AVF EL800B-A Flat to Wall TV Mount for 30-Inch to 63-Inch Screens (Black)

AVF EL800B-A Flat to Wall TV Mount for 30-Inch to 63-Inch Screens
  • Space Saving Flat to wall TV mount for screen sizes 30-65"
  • Supports flat panel TV's up to 176 lbs
  • Compatible with VESA mounting patterns up to 800mm x 400mm
  • Universal compatibility and the modular design of the products with an 'easy-click' locking mechanism make installation as easy as 1-2-3.
  • ECO Smart Manufacturing and Packing

Used with a 60" LG slim Plasma.

I was looking for a very slim mount with no tilting. This on was the choice. It could be slimmer, but for the money, its what I expected. This thing if VERY strong. 4 lag screws are provided and mounting into the studs, I think I could have hung off the mount and I'm 225lbs. Installation is very easy. Just find the studs and level the wall plate and the hard part is over. There are little yellow clips that keep the TV from pulling off the wall. They look small and cheap. But when I tried to take the TV off to hide the wires, I couldn't get the dang thing off!!! Those clips will hold it for sure.

Be warned. With this mount, you may not have room for your cables. I had planned for this and mounted a wall box right behind the HDMI inputs to make it work. For me, the shallower the mount, the better.

Way Basics Eco Storage Triple Cube Plus

Way Basics zBoard Eco Storage Cube Plus 3-Shelf Storage Unit, WhiteMy first time writing a review, positive or negative, for anything. The idea behind this company seems great. I'm all for eco-friendly. Package arrived promptly, reasonably priced, etc... You can't assemble a shelving unit with nothing but adhesive strips, unless you're planning on holding pillows. I was directed to this product after typing in "record shelving" in the search bar. Just wanted to stop any other vinyl enthusiast from making the same mistake. I came home today to find about 150 records in various states of ruin on the floor next to the remains of the crumbled "way basic" shelving unit. To sum up, if it seems to good to be true (easy assembly! cheap! eco-friendly!), it probably is. I've seen children construct sturdier structures with scotch tape and cardboard, which is essentially what this is. Would have given a half star if available.

I needed a cheap inexpensive shelf to put under a window, next to my desk. Ordered the product, and when it came in, I was immediately displeased. I understand its supposed to be cheap and light; but I did not expect how cheap and light it really was. I almost sent it back there. (I should have). Instead, I decided to have some faith in engineering and try it out. The tape does stick well, but the binding strength is far greater than the internal strength of the paper box. So while it sticks impressively well, it was very easy to tear off a section of finish from the adhesive tape. The paper box can't hold the strength of the tape. Another thing is the very very poor dowels given for assembly. They are also very lightweight paper product dowels, you can deform between two fingers.

Assembly is quite easy, however the instructions do not point out that there is already tape on one side of each square... I nearly did it myself before I caught it and I can see many people assembling the box before realizing that there are tape stripes that must end up one specific direction. If you see it you can catch it. But the instructions make no mention of it.

Finally the thing is assembled. I put four casters on it, so it can move and float. It looks pretty good and I am happy. Put on about 1/3 of the load of books that it will eventually have. Three days later, I come into the room and the whole thing is in pieces on the floor. Still with the limited 1/3 of books I was planning to put on it. It had just fallen apart in the night. Now what?

Do yourself a favor and buy a particle board version of the same thing with real screws. May cost few $$ more, but for the limitations, 50-60$ is way too expensive.

just received the 2 shelf,and i must admit it looks great. Easy instuctions,no tools at all...just a knife to open the box. Peel off the tape and the adhesive is very strong. great purchase.

I have been looking for something to help keep the kids toys organized and accessible. I thought this would work out great. Unfortunately, the "super strong adhesive" doesn't hold up to normal use. You can't put anything heavy in it or on it. It's come apart so many times I've had to wrap the entire thing with heavy duty masking tape so I can continue to use it while I continue my search for a good toy storage system. Don't waste your money on this shelf unit.

I will be going away to college soon and I was looking for some simple but attractive shelving options. These are it! Assembly was VERY easy and it took me less than fifteen minutes to put it together. They seem sturdy as they can hold up to my massive manga and book collections. I plan on ordering more of these. One of the nicest features is that you can choose and build these shelves to fit in the space that you need to fill. They are easy to customize by putting them together to suit your taste. The different color choices are great too! I highly recommend these shelves. They look great, they are easy and fast to put together, they are reasonably priced, they are sturdy, and they help the environment. What more could a person ask for?

Safco Veneer Baby Bookcase

Safco 7-Shelf Veneer Baby Bookcase, 24-Inch W, Medium OakI needed sturdy, tall bookcases that were about 24" wide for my study. I ordered 3 of these, although not from Amazon. The man who delivered them for a freight company was clearly furious about the weight, was extremely rough with the delivery breaking the pallet on which the boxes were resting and damaging the back panel in the bottom box. Also, that box has one fewer shelf peg than it was suppose too. Maybe Safco will replace it, but the company I ordered it from cannot.

The shelves themselves are about what I expected, laminate over particle board or some such material. Any screw going into the laminate tears or ripples the laminate a little. The instructions are all pictorial with no words causing confusion to this assembler who has never seen a cam screw before. But, the assembly after the first one went much faster since I had learned all the tricks (for instance, when a cam screw won't turn to lock into place, pushing the pieces together might not work but pulling them apart *slightly* often does.)

I might well have spent more money to buy nicer shelves if I could have found them. But a trip to every furniture store in town turned up no tall, sturdy shelving 24" wide. These definitely serve my needs and, if I can obtain the last shelf peg, will definitely have been worth the hassle, even though a couple more phone calls are in order (to Safco for the peg and to the freight company to complain about the driver if they can't handle freight this heavy, why do they accept it?)

The shelf unit was delivered on time and in good condition.

It was relatively easy to assemble which was good because we were missing a key page of the instructions.

But the shelf unit is up, fits in with the decor of the Library, and is serving us well.

I searched high and low for a small item to store my kids craft items that would fit into a small space between our chimney and wall and this worked out perfectly! It wasn't too dreadful to put together..me and my husband did this. Very sturdy, I am sure we will still be using this for other items when we are done using it for crafts. Pretty sure it's a permanent fixture now. It really has been the prefect thing for us and I know I couldn't have found anything better for what we needed. SO glad we found it. My only complaint is that I didn't like having to set up a delivery time for the company to deliver it (they gave me the time of between 10 and 3) but they delivery people were SUPER friendly and ended up working with me to drop it off without someone present, I just had to leave a note with my signature. I also like having so many shelves and all but one is easily moved or removed to make larger or smaller spaces between shelves. Just love it.

Piper 60" TV Stand

Piper 60' TV StandThis is perfect for my 60 inch plasma tv! Easy to put together. Just needed help to center the panels when putting on the top piece which is heavy. Very heavy. Looks great! I like that it isn't just plain black. Shows a little bit of wood grain all over. Is made from particle board, but heavy and doesn't feel or look cheap. Great price too!

FURINNO Q3Y46-E Nihon Contemporary 52-Inch TV Entertainment Center

FURINNO Q3Y46-C Nihon Contemporary 52-Inch TV Entertainment Center, Cherrywas a bit skeptical about ordering after reading 1st review; however, took a leap of faith since I was desperately looking for a very low profile media center for my kids play room to fit in a "nook". Product is not solid wood; however, I did not expect it to be. for the price, very well made, easy to put together and looks great too! It literally took me less than 20 minutes to put together, which I was very happy about. For price I paid I could not be happier!

I was really disappointed with this product. When the product arrived to my condo, the box was open. This caused considerable damage sides of the top and bottom panel. Also, the picture on amazon shows that the unit stands on wooden legs that extend from the bottom panel. The unit that I received came with black pegs that you place at the bottom of the unit for legs. Lastly, the finish on the top and bottom panels was faulty. There were gaping spaces were you could actually see the particle board.

Even with all of the problems, I was still going to attempt keep the unit. I think what finally pushed me over is when I attempted to put the unit together and the pegs would not fit on the bottom panel. I called amazon to initiate a return and I will be sending this unit back tomorrow.

I was sent new unit by customer service and now the picture on the site matches the actual unit that was sent to me.

This unit arrived with no physical damage to the packaging, however, there were few digs on the actual pieces. For example, the board that goes on the back of the unit was slightly bent and the drawers had few scratches on them. The finish on the top and bottom panels was a lot better this time but the finish still lifts on the corners and exposes some of the particle board.

I was able to somewhat assemble the unit. However, I am missing some pieces. I am missing all 4 pieces that make up the sides of the drawers.

Again, customer service was really friendly and accommodating , but I don't think that the actual product was worth the hassle. At this point, I really could not give a positive recommendation on this product. I give the product and the experience 2 stars.

Ladder Tv Stand

Bernards Pecan Finish Ladder TV Stand with 2-ShelfI purchased this product (and the matching shelves) and they look great in my living room. They are easy to assemble and to move when I want to rearrange furniture. I would recommend this product to anyone because it looks nice and will last a long time. I have seen some of the reviews with this stand and the matching shelves about misleading advertising....... All I can say is make sure you read and understand what you are buying. If you purchase this stand you will not be disappointed.

This ad is very deceiving, you see the photo of the entire wall unit and to me, it seemed that is what i was buying.

Now, I have a TV stand and am having a hard time finding the two bookshelves, to go with it.

Other companies that list this item either show it by itself, or have a better description in their listings.

Not happy with the misunderstanding

Badger Basket Company Sleigh Style Changing Table with Hamper/3 Baskets

Badger Basket Company Sleigh Style Changing Table with Hamper/3 Baskets in NaturalI put this item together myself in about an hour with no help and I'm 9 months pregnant. It probably would have gone by faster if i had a little help holding up the sides though. Anyway, i love this changing table. You will probably want to purchase a thicker changing pad but the one that comes with it works too. The drawers slide in and out easily (they're made of cloth type material) and the hamper is very spacious. I hung a diaper depot thingy (i purchased separately) on the side that holds diapers and creams and things, which is very handy. It doesn't take up a huge amount of space either.. .and unlike the previous review i read, there is no smell whatsoever to my changing table. It smelled "new" for about a day or so which wasn't unpleasant at all. And i have a terribly sensitive nose, pregnant or not.

I rate this product 5 stars because it's really cool, inexpensive, extremely useful... and stylish!

There were no problems with the shipping, and no noticeable cosmetic damage to the product.

I ordered this changing table in cherry, and it is VERY dark.

When assembling this item, don't bother using the pegs that are supposed to help position screws/provide extra support. They break very easily and essentially serve no purpose. A couple of pieces weren't labled correctly, specifically the end posts. So, after assembling the changing table, I had to disassemble it because I had accidentally put the end posts on the wrong sides. By that time, I was extremely aggravated and wanted to smash the entire thing because it had taken such a long time to assemble in the first place (due to trying to accomodate the screws AND pegs). The actual table top itself is about 1/8", but it doesn't feel too flimsy because of the support provided by the partitiions that separate the hamper and the drawers. The changing pad itself is very thin, and the safety belt is ... of poor quality. If you had wanted to get a different changing pad, the strap will not accomodate this, as it is too short to do so. It also pulls apart very easily.

Overall, this table seems sturdy enough. I'm 5'8" and it came up to around mid-pelvis. I haven't used it yet, as I'm only 7 months along. The product is around the lower end of quality for what you are paying, not to mention the hassle of assembly...

I bought this for my second child and love it. The storage baskets are perfect for diapers and wipes, receiving blankets and little socks, hats and shoes. And having the clothes hamper right there is so convenient. It's sturdy and classic looking. The only problem I had was that we were missing a few of the wooden pieces when I went to assemble it but they were really easy to get after going on the website. They shipped them to us for free and were there within a week.

DaVinci Emily Changing Table II

DaVinci Emily Changing Table II, EspressoTook me about 45 minutes to put this together with being cautious (first baby furniture item I put together). Very happy with the design. I questioned the durability of the shelf and table bottoms (the flat pieces) and posed a question to the group of people here on Amazon who bought it before and they assured me it is very durable. I put 4 stars still being cautious, but I will up it to 5 stars once it is baby tested! I bought a DaVinci crib too (Jame 4-in-1) and found that to be even easier to put together and very sturdy materials.

This changer isn't fancy, but it does the job. It was easy to assemble by myself at 8mos pregnant. Here's what I like about it: deep roomy drawer, the bars on the side are great for hanging caddies, towels, etc. (I made two fabric pockets that fasten over them with velcro, but you could also use a storebought fabric diaper caddy); the shelves are nice and roomy; the flat pad is actually really nice because you can set your wipes and other supplies on the surface, unlike the contoured pads; a thin but serviceable pad is included, and a king size pillowcase fits it perfectly.

The only con (especially for the price) is that it scratches pretty easily. I use baskets on the shelves, and on the shorter shelf, where the basket doesn't have has much clearance, has gotten really scratched up. If you're using baskets, you might want to cover the bottoms in felt or choose a soft or smooth-bottomed basket to avoid scuffs.

While I'm happy with this changer, I've since decided to get one of the very wide types that have room both for a changing pad and a whole extra area for supplies (I cloth diaper, so my stash takes up more room), but I don't regret getting this changer because the open shelves will serve well with the baskets to hold toys and linens.

I really love this changing table! It ended up matching the crib I had purchased 4 years ago which really made me happy. The price is excellent, I bought this from the Cymax store and it was a great price and free shipping. No missing parts and no flaws with the wood. I am 8 months pregnant and I was able to put this this together with my 3 year old "helping" me and I got it done in 30 minutes! The instruction manual is super easy to follow. The 3 baseboards are a little flimsy, but you screw in a metal bar that goes under each baseboard and it keeps it sturdy. I would recommend this product, hassle free and very cute! It also comes with a changing table pad which I didn't realize when I bought it. :)
