Disappointed in the shoddy workmanship. The middle & smallest table tops look like a child sanded & finished them. Which unfortunately could be possible considering they were made in Thailand.Read Best Reviews of Winsome Parker Nesting Table, 3-Piece Here
I bought these tables for my family room. We have a large sectional couch which takes up a lot of room and I wanted tables that could be used and put away. They are very well made and very attractive looking. They stack perfectly! My son uses them to build Leogs on and we all use them for snack tables.Judging from the picture, I thought these tables would be perfect for my small livingroom. They are so poorly engineered that it was nearly impossible to get them assembled. Although the finish is very thin, a can of spray paint corrected this problem. The price is super, and I really enjoy the convenience of 3 different sizes.Sunday, May 25, 2014

Beautiful shelf, but was too difficult for me to install. I ended up getting something else easier. Called for tools I do not have and required you install on a stud. Would be a lovely shelf for more handy folks.Read Best Reviews of Gatco 4246 Latitude II Glass Shelf, Chrome Here
Got five pieces from this collection to furnish a new bathroom. Looks very high-end for the price. Sturdy & well finished. Worth getting. Take good measurements because returns are cumbersome & expensive. I just kept extra pieces 'cuz it cost too much to return.Install worked like a charm, and it's quite a handsome shelf. It's a little small especially the depth, but it holds a few small items well enough.Wednesday, May 14, 2014

Wish it was a little taller, but this is a great sturdy cabinet. This cabinet is perfect for what I needed it for. I think it should have been a little cheaper for the size.Read Best Reviews of Sauder Beginnings Storage Cabinet - Soft White Here
I've purchased a few cabinet items somewhat similar to this.Based on that experience, this product is above average in terms of:
* all parts present
* no objectionable damage
* easy to assemble
* free shipping
Particle board can be particularly vulnerable to rough handling in shipping. This one made it 99% intact.

this cabinet is not of the best quality wood but a good buy for the price. It was free (super saver) shipping and arrived quickly. (It was delivered before the estimated delivery date!) Also it was very easy to assemble. its not very big, about 5ft tall and 2 ft wide but its extra storage that I needed. :)Thursday, April 24, 2014

Sauder Edge Water Library with Doors
If your looking for a heavy duty desk and bookcase for years of service, pass up on this one.
Buy Sauder Edge Water Library with Doors Now
If you're looking for an inexpensive but solid-looking piece of furniture, this is it. I didn't have any problems with the hardware or the quality of the piece-the back is the wood-grain cardboardy material that all Sauder bookcases have, but it's not cheap looking once it's on. The doors hang well and open and close just fine, and the "estate black" color (a very very dark brown) looks good. I could wish that the bookshelf-hanging holes were a bit less obvious, and that the shelves had some other ledge or niche to keep them from sliding forward in case the shelf tips, but it's a very nice piece for the price.Read Best Reviews of Sauder Edge Water Library with Doors Here
Great buy, looks like you spend alot more. Also bought the matching desk, and it makes a great office roomI was shocked at the poor quality of this product. The side panels had crushed corners. I asked for a replacement and that arrived CRACKED IN HALF. I decided to put the bookcase together with the crushed corners as it was the holidays and I could not continue to store all the pieces unassembled. One of the shelves was also damaged, scratches and chips everywhere. My floor looked like it was covered with sawdust from all the pressed board falling from the corners and the shelves. Two of their prioritary fasteners cracked and where unuseable. Poorly written instructions. Not at all sturdy. This is a whole bunch of junk!!!Saturday, April 5, 2014
Prepac Floating Wall Double Media Storage
There are some problems in in the details, but the price is not high end, so take it for what it is worth.
This is one of the few choices avaiable for a shelfing unit.
Pros:
1. Decent appearance
2. Solid (with glue added)
3. Easy wall mounting (screws not provided)
4. Pleanty of shelves included ( I have mine holding 3 rows of DVDs and one short shelf and still have 2 unuued shelf boards.
Cons:
1. Mine has a slight crease in the back board (not a huge problem but it is there)
2. Having the shelves bare on the bottom is just plain poor design for an item made to hang on a wall. Keeping the shelves tight to the size of the DVD/CD cases helps, or a black little paint would fix it.
3. Screw covers do not stay in place and edges are not large enough to completely cover the silver color of the screws.
4. The framing hides the fist DVD case on each shelf on the outer edge (not huge but just a poor detail design).
5. Use glue during assembly (will be much more solid in the long run)
6. Slightly overpriced for what it is, but it weighs 38 lbs to ship.
7. Would have ben nice if it was slightly taller, just a few inches short of being able to make all shelves able to hold DVDsThis is a complete kit. Everything you need will be in the carton, but there are no labels on the parts. You need to carefully identify all the pieces before you begin. The instructions could be a lot clearer, but after putting it together & taking it apart at least twice, I feel comfortable in saying that it should take less than a half hour. The finished product is beautiful and I would recommend this to anyone needing a high class wall mounted CD/DVD storage unit.

I bought 2 units one for my multimedia and one for a book shelf which are mounted on each side of my 52 inch flat panel. Sturdy and not cheap looking. Although a little expensive you get what you pay for.Read Best Reviews of Prepac Floating Wall Double Media Storage Here
It's very simple to assemble. It probably took 15 minutes on the dining room floor. A few parts were too tight, but I was able to remedy the problem with a sharp utility knife. I haven't fully loaded the shelves with DVD's and CD's, but it looks like it should function as advertised.There isn't any "real" wood in the construction; this shelf won't be appearing on the Antiques Road Show in 100 years...
Want Prepac Floating Wall Double Media Storage Discount?
No, it's not "real wood", but I didn't expect real wood given the price. Assembly was a bit frustrating in that nothing is marked although there aren't a zillion parts, it would have been a quicker assembly had "this side front, this side back" or similar been included as I found myself unassembling and reassembling a few times. Also, the "backer" (back panels) are to be overlapped, something that's not clear on the instructions and I learned only after realizing there was no other way it would work. Excellent packaging, no chips or nicks, nothing broken (although I was missing one "confirmat screw", not a big deal (the instructions include a date code, telephone number and an email address, the latter of which I used to secure the missing screw). Screws to attach the unit to the wall are not included and the part that attaches to the wall (the unit sort of "hangs" from the "bar" you attach to the wall) does not include predrilled holes this wasn't a problem for me as I have drill and had spare wood screws on hand, but may be helpful for some to know ahead of time when deciding to whether or not to make this purchase.The shelves use metal dowels, a bonus over the "cheapie/flimsy" plastic dowels one often sees in bookcases and such. Overall, to have DVDs, CDs, and so on all in one location and NOT strewn about the floor or tables or here and there, 5 stars unto itself. No regrets.

Home Source Industries EH 7030 Rolling TV Stand, Beech
I needed something tall so that my cable box and dvd player would be visible above a certain range. This stand looked perfect, as Amazon has it listed at 24" in height. However, when the package arrived, it noted that the stand is only 21". This actually renders the second shelf useless in my case. And there are a lot of other stands out there that I could have considered in the 18"-20" range.
Returning an item like this is more or less impossible, as disassembling and trying to repack it in the small container it was shipped in would take more time and effort than it's worth.This tv stand is attractive,gets the job done,and is inexpensive to boot.The big advantage is its being on wheels allowing easy changing of position.With my tape measure it is 22 inches high and 30 inches across,so it would not be suitable for very large tv sets or for those who have a special need for a higher elevation.I had no trouble fitting my 17 inch cable box on the shelf,but anything wider than that would not fit.

The stand is wonderful. I purchased it for my bedroom and watching/using the tv from bed. The height is perfect and the shelves are helpful. My only fuss is the slots are to small for dvd's or video game cases. In order to fit anything in I had to remove all of the slots and just use a blank area to stack them. But I still think it's perfect for a bedroom tv stand.Read Best Reviews of Home Source Industries EH 7030 Rolling TV Stand, Beech Here
The cart is the right size for a 26-32 inch flat screen. Easy to assemble, attractive, and seems durable. The CD slots were useless for my application. Purhaps in the future they will upgrade the slots to fit DVD packaging.Want Home Source Industries EH 7030 Rolling TV Stand, Beech Discount?
One corner of the box was crushed so the corners of TV stand pieces were also damaged. Son, anxious to have TV stand, didn't care and put together anyway...... backwards! Guess he didn't realize it was made for use in corners. Directions (pictures only) were not easy for him (21 year old) to follow. It actually doesn't look bad with the cut corners at the front. In spite of being misbuilt, it is a sturdy TV stand and will serve it's purpose for use in the basement TV room. The useless plastic holders were purposefully left out. What I don't understand is why it was designed with CD size holders and not DVD or game case size! Fits game systems without any problem. Games were stacked in side openings where the plastic holders were supposed to be inserted.Sunday, March 16, 2014

Most of these products are great but I just wanted a SINGLE teacup and saucer holder. Why do all these companies try to get greedy and make it so you have to buy at least 3 or 5 or 6 of them. They do that just so they can make that extra money off you! And then on top of that, the shipping costs more than the item itself! They just lost my business......forever.Friday, January 31, 2014
Convenience Concepts Go-Accsense 3-Shelf Bookcase
The actual review: As stated, assembly is simple just twist the metal poles. Once assembled this bookshelf bears a strong weight to it making it very sturdy, even on my carpet. But it's not too heavy at all, just perfect. I have a laser printer that sits on the very top of the shelf with random books like my dictionary, thesaurus, french dictionary, etc. The second shelf is completely filled with an assortment of literature. Heavy hardcover books and softcover books all packed in together. I have the largest hardcover books on each end of the shelf pressed against the metal pole to act as a wall-in for the rest of the books and this works great. On the bottom shelf I have around 20 medium sized books along with several heavy textbooks. On my count the first and second shelf holds: 60 books, many being very large textbooks and hardcover books, while many are ~3-400 page softcover books. I'm quite amazed a bookshelf for this price can hold all my different books, printer, and still have room for more stuff! If functionality is your motivating factor, you will not regret purchasing this whatsoever. The glass is 8mm thick and can probably hold way more than I have on it. If you're big on appearances, this is extremely high quality and the glass/metal combo look great looks way more expensive than $50.
I highly recommend getting this bookshelf! I will update this review if it collapses or anything like the metal poles bend, but I seriously doubt it will happen.This was so easy to put together! It looks so expensive! It holds just the right amount of stuff, I actually have my flat screen TV sitting on it too! Its a little shorter than I wanted though, but that is my only complaint!

I received these shelves today and the sturdiness and quality is top notch! Very professional looking as they are for my office. I only wish they made these shelves in 5 & 6 shelve units. For me, I just ordered three units and created two taller ones. If you do this you will have an extra piece of glass left over for other use. Then again, you can always order four units and be all set...(*_*)Saturday, December 7, 2013

Walker Edison Bermuda 44-Inch Corner TV Stand
I shopped around for some time looking for a stand that would hold my new HDTV. The retail stores I went to had two choices that I saw. Choice 1 were stands grossly overpriced and choice 2 were stands that were overpriced and cheap quality. I found TV stand searching on the internet painful. Most websites had to many choices, to little information about the stands and very little customer feedback. I admit buying the stand even through Amazon was a gamble.
I have owned this stand for roughly 5 months now. The stand has a manufacturers weight capacity of 250 pounds. My 47" HDTV does not weigh anything near that but I like knowing that it can handle the weight. The unit once assembled is very sturdy and I believe would hold 250 pounds. I would recommend having 2 people available to move the completed unit because it is somewhat heavy and awkward to move alone, however I managed to do it myself.
The stand has plenty of space to hold your TV, cable box, gaming system, odd and ends etc. I don't have a ruler handy but I can tell you that I have more than enough space and clearance on the shelves.
I could go on and on about how this stand is great but I will sum it up. It is a solid stand that has plenty of room and looks awesome. ( I got the black glass) The height from the floor to the top shelf is perfect for viewing my TV. Cable management out the back is adequate. (The picture gives you a good idea what you are working with) I would buy this again and highly recommend this stand.
Buy Walker Edison Bermuda 44-Inch Corner TV Stand Now
We purchased this for a very tight corner, and it works perfectly. Very easy to assemble. The back panel is great to keep all the wires out of the way. I would suggest making sure all your connectors are in place before placing the TV on top. Because it is in a corner attaching other connectors to the TV can be a hassle after the fact. We put a 46" TV on the stand and it looks just fine. Actually the design of the stand makes it almost invisible under the TV, which we're happy with.Read Best Reviews of Walker Edison Bermuda 44-Inch Corner TV Stand Here
This is a nice looking contemporary corner unit and is fairly easy to set up. Two people should be involved, because you will need an extra set of hands to turn the unit over when you are done. I had the back (narrow side) facing me for the assembly; then it's one turn back towards the corner and another turn and you're done! The reason for a 4 star rating was that the holes in the cable management bracket (on the bottom) did not exactly line up onto the screw plates on the underside of the top glass. I used a round metal file to slightly enlarge both brackets on the outside of each L-shaped bracket. Extra parts are supplied. I also used some WD-40 to lubricate the screw threads to make installing easier. All in all this is a very nice unit for the price and will compliment your HD TV.Want Walker Edison Bermuda 44-Inch Corner TV Stand Discount?
We have a wide open passage from the living room to the bay breakfast area, many windows and plants and all white oak flooring. This simple glass stand is elegant in its simplicity, and the dark bronze legs are a perfect frame for the Sony 46" HDTV. We have it placed in that passageway to the outside, and it makes a decorative statement that complements both rooms. You can assemble simply in less than 30 minutes (they even include extra caps and smaller parts); the result is sturdy, and elegant. Best money I could have spent, and it arrived two days after I placed the order. Don't worry about backing it into a corner or against a wall (unless you have a roustabout dog or young adventurous children). It would easily take a 52" flat screen as well.

Safco Model 5-Pocket Magazine Rack, Black Onyx (5578)
It's a little smaller than I anticipated, but it works perfectly for us in the space we designated. So, just read the dimensions and make sure you're aware of the size.
Overall, it's a great product. It's sturdy, functional, and looks good. I think I'm remembering correctly that it has a guide to use for hanging on the wall and it comes with plastic wall anchors, as well.My office marketing materials were getting out of hand.
I suggested we mount magazine-type holders on the wall and use them to house the marketing slicks.
And this is what we did.
Three in a row, right next to each other.
They look great, hold exactly what we need. Couldn't ask for more than that (plus, they make me look good)!

Nice rack. Came with a template to drill holes on the wall for the mounting screws. Wall anchors that come with it are useless though but you find those at a hardware store easy. The rack itself is made of wire mesh attached to a metal frame. It seems sturdy and is holding up well. I have these mounted in patient exam rooms that see heavy use everyday. The rack is handsome and looks professional.Read Best Reviews of Safco Model 5-Pocket Magazine Rack, Black Onyx (5578) Here
