Prepac Sonoma Black Entryway Cubbie Shelf

Prepac Sonoma Black Entryway Cubbie ShelfWhen we bought our new house, I hadn't realized there was no front hall closet! Uh oh. I had to find a solution, and this shelf, along with a storage bench that matches, did the trick! It is easy to put together and VERY heavy and sturdy. You will need to hang it on studs, and the hangers in the back are the perfect width to do so. The unit sits flush against the wall when properly installed. The hooks are heavy duty, we hang coats, full backpacks, purses, you name it, on them and they have never budged. No wobble at all to this piece! I bought baskets at IKEA to use in the storage areas. It is difficult to find something attractive yet functional enough to use in the entry hall, yet I have gotten several compliments on this. The only downside is the unit is black, so it shows dust easily. But it is so wonderful to have, having to dust it often is no biggie. I HIGHLY recommend getting this!

Love it, love it, love it! It was easy to assemble (by a GIRL =) about an hour) and it's so sturdy! IT looks really nice and I also bought the cubby seat to go with it (that I also assembled and highly recommend!). I am so happy with this purchase and have had numerous compliments from people who see it!

If you're looking for just one product to turn an underutilized area into an efficient mud room, this is it. Sturdy, good looking, and well designed, this one purchase transforms the mess on the floor into a neat, well organized entryway.

I am very disappointed on two fronts: 1) safety 2) quality.

1) safety this unit is heavy and not actually screwed into the wall. There is a wall piece which screws in and then you slide the cabinet over it and it hangs on that piece without actually being screwed to it. I wonder how long this will hold up. I had a pottery barn shelf installed this way and after a year it literally fell off the wall. I do framing and other light construction and this was installed properly it just failed over time. With this shelf being so heavy I would hate to be sitting underneath it if/when it gives way.

2) quality I should have read the description more carefully. It is particle board with a shiny black laminate on top. There are places where the seams are already peeling apart and I just opened the box. It does not look like wood and I think it looks very cheap. There is also a section of the back which is open and when you hang it on the wall most of it is black but there is a 3 1/2 x 44 1/2 gap which is open and therefore whatever your wall color is. Not what I thought the picture hides this very well because of the baskets (not included) and other stuff they have placed on the shelf.

This feels like a walmart product to me. I will try to return it.

No longer are keys floating around the living room or jackets hanging on chairs. This shelf has made our living room more organized and more appealing to look at. I would reccomend buying the shelf with the matching bench. They work well together.

Expanded Shelf System (Natural) (62"H x 80"W x 15"D)

Expanded Shelf SystemI just got the shelves a week ago, but so far I'm very pleased. I'm using them as two separate shelving units one for my clothes and the other for random stuff, including heavy textbooks.

They were easy to set up. Although there were no directions, you just had to put in 16 screws (hex key provided), then the shelves are place securely on the horizontal bamboo supports.

I recently purchased the bamboo book shelf on Amazon.com. It was a fantastic purchase. Even better than I expected. It was well worth the money I spent and I know it will be an excellent addition to my home for years to come.

Sterilite 27-Quart #2310 Stacking 4pc Drawer, 4-Pack

Sterilite 27-Quart #2310 Stacking 4pc Drawer, 4-PackI ordered this Sterilite 4pc drawer set a couple of days ago when the price dropped substantially from over 50 bucks to 30s (only lasted 2 days). BTW, there was a huge price hike in this year if you check the price history at the famous camelcamelcamel site, starting at 22 bucks and shot over 50 in a few months. Yes Uncle Sam has been printing $$, but still not pleasant to have such a pace of inflation. Despite the skyrocketing price, I was astonished to see the level of the quality deterioration happened to the manufacturer, Sterilite, a famous household plastics brand. A few years ago I bought their similar product (now discontinued) drawer model 17068004, which is both aesthetically better looking and much more robust. It's a shame that they've decided to drop the bar of quality control and cut cost so aggressively. Two out of four drawers broke upfront when I opened the package, which is merely a thin cardboard box. Apparently the UPS staff hasn't been handling the package with care but it tells you about how "strong" these plastics are. Even the two unbroken ones look to be so fragile that I can break the corner of white plastic cover by a single hand. Assured that they won't last long, I requested a return immediately. Stay away from this piece of junk and buy something else!

I bought these as an option for the 2 bulky small drawered dressers in my kids room. Stacked them 5 drawers high,by 3 drawers wide. What a DIFFERENCE! They can see EVERYTHING now and the drawers are nice and deep. Now they have a drawer for EVERYTHING, and are TOTALLY organized! Definiteley recommend for kids/teenagers as an AFFORDABLE option to heavy furniture. Plus they can move/interchange with their mood,or needs. I looked ALL over or these drawers! Amazon has THEE BEST price!

These stackable storage drawers were just what I needed. They are a good size, they are modular, they are sturdy (for plastic), and Amazon has a good price. You can see a descriptive video review on my YouTube channel AmazingCollectibles; just search my channel for "Sterilite". Have a great day!

Target Marketing Systems Montego Buffet

TMS Montego Buffet, EspressoI purchased this to do a coffee bar in my dining room (I saw it on Pinterest). I put a wire basket shelf with cup holders above it and it is really cute and handy to have everything together and off my kitchen counters. Buffet was very well made. Easy to put together with just a little reading and basic tool knowledge.

When this arrived, I took it out of the packaging and immediately noticed multiple chips and scrapes in the material. Luckily most of them were on the inside, however a few are on the front door. It's pretty cheap material and the color has a red tint to it...does not look "expresso" to me. I wouldn't recommend this if you are looking for a nice quality Buffet. It gets the job done if you are looking to spend less money.

Received the package just before 3pm this afternoon. After reading all of the reviews here, I first unpacked all the pieces and then reviewed the directions and checked the parts. Both the box and styrofoam are cheap and flimsy, so I was surprised to find that none of the pieces were damaged. All the wood parts are clearly labeled with their part letters. The screws and other various parts are packed together in just a few bags with numerous part-letter stickers on each bag, but as long as you can count and match the parts to the picture chart in the directions it's easy to figure out which parts are which. The directions themselves are more pictures than words, but again, easy to understand. I had this completely built in less than an hour! The only part that I even had to think twice on was the two strips that go across the bottom and middle of the front; they have cams & wood dowels closer to one edge than the other and it matters which edge is up. My only real complaint is the glue on the part-letter stickers they could use something easier to remove!!

Overall, from unpacking to finished product, I am very happy with this buffet!

I had hope for this decently-priced buffet as I was planning on using it for a bar cabinet, and hope continued as it arrived in a relatively-timely manner (given the shipping was free). Too bad I opened the box...

First of all, as soon as I opened the box tiny bits of styrofoam scattered my apartment. Apparently this stuff was supposed to be padding the pieces of my purchase, but I guess having to clean up confetti is expected, right? Now time to inspect the pieces inside the box: so far, no real problem. I get [what I thought was] 1/3 of the way done and realize that some of wood pieces, which are black, had scuff marks all over them (namely, the visible part of the top of the buffet). Deciding to further inspect, I see that every visible piece with any kind of detailing (namely, the doors) has the paint chipped off where the corners join. Lovely, just lovely. Add in 5+ hours of construction time thanks to instructions that make IKEA look like detailed geniuses and you have yourself a fantastic experience.

Never making this mistake again, and you shouldn't either. I could've got something better at a yard sale. /rant

I will start this review with you don't always 'get what you pay for'.....sometimes it's less.

We are professional cabinetmakers, have been for over 30 yrs. If I can include a picture I will, but suffice it to say we design and produce some of the most high-end cabinets and furniture still made in the USA. Sometimes, I just need something that will 'do the trick' for a space in my home, and don't want to have the expense of buying my own product. This was the case hereI just needed a printer stand with storage for a craft area. We have had quite a bit of experience with IKEA pieces and other self assemble pieces with kids going to college, etc. Not to mention (although I already did) we are PROFESSIONALS in this area. Sohere is the review:

The parts showed up in the box well packed and on time. Upon opening the box, I got a good dose of what I call the China stench, just such a chemical-laden bunch of fumes from the box. Hoping this is not what your air is like in China, but it wouldn't surprise me. It did dissipate rather quickly, and unlike a few other Made in China things I have purchased in the past few years, it wasn't something that had to air out on the patio or in the garage for a few days to keep it from killing you. Second impression: There are A LOT of parts. Not to worry, there are instructions and we are professionals :)

This is NOT a piece you could assemble on your own. I'm just sayin'.....this is a 2 person project. 2 people with the patience of Job.

You will need wood gluestandard Elmers type of glue would suffice as well. A #3 Phillips head screwdriver. We also ended up needing our cordless drill, small phillips tips, a clamp and a wrench.

What I found to be the biggest draw-back of this piece was that the machining was sloppy, making the assembly fittings either too snug or too loose, and the fact that the cam-lock assembly fittings were SO CHEAP and such a soft and low grade metal that if you twist it just a little too hard the fitting itself just starts to open up and will not hold the male counterpart to draw the pieces together. Also, where the holes are for the dowels the holes were loose, not so much round as slightly a 'wallered-out oval' so the dowels do not stay perpendicular to the piece they are inserted in. If you are not using some sort of wood glue to help hold them in place, they will fall out when you try to assemble the piece, and the cheapo cam-lock assembly fittings may or may not actually lock onto the male part to hold it together. In the end, the glued dowels are the only real chance you have that this piece will stay together at all.

It took 2 (sometimes 3) of us a full 2 1/2 hours to put this thing together, and at a few points we were really ready to just send it back. For instancethere is a piece that runs horizontally across the back that hold the thing together as well as connects the 2 back pieces together. I'm gonna tell ya right nowjust forget putting in the camlock bolts into this piece and just go with the dowels, b/c the camlock bolts do not line up correctly, and this is where you will need pliers or a wrench to jerk these pieces back out, b/c one you have screwed them in, you cannot reverse that process.

Alsoput the door hinges onto the face frame before you put it on the cabinet, b/c otherwise you have to try to stuff yourself into a little black space to screw them on, and if you are not a contortionist you may find this difficult.

The overall *quality* is about what I expect, however you will never move this piece from one home or apt to another, I would be shocked if it would survive a move. Is it an OK printer stand? Sure. It's going to do what I need it to do. Since they do not give you any indication on how big the bottom opening isit is 8 inches high and the doors are 19 1/4 inch high. I have some baskets that look pretty cute on the bottom area, and there is an adjustable shelf you can put in the section where the doors are.

I have not purchased anything else from this company, and do not plan to. If I did not have space restrictions for the space where I am using this for a printer stand, I probably would have picked something else. Or just given up and sent this back.

For the record, my son solved the "World's Most Difficult Puzzle" in less time. Seriously.

Good Luck!

Rubbermaid 3E28 Configurations 3 Shelf Hanging Unit, Maple

Rubbermaid 3E28 Configurations 3 Shelf Hanging Unit, MapleI ordered two of these to compliment the wire of the configurations system. It went together easily and seems pretty well made for a pressed board item. It looks nice over the two drawer unit and helps add to the finished look of the closet. I use one to hold folded sweaters in the department store display fashion and on the other I have a few personal trinkets just for decorating the closet rather than for storage. The rubbermaid systems have added enough space to my closet that I actually can have a shelf just for decorating. I agree with another reviewer on one of these threads...the closet is one of the first things you see in the morning so why not have a pleasant look when you go in. Now to find an inexpensive full length mirror and the department store displays will have nothing on me :o)

This item was very easy to assemble. I did not even have to look at the directions. I had all the necessary hardware and only needed a screwdriver. The holes are all pre-drilled so assembly was very quick. I hung it on already existing extensions (this does not come with extensions). I have a 7' x 8' room in Afghanistan and this works perfectly for me. I also have the Rubbermaid 2-drawer hanging unit which compliments this shelf unit nicely. It is good for the price.

I bought four of this item so I can complete my walk-in closet. They were delivered promptly and it was very easy to assemble. The only bad side is that it is very fragile, you can't put any heavy stuff over or in it, you cannot exercise too much preasure or the hardboard will break. The other bad side is that I had to buy extensions separetly so I can fis them to the walls...I think it should have been provided in the box... and the sipping of the extension is a ripp off : a single tiny long piece of metal in a very large box that could contain 20 of those pieces... WHY ????? ?????

ClosetMaid Horizontal Laminate Closet Organizer

ClosetMaid 896300 31-Inch Horizontal Laminate Closet Organizer, WhiteMy apartment has a dead space behind the entry door that would be perfect for a shoe rack/entry shelf, but none of the shoe racks I looked at were sturdy enough, or held enough shoes. Enter this ClosetMaid stackable organizer. I found the 24" and 31" version on sale at a local store, and bought 2 of the 24" Alder version. The laminate shelves are easy to put together, with just 4 screws each, and stack nicely one on top of the other. With my small shoe size, I can get 3 pairs of shoes on each shelf, including below the bottom shelf, for 12 pairs of shoes total. In addition to shoes, I've put baskets on the top shelf for keys, scarves, gloves, and other miscellaneous items that always collect by the door. For an idea of the shelf size, see the image I've uploaded above.

Being particle board and laminate, this isn't the most beautiful piece of furniture in the room, but it is still a cute, sturdy shelf for my entry shelf.

I bought one of these, looking to organize a lot of baking supplies within a cabinet. It's quick and easy to build, and... I actually found it for half the price at Home Depot. ;)

Funny that the box makes no mention that the laminate coating is only on one side. The box does say stackable, but I doubt that from two points of view.

1) the shelves are as thin as a whole wheat cracker with a similar appearance. They are in fact 1/2" thick but that is not adequate for the span. These shelves will sag under any pressure.

2) the shelves are not laminated on both sides, so if you stack more than two of them together, your friends will think you're a cheap moron when they see it.

If you're going to use ONE of these for light shoes, it's okay.

Total disclosure: I bought this at Lowe's and returned it right after I opened it. I needed to make a set of shelves 5 feet high exactly this width -fast -so I bought this. But fast and long-lasting rarely go together. This product is another example of that. Shame on ClosetMaid for at least not disclosing the one-sided laminate on the box!

I bought the larger ones many years back to solve the issue of my shoes taking over my closet I think my shoes multiply when I am sleeping. : )

They lasted – and still look great after all these years. This time around I bought the shorter ones this way between the larger ones and these smaller ones side by side in my closet I still had room in my closet for a section for my dresses to hang down to the floor too. Plus all my shoes are pretty tidy at this point too.

Pretty easy to put together although you have to use a bit of muscle to get the screws in tight with a manual scredriver. They also have a bit of weight to them as well – which I think is a good thing. My older ones have never sagged and the particle board is quite thick and sturdy. (One guy's review said he was disappointed when it broke when his friend sat on it and another review warned not to let your children stand or play on these... I have no idea what some people are using these for but they are MADE FOR STORAGE OF YOUR SHOES!?!?!? Oh and another reviewer also exclaimed surprise that the box did not include a hammer and screwdriver – seriously? I guess his butler must have been off that day. : )

Some reviews here complain that the back of the finished product is not actually finished just pressed board showing. I don't understand this complaint at all. If you have them in the closet against the wall you can not see the backs at all. Even if you have them out in an open room I would assume they will still be against a wall so what is the problem?

The only problem I have – as being a woman with high heels as well as flats – most heeled shoes – especially higher ones will not fit in the slots. Flats, sneakers, most sandals – great. Even for lower heals or maybe higher heels but in a sling back style or something – again no issue. For the higher heeled sturdier shoe – they just won't fit.

I wish they would make one "for the women" – it would be very helpful. Seriously – one that may be a bit higher just for the women would be GREAT! For now – my highest heels either sit on the closet floor next to the shelves – or I put them on the top of the units once stacked.

Still a great product. And it is very helpful that they offer different widths as well – and different color finishes!

I ordered the shelf shoe organizer since I had room at the bottom of the closet under clothes that wasn't being used. Shoes were lined up but always getting moved around. This product solved the problem. I actually ordered another of a larger size for under my husband's clothes. The organizer was easy to assemble, is very sturdy, looks nice and keeps the shoes together and the closet looking neat. Plus, you cannot beat the price.

Akro-Mils 30240 Plastic Storage Stacking Hanging Akro Bin, 15-Inch by 8-Inch by 7-Inch, Red, Case o

Akro-Mils 30240 Plastic Storage Stacking Hanging Akro Bin, 15-Inch by 8-Inch by 7-Inch, Red, Case of 12Very good storage bins. Have purchased these in the past and and very satisfied with them again. This is the best brand to buy for stackable bins.

I use these to keep supplies handy. I wish they had a snap together feature so I they can be moved as a unit once put together. I'll have to strap them or tape them up to do this. Good thing I did some additional research on these and got the dimension I needed—the floor length. If I went with the basic dimensions, the supplies I have wouldn't sit nicely inside because they would be longer than the floor length.

I've got one of the blue bins, it looks great just like the picture. It feels really tough, rugged, and no weak points. As I said, a great bin but I only got one, the problem is the description says 12. One bin is kinda useless, and a pretty rotten deal. I don't know how well these bins stack, but the one I do have is pretty secure on the floor right now.

I'm working with Amazon and Shoplet to see if this problem can be worked out.

End result, "oops" (aka "unit of measure issue"). They are giving me a refund.

I originally understandably rated this at one star .. since they straightened it out I'm give it three stars.

Whitmor 6060-3510 Chrome Supreme 50 Pair Shoe Rack

Whitmor 6060-3510 Chrome Supreme 50 Pair Shoe RackWhen it came time to replace my small 20-shoe organizer, I needed something sturdy. Specifically, I hated organizers where the horizontal bars were simply plugged into the vertical on either side because as the rack fills up with shoes, the weight causes the horizantal bars to sag and come off on either end sending all your shoes down into a pile!

This chrome shoe tower by Whitmore was the answer! Everything is metallic and you securely screw down the horizontal bars on either side to the vertical bars. At the bottom, it has wheels to help you move around. An added bonus is that the horizontal bars where your shoes rest, have a somewhat rough surface to increase friction, thus, your shoes stay in place!

I love it. Not a single complaint. Oh yeah, and it holds a ton of shoes too!

This rack was very easy to put together, and with a electric screwdriver it was quick. It's very sturdy and the casters (which you don't have to use) make it just glide over the floor. When you want to park it simply apply the caster's brakes. It really does hold 50 pairs of shoes. I was able to easily get 5 pairs on each of the 10 shelves. Also, this exact same rack sells at another store for $20.00 more. I'm so glad I checked on Amazon before buying it there, and it arrived much quicker than quoted in the shipping terms. Its so nice to get a high quality product and not feel cheated. Recommendation: BUY IT!

Im so happy I got this stand. Its so much better then the plastic 50 pair shoe rack that I had before which fell apart after 3 months. This needed no extra tape, is easy to put up, and I can put heavy shoes and boots on it. And I love the wheels!

Read Best Reviews of Whitmor 6060-3510 Chrome Supreme 50 Pair Shoe Rack Here

The spacing between racks is too small. A lot of my shoes are basketball sneakers with mid and high cuts. These don't fit well and end up interfering with the rack above them. I uploaded a picture that shows this. Shoes of this type either need to be placed on the top rack or you can skip racks, which reduces the overall storage capacity. For low cut shoes however, the rack works well. The quality seems good and assembly was simple and quick. I just wish there was more space between racks.

Want Whitmor 6060-3510 Chrome Supreme 50 Pair Shoe Rack Discount?

It does hold lots of shoes and it is sturdy. (Especially if comparing to the ones with the plastic sides that deform and drop all the shoes). My only complaint was that when it arrived it had to of the welds broken on the support pieces for the rods. These broken welds were at 2 different supports.

I'm unsure if this is due to poor manufacture or shipping damage as it was packed in a box that was 4 times to tall for this product and wasn't properly padded to fill up the extra space.

I'm not going to return the product. I'll just rough up the surface where the broken welds occurred and use some JB weld. While it won't look as good as knew it will function and probably be stronger at those 2 points than the original welds.

It's kind of nice to be able to wheel this rack out of the way if you need too. It also holds lots of shoes. I wasn't expecting it to deal as well as it did with all the work boots I put on it too.

So, it would have gotten 4 stars but had to deduct a star for me having to do a repair on a new item.

South Shore Step One Collection TV Stand

South Shore Step One TV Stand, Pure BlackSuffered through the horrible 100+ degrees of Louisiana summer and now see the light of day that fall is soon to arrive. Fall ALWAYS makes me want to redecorate but sometimes the lack of money makes it impossible. So, I browsed many sites for reasonable priced furniture for guest rooms that grandaughter and grandson will use when here for holidays. I stumbled across the South Shore furniture and was quite skeptical. I had to convince myself that for that little bit of money, I was getting a semi-quality product and one that was not a horrible experience to put together. Well, let me tell you, I ordered 5 pieces and so far have put together 3, one of which was the South Shore Step One Collection TV Stand in chocolate. Oh my.....what a gorgeous piece of furniture!!!! and easy, easy, easy to put together. I then put together the two other pieces and am in heaven because this furniture is fantastic. I had read reviews from others, some good, some bad. I am fully onboard with the positive side of this company and this particular collection. If you have needs similar to mine and are trying to remodel without breaking the bank DO NOT HESITATE to purchase this furniture. Add to the mix that purchasing from Amazon is a win-win situation, especially with PRIME, and you have a recipe for success!!

Overall, I like this product. It supports my 100 pound tv with ease, and seems like a sturdy piece of furniture. Item arrived 5 days after ordering, as was delivered to my front door, even living on the 2nd floor. The 3 stars rating was given for 2 reasons. First, when I took out all the pieces, one of the shelves was cracked. It is a noticeable crack, but not worth sending back such a massive package over. Second, the assembly instructions were about a 9th generation copy, and the diagrams were impossible to read. To top it off, not all the pieces were labeled, so this tv stand took me over 3 hours to put together, when with proper instructions, it should have only taken me 1/2 that long. Overall, the piece looks pretty good, especially for the money.

I ordered this stand just to have an inexpensive stand for my new TV. Other than one whole page of the instructions being blank (as though the ink had faded) and the fact that there was no tracking on the shipping I have no major complaints. One thing that I was disappointed in but is not the manufacturer's fault is that the spaces directly below the TV are too small to fit my current DVD player. However, overall I have been very pleased with my purchase. I love the modern look and it definitely looks more expensive than what I paid for it. Iit was also fairly easy to put together even with one page of instructions missing. I would definitely purchase this stand again as well as recommend it to a friend any time.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. The packaging that it was shipped in was adequate and there was no damage when I opened it. What you see is what you get, it does look like it does in the picture and as some reviewers said, the parts arent labeled that great, but its not a complete disaster. The instructions say that it requires 2people to put it together. I am a single mommie that lives alone so that was not an option for me. I was worried that I would have to wait for someone to come by and help me but I did manage to put it together alone. It did take me quite some time to put it together, but I got the job done. I am terrible when it comes to putting things together, so if I can do it, anyone can do it... just be prepared to be patient.

I ordered this TV stand and when it arrived, it was damaged. I went to the South Shore website and ordered pieces for the damaged ones. Again, one of the pieces that came in the second batch was damaged. This company REALLY needs to package their items better. I've not had a chance to put it together yet, but hopefully, it will be alright. I don't feel like sending off for yet ANOTHER piece that may or may not come to me damaged. Buyer beware.
