Organize It All Spa Wall Caddy

Organize It All Spa Wall CaddyLooks great out of the box but it isn't made right. It tips down and I had it perfectly level so it is a design flaw. It's a sham because I wanted to like it. I ended up returning it.

Only two screws on the end. Once I started placing items on the shelf it leaned forward. I ended up adding a third screw myself in the middle. That solved the problem, but it should have been designed better.

I am very happy with the style and quality of this shelf. There is one issue, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. With the mounting screws screwed as far into the wall as you can go and still grip the brackets on the shelf, the top cross bar still sags out a bit. It will not pull flush with the wall. I had to add my own third bracket under this upper part of the shelf so that it would sit flush against the wall and not look like everything is about to slide off onto the floor.

Now, I really like this shelf, so don't get me wrong. If you are slightly handy you can remedy this easily. I just want people to know that the shelf will not sit quite right without some additional work.

The product looks lovely, but the dimensions listed seem to be WAY off....I have seen this product on other web sites, and they are listed as 23 1/4" wide, 6" high and 9 1/2" deep.....Can you correct this?

Aero Collection:60-inch TV Stand

Aero Collection:60-inch TV StandBought this stand to set a 70" Sharp LCD on. TV overhangs on sides by 1-2", but is very stable and looks good.

Set aside a couple of hours to put this together maybe if you are really handy you could get it done in 60 minutes with 2 people, it took my wife and I about 90 minutes. If you're doing it solo will certainly take longer.

The reason I didn't give 5 stars was because I had problems with several of the studs that you screw into panels in order to lock them together. At least half a dozen of them had malformed screw driver slots, and I also struggled to get some of them to go in completely straight. In the end I got around the slots by using a set of vice grips to spin them into place, and the studs that didn't go in perfectly straight did not cause alignment problems at the assembly steps, so everything turned out OK.

Unpacked and made it to step 1 on the assembly list. One whole side wall is missing ! We are not talking a small piece of hardware , this is a major component. This shows the nonexistence of a quality control system. Was delivered on a Friday afternoon and Bush Furniture's customer service works only regular Monday-Friday office hours, my new TV will be sitting on the floor for way too long. I will update once I get all the parts to assemble the stand. 5/28 talked to customer service,missing part is too big to overnight (according to them).They tried to make Amazon responsible for the missing part ! 5/29 Missing part arrived,assembly was easy,stand looks very nice and is very sturdy,upgrading from 1 star to 4 stars

Fits my Yamaha surround sound with my x-box, PS3 and cable box all fine. Keeps them dust free which I like. The pre-made holes for some of the hardware didn't line up causing the right side to be loose. I can't tighten it at all, but long as I don't move the piece it seams to stay.

The assembly instructions were very easy to use. The quality of the product was exceptional. We were very happy with the upscale look of the stand. One of the main reasons I chose this model was the space in front for my sound bar. Once it was set up, we couldn't' be happier with the stand. I didn't even realize the top shelf was glass, but that made the look even better!!

This is perfect for my new 60" Samsung (which I also purchased from Amazon). It has a little bit of storage space for me to put my family pictures in the bottom, holds my tv equipment and blends in very nicely with my furniture. Looks far more expensive after put together than it actually costs. Down side is that it takes a few hours to put together but economical compared to a cabinet from a furniture store.

The Happy Closet Baby Closet Dividers, Pink and Chocolate

The Happy Closet Baby Closet Dividers, Pink and ChocolateThese closet dividers are great! They are sturdy, made out of wood rather than plastic. They are large enough to see in the midst of all of the clothes and hangers. They have easy removable stickers to change size labels. And they match my dayghter's nursery decor perfectly! Love these!

These closet dividers are perfect to use for a baby or young girls closet. The dividers are very heavy duty and look very durable. They come with different stickers to designate either size or type of clothing that is being divided. I was expecting them to be thinner and was pleasentaly suprised by how thick and durable they are.

Welland 24 Inch x 4 Inch x 2 Inch Photo Ledge Picture Display Shelf Black

Welland 24 Inch x 4 Inch x 2 Inch Photo Ledge Picture Display Shelf BlackI absolutely love these photo ledges! I currently have two already, however the ones from IKEA are much cheaper and the same if not better quality! (So if you're close to an IKEA, I'd suggest heading over to them), but if you're not close, this is definitely similar! Overall, these are great and easy to put on the wall! I couldn't live without them!

BRACKET FASTTRACK 12" WH

BRACKET FASTTRACK 12' WH
  • For use with Rubbermaid Closet 12" shelving and all Free Slide shelving
  • Epoxy coated steel
  • Boxed
  • White
  • 12"

The Rubbermaid closet organizer that I bought from Amazon is wonderful. I ordered these brackets to customize the unit. Turns out I should have paid more attention to the product number identifier. These brackets were not meant to go with the unit I had previously purchased. So, just a caution to other buyers, there are several different units that are not interchangable! I managed to use these brackets anyway (by being creative, LOL), but it would have been good if I would have checked first to make sure this product was the same as the one I was using it on.

Organize It All Glass Shelf with Antique Brass Mounts

Organize It All Glass Shelf with Antique Brass MountsI bought 2 for my new bathroom. I installed them myself (husband not included or needed). They are just perfect for the space. I was a little afraid that the hooks would overwhelm the beauty of the glass, but they don't at all, and I believe the hooks provide the stability. I have 3 potted African violets on one and I am sure the shelf could hold twice the weight of the plants they are so sturdy. I am very glad I chose these shelves.

my husband and i purchased these for both of our bathrooms and im impressed with how chic it has made the bathroom look. it was easy to install and seems quite durable.

Winsome Terrace 5-Piece Storage Shelf/Bookcase

Winsome Terrace 5-Piece Storage Shelf/BookcaseThis little storage unit came in three boxes. One contained the shelving and assembly hardware, the other two contained the wicker baskets to be used once the unit was assembled. The shelving was about what I expected, veneer coated MDF shelves with cam-lock hardware. The color description and the actual color were a little "off" as far as I'm concerned. The shelving is close to what I would call a "brown black." The fit and finish was actually pretty precise compared to some other similar pieces I've purchased over the years. It took me a little more than an hour to unpack and assemble things, and another half hour cleaning up Styrofoam chips and the like that got scattered during unpacking. All the drilling and installed plastic fittings were within good tolerances. Only one out of twenty of the plastic glued in place screw plugs which hold the little metal bars that the cam fittings lock in place "spun loose" when I over torqued the bar a hair, but it didn't pull out of the shelf, so I was able to use it without re-gluing. Every part was described in the set up instructions and they were pretty easy to follow. My only complaint is that one of the small baskets seems to have a darker stain job than the rest, possibly because the woven material on the front of the darker basket was denser than the materials in the other baskets, or more likely, because it got spray painted a little longer than the other baskets did. The shelf unit back comes in two pieces which you have to join using a little plastic track. I found that part of the assembly a little "tacky" and was glad that the baskets hide the ridge made by the plastic strip which holds the two back parts together. The back is made that way so that everything can be packed and shipped in a single relatively compact box with little wasted space in it.

We purchased the unit so that we could put a small TV on top of it and have some extra storage for guests to use, and it fits the bill nicely. I would not plan to put anything really heavy in the baskets or the shelves might get scratched or warp. It seems strong enough to hold the 35lb 30" wide 4" thick old TFT screen TV we recently retired from our master bedroom in favor of a larger set, and it puts it at about the right height for a guest to watch lying in bed or sitting up against the backboard. It gets along well with our 1920's blanket chest and an older inexpensive two drawer storage unit that used to have a marble top that my wife keeps for sentimental reasons, it belonged to her grandmother, and it gets used to store blankets and stuff we rarely use. If we had invested in newer furniture or had valuable antiques in that room I would have ordered something a little fancier.

In my attached video, you get a better impression of the size of this unit than you will from the stock picture and dimensions. It isn't that big!

Corner Cabinet Lazy Susan Hardware

Corner Cabinet Lazy Susan HardwareThis product is ok. It was easy to install (template provided helped a lot)and it now functions pretty well, after some tweaks. I installed it stand alone behind a bi-fold corner cabinet door (not attached to a rotating door). There were a couple of things I wasn't very pleased with. The shelf support hardware provided is held in place against the center post using a single screw (a set screw)and the same approach is used for connecting the 2 separate halves of the post (one nested inside the other with set screw to keep them aligned). When attempting to rotate the installed lazy susan by grasping and turning a shelf, there is a tendency instead for either the shelf hardware to rotate around the post (rather than the post rotating as it should) or half of the post to rotate within the other half of the post. The post issue I fixed by actually drilling through the inner piece and running the screw through both so they were positively engaged. The shelf supports, I have just tightened the set screws as tight as I can get them. I didn't want to drill these in the event that I wanted to adjust shelf position on the post.

The other issue with the shelf hardware is that it uses a single set screw, which, when tightened, tends to skew the hardware slightly so the the hardware is not exactly perpendicular to the center post. When you put a large 28" shelf on the hardware it is really unlevel. I ended up having to use some pieces of sheet aluminum as shims between the center hole of the hardware and the post to get the hardware to set evenely when the set screw was tightened down.

The final thing, which was just my mis-interpretation of what I was ordering, is that the 2 shelves don't rotate independently. The post itself rotates with both shelves rotating with it.

Overall not a bad product considerig what you pay for one of these that includes shelves etc. I used shelves I alread had from another lazy susan.

Everyday ol Joe can't install this product!! You need to be a skilled trim carpenter to make the adjustments, & to align the doors when trying center the upper & lower end of turntable pole. Very hard to to do for low skilled.

Oak TV Stand w 2 Drawers

Oak TV Stand w 2 DrawersI bought this from a local stores website after seeing it on Amazon and other places online. It is a very attractive piece, seems well made. One caution is that the spaces for the AV electronics is pretty small. I was able to fit a blue ray and satellite box easily enough, but when I tried to fit my AV Amp in ther (Yamaha 5.1 type) It just barely fits from a height standpoint(concerns about overheating) and it doesn't fit the depth. The stand is only about 13" deep in the electronics shelf and most amps are 13-17" so be careful and measure your AV boxes before ordering!

We bought a coffee table and two end tables at a thrift store and the TV stand actually matched it so we had to get it. The above review is correct. Make sure you measure what's going in the cabinet. We do not have stereo components. We have the satellite receiver, DVD player and my Wii. Everything fits great. It is a very sturdy piece of furniture. It came very well packaged and actually 1 week early. The seller, Wayfair, was wonderful to deal with. The color is more of a warm reddish brown, very pretty. I would recommend this piece of furniture, just make sure you measure first. I would also recommend the seller, Wayfair. I would definitely purchase from them again.

Grayline 457101, 6 Piece Cabinet organizer Set, White

Grayline 457101, 6 Piece Cabinet organizer Set, WhiteThis helps organizing the kitchen very well. My 16pc dinnerware fits in these organizers pretty good. Keeps the plates, bowls clean and provides easy access to the zip locks and foils. One drawback is, the foil/zip lock organizer comes with screws that are to be nailed to the closet door which I do not prefer. No one does. So, I bought the little plastic hook with strips that sticks to the door and hung it. (The suction hooks won't work on a wooden door.)

Other than that, it's a great product, I would buy another set when needed.

So helpful in my cabinets. Don't have a lot of storage, so this helped make things actually fit better and is now organized. Sturdy for heavy casserole dishes. Great prices, great buy!

I finally got tired of messy cupboards with a bunch of junk (as well as useful things) I couldn't find. So I searched Amazon for organizers, and got about 3 different shipments. Now the kitchen cupboards are more accessible, washcloths and pillowcases hang separately in their own little basket in the linnen closet, and I even have a some of my computer electronics organized with a surge suppressor in a basket under my desk, with wires threaded through the holes.

I originally just wanted the wrapper holder, but decided to get this set since I also find those little shelves useful. I really like the spice rack organizer! The lid holder was disappointing, since the notches in it seem to prove too small to be useful, and very small lids don't really fit in it.
