Way Basics Eco Storage Cube Plus

Way Basics zBoard Eco Storage Cube Plus, GreenI have been looking for a small bookcase that I can put my 15 nursing books in my closet at the bottom. I could not find anything that I had in my imagination. After multiple searches on amazon.com, I was so happy when I found the way basics cubes! They are perfect size, colors and so easy to assemble. They are very durable, strong and fun too! I bought 2, lined them together and they are excellent for my books. I plan to get 2 more. Love them.

These cubes are exactly what they claim to be easy to put together, no tools, colorful, and sturdy enough. I bought two and have them stacked, using them to store my LP Records. They took less than 5 minutes to put together and are surprisingly sturdy considering there are no nails or screws, just double-sided tape. I would definitely buy these again for records, books, or anything else.

You need to be very careful putting this together, as the sticky strips are VERY sticky, so once you attach it, its there for good. I'm not sure what happened to the person who had one collapse. I sat on mine (I'm 220*) and it didn't move. They must have left the back off? It's fake wood, but looks great for the price!

I'm using it as a printer stand and putting the extra paper in the cube...works great!

I bought two of these cubes and had them both assembled in about 10 minutes. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, having obviously been written by someone with a sense of humor who understands human nature. The information also tells you that the cubes are made from recycled paper -so no trees were killed to create them -and how to place the cubes properly so they don't collapse. They're very affordable, attractive and easy to assemble.

My neighbor & I made this single cube (tomorrow the 3 cube tower). You can actually make sense of the instructions. Over the years I've gotten items where the instructions ranged from difficult to utterly worthless. The instructions, both diagrams and words, made sense. It took very little effort to put this cube together. They suggest that you put it aside for 24 hours with some books piled on top so that the glue settles. So it is sitting with 5 massive cook books on top. The cube it self can hold most of your large books in both height and depth. It won't hold a large Atlas or other books of that size. I'm happy.

Ameriwood 48-Inch Cabinet

Ameriwood 48-Inch CabinetFor the price, I would have expected better. Now, that's not to say it's a bad product. The instructions were okay, and the end result looks good and it looks good and feels durable. However, there were several items that discouraged me with it.

The door handles look cheap and are painted industrial grey. I ended up going to the hardware store and buying some nice cabinet handles for less than $20 that look much better. For looks, if this were purely a cabinet for your garage, it looks great! However, since I wanted it inside my house, I expected a little more from the hardware that came with it.

The latch hardware is cheap and barely works.

The lock hardware works. However, because I didn't need a lock, I ended up using a closet door finger pull to plug the hole fashionably, and to match the new handles I installed.

The twist lock cams are a little odd and more difficult to work with than I have experienced with other RTA products.

The sliding shelf itself is too narrow for the slot, resulting in it being insecure once you install it with the drawer slides. I ended up adding three washers on one side of the shelf where the slide attaches, and that fixed the problem.

I do have to say the leveling legs on the bottom work great and were easy to install. I also like the flexibility of shelf placement within the unit.

GSC Shelving Unit, Black

GSC 1224-4SR 4-Level Shelving Unit, BlackTerrible product. Not all the parts arrived for assembly. Not a sturdy shelf.

I was given this shelving unit for my garage. It has been a nightmare trying to get it assembled. The 2 top caps and the 2 bottom caps are missing, therefore; the shelf can not sit level. I contacted the manufacturer and filled out the request list. This particular shelf is not listed for parts. Finally, a phone call got me through and I explained the problem. The other day the 4 caps were sent. All the wrong size. There is no way they will fit. I have tried again to request new parts and no answer. This shelf unit can be purchased at Lowe's for much less money. I would suggest no one purchase it. There are better choices.

The quality of the product is excellent. One problem is that I had ordered 3" high fences that were 13" long. The box is marked 3" x 13" but the product is actually 3" x 11" long. If I was going to order from this company again, which I'm not, I wouldn't know what to order!
