Master Craft Handbag Hangup Double-Sided Purse Organizer

Master Craft Handbag Hangup Double-Sided Purse Organizer, TapiocaI have limited closet room, so this Handbag Hangup looked like the ideal accessory to maximize space. I was disappointed for two reasons. First, the loops are not wide enough to handle larger width shoulder straps. If your handbag has a strap wider than 3/4" it will be a tight stretch to get the velcro sides to meet. Second, the loops are placed so closely on top of each other that if your purse is long and deep, it will flop over the one below it and make for a really bulky mess once you completely fill it up with items. I wound up using my Hangup exclusively for all the baseball caps in our family, which actually turned out pretty handy. It fit in the side of the coat closet and took up less space than a hat rack would have needed. I really still need a good spot for the pocketbooks, but for now, this item will be utilized for lighter and smaller things. One last note. The hanger part only faces one way and does not pivot, which means you always have to hang it sideways in the closet. It would be more user-friendly if it had a swivel hanger hook so that you can just turn the strip around in your closet and remove the purse you are choosing. The go-with-everything neutral color is a wheat shade called "Tapioca." Durable, sturdy and well made.

Great for the closet and quite handy, once I started I kept looking for more things to hang on it. I wish I had two since I kept finding more things that would be just perfect.

For those who have a lot of clutter and need their smaller items organized this is wonderful item. I have a small collection of baseball caps which are hard for me to store (and find in my room) and I found I could put up to 4 caps on a single Velcro -but kept it at two because otherwise they got a bit smashed. I also tried storing purses on it but found mixed results. Only smaller purses with a short strap really worked well. Anything bigger was too clunky and made it hang a bit unbalanced. I liked that the Velcro straps are surprisingly strong. However, they are placed approximately 3 inches apart so really are meant for smaller items. Light scarves also worked great as well as belts and even some of my larger necklaces. Another useful place might be the garage. It could be used to hold cables, wires and it since it is made of cloth it seems easy to clean. It also could be used on the back side of the door. But since you would need one side to lay flat you could only utilize one side or half of the storage space, so I think it is still better used in the closet. Another idea is to lay out your entire outfit for the next day on it using hangers for your: shirt, dress, pants, and/or skirt. And adding your: jewelry, hat, belt, scarves or stocking so it is ready to go and won't get wrinkled.

This is a wonderful time saver and space organizer for small items and accessories that constantly get lost. The only downsides are that it can easily get unbalanced with bigger items and the spacing design between Velcro strips makes it best for smaller things.

I love this product because it works extremely well for me. I am not lucky enough to have a walk-in closet, so I have to make the most of every square inch of space in my reach in closet. I have had many "organizers" through the years, but none has worked as well as this one. It has seven velcro tabs on each side, so it will hold 14 bags. It measures about 40 1/2" long; add another 3 1/2" for the hook that hangs on the closet rod. My largest bags are about 14" wide by about 10" or 11" high; some smaller but not too small. I have two of these, right now holding 26 bags, so I have room for a couple of more should I see something I just can't live without! The purses on the bottom do hit the floor, but they are organized according to color, so I can find the one I want right away. Don't forget about the width when figuring how much space to allow -it depends on the thickness of your bags. I am really happy with my purchase.

I ordered this for my wife as she has a plethora of purses and I thought it might be useful. And how! It is money well spent. I am impressed by how sturdy this thing is. We loaded it down with as many purses as humanly possible and it held on fine. It's been a few months since I got it, and she has no trouble with it.

I don't know what else to say about it. Great product!

I am surprised. I have had this hanging in my closet for 3 days and so far it is still in place. I have 13 bags on it, most of my bags are semi-heavy because I like bigger bags. They are hanging down to the floor but I was able to move the basket out of the way that it was in. Not really saving me much space,(due to the bulkiness of my bags) Some of the bags have wide straps so you have to figure out how to hang those. Other than that I have no problems, I believe it will be excellent for baseball caps, scarves, belt's etc. I love it!

Suncast Shed Accessory Kit With Corner Shelf, Loft, Bracket with Hooks

Suncast Shed Accessory Kit With Corner Shelf, Loft, Bracket with HooksIts two corner shelves, a loft shelf, and three hooks... just what it says. Makes it really nice to store outdoor cushions in the loft shelf (what else you would use it for is beyond me because not much else would fit other then four cushions, I dont know how they fit a cooler in the picure it must be minisucle because mine wouldnt fit). The plastic L corner shelves are nice but plastic and not really sturdy. They hold my three year olds toys nice but anything beyond a couple of gallons of bubbles and some outdoor nonsense would have a problem, I see twenty pounds at most on these shelves. The bracket and hooks are really nice and heavy duty, too bad the wall of the shed cant support the weight these hooks are rated at. I was originally going to use the bracket with two of the hooks to hand a bike against the wall, forget it. The wall would warp terribly in under a month if it was even able to support it at all. The hooks would hold maybe an extension cord, a shovel, or broom really nice but not much else.

Its a couple of plastic shelves, a wire loft shelf, and three hooks. If I paid fifty bucks Id say its great but for a hundred bucks its kinda ridiculous and obvious that they get away charging it because its your only resource for shelving if you get a suncast shed.

Its the same price everywhere, I bought it at Amazon because the shipping was free and they ship it pretty quick. So if you are gonna invest a hundred bucks on plastic and wire this is the best place to do it. I have no complaints with Amazon as everyone is asking the same price for this stuff, I really just think for what it is it really should be a cheaper.

Love this shed. It is the perfect size. We have it on our deck next to the house. We got the loft for chair cushions and the chairs slide in real nice. I have buckets and misc. stuff in there. Have plenty of room. Easy installation if you read instructions.

Its a great product, but read the manufactures' site about what works for your shed and doesn't.

When I ordered this 'package' it said it couldn't be used for three sheds, but when I went back to the manufactures' site, those 3 and MINE (for the loft storage)! I am going to use the loft storage elsewhere as I haven't been able to figure out how to ask the order to be split into three items so I could return the one.

Atlantic 88335752 Midtown TV Stand

Atlantic 88335752 Midtown TV StandIt's easy to put together and looks nice.

The side panels were almost too big to fit. I put them on backwards to have a solid color though. The inside is supposed to be black, but I flipped it so it's the same black/brown color all around and I didn't put on the back panel. Came with everything you need to put it together except it doesn't have holes for the media holders so you need a drill. I just didn't put them on because I don't need them.

I must say I am a little displeased with this purchase..It's fairly simple in structure; thus making it not nearly as pleasing to the eye as it looked on the web...

Ladder Shelf Storage Black 5-tier Ladder Shelf

Ladder Shelf Storage Black 5-tier Ladder ShelfI ordered this Ladder Shelf storage unit from Amazon at an amazing price on sale. It is a nice accent against a wall and provides something different to look at other than a normal wood shelf storage unit mass produced from MBF in China. This shelf is actually wood which provides a nice finish. While I love the shelf's design (ladder shape) I am not totally sold on how sturdy it is. It is easily assembled, but does have slight sway when fully assembled. Storage space on the shelf is limited by the size of shelves (they get smaller as you near the top of unit.) The bottom shelves are fairly strong, the top are not due to sway, etc. I still give this 5 stars as it is quite a nice looking unit, and I understand the nature of the chinese manufacturing process and place pieces such as this where they will not be moved, bumped, climbed on, etc.

Obviously it is incredibly inexpensive, but it is NOT worth it. My piece came with chips in it and missing pieces. Put together it was completey unsturdy. Even with the price... do NOT buy/

For the price, its not bad. But once we got it and assembled it, it wasn't what I was hoping. Kinda flimsy and feels cheap. I mean it is cheap and that's why I got it, but still. In the end, if I had more money I would probably get something else, but I'm happy with it now.

It fits perfectly where I wanted it. It's not the sturdiest book shelf ever, but for the price and for holding books it's perfect!

It was fairly easy to assemble once I figured out the instructions didn't tell you that the holes are tapered and the screws have to be put in only one way. Once I took it back apart, and reassembled it the right way, I decided I really liked it!

Mudroom Shoe Rack with Tray and shelf

Mudroom Shoe Rack with Tray and shelfI order this and it came missing one of the holes that you need to insert the shelf and then I was sent another one that was also damaged, so I gave up. While the product was less than satisfactory, the company was very nice to work with.

Easy to put together. Not top quality furniture, but for the price it is sturdy and attractive. A very useful addition to a mudroom.

Wire World 3-Tier Rolling Cart, White

Wire World 3-Tier Rolling Cart, WhiteIf you are looking for a very sturdy cart these are not the ones but if you want one for the bathroom for a few not very heavy items these are great!

I bought this because of the size and price, and I am happy with both of those for it fits right under my pedestal sink in the bathroom. The three shelves triple the space I had under there before. However the wires are a bit too widely spaced for it to store small items without a little container. Also, the wheels are a little cheap and don't always roll. I would recommend this to a friend though, and a bonus was how easy it was to assemble.

I bought two of these to store my garden potatoes and onions in. They are perfect for that as they allow the air to flow around them and take up little space. Probably not a good idea to purchase one if you want to store anything heavy.

the cart seem work just OK, IF YOU put a few light items on it

there some things I don't like the product are 4 the Wheels because they don't run smooth when moving around

and also it is fall because of the weak frame cart when items on it.

I needed something to store potatoes, onions, fruits, peanuts & etc. that was off the floor but not inside a cabinet and this works great. I put a dish towel in each tier cos I don't like onion skins dropping on the floor and it is exactly what I needed!

Magnussen Tanner Wood Chairside Table

Magnussen Tanner Wood Chairside TableWe saw this in a high end furniture store but bought it from Amazon to save the sales tax. It is a nice piece of furniture but does require assembly. On one of the two I purchased I had to actually plane down the drawer because it didn't fit properly. That took an extra 20 minutes of fiddling around and if I wasn't handy it would have been a problem.

Solid, a little heavier than I thought it would be. Also, a little more rustic than it looks in the picture. Has that hand scraped looked. Great size.

Rubbermaid 5E10 FastTrack Utility Hook

Rubbermaid 5E10 FastTrack Utility HookOut of all the FastTrack hooks this one is my favorite. I use this one for all the garden tools, some power tools, halogen tripod light, brooms, rakes, elecric snow shovel...

We ordered the Rubbermaid Fast Track system for our garage, along with the Utility Hook and several other hooks. We now have all of the clutter off the floor and onto the wall where we can reach it. Fantastic!

I purchased this to hang the garden hose in the backyard. Installation was a breeze...though I was disappointed that the hook didn't come with screws.

The hook is well made and feels very solid. It doesn't feel like a cheap, flimsy piece of plastic. It can be used outdoors and it won't rust. For my application, it's perfect. I'll probably buy a couple of more to help organize some of my tools in the garage.

Rockler Lumber Storage Rack

Rockler Lumber Storage RackI bought two of these from the Rockler store. Each comes with a package of six #10 2" screws, which I immediately swapped out for lag bolts. The problem I found with the product you'll probably only find if you try to max out the load capacity. It's not a bad buy if you don't load it down with 300lbs like it states on the box. BTW also comes w/o any instructions or recommendations. I have a lot of lumber in my shop, and one of the units failed after about 30 minutes on the wall. The good news is that the whole thing didn't come crashing down as the shelves lock in to the track pretty well. I came back to find it severely droopy on one end... the u-channel just started to crush under the weight. The flaw I see is that the tracks come with 3 holes pre-drilled. One at top, one at bottom, and one in the middle. problem is, that's where most people will want to put the shelves because you've only got 24" to work with, and it's a weak spot in the track. That's where mine failed... right at the top where the screw goes. I moved that shelf down two spots and it's holding up, but the people at Rockler offered to take it back, so I think I will and get something with longer tracks that will hold more weight.

I needed to get my lumber off the garage floor because I needed the space in my shop and I needed a more affective way to access my material. This lumber storage rack performed exactly as advertised. It securely holds quite a bit of material overhead and out of the way. I used the hardware included with the product to attach the rack to the studs of my garage. I then loaded the rack down with wood and it hasn't moved since. I have no complaints about this product and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Got this as a Christmas gift and I knew right away that I would not be disappointed with the quality the material is solid and was of good quality. It didnt take me very long either to install it now all of my woodworking stock is off the floor and happily resting on my new rack. This rack is great especially if you have a small woodworking shop if mine was bigger I would've just built one but this one was perfect for my tiny shop.

Purchased for my son. Installation seemed to double storage in his garage. Items easily assessable but out of the way. Utilized space previously unusable.

I bought three of these racks and set them up with six shelves about seven feet long. Right now I have about 200 board feet of red oak piled up on the wall off the shop floor and handy to get to. I thought the screws that came with it were undersized so I swapped them out with some 2 1/2". Make sure you hit studs when hanging. It seems very strong.
