Rubbermaid 1780729 Pantry Organization Corner Helper Shelf

Rubbermaid 1780729 Pantry Organization Corner Helper ShelfFirst the dimensions which, annoyingly, are not provided by Amazon: W 10.25" D 10.25" H 7" under shelf clearance 6".

This unit is not very thoughtfully designed. If you are using it in below-the-counter cabinets there should be no problem, but in the narrower, above-the-counter cabinets you are likely to run into a problem. Either one of the vertical supports interferes with a hinge, or if you are using it on a removable shelf, then the required screws will be close to the shelf edge and prone to brake out.

In the case of the former, I was able to get around this by unscrewing the lower hinge allowing me to fit the shelf vertical support behind the hinge. However this created a second problem: the shelf feet faced the wrong way and interfered, preventing the shelf from being mounted against the wall. This is essentially the same problem you encounter on a removable shelf. I solved this by breaking the feet loose, reversing them, and crimping them in place. (Incidentally, in every installation you will need to anchor the feet with screws to secure the shelf and keep it from tipping as weight is added to it. These screws are required but not included; a further example of product sloppiness. Once anchored the shelf is sturdy enough to support any load you are likely to place on it.)

In the end the modified shelves worked well. They have greater storage room below the shelf then with most similar cabinet shelves and there was no fourth vertical member to get in the way as with most units. I am satisfied, but more thought put into the design could have made installation much easier and elevated the problems I faced. Also I would have preferred an option for white.

It is a good space saver and I am pleased with this purchase. Only thing I would change is if it was a little bigger,

Chrome-Plated Steel Closet Shelf Dividers, set of 4

Chrome-Plated Steel Closet Shelf Dividers, set of 4Giving these shelf dividers three stars mostly because they were cheap. I ordered two sets, so that's 8 dividers in total. Two of them are fine -fit the shelf well and do their job fine. The others are either "loose" in the clamp that goes around the shelf, or worse, don't stand up straight because of the shoddy manufacturing.

My shelves are kind of thin, so I found a workaround by putting wood shims underneath. Not a perfect solution, but works okay. And you might not have this problem if you have thicker shelves.

The problem with the dividers leaning at a noticeable tilt (say, at 80 degrees instead of 90 degrees), though, is pretty annoying.

I bought these to organize my closet and they work well fit shelves 12" deep or so but they all lean slightly and are not perpendicular to the shelf at all.

on the flimsy side but it works. i have it installed on shelves that are about 1/2" thick and 24" wide. they don't grip the shelf tightly so they tend to not keep its position when you bump into them. otherwise, they work as marketed...

CRL Black Designer Aluminum Glass Shelf Bracket - 3/8"-1/2" Glass - Package

CRL Black Designer Aluminum Glass Shelf Bracket - 3/8'-1/2' Glass - PackageThese look very nice and hold their rated load (mine are in the wood studs not just anchors). Do recommend purchasing better screws as the provided ones are a bit on the cheap side. Overall very pleased with the product, also not a bad price. Purchased two sets to mirror the shelves in our living room.

The brackets were easy to install.They hold the glass securely. They are very attractive and work well in my bathroom. Good value for the price.

Rev-A-Shelf 565-8-52 Wall 8" Door Mount Spice Rack - Wire-White

Rev-A-Shelf 565-8-52 Wall 8' Door Mount Spice Rack - Wire-WhiteThe Rev-A-Shelf spice rack is functional. It has four shelves, the bottom one wider than the other three, and it was easy to install. A word of caution, however. I ordered it to place in the door of a wall mounted cabinet, and when looking at it I felt certain it would fit between the shelves with little problem. But when I was visualizing that fit, I failed to consider how it would be with spices in it. The cabinet shelves came too close to the cabinet door and there wasn't enough room for the spice rack when it was full. A floor corner cabinet ended up working out great as the cabinet shelves were further back from the door. Shipping was timely.

We had a fairly narrow cabinet that all of our spices were just thrown into. We already owned all the spice jars, so we did not need or want the racks that are usually out there that come with pre-labeled bottles. The mounted to the door easily enough and does it's job of holding jars of spices. As with any after-market product, getting it to line up perfectly with the shelves in the cabinet so that the jars fit on and don't keep the cabinet from closing by banging into the shelves is a challenge. Some of the jars can't be used on this because they are too tall and there's no way to fit them in between the shelf openings.

It wasn't easy to find a behind-the-door spice rack that fits behind my old kitchen cabinet doors. This one does, and fits all my spices. Altogether, a very convenient, space-saving product. Once loaded though, it gets quite heavy, so take care during installation. Works best on thick kitchen cabinet doors.

Winsome Terrace 5-Piece Storage Shelf/Bookcase, 26 by 11.8 by 30-Inch

Winsome Terrace 5-Piece Storage Shelf/Bookcase, 26 by 11.8 by 30-InchWhen I saw this piece, it was what I imagined I wanted for my bathroom. It arrived quickly, and when it was assembled the construction was great. I was a skeptical of the collapsible baskets, but they are sturdy and look great. Also, they are a great match to the floating shelves I bought from Bed Bath & Beyond. Very happy with this purchase.

Very pretty and matches our bathroom cabinets perfectly. We needed an extra bit of storage and this is the perfect solution. Easy to assemble (my kids put it together.)

Sefour RS300 500 LP Vinyl Storage Unit Tobacco Walnut

Sefour RS300 500 LP Vinyl Storage Unit Tobacco Walnut
  • Shelves hold up to 500 records Curved profiling for easy access to records Can be used to complement X30 DJ Console (SKU# 501012)

The description notes a 500 album capacity. They must have removed all the jackets to squeeze 500 albums in that space. While it appears to be sturdy, the outside finish is one of the most unappealing of any product I have ever purchased. Oh, I was able to fit 416 records in that rack.

I would not purchase this product from this company again. From a distance, it looks nice, but there are a lot of ugly small defects that are noticeable within a few feet. There was a bump on the front edge of a panel, and there were multiple places where the veneer had been patched with a sloppy, un-matching piece.

Without these defects, the piece has a nice shape and is sturdy, and I would have given it four stars. But I don't care to pay >$150 for a piece of furniture with patches of veneer stuck all over the sides. That's the kind of thing I'd expect to see from a used piece in a yard sale, not a new piece directly from the company.

the storage unit arrived in good condition from the seller, musician's friend. all of the pieces were included. the instructions are a little vague but if you have any common sense you should be able to put it together in about 20 minutes. it is sturdy and solid. the only thing i don't like about it is that your record collection will be sitting on two bars that go across and serve as shelves. i ended up taking a piece lumber that was 1/2 inch thick and 14 inches wide and cutting it to place on top of the bars to serve as shelves. if you don't own a circular saw you can by from a major hardware store (i.e. home depot or lowes) and they'll cut the wood for you.

i would rate this five stars if it had solid shelves instead of two metal bars.

This thing is ugly but it's what I expected from the product photo (I bought the walnut/brown model). However, the veneer is poorly applied and shows all kinds of defects (bubbling and peeling). It also holds fewer than 500 albums maybe more like 475.

The assembly is easy but would have been a lot easier if the instructions were written with slightly more care. A few more words of text and a couple of marks on the diagram would have made a LOT of difference.

I'm giving it 3 stars because it's hard to find LP storage products and this is very good, functionally speaking. But don't buy this if you care how it looks because returning it would be a nightmare due to its weight.

Pros:

Decent Price

Capacity of each unit is about 450

Larger base than top is great for stability

Small footprint

Cons:

LOUSY instructions

Despite being double boxed, one of our side panels came with a big crack that went almost all the way through the thickness of the panel. It didn't look like it was going to affect the stability of the unit, so my husband opted not to return it.

The plastic covering the pins is very easy to rip off so you must be delicate with construction

The finish looks like cheap veneer. It's too bad more people don't collect vinyl or I suspect there would be much better options for the price. I don't think it would be that much more expensive to offer a cabinet just like this made out of wood rather than plastic and particle board.

Lynk Professional-Inch Roll-Out Chrome Cabinet Drawer

Lynk Professional 20 by 21 by 4-Inch Roll-Out Chrome Cabinet DrawerI bought some like these from Lowe's for roughly the same price price. But, they didn't offer drawers to fit shelves this deep. So, I bought these. The only problem that I have with these is that they don't extend 100% as the ones from Lowe's do. They extend about 50%. It's good enough to keep, but barely. If you can find some that pull out further, I'd recommend those.

I am satisfied with the build quality. I suspect installation is as easy as any shelf. I think it took about 30 minutes per shelf. Any shelf system like this is going to require awkward positions inside the cabinets.

There's a trade off though with this type of roll out solution. You lose some shelf space both vertically as well as horizontally. In the end though, I think the trade off is worth it because even though the total cubic feet are reduced, you gain "usable" area.

This drawer is very well made and slides easily. However, the stated height of 4" is misleading. In fact, the top rail of the drawer is really 4-3/8" above the shelf it's installed on. That may make no difference for most uses, but I bought this for my sink cabinet and the extra 3/8" makes the rack hit the drain pipe, thus making the drawer impossible to use. Disappointing, since it's exactly what I needed.

PRO: I FOUND THIS PRODUCT TO OF HIGH QUALITY AND VERY EASY TO INSTALL

CON: THE DRAWER ONLY COMES OUT ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY, NOT FULL EXTENTION

I received my Link Professional 14 by 21 by 4-inch Roll out Chrome Cabinet Drawer on Friday and installed it on Saturday by myself. I am a 64 year old Grandma and not particularly handy, especially when deep inside a base cabinet. However, this installation went very smoothly and the drawer is extremely sturdy. I decided to put my heavy pyrexware pieces on it because they are so heavy to shift around when stacking. With this I can use the entire shelf space and get to them easily.

Now I want to get more so I can organize all my base cabinets. Buy these, you can't go wrong for ease of installation, strength and full usage of the shelf space.

This was fairly easy to install with hand tools (and I'm a "little old lady"): a Phillips screwdriver, plus a hammer and nail to make starter holes for the four wood screws. The instructions were clear and simple. The included alignment guide made measuring unnecessary and was very helpful. The shelf glides easily and pulls out as far as I would want. When the drawer is fully extended, items in the back of the drawer end up at the front edge of the cabinet, where they would be if stored in the cabinet front. You do lose a bit of height; one tall carton had to move to another cabinet. Extra screws were included; to me that's a sign of a good product.

Entertainment Center Wall System - Cinnamon Cherry Finish

Entertainment Center Wall System - Cinnamon Cherry FinishLike a previous reviewer said it is very time consuming with all the pieces and yes it's not as heavy as 300 lbs, but it's still quite heavy. It is laminate and it is very dark. If you're looking for something like this in black, it's not very far off. It's customizable with other pieces I found and it's very easy to move once set up. I wish the hole in the back was larger but that can be worked with. With help, I had no problem setting it up, it just requires time and a couple of screwdrivers. And by the way, if you can't lift 120 lbs by yourself, get it delivered. Don't pick it up at the local fed ex. I had to drag it up stairs with another person. I could easily see someone without that help being left with no way to move it. For what it is, it looks good and it has a mount on the back to anchor it to the wall if you need to. It has a very nice, modern look to it.

I just recently bought this unit 2 weeks ago. Extremely durable for how light it is. The side and top panel are made of a very light solid wood but is durable because they are about 2 & 1/2 inches thick so it really adds the stability to the lighter weight. Thanks again IKEA......

The price before shipping is reasonable. The unit was quite a few pieces so a little stressful getting it assembled but once done it for nicely. We have a baby who's now crawling so I strongly urge parents to consider finding an anchored entertainment center or an anchoring system for this one as it isn't super stable if pulled on by little ones

For the price I would rather shovel out another $100 and get a piece of furniture with some real wood in it. For those that said it was easy to put together, yes it was but you have to make sure you have exactly the right side pieces count those holes because they look identical but they aren't, and once you put a screw in and take it out you'll have particle board showing which makes it look cheap. Also there was a random hole cutout on the very top which was strange, I can't imagine putting the DVD player or Cable box on the top with cords handing down the back exposed, but I think that's the only option. It takes a very long time to put together. It's not a solid piece of furniture by any means, we thought it looked way too cheap for our living room so we decided to hide it in the bedroom because I couldn't get any friends to take it off our hands, they weren't impressed either. With both of us picking it up to move it, not dragging it at all, the screws popped out of one side & more finish was broken off, revealing the particle board. I took it in the hallway and karate chopped it to pieces & threw it in the dumpster. I didn't even have to unscrew most of the large pieces they just pulled apart. The side shelves were narrow & tall & spaced far apart it would have looked funny putting books on them or a single frame or a large vase, and you can see the particle board and other hardware from the front which was cheap looking to me. Wasn't worth the time or the money at all. However, it did show up in a timely manner & had all the pieces, although some corners had been banged up from shipping which also meant those pieces had a lack of finish or particle board showing.

This is a nice entertainment center but it is particle board with a laminate cherry colored finish (very dark). Product details says shipping weight is 300lbs. The EC weighs approx 80lbs. Very time consuming to put together with alot of pieces. Looks pretty good when its done but I would rather not have the laminate finish. I would have sent it back if it was for the main living room but I am putting this in a bedroom.

Honey-Can-Do CRT-01451 Heavy Duty Rolling Utility Cart, Chrome Wire, 3-Tier

Honey-Can-Do CRT-01451 Heavy Duty Rolling Utility Cart, Chrome Wire, 3-TierWe are using this cart in the county law library and it's great. It was really easy to put together and adjust. For our needs I put the shelf on the bottom and the bins in the middle and the top. It's big enough to hold a lot of books, but with the 4 wheel steering you can turn it around in the middle of the cramped aisles! I would definately recommend this product!

This is a great item. It was easy to put together, sturdy and the wide wheels allow for easy movement. The two baskets, along with the handle, are adjustable. I have the lower basket at the lowest point and the upper one about a third the way down. This works out great for moving grocery/purchases from our car to our small home elevator, our garage is under our home about 17 feet off the ground. The bottom basket can hold large items (24 rolls of toilet paper, 8 rolls of papertowels (both sideways) with room for a gallon of milk and other items along the side. The upper basket is low enough to place other bagged items. The top shelf is the perfect size for a 'Costco fruit box' loaded with goodies. I am more than pleased with this item and would certainly recommend it to anyone. I am waiting for my husband to decide he wants one for his auto tools, to move easily to our vehicles. This item was just PERFECT in every way.

When this arrive my husband said a piece of junk from China.

We were both surprise. Made in USA. Excellent quality ! Will still be going strong in 20 years.

Easy to put togather, should be call "Hubby, I can do it by myself."

I'm using it without the handles and wheels.

It deserves more than 5 stars.

I was so excited about this purchase. I am a mobility-challenged homemaker and I planned to use this cart as a baking center that I could use while seated. It arrived via Fed Ex in only one day. A GREAT thing. It comes with the cart box double packed in an Amazon box. Great packaging! My husband went right to work putting it together. My hubby is very handy with assembling things like this and we were very impressed with the sturdy weight and quality of the pieces in the box. All was going pretty well until he arrived at the 2nd (center) shelf. If you look closely at the shelves, you will notice that there is a decorative rim welded to the top of each basket and the top shelf. On the corners of these rims are round cylinder-type pieces that go on the leg posts. What you might not be able to tell from the picture is that these round pieces are slightly tapered and the small part of the taper is on top. Well, it SHOULD be on top. On one of our deep-sided shelves, the rim was welded on upside down. This made it impossible to keep the shelf in place if heavy objects were placed on it. Today I called the Honey Can Do Company in Illinois. I spoke to a woman whose job should not be answering phones. I explained the situation and had to keep asking if she was there...as I spoke she made no indication she was hearing me or had any understanding of what I was saying to her. Just dead silence! Finally she asked me for my phone number and then my address and then said "it" should come in 7-14 business days. I asked if they could do overnight delivery...after all, it was their error and I'm the one stuck with a partially assembled cart. She curtly answered, "7 to 14 business days." I felt like I was talking to a robot except a robot might have been more expressive. So we wait. I think this will be an excellent product once it is assembled and I still look forward to using it with my baking supplies and electric mixer all in one place. I'll update when I've had a chance to put it to use.

September 4 The replacement shelf FINALLY arrived today. It was shipped in a box that was easily 3 or 4 times the height of the deep wire shelf and with absolutely NO packing material around it. Consequently the shelf bounced and rattled its way to my home. When it arrived, the box was greatly damaged where the shelf had torn through it and some of the wire sides were dented in. NO WAY were we calling to request another one. My husband was able to bend the damaged parts back into shape and finally my cart is together. It really is a nice cart but this company is the pits. Obviously they take no pride in the way they handle customer service...either over the phone or in the shipment of replacement products. We now refer to them as the "Honey Boo Boo Company". It's a good thing they have Amazon to do their shipping for them and to *try* to make them look good. Since their actions invite negative feedback, I will comply. I still do, however, look forward to putting this product to use in spite of their shoddy behavior.

I love the cart, it's perfect for some extra storage in my kitchen, looks nice, and it's very sturdy. Just a hint, I was having trouble with the black pieces that connect to support the trays. I couldn't get them to stay together, some did and some didn't. Nothing in the instructions addressed my issue. So I gave up and when a friend came over she noticed that the inside of the black pieces were marked and you had to find the two matching pieces to snap together. When you did that they clicked together very easily and did what they were supposed to do. I know I am a dolt when it comes to anything remotely mechanical. So for anyone with a similar affliction, there's your answer!
