (leaving two extra) on the rack.
I already have more DVDs than this unit can occupy so i have this idea. The unit seems more than sturdy enough to hold more tiers, and because of my limited floor space, building this thing up vertically would be necessary. I purchasing another Atlantic 3020, and incorporating the parts into the existing stand to make it about 6 or 7 feet high and hold about 10 or 11 tiers. I'm very confident after seeing the construction and utilizing the wall strap that i can pull this off.
All in all i think this is a great unit and would recommend it to anyone who needs a space-effictent media rack.
At the time of my purchase, the black model was 30 dollars more than the chrome model. I don't quite understand that, but the thing is well worth it either color you choose.After collecting DVDs for years, my collection quickly rose to the quadruple digits. I've tried the wood shelves (good but often too short and too wide), the spinning shelves (holds a decent amount but takes up too much space) and the wireframe shelves (hold low amounts of discs but saves a lot of space). I figured I'd give this one a try due to the low space it uses (due to its height) and the amount of discs it holds.
A correction to the amazon description: According to the box, it only holds up to 450 DVDs (not the 564 they list)
The first thing that came to mind while assembling this disc was the quote above "You're only as strong as your weakest link".
You do get a number of metal pieces but the feet feel like a light plastic, as do all of the clips. The 'feet' screw into the bottom of each pole but don't screw in completely (this allows them to spin, but also not feel as strong as they should be).
The clips are 2 plastic pieces that 'click together' onto the pole, and then you slide the metal shelves onto it until it locks in place.
Unfortunately, while it is made out of metal, the pieces don't appear to be the sturdiest. The unit comes with 12 shelves and 3 of mine arrived damaged (one of them had the rear disc-holder (that keeps you from pushes cds/dvds off the back of the shelf) bent completely below the rest of the frame. The other 2 damaged pieces arrived with the holes (that you slide onto the metal poles) bent to the point that you can't even put those shelves onto the unit. If they arrived like this, it leaves me a little worried on just how well it will hold up over the years with many pounds of weight placed on them.
Fully put together, I like the size. It's about 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It does seem to lean forward when not filled, so I would highly suggest using the included wall-mount to prevent it from tumbling.
A few disappointments with the design: it has trouble holding non-standard sized cases. This means that while it will hold CD's and DVDs, cases like PSP UMD's will not fit due to the metal wireframe. Fortunately, Blu Ray and HDDVDs do fit.
Also, if you set the shelf size to fit a DVD case, it will just fit a standard sized case (if you try to use one in a cardboard slipcover, the bottom wiring of the shelf above will prevent it from fitting into certain areas (it will still fit on the sides of these areas, but not directly beneath them) this has caused me to re-arrange some of my movies (taking them out of order) to get them to fit.
Overall, while it isn't the quality I hoped for, if it stays as sturdy as it is (meaning: does not bend further than the way it was when it arrived, and does not collapse) I'll be happy with it.
UPDATE: Sept 2008
After moving the shelves to a new location (where they werent tied to a wall), they came crashing down hard. The shelf comes off balance easily (such as if you bump into it) so be careful not to leave it somewhere that it can cause damage (the combination of height, metal and weight of hundreds of movies falling will do some damage). I still recommend it for the fact that its the tallest DVD shelf with the smallest footprint that I've seen.. just take caution and have it secured.

I bought one of these about two years and loved it. When we ran out of space in it, we priced new ones and ended up buying one from a liquidator on eBay. When it arrived without some of the necessary parts, I called Atlantic to purchase replacement parts. They sent them all free of charge. The product and the customer service are great. I'm definitely buying more products from Atlantic.Read Best Reviews of Atlantic Maxsteel 3020 432 CD/228 DVD/114 VHS/ 8-Tier Media Rack Black Here
First of all, I am going to buy another one, so I don't think it is all that bad. But it is advertised as a rack for DVDs, and it wasn't designed well for that. They give you 5 shelves, but it requires an 8 inch space between shelves to hold the semi-standard single DVD (forget a boxed set, which is taller). The posts that hold the shelves are 29 inches long. Let's see...29 divided by 8 per shelf???? Even if you leave the top shelf at the very top of the posts, you end up with 3 tight shelves, 1 on the top that provides no support, and one shelf of 4 inches in height. No problem, you can just lay your remaining DVDs down, right? Nope, they figured that out in advance and made the damn thing a quarter of an in too narrow to allow three stacks. (That's okay, if you lay them down they just fall out the back anyway.(Still for the price it will hold a lot of DVDs, I'll just have to order another to hold the rest. A couple of tips: The shelves are supported by little plastic clips that the corner of the shelf slips over. If you snap both halves together, they will not slide up and down, even without a shelf on them. The trick is to snap the first half onto the post, and then slide it up or down until you feel/hear the little "click", which means it has found the groove in the post. Then it is easy to snap the other half on at the same height, because they interlock. It will still be fun forcing the shelf down on all four corners to the same height, but then, it's flexible enough not to be an issue. Second, the little wire supports that are meant to keep things from falling over are virtually worthless if you have the shelf fairly full. Save them for the ends of that top shelf that is hanging out in space, to keep the discs on that shelf from toppling off the side of the shelf.

Putting the shelves together was relatively easy. After I had put it together, I changed my mind on the vertical spacing I wanted between shelves. It was easy to change the heights of the shelves.These shelves are advertised for holding DVDs and CDs. I use it for holding DVDs and VHS tapes (yes I still have some).
I give this rack system five stars because of the ease of set up, ease of changing shelf heights, and the quantity of DVDs that it can hold, and the price. I am sure you can find better (sturdier) shelving, but at what cost?
I have not yet used the straps that come with the rack for anchoring the shelves to the wall. The foot pieces can be adjusted. I adjusted the front legs to be a bit taller than the back legs so that the rack naturally wants to tip back into the wall. If you are worried about a small child trying to climb up the shelves, you should use the wall straps.
If/when I fill this DVD rack and need more storage space, I will buy another one of this brand and size of rack.

Ameriwood Double Door Pantry, 30-Inch Wide
Now that the rant is over, on to the review:
The unit is made of a plywood like composite, much better than particle board. The hinge mounting locations are very sturdy, recessed deeply into the wood. The doors were easy to install & adjust by a single person... easier than my Ameriwood wardrobe, I'm sad to say. When I first attached them, there was a 1/2" gap between them, but with a little adjustment to the hinges, I got it down to 1/16"... perfect. The bottom shelf can hold 50 pounds, the permanent shelves can hold 35 pounds, and the 2 adjustable shelves can hold 30 pounds. The veneer is very nice, where it wasn't scratched & gouged from substandard packaging. Fortunately, all the really bad scratches & gouges were on the inside or very bottom. Assembly took me around 90 minutes from opening the package to tightening the last hinge screw.
All in all, if American made doesn't matter to you above all else, this is a fine unit that will serve you well for years to come.

It took a long time to put together, which would be fine if the end product was what was pictured. We couldn't get the doors to meet not matter how much adjusting we did with the hinges. It's a silly looking cabinet in our kitchen with a pretty noticeable gap running down the center. I like the size of the cabinet so it meets my storage needs, but if it wasn't so hard to return, I don't think I would've kept it.Read Best Reviews of Ameriwood Double Door Pantry, 30-Inch Wide Here

Extremely cool little shelves. The hexagonal shape is quite unique, and it's fun to cluster the group into different arrangements depending on the available space.I would have given 5 stars, but the largest piece was damaged. Nothing severe, but one of the joints was broken and required some wood glue. Otherwise, a nifty product.

Sonax Milan Component Stand
For the price paid, I assumed that this would be a quality piece of furniture. Not so. The fit where the particle board shelves join the side and rear supports is nowhere near acceptable. There may some nice way over-sized plastic hole liners for equipment wiring, but there is no space allocated behind the rear vertical panel. You must move the stand away from the wall to make room for cables which you must figure out how to secure. Everything does have a value though...in this case...maybe $39.00. Please, please, please heed this warning and don't waste your money. Both this company and Amazon should know better than to peddle this kind of junk.In an unusual move I purchased this stand without reading the reviews, and I must say this time I am glad I didn't read the reviews. Assembly was quick and easy, it took me all of 15 minutes to assembly out of the box. I find the stand extremely sturdy and well constructed.
The only thing I would agree with the other post is the price, although slightly more stylish, I believe it would be something Wal-Mart or Target would sell for roughly $100 less. Due to the price I only give it 4 stars

Z Garment Rack Commercial Grade
Buy Z Garment Rack Commercial Grade Now
Over the years, I have used the aluminum clothes racks and they proved to be AWFUL. I opted to buy a better rack and boy was I right. The Z Garment Rack will probably outlive me. It is strong, stable and just perfect for hanging wet and dry clothing. The "Z" shape is sort of odd, but having it on wheels makes up for that. I use the rack, roll it out of my way and go on about my business. No regrets here.Read Best Reviews of Z Garment Rack Commercial Grade Here
I wanted a nice long clothes rack for my laundry area in the basement. I didn't want anything flimsy so after reading a significant number of reviews, I settled on this rack.PROS:
o *VERY* heavy duty.
o Nice big casters; two that can be locked to prevent rolling.
o Can accommodate two hanging bars (optional lower bar below upper bar).
o Not very difficult to assemble (however see comments below).
CONS:
o No variable height adjustment (not an issue for me).
o Included tools did not properly fit included fasteners.
The company delivered it very promptly. It is a *very* sturdy rack, I will never tax it at all hanging pants and shirts on it. I'd be willing to bet you could load this up with whatever you wanted to throw at it, and you would run out of hanging space long before it would show any sign of stress. I could do chin ups on this thing. (Well, if I *could* do chin ups LOL ). It *is* large, especially with the 12" height extension tubes which make it 6 feet 9 inches high. I only added them because I got the optional second bar from which to hang things, and I wanted the extra height so the lower bar has more room above the floor. The Z shape is a bit different looking but I didn't buy it for aesthetics, I wanted function and durability. The assembly instructions are, as others mentioned, of practically no use... but if you have even a modicum of mechanical ability, just look at the picture on the Amazon web page and you can figure out how the two ends and the Z crossbar bolt together, and how wheels bolt on, and that's pretty much all you need to know. The supplied Allen wrench did not properly fit the Allen screws provided, and the wrench did not properly fit the nuts to bolt on the wheels, so I did have to resort to my own tools for assembly, which some would not have on hand and this would probably cause them inconvenience and annoyance. But overall, given that this thing is built like a tank and will definitely outlast me, I am *very* pleased with it. Matter of fact, I just ordered two for my sister for her birthday, which is a pretty good endorsement!!!We host a huge party annually, and the biggest problem we've had is dealing with the 75+ coats! Each year there was a different disaster--the laundry room rack ripped from the wall...the inexpensive racks we bought all collapsed one by one over the years. An elephant could swing from these new racks we purchased and I'm convinced they would never break! They're a bit bulky, but can be broken down fairly easily. Best purchase we've made in a long time, and they weren't much more expensive than the flimsy ones you get from stores that sell housewares.

Euro Floating Wall Shelf
You have to be very careful with it as the paint job for the black one is minimal and you can easily mark it up.
Installation is easy enough, but you have to really get the mounting screws at the correct position so the shelf does not sag.
