American Furniture Alliance Locker Storage Tower Left, Silver

American Furniture Alliance Locker Storage Tower Left, SilverFirst off, we love this, however, we expected to get blue doors. We got silver. We intended to purchase this product (we bought two) from Walmart where we got the matching book shelf but opted to purchase this from Amazon solely for the blue doors. We would have spent $20 less at Walmart for this identical product. I reviewed the description of this product thoroughly prior to purchasing it to make sure we would get blue doors. Heck, even the title of the product says Navy Blue Panel. That being said, this is a great product. Matches the other pieces we purchased perfectly and our son is happy. I would have preferred the product as described but am happy if my child is.

Sauder HomePlus Tilt-out Storage Cabinet, Dakota Oak 411309

Sauder HomePlus Tilt-out Storage Cabinet, Dakota Oak 411309I purchased two of these cabinets to sit side by side in my kitchen and I just love them! They were easy to put together and look great. I love that my trash and recycling cans are hidden plus I now have tons of extra storage.

It arrived with no blemishes, packed properly, and with all the parts it was supposed to have minus one nail (I'm not too worried, considering that it's supposed to have 46 and came with 45, and all you use the nails for is holding the cardboard back in place). It was a bit of a pain to put together, but they recommend two people and I did it alone, so I can't fault them for that. Just know that it *can* be done solo if you're prepared to put some serious time in.

I should also mention that they made it so the door can swing out either direction, depending on how you install it. You could even get two of these side by side and make it look like one big cabinet. The finished product goes great in my studio apartment just outside my impossibly tiny kitchen. It matches my table nicely, and is a perfect place to hide the trash and store my weightlifting supplements so that they no longer clutter my linen closet.

The only thing stopping it from getting a 5 star rating was the difficulty of getting the doors to go in straight, and the fact that even when I did, I noticed that the cabinet itself was ever so slightly lopsided, It's small enough that you won't notice it unless you're looking for it, but it means that the holes were drilled off center.

Would I buy another? Depends on my financial situation. It's very much an example of "you get what you pay for". It's not cheap junk furniture, but it's not super high quality either. If I had a $150-200 budget for a new cabinet, I'd buy this again, but if I could afford to spend more, probably not.

I bought this cabinet to use in my laundry room and it works great! The only down side, like many pre-manufactured pieces like this is that the back is just heavy duty card board making it a bit flimsy. I ended up buying 1/4 inch plywood and using it for the back instead of the card board.

Perfect place to hide the trash. Makes some good extra cupboard space on the top for food or other kitchen stuff. I was worried about the trash smelling up the whole thing, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Very nice looking cabinet. There was a lot of hardware required to put it together and it did take me about 90 minutes because I struggled with the door. If you lay it on its side while putting on the door it would be easier and you probably won't ding it up like I did. Will work for storage and hiding trash like I intended it to do.

InterDesign Axis Three Tier Tower Shelf

InterDesign Axis Three Tier Tower Shelf, BronzeI purchased this shelf for a tight space in my bathroom, and it fit the bill perfectly. The product arrived as described and in good condition.

Great little shelf that is perfect for the bathroom. I put it right between my sink and toilet which is a tight space (I am in an apartment) and it fits great there. I am able to put my things I use to get read in the morning on the shelves and it all fits great. Nice piece for any bathroom if you're looking for a little more storage space.

This gets things off the counter by going vertical, which was what I was after. I only gave it four stars because the wire shelves allow bottles to tip easily. A solid shelf would not do that.

Oh this shelf not only is a GREAT price...it's a steal! It's really nothing to put together, very stylish and sturdy. GREAT buy! Buy a few of them! I got my order before expected. It's no glass to clean just light dusting or wet and dry cloth weekly. Nice decorative piece.

Welland 24 Inch x 4 Inch x 2 Inch Photo Ledge Picture Display Shelf Black

Welland 24 Inch x 4 Inch x 2 Inch Photo Ledge Picture Display Shelf BlackI absolutely love these photo ledges! I currently have two already, however the ones from IKEA are much cheaper and the same if not better quality! (So if you're close to an IKEA, I'd suggest heading over to them), but if you're not close, this is definitely similar! Overall, these are great and easy to put on the wall! I couldn't live without them!

Home Styles 9001-0021 Create-a-Cart 9001 Series Cuisine Cart with Natural Wood Top, White, 32-1/2-I

Home Styles 9001-0021 Create-a-Cart 9001 Series Cuisine Cart with Natural Wood Top, White, 32-1/2-InchI was so excited to get this cart but really disappointed that it was hard to put together and the holes didn't line up. Poor-fair quality.

It arrived great. Good packaging. it arrived as 2 boxes, the cart, and the top.

After unpacking, it took me about 2 hours to assemble. All-in-all, it goes together like any other u-assemble furniture.

However, the two side panel alignment dowels were misaligned by just enough that they wouldn't go together without some modifications. they were off by about 1/16". Just enough to be a problem.

One of the the back panel inserts was a little too tall. I had to trim about 1/16" off it. Not sure if that was because of the dowel misalignment or not. Considering the panels were in the back, and problem dowel was in the front I don't see how.

Maybe only 1 in 100 will have the same problem, so be warned.

In the end, it's a nice looking cart and seems sturdy and will suit my need.

Arrived very quickly. Looked overwhelming unboxing it, but went together very easily. It took longer than I thought to put together, but not bad. Quality seems Great. The shelve on top is great for Salt and Pepper. Suits my need perfectly.

Proman Floor Cabinet with Hamper

Proman Floor Cabinet with HamperWe are newlyweds, so fixin up the house...I ordered this for a guest bathroom that isn't so small, but the floor design only left a 22in square area for a hamper. Also, it's in good shape but was just blah...no decor, no shelves or cuboards for displaying towels, nothing interesting at eye level. The former renters even took the showerhead with them, it needed everthing.

I received it promptly, always a bonus in Alaska, and assembled it. While the fit and finish is the reason it is a four star review, the design deserves a five star. I put dark orange and light grey towls on the shelves, underneath is now the dirty towel hamper for all towels...I really like it. It does show dust faster than some, and even minor scratches show. Also the tilting hamper doesn't hold a lot. (Look closely at the amazon photo and you can see the back of the hamper in the picture is only about 70% as tall as the opening for it.) I think the company should make it in more than one color, since it is the only one designed like this I could find and I searched stores, internet, etc. I would recommend this to a friend.

Love it! Looks great! Only drawback is the finish chipped a little over time but, it gets tons of use at my house.

ScreenDeck - A Shelf for Your TV Things

ScreenDeck - A Shelf for Your TV ThingsI bought this shelf to support my Definitive Technologies ProCenter 1000, which weighs about 12 lbs. I was a little worried that this would be a flimsy excuse for a shelf, and that my speaker would be too heavy for it.

I got the shelf this morning, and after installing it I am happy to report that it holds my speaker well. I wouldnt want to go much heavier than 12 lbs though.

BUILD QUALITY: The shelf platform itself is made of molded plastic, and the two "L" brackets are made of steel. The brackets are the true load bearing component in this shelf, and they are definitely well made for the task.

DESIGN QUALITY: The shelf is designed in a way that is configurable the two "L" brackets can be several widths apart. Figuring out where to attach the brackets for my TV was done by eyeballing it. I got it on the first try. Unfortunately, there is no forward/backwards configurability. For height, you can also configure how high above the TV you want the shelf to be. Additionally, these brackets bolted into my TV with two bolts (included) to both the shelf, and two more the the TV. This is a very strong connection.

SPEAKER SHELF: The one thing that bugs me is that the shelf does not come as far forward as I would like it to. My speaker is all the way to the front of the shelf, and is still a solid 1" from being flush with the TV screen.

BOTTOM LINE: Though pricey, this shelf delivers on what it says it will. This isnt like HDMI cords, where there are cheaper options available this shelf was about the only product I found on Amazon. I could build one myself that would probably end up being as good (maybe not...), but that would take a trip to the hardware store and half a saturday. With no shipping costs thanks to Amazon Prime, this was a good buy.

Does not fit my Panasonic 42" Viera plasma TV. Good luck determining if your TV has "VESA standard screw hole patterns..." No existing screw holes on my TV come close to fitting the brackets. Product is good quality so I'm going to keep it and figure out how to make it work. Brackets can be spread from 6" to 16" apart and each bracket is 24" long with 19 screw holes for mounting flexibility. Screw holes are 1" apart. Shelf measures 5" x 17 3/4".

This shelf currently supports a center speaker on my Panasonic 50GT30. I was worried initially that it wouldn't fit and that I would have to move up to the next larger shelf. However that was not the case; it is screwed into all four vesa points on the display. For those with an 50ST30 encouraged by the previous, note that the bezel is an inch larger than the 50GT30; it is likely that this will not fit.)

I did have to use rubber spacer grommets due to the way the vesa mounting points are recessed on my unit. This allowed the top of the shelf to mate flush with the back of the display. Unfortunately since I found the grommets I needed in our slowly growing mass of random bits and pieces in our junk drawer, I cannot directly advise as to what size grommets would be ideal.

It easily supports the weight of my center speaker. ~14 pounds, or 6.35 kg.

The only negative is this: I feel that this is slightly overpriced. I do not make that sort of commentary often, as generally it is unfair. However this is merely two metal structural pieces and a molded plastic shelf, and isn't even built to support a significant amount of weight, just as the manufacturer admits. That said, it was just what I needed and provides a clean looking final install. Four stars.

The website for Screen Deck is: They have a nice description and several videos.

Screen Deck makes 3 sizes of shelfs.

I agree with other reviewers that this shelf seems overpriced at $30 but it serves it's purpose. This shelf is especially useful for attaching a center speaker on a TV connected to a swivel stand. The problem with a typical speaker setup and a swivel tv stand is when you swivel your TV your center channel speaker is still facing forward. With the Screen Deck the center speaker is facing in the same direction as the TV, which is optimal.

It seems like a do-it-yourselfer could put together something that would be stronger for a lot less money. The shelf would be stronger if it extended into the back so the center speaker could be centered on top of the bracket.

I am very pleased with this product. It is of good quality, and looks very nice attached to my 47" TV. It was VERY easy to install. The brackets only fit on the shelf one way, so it is impossible to mount it backwards, and they give you multiple sets of screws to fit various implementations of the VESA standard. My favorite part of the packaging is that they have each set of the different types of screws packed in an separate, well-marked compartment. Somebody actually gave some thought to design of all aspects of the product.

Convenience Concepts 111097E Northfield Bookshelf, Dark Espresso Floating

Convenience Concepts 111097E Northfield Bookshelf,  Dark Espresso FloatingI really liked the modern look and dark wood of this bookshelf. The size is great for any small corner of a room and the floating shelves give you different display options. I am currently using it in a nursery and its great for children's books. The quality is a standard laminate product, not very solid but does not feel cheap. When it arrived it was in a heavy box, but easy to unpack and move each piece to the room that it was going to be in. Finally the installation was a little confusing, but following the instruction got the job done. Because of all the floating shelves installation is a lot easier with two people. One person can hold it steady while you are screwing it together.

Pros:

Design + Dark wood

Size

Cons:

Putting it togeather

4D Concepts Corner Spacesaver Bookcase, Maple

4D Concepts Corner Spacesaver Bookcase, MapleI needed a shelf to hold a collection thin paperback scripts but had very little uninterrupted wall space to devote to a bookshelf. This corner unit seemed to fit the bill and the price was right.

In choosing this piece, I opted for function over form thinking it not very pretty. However, once I had it assembled and hung on the wall, I thought it a shame to hide it behind a bedroom door where it cannot be seen -it's surprisingly pleasant to look at.

It is also surprisingly sturdy (anchored to the wall at each panel) and is now holding 90 scripts with room for more. However, bookends (or small decorative items) are recommended.

I purchased two of these bookcases and have had them up for about a month now in both my living room and bedroom. Assembly was simple as the instructions were clear and required only the use of a Phillips screwdriver. Installation was just as easy as the bookcase, once assembled, is not heavy (though getting the help of another person for installation is suggested). After installation, each shelf feels sturdy despite the fact that they are not secured into the wall studs (the shelves come with plastic anchors for the screws). These bookcases have allowed me to create functional corners in my home that would have otherwise remained unoccupied.

The shelf was very easy to assemble and holds a surprising amount of DVDs! My husband and I plan on ordering another one for the other side of the TV. If you are looking at this, you should definitely buy it! All of our friends who have come over since we put this up are amazed! This shelf is artistic, unique, sturdy and a great price! What more could you want?

Want 4D Concepts Corner Spacesaver Bookcase, Maple Discount?

This bookcase is simply amazing. The only reason I could not give it four stars is because you may need more screws to carry the weight of this shelf if it is being hung against a particular wall. Other than that it is a great addition to my bathroom.
