Whitmor Supreme Stacking Shelf, Chrome

Whitmor 6054-585 Supreme Wide Stacking Shelf, ChromeIt looks nice, assembles quickly, and for low weight uses (toiletries, shoes, kitchen items) this shelf will probably do fine, but I bought it as a desktop computer stand and it is too weak for that or any other heavy objects.

If you put any significant weight on it, you will see the metal start to bow immediately. When placed on the shelf, my computer will rock back and forth after a light touch. The computer is nowhere near the stated 200 lbs. load capacity, and even just pressing down with my hands made the sides of the shelf start to bow. While the flex in the metal will decrease noise due to vibration I'm going to find a stronger replacement and move this to a closet or something....

I bought some of these to make shelving in a storage area and was pleasantly surprised by how easy these are to stack together with no tools. My stack was sturdy, the shelves are adjustable, and I had no problem with any sharp edges. I was concerned about ordering from Target, as I have read MANY reviews complaining about their items being damaged in shipment, but all of these units arrived safely, each in its own box. I would gladly purchase these again.

I think this product is an excellent value. It's plenty sturdy enough for the size (meaning it would be tough to put something on it too heavy since it's not very big). It's doing an excellent job for the situation I bought it for.

I bought this shelf because I was looking for something to place potted plants on that wouldn't fit on regular plant stands (long rectangular pots and round 12-14"). Shelf construction is incredibly easy and only takes about five minutes. Like other reviewers, I found that the shelf dips a little in the center, but it isn't enough to be a problem, and it will definitely support the 200 pound limit it's designed for. The price for this product is just right and it's turning out to be a perfect solution to my plant stand problem.

If you're looking for sturdy, stable, functional shelving, these are perfect. I needed to better organize craft supplies so purchased 1 small and 2 large units. They are easy to assemble and stack very securely with adjustable height options. SO glad I found these!

Folding / stacking 4 shelf Multicolormedia Storage Unit

Folding / stacking 4 shelf Multicolormedia Storage Unit, FOUR-SHELF, NATURALI purchased this storage unit because it was advertised as a multmedia storage unit. My plan for the storage unit was to consolidate my DVDs in one location (currently they are on two different multimedia storage units). If all you have are single DVD jewel cases then maybe this storage unit will work fine for you. My problem is that I have several DVD collections (Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Star Wars, James Bond 007, etc)that are in their own little collectable boxes that are just a bit taller than the single DVD jewel cases and do not fit on any shelf except on the very top. They are just about an 1/8 or a 1/4 inch too tall to fit in the middle or bottom shelves.

It is a beautiful storage rack and went together very easily but either by design or accident they made the middle and bottom shelves too short.

There's not a lot to say. My criteria is: Inexpensive, wood, natural clear coat finish, NO Particle Board with paper laminate.

It arrived rather quickly -three days. There is no assembly. However, it's lightweight and felt as if it was going to tip over due to my rough, crude, uneven wood flooring. I pressed down a little harder to secure the feet, loaded the shelves, and to my amazement, it's quite sturdy; I set a glass lamp on top.

It looks nice against the brick wall, too. So, I've decided to get another and some bookshelves from the same series.

Although it required absolutely no assembly just unfold and you're good to go. Stacking two is also very simple and requires no screws or tools yet is acceptably secure.

The only drawback is that the shelves are 8" high so they only fit standard size DVDs, unless you place the oversized cases on the top shelf, or stack two units which provides extra height on the shelf where they are joined.

I got the walnut finish and am very pleased with the appearance. Looks like real furniture!

P.S. Although my receipt stated that the delivery date would be over two weeks from the order date, I received them in 3 days.

I thought this would be a little taller and a little more sturdier. Also, the shelves are not very big. Probably big enough to put the small paperback books on, but nothing to heavy or bulky. But I can put small books on it. It will have to do.

I have three of these and have very high regard for them. The only thing I have against these is the heights of the shelves. They are not high enough to leave in their boxes (series with jewel cases need to be taken out so they can fit in the shelves). Other than that one thing they hold a lot of DVDs.

Seville Classics 4-Shelf Shelving System with Casters/Wheels

Seville Classics Shelving System with Wheels, ChromeI recently bought two shelving units.I received them with no damage.the shelving units are larger then i expected the four shelves can be adjusted to any height.The shelving units can hold 500 lbs with leveling feet included.When using the wheels the shelves hold 150 lbs per shelve.

There are quite a few choices for this type of shelving and this one makes the cut. It is very heavy and substantial. Recommended.

Settled on this shelving after doing a lot of research. It is very sturdy, well made, and reasonably priced. Assembly takes a bit of patience when installing the shelves onto the support columns. Best to pre-measure/mark the shelf locations and put a small amount of tape around the wedges to hold them in place as the shelves are installed. The wedge locks for the shelved work out fine, no slippage noted. I'd definitely buy another set.

If you are looking for a shelving unit that is sturdy and will hold a lot of weight look no further. This has been the best product that we have found. We have bought previous shelving units from Walmart that do not even compare. Best of all you get the option for wheels or no wheels. Warning this product is heavy please make sure to bring into your home with 2 people. It is well worth the lifting.

I love this shelving unit. It was easy to put together but it will take two people. We had the unit for a week and it is a nice size for our storage room. The unit is very easy to move.

Winsome Martini Entertainment Bar

Winsome Martini Entertainment BarThis bar is pretty much what you'd expect -3 pieces of curved, black, tempered glass and some screw-together legs. It goes together easily -mostly just by hand, except for the nuts to keep the shelf-back pieces on -and it looks like 3 glass shelves with chrome tube between them when you're done.

Like most of this glass-and-tube furniture, the glass is held in place by pinching it between two tubes. The tubes are themselves held together by means of a threaded stud and a couple of nuts that have been welded to the inside the ends of each tube. For 8 of the 12 studs required to assemble this bar, the manufacture provides "long" studs which work fine. But for the last 4 they supply and instruct you to use a separate set of "short" studs. Depending on exactly where the nuts got welded into your tubes these shorter studs may or may not be long enough. None of mine were, but if I had rearranged the legs I could probably have gotten one or two to fit.

I just bought my own studs. It's an easy part to find at a hardware store, and they're only a few cents each; I don't understand why the manufacturer skimped out on the last 4 studs -the longer ones would have fit in those positions, and the price difference between 3" studs and 2" studs can't be significant compared to the wholesale cost of this item. Honestly the cost of stocking two different kinds of studs and writing instructions about how to use them probably costs more than just providing the longer studs in the first place.

Bear in mind that none of this affects the look of the piece; all of the flaws are internal. And assuming you get (or provide) long enough studs it's all perfectly sound structurally. So once you get it together there's not problem, just bear in mind you might need to make a trip to the hardware store to make that happen.

I did not attempt to get replacement parts from the manufacturer. For the $2 cost of additional studs it wasn't worth my time on the phone, waiting for parts, etc. Presumably they would have sent me another bag of longer studs if I called and bothered them about it.

I ordered this from Amazon through Stacks-and-Stacks Inc. out of California, USA. The delivery was a day late and parts were missing from my shipment such as legs to hold up the Martini bar set including ALL screws to put the Martini Bar together and an instruction booklet. When I called the third party company's Customer Service at "Stacks-and-Stacks" Inc. they told me they would put in a work order right away. Well i didn't hear from them again for another two weeks and they never sent my missing parts. Fed up, i decided to return the product and request a refund. They took another week and a half to even arrange a Fed-Ex pick-up date for the product which they wouldn't issue a refund until the product was shipped all the way back to California, USA. Please keep in-mind we're a military family currently residing in New Jersey, USA. Now it's an entire month later, they received their incomplete product back and we're still awaiting our refund. TWO THUMBS DOWN STACKS-AND-STACKS, CA, USA!!! Needless to say, they were unprofessional in the way they conduct their customer service as well as extreamly tardy on fulfilling customer requests.

In the future my family and I will AVOID ANY PURCHASES from this third party companyStacks-and-Stacks, CA, USA!!!

this looks gorgeous in my living room. I get tons of compliments on it and everybody can't believe it when i tell them the price. i've seen this bar go between $400-$500+ from other stores/vendors. It took my friend 30 min to assemble and that was a breeze. You won't regret it. great buy.

Nice looking. Easy to put together. Seems sturdy.Definitely worth the money. Only complaint was 1 of the screws had no tread, but i was able to figure out a way to make it workable.

When I purchased this bar, before thanksgiving, I was excited. I don't now what the shipper did, but when I started to put this thing together, it shattered into a million pieces. Very disappointed in this product.

Grip It Shelf and Drawer Liner Bright White

Grip It Shelf and Drawer Liner Bright WhiteThis liner works GREAT to keep drawer inserts that aren't custom-fit from sliding around in the drawer. The Product Description has been updated since 3 1/2 years ago (when the below review was posted) to include the measurements (Roll measures 12" deep x 48" long.).

I have not been able to find Grip It Shelf and Drawer Liner in any of my local stores. I finally found it on Amazon and ordered a roll. We remodeled our bathrooms and for some reason, the usual liner I've used in the past just wasn't working in our new drawers. It was driving us crazy! I heard about this liner and gave it a try. It works exactly as described and stays in place. The whole family was impressed and our sliding around the drawer problem was finally solved. I will be ordering a few more rolls for sure!

I will never buy it unless I know what the measurements are. This website provides NO information about the product.

Lipper International Bamboo 2-Tier 10-Inch Turntable

Lipper International Bamboo 2-Tier 10-Inch TurntableThese are great, but the measurements are not accurate! I bought them because I had a cupboard only 10-1/4 inch across, but these were closer to 10-1/2 inch in diameter and had to be sanded down in order to fit. Otherwise, I really like them.

Good quality, a teeny bit overpriced, but then I am still living ing the past. Fits right into our eclectic kitchen.

No complaints on this. We put it on a kitchen island and it helps maximize space. The rollers for rotating are not very smooth, but we don't use that so I can't say if it really matters or not. But it looks good and after about 6 months seems very durable.

A couple of issues with this. Bought two and I'm glad because they appear to have poor quality control on matching shades of wood. In one the top was real light and the bottom dark. The reverse on the other one. Not a huge problem, just flipped them. It would have been a problem if only one. The legs also did not match. Flipped them again and got better results. The legs don't seem to have a "finish" on them. One of the tops has a whiteish stain on top but they are going in the cabinet so doesn't make much of a difference to me. The turntable is not very smooth rolling kind of sticks. Not going to be turning it all day so again, not a huge big deal. If you plan on displaying this on your counter top you might want a better quality product but I'm storing these in the cabinet so it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. The product seems just average.

Like another reviewer said this is wider than 10". And because the base was installed off-center it scrapes against the wall of my 11"-wide cabinet every time it goes around. The dowels that came with it have flimsy ends that break instead of firmly holding in the tray's holes. For the money I expected this to be higher quality but really it's pretty cheap quality. I bought two and I'm considering returning the unopened one.

Monarch Specialties Cappuccino Finish Hall Console Accent Table

Monarch Specialties Cappuccino Finish Hall Console Accent TableOverall we're pretty happy with this piece of furniture. It takes a bit to put it together as it's a bit more involved than others. There are 3 wood dowels and some wood glue that you have to use to assemble. Overall the quality is good and it looks good assembled. I'd estimate the time to assemble at about 30 minutes give or take. It may have taken me a few minutes longer because my two year old son decided to "help" me. lol

Overall I'm impressed with it. I'll post up some pictures of the tools/hardware and the table assembled.

Love it.... looks great in my room. Shelf is not very deep so you won't be able to put dvd player on there...maybe a nice vase or two

This is a great looking table. The instructions are only pictures so be prepared to be confused! You need a second set of hands to assemble as well. All in all I like it and am thinking about buying another one!
