Seville Classics 11.5 by 17.5 by 12-Inch 12-Bottle Wine Rack

Seville Classics SHE05110 12-Bottle Chrome Wine RackAfter searching for wine racks, we decided on two sets of this one. We're very pleased with our decision. The item is described as "industrial-like". It is as sturdy as similar types of racking found in restaurants, one of the reasons for purchasing this item.

The racks came unassembled, but were very easy to assemble. Also included were 4 additional side post extenders. A great feature that isn't noted: The racks come with leveling feet which add to the stability of the units.

The following are some comparisons with other units considered.

1) This unit holds a larger number of wine bottles than some of the more decorative units, but at a lower price.

2) The metal racking is less susceptible to problems caused by dampness and temperature changes than rattan or soft wood racks.

3) If leveling feet are not included with some of the other racks, then there might be a problem with stability and a greater chance of tipping.

4) Some of the wood racks store wine bottles on flat racks with wood separators between the bottles. There was no adjustability between the shelves or the bottles, so special racks would need to be purchased for oversized bottles. This unit has large enough scalloped wine holders to hold wine bottles in a variety of sizes without adjusting the racks.

This item is well worth its cost, the purchase price plus the shipping charge.

This rack fell right into the style & price range that I wanted. After searching many styles, I chose this one and I couldn't be more pleased. An earlier review stated this was difficult to assemble, but it's not you just have to read the directions carefully and then realize that they tell you rack-by-rack how to put it together. The leveling feet are a great feature and there is, also included in the box, the additional hardware for adding another rack. I am very happy with this selection.

I agree with Morning Glory, this is a great little wine rack. My bar is a limited space and this fits nicely yet holds a bunch. It is stable and the bottles are secure. Being able to expand it is an attractive feature.

I bought this rack to keep a case of wine in easy reach on a shelf in the basement. The rack was easy to assemble, and it is stable and holds twelve bottles of wine very nicely. It also has a small footprint, and the price is reasonable. I would buy this rack again.

This is a great little wine rack for folks like us who keep a little wine on hand, but are not wine connoisseurs by any means. The unit is compact enough to easily fit in a corner in our kitchen, but large enough to hold 12 bottles of wine. It may not be the most stylish thing, but it's unobtrusive and gets the job done.

InterMETRO Natural Cotton Canvas Cover (Storage Unit Sold Seperately)

InterMETRO Natural Cotton Canvas CoverI LOVE this product. I'm a quilter and use a wire shelving unit I purchased at Sam's Club for my stash of fabrics. I wanted to keep my fabrics as dust-free as possible and ordered this cover. The canvas is a good quality, the sewing is well done, and the roll up flap is great to be able to see everything on the shelves. I am now going to buy more as I have more of these shelving units for other storage purposes.

Also, organize-it, the seller, is a great shop to deal with.

Good cover and fabric, but it would perhaps be a bit better if it had a zipper opening of some sort rather than a drop down with ties.

not quite what i had hoped for, but its no fault of the manufacturer or advertising; it does do the job. wish the method of securing it was slightly more sophisticated for the price, maybe buttons or snaps. it could also use a grommet at the very bottom. all in all though, not terrible.

to note, intermetro does make (or at least, made) a similar cover with a zipper, i saw one as a display in the store i bought my shelves, but they were sold out and so was everyone else, a shame.

I needed a "closet" in a room that didn't have one. I found the clothing rack at Sams on line. When the cover was put on the rack it became a very attractive and useful "closet". The total cost was over $180 but it was much cheaper than having a closet put in.

Pefectly covers my Alera Wire Shelving Garment without being so long that the fabric gets caught in the wheels. Fits well.

Frenchi Home Furnishing 3 Tier Wall Corner Shevles, Cherry Color

Frenchi Home Furnishing 3 Tier Wall Corner Shevles, Cherry ColorNOTE THE SIZE!!! I was fooled by the picturedon't know what size the knick knacks are in the picture, but they must have been for a dolls house. The top arch is plastic only one side, the other side is hollow and caved in. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I'm disappointed in the product and in myself for not reading the dimensions. Here's hoping I get a refund.

as much as I still think these are a 'cute' item.... I wish the dimensions were listed so that I would have known not to purchase them.

I wish I would have looked at the size of this thing cause when I got it it was small and nothing fit on it. It looks cheap and I didn't feel like shipping back. I sit it up anyway. Oh and it fall over easy. I broke a piece I loved alot because of the thing falling.

I liked the way it look and forgot to see the size of it so of course it was too small.

FURINNO 12078 4-Tier Corner Display Rack Bookcase Shelving Unit

FURINNO 12078DC/BK Turn'n'Tube 4-Tier Corner Display Rack Multipurpose Shelving Unit, Dark Cherry/Blackthe picture makes it look bigger then it actually is. its very miniature size. if i had known how small it was i would not have bought it.

This is a great product for the price. It fit perfectly in my corner, is sturdy but light weight, and was easy to assemble ( no tools needed!).

Very ergonomic use of otherwise wasted corner space, especially in a small condo. Very easy assembly. Would like more color choices though.

Love it!

Thought it would be made of higher quality material, but overall it was easy to put together and functions fine.

Clearly the adage, "you get what you pay for" applies to this display rack. The pieces do not fit together properly, it leans sideways when assembled and it's hardly sturdy enough to hold it's own weight, let alone anything else. If you actually tried to stack books on the "bookshelf," the result would be disastrous. I returned mine immediately. Save yourself the trouble and pick something else.

TechCraft Xii50W 50-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Stand - Walnut Accents

TechCraft Xii50W 50-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Stand - Walnut Accents
  • 50 Inches Wide Walnut veneer flat panel stand with Black glass and Black metal braces
  • Fits most 50 Inches and smaller flat panel TV's
  • Ample space for components
  • Sleek and modern design

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and ease of assembly of this stand. It is larger than I expected and my 42 inch looked wimpy sitting on the 60 inch, so I ordered a second one once I was certain that I loved it. This stand comes in three sizes, a 42, 50 and 60 inch stand. I have the 42 and the 60 inch. The 42 holds my 42 inch TV perfectly. The 60 is a little large for my 46 inch screen...but not bad and I expect to upgrade to a larger screen at some point. This stand is deep enough for a much thicker TV if necessary, but flat screens look great on it. The two lower shelves provide ample room for any electronics that you may use. We have video games, DVD, DVR, cable boxes, you name it. Plenty of room for lots of items. There are Velcro bands on the back of the stand to help organize and hide the messy cables and cords.

The ONLY problem I had putting it together was that I was unaware that the three pieces of glass are different sizes (duh, I know). Anyway, when you put this together, remember that the largest piece is the top glass, the smallest piece of glass goes in the middle rack and the medium piece of glass is the bottom shelf.

**update**. I just came back to purchase another one of these for a different room. The price is still great and the quality is still as good as the first two...which are hanging in there and still look like new a couple of years later. Friends often ask where I got the stands. It is a very high quality piece for so few pesos. I had forgotten how inexpensive it was!

Just purchased a 55" LCD TV and needed a stand. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because we are moving soon and didn't want to be strapped with piece of furniture that might not match our new home. After looking at what seemed to be hundreds of different stands I kept coming back to this one because of the looks and the price. Another huge factor was all the positive reviews. After purchasing it and putting it together I must agree, WOW what a steal. The wood is actually REAL wood! not particle board and laminate. It matches our current furniture perfectly however its style would probably fit in just about anywhere. Its simple yet elegant. I really can't believe the price though. Looks and build quality is on par with stands we've seen in stores for $400 and up.

Delivery:

I was impressed with the packaging. They added 4 long strips of very thick cardboard that was longer then the box to each corner. It appeared by doing this that it prevented it from being placed on angles that would allow it to tip over. Very smart as this caused the delivery service (in my case UPS)to keep it flat at all times. Delivery was fast as usual with Amazon, I have Amazon Prime and needed it fast so I opted for next day for $3.99.

Assembly:

Construction was easy, did it myself in about 1/2 hour. The instructions are easy enough to follow, most parts are marked. Theres really not much to it, only a few screws and 6 major parts (excluding the glass). I recommend placing the piece first before putting the glass shelves on just because they add the weight. It holds my 75lb 55" TV as well as a 20lb center channel, a sony receiver, Directv receiver, Apple TV and Bluray player with room to spare.

Pros:

Looks great, Real Wood!, Easy assembly, PRICE PRICE PRICE!

Cons:

For this price and quality its hard to come up with a negative thing to say. It does what it claims, looks great doing it.

Bottom Line: If you like the looks of this stand GET IT! seriously, at $135 it's a super deal and you wont be disappointed.

Ordered this as a gift for my father's birthday, and neither of us could be more impressed. The packaging it came in was adequate, nothing came damaged or scuffed in anyway. Putting it together took about 15-20 minutes, the only confusing part was that there were no clear markings to which order the glass shelves went in, I had to play around with them and figure it out myself based on their sizes, which only took about 5 minutes. Once all built and in place, the stand was very solid, no wobble at all, and holds my father's 47" Samsung and components perfectly. The stand looks terrific, and goes perfectly with all the black/dark colored flat panel TV's out there these days. If you're on the fence about purchasing this, go ahead and get it! You're not going to find a better deal at this price on a well-made TV stand such as this one.

This stand looks great and is very well built. Very simplistic in design. You can't tell from the pictures, but the back plate is 3/4 inch thick heavy pressboard but has a very nice looking dark walnut type of wood grain veneer on both sides, similar in color as the front legs. The metal square tube frame that holds up the glass shelves has a high gloss black finish. An advantage I think over other stands is that this has no mid-walls at the shelves, so its 60 inches of wide open space to put whatever you want on them. For those wanting more dimensional information, these can be found at the TechCraft website. The upper shelf height is stated as 7 1/2" and the bottom shelf height is 8 1/4". However, this is the height for inserting your equipment via the front. Because the glass sits on top of horizontal front bars, you can squeeze about a half inch more in height by inserting items from the side. I installed bookshelf speakers that were exactly 8 inches tall (actually a width dimension but I turned them on their side) on the upper shelf by sliding them in from the side. I think 8 inches is a very common dimension for these type of speakers so I thought it was worth mentioning. I placed my stand in the corner of my room and the rounded back edges makes this look great. Because I tend to rewire and buy new components all the time, I added "magic sliders" to the bottom edge of the back plate and the bottoms of the two legs so that even with all of the weight on the stand it can be moved around so I can get to the wiring behind the unit. Since it's only supported by two front legs and the back plate, I thought that pulling and dragging it across carpet might put too much strain on the stand even though it is solidly built.

This is excellent and the one I got is cherry, not walmut. They did a great job of packing this. It was more work getting it out of the box then putting it together. It took me about a half a hour to put it together and I wasn't racing. Its a one man job putting it together, but it would be easier having a second person help you get out of the box. You don't want to do the X-Acto knife trick on the box in case you have to send it back for some reason. Its very good looking, and very solid. I haven't seen anything for $130 that compares to this.

I got a 16" DVR, a 13.2" center speaker and a 16.9" DVD/VCR on the bottom shelf with not much room left. The bottom shelf is a smidge less then 46.75". Thats measuring from inside post to inside post.

Go to the TechCraft website and you will find a PDF file for assembly, and you will see a dimension drawing.

Sonoma 48" Bookcase - 4 shelf

Prepac Maple 4-shelf BookcaseThe wood is quality and easy enough to assemble, looks good. The only negative for me are the shelf brackets which are all plastic and rated 5 lbs per in capacity. I sheared off a couple putting text books in my class and have since been to the hardware store for metal posts (rated at 25 lbs per).

This is one of the worst pieces of furniture I've ever purchased. The materials and construction are subpar at best, and hardly worth $10, much less $100.

There is not one lick of solid wood in the entire package. The veneer would be attractive if it weren't poorly applied and peeling off the back edges of the bookshelf. Most of it is crafted from some kind of pressboard with the mechanical properties of lightly cooked spaghetti. The shelves bow under their own weight (forget about putting books on them!), and this contributes to the predictable failure of the equally awful cheap plastic shelf pegs.

If bumped, the whole bookshelf bends and flexes like a sprig of tall grass, threatening to collapse under its own weight. Even after I added 1x2 wood braces and metal angle brackets in key locations, I'm still somewhat hesitant to use this to store anything of value.

I would caution anyone thinking about buying this bookshelf for, *gasp*, books, to think very carefully before forking over any cash.

CHEAPLY MADE BUT SO WAS THE PRICE. LOOKS OK AND DID NOT FALL DOWN WITH A LOT OF BOOKS. A BIT HARD TO ASSEMBLE.

Many sellers for this bookcase on Amazon, all vary in price and shipping. Generally, the higher the price, the lower the shipping. Got mine from "Tots to Teens" without problem. When you receive it, it is very easy to put together and fairly solid with one glaring exception. The back panel is only wood-colored cardboard. Granted, the back of the cardboard is generally against a wall and the front (where the coloring matches the wood and grain) is partially hidden by shelves and contents, but still a disappointment. And it means being gentle if you ever need to move the bookcase.

I was so tired of looking at bookcases that either was flimsy or the wrong color and then I found this one on line. I am very happy as it is heavy duty and though the moldings were missing got prompt attention to correct that. I will seek them out for anything in that line that I need.
