AVF FS1100WINW-A Winchester TV Stand - 1100 - Walnut

AVF FS1100WINW-A Winchester TV Stand - 1100 - Walnut
  • Accommodates Flat Panel TV's 32 - 55"
  • Top Shelf TV Weight Capacity: 121 lbs.
  • Weight capacity of middle and bottom shelves: 33 lbs. each
  • The Winchester offers up to the minute design combined with practicality and presented in a real wood veneer.
  • Functionality is delivered by the spacious center shelf and cable management at the rear.

We had originally purchased a 40-inch TV which I have reviewed elsewhere. We got it with a stand that was suitable but somewhat high. When we changed to the 50-inch Panasonic Viera plasma unit, we needed a table that would be the right height and also be a decent looking, sturdy, long-lived piece of furniture. We looked at quite a number of units and were pages deep in Amazon's advertisements when we found this one. We were not disappointed. The stand went together easily, there were no obvious imperfections in the wood, the back of the unit had access ports for cable runs for both middle and lower shelves and otherwise was black and opaque. The glass shelves are basically opaque and quite heavy. And, when the TV is fully set up with the Roku on the middle shelf and the TiVo and BlueRay play on top of each other on the bottom shelf, all connected to power and to the TV with HDMI cables, no wires show. The 50-inch screen width is just slightly wider than the stand, but not unsightly so, and it is at exactly the right height. The only reason I gave this a 4-star rating rather than a 5-star is that the top glass piece is not held in place by anything but its own weight, which is quite substantial. It sits on rubber buttons to keep it from sliding but it still moves around when I try to adjust the location of the TV stand on top of the glass. This, in itself, is really inconsequential but I felt important to note. All in all, a good product which I can highly recommend to others.

The TV stand exceeded my expectation. The stand was easy to assemble. Could not believe how thick the glass shelves were.

Seville Classics 4-Shelf Dura Style Shelves with Wheels

Seville Classics SHE15363Z 4-Shelf Ultra Zinc Steel Wire Shelving System with Wheels, 14 by 36 by 54-InchI've been buying several metal shelving units in this style, mostly for my pantry and porch. I primarily store canned goods, some bulk foods, garden tools and supplies, potted plants, cans of paint etc. Nothing terribly heavy and my shelves aren't packed because my whole intent is to keep things looking organized and neat. So I don't really understand the complaints in the other reviews for this item. This shelf holds all my garden supplies perfectly, the shelves are sturdy and stable, and you can certainly wheel the cart reasonable distances with items on the shelves. The instructions say that you cannot/should not wheel it with the shelves LOADED. Considering each shelf holds up to 200lbs of evenly distributed weight, yes, I would not try to wheel around 600-800 lbs of stuff, or even half that.

If you're looking for a good, sturdy, attractive shelving unit, this is a great option. I put it together myself and did not have to hammer any of the shelves. I'm not saying it was easyit got a bit frustrating at moments but it was certainly do-able and worth the extra effort to have a really solid unit. Also, mine came with the option of either the wheel feet or regular feet if you do not want your shelf to roll.

Mine was missing one of the connector threads to screw the pole halves together but I called Seville Classics and they shipped out two of them to me the same day, no charge. I have generally preferred the Seville Classics metal shelves over a few Whitmor shelves of the same style. Good quality, reasonable effort, and they all look great!

If you have ever assembled the old nut, bolt and braces metal shelves, you have known frustration. If you have ever tried to disassemble them, you have wanted a wrecking ball. The Seville 4-tier shelving unit is easy to assemble, easy to move, easy to disassemble, and facilitates storage and organization needs. I bought one 4-tier and 3 5-tier. I am entirely satisfied.

The description of this product indicates that each shelf holds 350 pounds (or 500 pounds, depending on which part of the description you read) and the photo clearly shows the NSF stamp on the shelving. However, the shelving that arrived is rated at 200 pounds/shelf and is not NSF certified. It wasn't a deal breaker, but I was a bit disappointed. (I chose this unit over another less expensive one because it was supposedly NSF certified.) The shelving went together easily and is of adequate quality. However, the wheels are difficult to lock.

If I could put the shelving together by myself, anyone can! No tools are needed, although a rubber mallet (which I had) would be helpful. The product is well-made, all the parts were in the box, and the directions are clear. I slightly mis-calculated the first shelf and it wasn't level and I wasn't sure how to undo it. I phoned the customer service number and got immediate advice. Start-to-finish, the shelves were all done in 35 minutes. If I needed more shelving, I would definitely buy this again.

As stated by others, the model SHE15363 upon arrival does not bear NSF certification even though stated as such in the description. Not a minor detail if used in a food & beverage or medical work environment. Additionally I have found the NSF certification usually reflects a higher overall degree of quality in constuction and finish.

Nevertheless I am satisfied with this model, and with wheels included the price was right. Used for storing tools it does just fine. Have assembled many metro style shelves and use them in home, garage and workshop. Strong enough to carry a lot of weight and with wheels a breeze to move. This one went together easily enough although it was a bit of a challenge to keep the plastic sleeves in place while the shelf was positioned. Used blue masking tape to hold sleeves in place until shelf was prepositioned, then removed tape before tapping in to place with a mallet. Overall a sturdy and attractive shelf and five stars for overall value.

Seville Classics and/or Amazon should clear up the product description regarding the NSF certification.

IKEA VITTSJÖ,Shelving unit, black-brown, glass

IKEA VITTSJÖ,Shelving unit, black-brown, glassThis product came promptly, in GREAT condition (packed VERY, VERY well), easy to assemble and looks phenominal! It's just what I was needing for my modern update to my living room! I am VERY tempted to get another one...

If you are hesitant, I feel that my money was well spent on this.

You really need two patient people to assemble this. It took a lot of jiggling of the posts and four hands.

Seville Classics 18-Inch by 34-Inch by 33-1/2-Inch Industrial All-Purpose Utility Cart

Seville Classics SHE18304 18-Inch by 34-Inch by 33-1/2-Inch Industrial All-Purpose Utility Cart, ChromeThis cart is beautiful and easy to assemble. We used it to move a computer from one room of our apt to another, with all the stuff on its desk, and it rolls easily on the big casters. Great for moving things around! It holds a lot, and the rails around the shelves help things not to fall off. Handles weight well, too. Wish I'd had one of these years ago!

I only leave reviews on items that truly live up to my expectations and this one went above and beyond! Easy assembly, heavy duty construction, high quality wheels. Very easy to maneuver around tight corners. I plan to purchase another one.

First, I want to mention, I got this same cart from my local Sam's Club for $54, and it was offered on the Sam's website for $49.

In any case, this is a very sturdy product with plenty of room.

So far this is the best deal I've seen on Amazon for a wire shelving cart. It is in fact 'industrial grade' and uses the same gauge wire and posts as commercial restaurant-grade shelving. Wire shelving units often look alike as viewed on a web page but there is a big difference in quality when you see them in person. Namely, the diameter of the posts, the gauge of the wire, the quality of the welds, and the quality and size of the casters. This cart scores an "A" on all points.

Given I have few shelves in my pantry, and many small appliances, this utility cart serves my needs perfectly. Each shelf holds up to 100 lbs., and the size accommodates things like my electric griddle and blender well. It arrived in a single box, and went together fairly easily. I was able to put it together by myself.

The wheels roll nicely, and lock, and is easily navigable. The cart was significantly cheaper than most I found in stores.

Tuxedo 60" Black Slim Bookcase

Nexera Tuxedo 5-Shelf Bookcase, BlackA great unit that looks wonderful.. But the instructions could use some work to say the least. While it all turned out fine, it took a long time to figure out the picture based diagrams. With next to no written instructions, the pictures should have been divided into sub steps to give the builder a better idea of which pieces went where. We were guesssing what the images meant. It often meant noticing tiny changes in how pieces were pictured to gather which things wnet where.

See my review for the Tuxedo TV stand. Searched a long time for an entertainment center. Went with the Tuxedo line for TV stand and tall slim bookcases. Arrived quickly and packaging was first class. Reinforced cardboard box around all edges. Assembly is easy and a one person job. I've only drilled one hole in rear for speaker wire management. I have my speakers on the middle shelf. You can get all dimensions from Nexera's website. Oh, and did I mention made in Canada?

Wall Hanging Desk Hutch

Entryway Wall Mounted Book ShelfThe only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the quality. But then again, for the price, you can't expect real wood. This desk and hutch is perfect for a kid's room, especially the hutch. Although not real wood it is solid and easy to assemble. I have recommended it to others who bought it and loved it as well. Highly recomment for a child's room since it looks great, it's functional, and not expensive. If damaged it is not expensive and it won't hurt your wallet. DEFINETELY get the hutch. It is worth every penny and more.

One reviewer said, "The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the quality." the quality issues are not just because it's not solid wood but because of the overall workmanship. The hutch comes with 23 pre-drilled holes and they supply screws intended to fit, but the screws only tighten down all the way on 11 of the holes!! the holes and screws supplied for "two-piece hanging rail system" are not deep enough and, the holes are a tad too wide so they don't tighten all the way and leave one with an uneasy feeling about the hutch's stability on the wall. This product is well below the quality of a similar Sauder product.

The hutch should NOT be thought of as a serious bookshelf; it's way too small. I'm using mine to hold 31 books, and a few nic-nacs.

On the positive side, I received the product within a short period of time and it was extremely well packaged, and, the hutch is quite attractive.

This is a small home office piece of furniture. It is relatively small so it can fit into tight places, perfect for smaller homes. This is a cleverly designed unit because they included a type of bookcase that you can attach on the wall above the desk-a perfect space saver.

The delivery was fairly quick and the product showed up in one piece in one box. The finish is pretty and the mounting was fairly easy as well. The shelves are adjustable, which is very nice.

This is the second one i have purchased the first was a black on for underneath my wall mounted flat screen [which looks awesome!], and the second is this maple one that i bought to mount over my nursery combo dresser using this saved me at least on purchasing the matching hutch for the dresser [ridiculous if you ask me to pay that much for glorified shelves]. The picture doesn't do the color justice it is a bit richer maple, whereas the picture is more "natural" looking. This worked out PERFECTLY for me because i was expecting a slightly lighter hutch and it ended up matching my furniture exactly!! Shipping great as usual, A+++
