Organize It All Morocco Wall Mounting 2-Tier Shelf with Towel Bar

Organize It All Morocco Wall Mounting 2-Tier Shelf with Towel BarIt's exactly what I wanted for new motorhome's bathroom. It's lightweight and sturdy. When assembling I reversed the shelves so the scrolled back was in the front acting as a stopper to keep things falling off when in transit. I also cut a couple pieces of 1/2 " pvc pipe I had and filed a curved shape in the ends so they snapped in to act as side rails on the lower shelf. I painted them black of course......they blended in great with the dark bronze color. This shelf holds lots of stuff where we really needed more storage space.

Easy to assemble and hang.. Everything goes to gether in a few minutes.

The shelf looks nice.

.

My only criticism is the wire shelves.. They are flimsy and the spacing of the wire elements doesn't support some items well like shampoo bottles. If I had to do over I would look for a unit with solid shelves, but after putting together and hanging it , I wasn't in the mood to disassemble and return it.

This shelf is just the right size for a small bathroom with limited space. This is great for clearing up space on bathroom counters and for organizing your personal items. The only drawback that I can find is that due to the oil rubbed bronze finish, it does show dirt quicker than silver or nickel items. But that's ok because I like the dark bronze. Overall all sturdy, affordable, attractive and classy.

Wall Mount Key Cabinet 30 Key Capacity

Buddy Products Key Cabinet, 30 Hooks, Steel, 3 x 12 x 10 Inches, GrayNo frills key box and decent price. Shipment was quick. Only problem is stickers and key tags are of low quality, would have liked to see them match the quality of the steel box, but they are passable.

Good cabinet if security is not a priority. Door probably could be opened with a screwdriver given a little bit of time. The numbered hooks that come with the cabinet aren't very sturdy but I really didn't expect better. I removed the hook assembly and installed my own key ring hook bars with very good results. All in all I am okay with the cabinet and would buy another provided of course security wasn't a major concern.

Multi Media Storage Shelf, Wall Unit

Multi Media Storage Shelf, Wall UnitI purchased one of these units recently, along with a similar, smaller unit, after much searching and reading of reviews. It exceeded my expectations, in every way, particularly the shelves which appear to be 1/2 laminated particle board and are very sturdy even when fully loaded. This one took about an hour to build with an experienced friend, but was not challenging. Mostly I was very impressed with the quality for the price. There are not a lot of units that hold this many cds and the others I researched seemed flimsy. Not the case here, excepting the cardboard back, but even that came with a number of screws to attach it to the main frame. Allover, I was very impressed.

Pearl Mantels 490-48-70 Lindon Wood 48-Inch Wall Shelf, Distressed Cherry

Pearl Mantels 490-48-70 Lindon Wood 48-Inch Wall Shelf, Distressed CherryThe mantelpiece is gorgeous! I love it! It is just as I expectedbeautifully finished. I can hardly wait until Christmas to hang stockings from it.

I choose this rating because there was just no way to improve this product. I had a difficult time finding a mantel for a smaller fireplace wall, which didn't look like just a "shelf". I wanted it to be beautiful, and yet fit properly in a small family room area, and not obstruct the TV. This product is well made, and beautiful with the angle corner edges, and fit perfectly. It came a few days early, and packaged for safe shipping. I would definately recommend any of the Pearl products to a friend. My only concern is, it is made in China, and I thought when I ordered it, it was US made. I sent an email expressing my disappointment. I hope more pearl products will be US made in the near future.

Thunder Group PLRPSS Wire Shelving Plastic Split Shelf Sleeves

Thunder Group PLRPSS Wire Shelving Plastic Split Shelf SleevesI ordered these, said 8 set or something like that, yeah not what it is one set is all times what ever you need so paid all that shipping for not enough to build my shelves, very disappointed

4D Concepts Girl's Storage Bookcase, White

4D Concepts Girl's Storage Bookcase, WhiteJust looking at the bookcase in the stock picture, you can't help but love it. Pink and purple drawers with white shelves is a nice look, and it looks like it can hold quite a bit for the size. I made sure to read over the product details, something that's uncommon around here on Amazon, before I ordered it, but once I got to check this thing out after assembly, I ended up being a bit disappointed with what I got for my money. When the back of this thing cracks right down the middle during assembly, you start to wonder why the manufacturer didn't include a few replacement pieces.

Regarding the storage capabilities of this bookcase, the drawers are the best thing about it, even if they're made of canvas and cardboard. The three little ones hold all my daughter's socks, tights and other smaller clothes perfectly, and like the product details suggest, this would hold games, controllers and handhelds like the DS well too. The two big ones below are roomy and great for pants and pajamas, though they could hold a bunch of figures, dolls and smaller stuffed animals like mini plush Pokemon. It's up to you or your child. I really do like the color on these drawers, as the pink and purple look just like they do in the stock picture, not brighter or darker, and the handles are sturdy for what they are. You can remove the drawers if you want toothey're not fastened in the bookcase with bolts or anything. Also, the bookcase unit is fairly sturdy when you put it together. It doesn't wobble around when you bump into it, and it can hold a smaller tv on top without any worries of collapsing. You can put this thing together in less than 40 minutes.

As for the bookcase itself, it's one of the two big negatives about the product. If you need to know what size books will fit on it, and what won't, look no further than your standard Dr. Seuss book. If you want to put these in the bookcase standing up, they won't fit. Yes, the shelves are too short even for those nice-sized books. Little Golden books stand a chance, as to anything smaller than that, but things like the hardcover Eric Carle books and nearly anything by Maurice Sendak will have to be laid down. It'd be nice if the makers would've made these shelves a little taller since most people have books standing up. The other big problem is what I mentioned earlierthe backing. There is -NOreason why it should be such a flimsy material. I'd send it back if it meant getting a different back to the bookcase and not another identical one.

Still, my daughter loves it, and I expect she'll be lining up all her animal, Gremlins, Pokemon and Ghostbusters toys on the book shelves if we go with something else for books. You could do a lot worse at this price, but you could also do a lot better for slightly more. I'll probably get something else in 2 years or so.

I was a little worried when I purchased this that the quality might not be great because of the price. All other bookshelfs I had looked at were close to $200. But when I received it I was so surprised. It is so cute and looks great in my daughters room. I put it together myself and it only took an hour. It also has little straps you can attach to it to anchor it to the wall to make it more safe. I'm very very happy with this piece and I can't wait to get the tv stand that I ordered that matches it.

Easy to put together, lovely appearance, HOWEVER, the two shelves were not tall enough to hold a book upright. Otherwise BEAUTIFUL!

This item shipped in good condition. Although this product was available at Walmart, I purchased it thru Amazon to take advantage of the free shipping and the price was cheaper. It was easy to put together. I purchased two of these and they look good in my grandaughters bedroom.

No doubt this is a smaller bookcase and yes you will likely have to store most books sideways (children's books being all sorts of large and strange shapes/sizes). The interior measurements on the top two shelves after assembly are 8 3/4" high x 11 1/4 deep x 23 3/4 wide--but having read the product dimensions this was what I expected. Assembly itself was easy (took me approximately half an hour) with clear, straight-forward directions and with all pieces clearly marked--which if you've purchased much "put it together yourself" furniture you know is not often the case. This bookshelf is relatively solid and sturdy after assembly, even surprisingly so for such an inexpensive piece. I have purchased similar bookshelves for twice the price from different companies/manufacturers which were much lower quality. The furniture safety straps are a smart inclusion for an item obviously intended for a child's room. It looks very cute in my daughter's room where it is next to her junior height loft bed and is the perfect height to act partially as a nightstand. Overall this is a decent quality and attractive bookshelf at a good price and I am well-pleased with it.

Safco Mobile Beverage Cart Black

Safco Mobile Beverage Cart BlackThis piece is very utilitarian and plain. The quality is first rate and it is useful. The only issue is that it is giant sized! Too large for a small corner.. Trying to find another place for it..

I was surprised once this was assembled, how large it was, mostly tall. I really didn't look at the dimensions before purchasing, only pictures. So make sure you check out the dimensions first. Otherwise it is a quality product and reasonably priced compared to other websites.

All in all, we like it. Plenty of compartments, and nice shelving to keep our coffee/tea/water and food supplies organized. After a couple years of use, the lower cabinets won't close fully. This could be fixed if I take the door assembly apart and tinker with it some more, however.

It has given us 2 years of solid use, and we've received several compliments. Would buy again.

Baxton Studio Marconi Brown Asymmetrical Modern TV Stand

Baxton Studio Marconi Brown Asymmetrical Modern TV StandIt's just what I was looking for! I hate using tv stands that covers the entire wall. This worked perfectly for me since I don't own DVDs nor plan to collect DVDs. I really don't see a need for DVDs anymore anyway, in my opinion. Anyway, this is perfect for our Samsung LED 60' tv.

NOTE: When you assemble this stand, it comes out to 3 pieces that you have to put next to each other, but it's pretty stable. You can screw each pieces together or keep them as 3. That way you have the option to re-decorate however you want it later on.

This tv stand is amazing overall. I am pleased with the way it looks. It's ideal for those with a long wall. Couple of negatives though: 1) The instructions sucked. It is nothing like Ikea type of instructions. I actually damaged a side of it due to the lack of clarity and took way too long to figure it all out. 2) The drawers that are side by side to one another (right side of the stand), do not sit straight. Therefore, it gives an illusion that the tv stand is crooked overall, as if the top of portion of it is weighing the drawers down. Aside from these flaws, it's a great tv stand.

Good Table, looks good...Quality is definitely below average. This is not my first Baxton Studio product, but this TV stand is by far the worst one I got. The table is very hard to assemble since the parts were not labeled properly. The quality of the wood is really poor. However, its appearance is really good. The packing of the table isn't good enough so one of the parts was damaged and had to ask for a replacement

Pros: Good Price, Good Appearance

Cons: Low Quality, hard assembly, packing is not protective enough

I received this item and had a major headache with it's packaging, shipping, and delivering (and customer service). Despite the shipping and handling errors and receiving damaged and/or missing pieces, the material looked fairly cheap. The wood looked like it would chip and damage easily. The wood looked synthetic and though the structure itself would look nice after assembly, I would question the cosmetic lifetime of this stand. Be careful when you are setting up or building this stand, it looks like if you bang a couple boards together by accident it will definitely cause some injury to the surfaces.

My headache with this item's shipping and handling: Half of the items in my last order for this tv stand were damaged. They were complete eyesores. I am not talking about a few nicks and dings. I mean it looks as if someone took a hammer to some of the surfaces on this item. Several of the pieces were chipped as well. I am not sure if the pieces were damaged during shipping, or if Amazon Warehouse Deals Inc. thought this item was of "New" quality. This is the second time I received this item. The first time I ordered this stand, half of the items were missing.. They sent 1 of 2 boxes. I waited a week for the second box but none came. I could not even get into contact with the seller. I contacted Amazon and was informed that it is impossible to call Amazon Warehouse Deals Inc., and that I would simply have to return the item myself, wait 1-2 weeks for the warehouse to receive my package so my refund can be processed, which would take about another week in itself. I tried emailing and messaging Amazon Warehouse Deals Inc. but only received an error message on Amazon.com and in my email saying the seller's email address didn't exist, which didn't surprise me. I've been quite fed up with just ordering this item. Hesitate when you are going to click the confirm order button when purchasing this stand. Give amazon plenty of time for returning the item and processing your refund, and definitely be wary of Amazon Warehouse Deals Inc.

I have not given up though.. despite everything. For the price and after looking at other tv stands of similar quality, I am set on receiving this item (in finally New condition). For the price, it appears to be a good item of ok quality. It would be a nice furniture piece to hang a plasma over, as long as you don't get up close to the piece and notice it isn't the best quality. Although I suppose no one but yourself would care anyways..

Anyway, I will wait for my refund to process or until my next paycheck so that I can re-order this item. I choose Amazon because I love Amazon, I would give them my business and my money over other online vendors (Overstock.com Target.com) anyday. If you have Amazon Prime (I use the college discount), utilize. I received both items within 3-4 days of purchasing. This sped up the return process at least.

I will be pruchasing the next stand from Amazon itself --don't be confused, Amazon Warehouse Deals Inc. and Amazon itself are totally different vendors. Amazon has excellent customer service as AWD Inc.'s is non-existent.

I will update this post later when I finally receice a good shipment and will post a picture of it after it is set up. I am very excited to finally have this set up in my living room.

This item ships in two separate boxes(large and small). The larger box was extremely heavy and I think the FEDEX handlers must have dropped it several times because the box was badly damanged. I opened it up and everything looked okay initially, but about 3/4 of the way through assembling the unit I found there were some pieces with cosmetic damage(in places that will be displayed and one broken shelf bottom. There was no way I would be able to dissassemble the entire thing and try to re-box it properly, so we're kind of stuck with it.

As others have mentioned the instructions are not good. The pieces are supposed to be marked or labeled, but many of mine were not and some had been stamped with red ink on the side that had faded so badly I couldn't read them anyway. I did manage to get it together after about 3 hours.

I looked through the instructions for some way to call to get just the damaged pieces replaced but there was no info at all. I got it all put together and it looks nice, but some of the pieces that had damage are the ones that are showing. I plan to go to a hardware store and find a cover up pen or paint to try and hide the damage.

Sauder Graham Hill Entertainment Credenza Autumn Maple

Sauder Graham Hill Entertainment Credenza Autumn MapleI purchased a 47 inch LED HD television to replace my aging and bulky 27 inch CRT television. My old TV and VCR sat on a small stand and my receiver, DVD player, VSH tapes, record player, cable box, and cable router were in a tall (72 inches) cabinet. I wanted one unit that would hold all of my equipment in style. After searching through over 50 different styles and brands of entertainment stands, I chose this one. It can be difficult to determine if a particular product will fit your needs just by looking at a picture on a website. Fortunately I was able to find the general measurements and "guessimated" it would be a good fit. As for the unit itself, the color of the finish is much darker than shown. The overall quality of the materials were very good and sturdy. All the hardware was well packed and no parts were missing. The instructions was fairly clear, but could be better with more and clearer written guidance. It took approximately two hours to put it together by myself. Putting on and adjusting the glass doors was the biggest challenge, but otherwise the assembly was fairly easy. You will need a heavy duty phillips screwdriver and a small hammer for assembly. It would be best to have another person available to help move the unit once it is put together, it weighs over 120 pounds. Once I had the unit put into place, I transferred all of the above mentioned equipment onto it. I wish I could show a photo of the completed setup, it worked better than I anticipated. It looks like a unit costing $$ more. The 47 inch HD TV looks great sitting on the simulated granite top. My biggish Onkyo receiver is a great fit on the top middle shelf with room for ventilation (this unit can run hot). My center speaker fit perfectly on the shelf beneath the TV with the DVD player and AT&T cable box on either side. The VCR and tapes went on the shelves behind the glass doors. It has totally transformed the look in my living room and enhanced my audio visual experience.

I like it for the price. Fairly easy to assemble. Quality is good. My only gripe is the color of the finish. It is not a truly Maple finish. It was significantly darker than the Internet photos and the color photo on the side of the delivered box. So, the finish is not true to what is marketed. Don't expect it to even come close to matching any existing "Maple" furniture in your room.

Several very small packing damage. Also the top and center dips about a 3/8 of an inch downward. All in all it looks very nice and the average person would not notice anything unless shown. Good by for the money.. Would recommend to others for I think this might have been an over sight.

The wood is a very dark brown. Not like in the picture AT ALL. Also top is very dark and warped. Too heavy to send back, we set it up and are living with it but we really don't like it. I should have listened to other reviewer that said it was not maple color. Live and learn.

Plano Molding 9524 Heavy Duty Shelving with Vents

Plano Molding 9524 Heavy Duty Shelving with VentsProduct cracked during shipping, along the edges, at the weak points.

It was still usable, but has some sharp edges where pieces of the plastic have chipped off.

The actual durability of the main shelf area is fine, I am even convinced it can accommodate the weight advertised.

I like the surface of the shelves.

I like the way the units can hook together.

I like the size of the shelves.

But there are some very weak points in the plastic molding around the edges, that do easily crack during shipping.

One of the shelves had the bottom part, where the pole connects, with enough of the plastic cracked off that this one shelf became unusable.

Coloring of poles was not the same as the shelves. This can not be seen in the image.

Shelf unit is built well, however 1st unit was damaged enough to make it unuseable. Amazon quickly replaced, 2nd unit was damaged but could be repaired(insert leg broke off) packing is made for retail sale and should not be shipped in a box made for retail packaging.-no corner protectors, just a cardboard box.

Box says assembles in 2 mins. and it really does.

Its a good sturdy shelving unit with lots of shelf space.

I bought it for my garage.

A little dissapointed in a small crack on one of the shelves after I set it up and loaded it.

Overall a good buy.

These shelves are maybe light to medium duty. I am highly doubtful that if you fully loaded the shelves to 150 lbs the unit would support the total weight of 750 lbs. The "feet" are just small plastic extrusions that are not very substantial. They get broken in shipping! There is no option for leveling feet so you cannot use this on an uneven floor. For most homeowners this would be fine. If you expect to load this up with heavy tools forget it. Get a metal shelf unit and pay more. I bought this to use in a damp environment.

Want Plano Molding 9524 Heavy Duty Shelving with Vents Discount?

Works as advertised.

Got it to replace my son's dresser because he is too lazy to put away his clothes in drawers. Works good for that.

All the hooks on the side of the shelves came broken. I didn't know it came with hooks, so I'm not too upset. But if I did count on those hooks, I would have had to return it.
