Household Essentials Sweater Storage Bag

Household Essentials Underbed Storage Chest, Natural CanvasVery happy with these bags, and will buy more soon. They are large enough for 2 or 3 Merino or cashmere sweaters, or 2 heavier gauge knits. The zippers are sturdy, and the canvas ensures that the clothing can breathe. Beware, though, that not all insects are repelled by this type of bag, although I like them enough to use them anyway. You're safe from moths but carpet beetles are fairly omniverous and will eat through any fabric (even leather or suede) if hungry enough. A lesson we learned after hundreds of dollars of damage.

I purchased this product because I wanted a storage item that is cotton (=breathable) to store my wool and cashmere sweaters/scarfs. This bag has a zipper that goes around the top (both size and front) so it opens widely, which makes it easy for you to store items. The cotton canvas is breathable, light and good size. I have 4 of these bags and stored my items with lavender sachets. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. Note that if you are looking for a container with firm structure, this is not the right one for you as this is a Sweater "Bag", not a Box.

These storage bags are what I was looking for, but there are a few things worth mentioning. The hard plastic boxes don't fit under my bed, so I had to get these soft ones. That being said, because the bottom is canvas, it does not slide at all on carpet, so I have to turn them over on the clear plastic side to get them under the bed. They are a bit floppy with all the clothes in them, but I am happy to be able to keep my winter clothes under the bed this summer. So far, the product seems to be ok quality-wise. The zippers are pretty small, so you can't treat it roughly, but under normal use, it should be fine.

This is a good sweater bag and a great price for two! I like them so much I will order another pack. They each fit two normal sweaters--maybe only one a bag if you have super bulky sweaters.

I'm an "organization" nut so I bought these to use for my sheets. It doesn't matter now if they're perfectly folded or not. I put them in a pile and slip out the bag from the bottom. The clean ones get piled on top and these bags also allow me to see the colors. I've also used some for actual sweaters. Pefect for my purpose. Would buy again if needed. Good quality.

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?

:USE Nuovo 20-Inch Shelf / Towel Rod, Polished Chrome

:USE Nuovo 20-Inch Shelf / Towel Rod, Polished ChromeI looked high and low for a towel shelf/rack that was smaller than 24" or 30" wide. I almost gave up before I found this one. Really good quality and nice looking design.

I just completed a renovation of my very small and only bathroom in a 1914 apartment. My eyes were way bigger than my bathroom because the first towel bar and shelving unit were way too big for the space. That's when I knew I needed a towel bar/shelf combo. Everything I found at Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware was way too big for the space. I needed something 22" or smaller. I originally found this at Home Depot but for $100 more than Amazon. So I snapped it up. And even with next-day shipping (I'm a Prime member), it was still $95 dollars cheaper and I didn't need to make the trek to the store. It looks fantastic in my bathroom. It provides the vintage look I was going for. Only complaint is that it doesn't come in any other colors. It only comes in polished chrome but hardly a complaint when it fits my bathroom perfectly.

I love this shelf. Heavy enough but not too heavy. Wide enough to hold several bath towels on top. Great shelf for the price!

We ordered the 20' inch chrome shelf. My husband went to a tremendous amount of trouble to mount this rack on a tile surface, since the directions were incorrect. In addition, some of the bolts were missing so I contacted :USE (the manufacturer) via email since they don't have a customer service number on their site. I sent two emails requesting the bolts, and they totally ignored me. Learn from my mistake and go to Moen or Kohler, a company that actually has a customer service department, just in case you have any issues with the item. It looks like my husband will have to remove the rack and return it to Amazon and start all over again!

Want :USE Nuovo 20-Inch Shelf / Towel Rod, Polished Chrome Discount?

This item arrived quickly from amazon. It is nice, but not as sturdy as I would have liked. It is a little rickety. Also, it has been an adventure installing it. I followed the directions on the box and their measurements were wrong. I am still working on it but have run out of drywall screws, so I will need to install it tomorrow.

3-Tier Corner Shelf in Multicolor

3-Tier Corner Shelf in MulticolorIt looks like it does in the picture and was easy to put together but it was nit the quality I expected.

The top shelf was scuffed and coloring had faded on part of the surface...hence only 3 stars.. If not for the impaired top shelf, it's a good piece and a great addition to my daughters room.

:USE Ollipsis Console with Glass Shelf

:USE Ollipsis 30-Inch Console with Glass Shelf, Satin NickelI loved the item for the price it was worth it. However, the screw on the bracket was broken in half. It still could be put together but it took several efforts to get it up. Its an attractive item and I got a good deal. I figured something was going to be wrong for such a reduction in price.

It was just perfect to display some items above a bathroom window in a half bath.

Love everything about this shelf--it's modern look really accents my bathroom. I'm no handy man here, so getting it even and level on the wall was somewhat of a challenge. Yes, the directions are helpful, it is simply my lack of an actual level or the patience to ask someone to help me install it is what made this difficult. A great item overall.

This is a very nice shelf which was extremely reasonable price wise. It is thick tempered glass and looks great!

Want :USE Ollipsis Console with Glass Shelf Discount?

It's hard to believe that a glass shelf would originally cost so much and even at the discounted price it's still twice the cost of the exact same item when purchased from the manufacturer via Walmart online. Even though the shipping cost with Walmart adds just under $6 it's still a better deal than this.

Welland 48 Inch x 8 Inch x 1.125 Inch Portland Solid Wood Floating Shelving Wall Shelf Espresso

Welland 48 Inch x 8 Inch x 1.125 Inch Portland Solid Wood Floating Shelving Wall Shelf EspressoI bought 4 of these. They all mounted easily enough and looked great. They were shipped well and I had no damaged ones. The only issue was the anchors that came with the shelves. If you're going into plaster, stay away from the factory provided anchors and screws. I ran up to my local Home Depot and bought some heavy duty anchors made just for plaster. Did the trick. No problems. The issue with the ones provided was that any amount of weight on the shelf they would immediately start to lean. The anchors provided didn't even open up, I discovered after pulling them back out. Great shelf, looks amazing but do the right thing and buy separate anchors. Save yourself some time.

When I got the first 6 shelves I was disappointed because 3 were damaged under the plastic like it happened before shipping and we were missing 2 hardware packets but they were great about sending me 3 new shelves. Other than having to wait I was happy.

Baxton Studio Xavier Modern TV Stand, Brown

Baxton Studio Xavier Modern TV Stand, BrownThis is a nice looking stand, but poorly manufactured. (This is not Amazon's fault--I did not try to exchange it due to the hassle of fitting it back into the original box.) The pre-drilled holes where the side pieces and lower shelves attach are too big, so the screws do not tighten. Luckily the top shelf and center back support did tighten securely into metal support bars. My husband jury-rigged the side holes so that the screws would stay in although they're still loose. I noticed this item has already dropped in price since I bought it, so maybe this is the reason. If you're looking for something with a no-hassle assembly you may want to look at another brand.

Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: White

Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: WhiteStainless top came STAINED, magnetic closure does not stay closed and pops open every time there is the smallest air pressure change. Handles are NOT metal, they are plastic painted to look like metal. If it were easier to return, I would have. But since it doesn't look like a TOTAL piece of crap overall, I gave it the extra star.

This cart is perfect for a tiny kitchen, however, it needs to be about 6" deeper to be fully functional. It was also hard to put together. The directions were not clear and the materials are so flimsy that they split when the screws were inserted. Overall, it looks good and you get what you pay for.

The item came faster than I expected but the package was damaged. I don't think it was from the company though I think it was from UPS. Anyway my husband put it together pretty fast and we kept the wheels off to place it as an kitchen island. All in all I love the cart and and even though I read the reviews I decided to try it for myself and im glad I did.

Read Best Reviews of Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: White Here

This cart looks nicer than it is. I bought it since I have a pretty nice one from two years ago and wanted to match it. It's a hair more than that one was, but time had passed.... but wow, this one is flimsy, many holes were inaccurately drilled (making it difficult to assemble with right angles and good tolerances), not all parts bags were marked correctly (nor all pieces) and the instructions were quite poorly translated/written.

If I hadn't put together the previous incarnation two years ago it would have been a lot harder to put together. The flimsiness/shoddiness of the materials is the real kicker, though.

The back piece of the cabinet is even thinner tagboard than before, and several of the pieces, even though pre-drilled, cracked as soon as the screws went into them to put together, before tightening. The pre-drilled holes for the casters were not straight, and some were too large and the screws won't tighten.

I live extremely rurally and needed the cart, so I glued and made do, but I would not purchase this item if there were any remotely similar item available. Several of the bags of screws and parts were missing items, and I had to use some of my own hardware to finish the assemlby--I could not leave a partially assembled cart in the middle of the kitchen for weeks waiting for replacement screws to arrive.

Now that it is together, it's holding up ok, but I would not try to stack a lot on the inner shelf nor load the bottom shelf with too much, either, making it not as useful as I had thought it would be.

If you're handy and cheap, this is OK; if you have more money to spend, get a different item.

Want Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: White Discount?

Looks fine...but mine came with some wrong parts. I got 3 hinges for the left door and 1 for the right. I was able to take the pin out of one of the hinges and make new screw holes to get it to work. Also, the hinges didn't fit right so the doors wouldn't shut all of the way. I had to bend the hinges and raise the doors slightly to keep them from pinching.

It works decent now and looks fine, but definitely not worth the money.

Zenith Products Matte Black Spacesaver

Zenith Products Matte Black SpacesaverThis was such a pleasure; we had bought two of them, for over our toilet space savers/cabinets in each bathroom. (Replacing other kind we had)Putting stuff like this together is never something to look forward to. It was a pleasant surprise when we (we means hubby!) took it out and everything was so simple. This was one of the very few (actually only ones I could find) that didn't have the bottom bar across it our toilet tank has pipes/coils coming out the back and there is no way to put any of those kind over our toilet unless we just broke it. What was very helpful is that the parts bags are numbered & lettered, so very easy to make sure you are putting the right screws where they need to be. They look really classy; I might anchor it a little more, but they do provide an anchor strap that is sufficient. And, as the first reviewer commented, I'm a happy wife now, which is of course the most important!

This cabinet was exactly what was discrible and I received it in two days with Prime. Assembled and put into location in the bathroom, Done! Looks nice, easy to assemble and most importantly, wife is happy!!

We put this together and it looks really nice. I only have two gripes:

1) For a wood piece of furniture it shows every finger print on it's doors. I spend a lot of time cleaning it and it's just annoying noone wants fingerprints in the bathroom.

2) Its not very stable. When you open the doors it wibble wobbles around on it's four little legs. Maybe if it had more substantial feet it wouldn't do this but I'm not a designer..

Definitely does the job, but I'm not in love with it.

Read Best Reviews of Zenith Products Matte Black Spacesaver Here

Looks good but very unstable. The legs are too thin, something I did not think about before purchasing. Also after couple months or so, one of the doors fell off. It appears the screws are too short to hold the door in place and in additions, the hinges were too tight. It caused wood around the screws to chip. To remedy the problem, I oiled the hinges with cooking oil to loosen the tension, and bought four longer screws (two additional for other door too) to hold the door in place better. The new screws ended up going through the other side but at least the doors are holding it's place for now.

I regret spending almost $200 dollars for this product, when I could have spend much less that is more durable and better built. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Con-Tact Premium Ribbed Shelf Liner 18 in x 15 ft

Con-Tact Premium Ribbed Shelf Liner 18 in x 15 ftThis Con-Tact shelf liner is great, probably the best shelf liner I've used. It is *very* easy to cut, which makes installation a breeze. With other shelf liners -I'm thinking of the Ikea stuff, which is especially bad -it is tough to cut straight lines, meaning lots of annoying trimming. None of that necessary with the Con-Tact; I got a clean cut the first time, every time.

My only quibble is the size, particularly the width. It seems like I was coming up *just* a little short in many places. I would have preferred it to be 20 inches, rather than 18 inches wide. Maybe my kitchen just has wide drawers, so this might not be an issue for you.

If you are a Costco member, you can buy it there for half the going rate here.

This product is made in Taiwan.

I prefer to use this shelf liner under bathroom cabinets. It's sturdy & clans up easily. It's a bit slick, so items slide out easily, but you do want to tack it down, some way, probably. I prefer this type over the adhesive type that is such a PITA to remove if/when you want to change it out.

Easy to cut and fit, sometimes it curls up as I am laying on the shelf, so I use a hair dryer to soften it and then it lays nice and flat. It looks clean on the shelf.

I bought this liner because I thought it would be easy to clean but the ridges actually make it harder. Also, it's a little thinner than I thought it would be but so far has not caused any issues. Next time I will try a cork liner as I heard it works very well, is thick and easy to clean.

Honey-Can-Do WRD-01273 30-Inch Wide Extra-Tall Top-Shelf Storage Closet, Blue

Honey-Can-Do WRD-01273 30-Inch Wide Extra-Tall Top-Shelf Storage Closet, BlueAfter I assembled it and put my daughters clothes in that she outgrew, it collapsed. The poles bent and plastic snapped. Now folks were talking about childrens clothing sizes 1 6. We're not talking about heavy weight at all. The closet wasn't even full. Don't waste your money.

I put it together and literally within 1 hour it collapse and the corners all cracked. I had to tape them for reinforcement. I didn't return the item due to these cracks..

I would not recommend.

I bought two of these. I assembled them both, put my clothes in them, and they both literally collapsed. The plastic snapped, the poles bent. This was under the weight of just regular clothes, and the closet wasn't even full yet. A waste of time and money. I returned both of the damaged closets.
