New Visions by Lane 394-022 Kitchen Island, White and Maple

New Visions by Lane 394-022 Kitchen Island, White and MapleThis kitchen cabinet really met our expectations.

The size is decent and the price is awesome. I saw the same product on a different website for around 50 more dollars.

Just bare in mind: the cabinet doesn't have shelves inside. It's a large open space.

My husband put it together in around an hour and he says that the quality of the material is not too bad.

I would def. recommend this.

The good;

Reasonable size, low price, free shipping, has drawer and cabinet plus shelves. Drawer slides are decent quality.

The bad:

I am an engineer and I found the assembly directions at times confusing and in one case incorrect. (The drawer's slides attach from underneath not from the side as shown.) And, I had to mark and drill new holes to lower the drawer slides inside the cabinet by 1/8 inch to avoid it rubbing against the top when it closed.

Could have been better:

The cabinet could have used an adjustable shelf inside. The top surface could have been made from a thicker material.

Overall:

For the money not bad. But not great either.

This island looks good, but the "laminate" is a thin plastic film that can easily be cut or melted. The second day I had it, the plastic started coming off. It no longer looks good. I think you should make customers aware of this.

I was looking for an island with a drawer that was large enough to cut on and use to prep a meal. And since I was buying all the furniture for the new house, I needed it to be cheap. It is functional and cheap. The size is great and it is nice to have a drawer.

Putting this thing together was very difficult. It was a 2-day process. AND the pieces did not fit in place well. The drawer bumps the counter everytime you push it back in. The cupboard bumps the drawer when you close it. And the sidewall on the cupboard end did not fit snuggly together so there is a bit of space between it and the back of the cupboard.

It looks alright in the kitchen, but the back is not attractive at all. There were a few dings in it when it arrived, but again I bought it for function. And the counter has some spots where it looks like the laminate was repaired. Note: do not put hot things on the counter. I did accidently and there is now a bit of evidence of that.

I would buy this product again just because the price was right and it serves it's function as a temporary island. If I wanted something to stick around for a long time, I would not purchase this product again, but spring for a higher priced-higher quality product.

I am very pleased with this purchase, the directions were very clear and it went together in no time at all. There's lots of storage room and it fits nicely right beside the window. I'll pry glue 4 wooden blocks inside the bottom corners and put it on wheels for convenience rolling it around, but it's great just the way it is!

Enitial Lab August 4-Shelf Shoe Cabinet, Walnut and Black

Enitial Lab August 4-Shelf Shoe Cabinet, Walnut and BlackFor a $100 one can't expect to buy a great piece of furniture. And this isn't one. It's acceptable. However, one of the parts (part "H") came predrilled with 4 holes, all of which should have been the same diameter. They weren't. The wooden pins that connect the top shelf and the back wouldn't fit because those two holes were too small. You can enlarge them if you have a drill, but keep in mind that this isn't solid wood.

The instructions aren't clear which holes should be used when installing drawers, so you're left to guess which one out of 3 is the right one. I started at the wrong end and ended up doing it three times.

Handles are made of very, very cheap and flimsy plastic.

***NOTE***: One thing everyone buying Enitial Lab furniture (I own 3 pieces of their furniture) should know is that their instructions are almost worthless. You will need them, though, but boy will they frustrate you....

Sauder Graham Hill Utility Stand 407803

Sauder Graham Hill Utility Stand 407803The stand is awesome and is very easy to put together. The packaging was extensive so there were no scratches or anything.

This is a perfect stand for our home printer, and it was not too difficult to assemble for one person.

Buy Sauder Graham Hill Utility Stand 407803 Now

I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I think this fit not only my need of a printer stand that would not look out of place in a family room, but it also was built sturdy...it feels and looks like part of our furniture. When I went to wireless printers I did not take advantage of the fact I could put the printer anywhere...it was not tethered to one spot. Once we purchased new furniture we ordered the stand. It is unobtrusive were it is situated yet everyone has easy access with their laptops to get their printing done. It did not take long to assemble especially if you are used to putting these types of units together. I highly recommend the Sauder Graham Hil Utility Stand to anyone in the market for such an item.

Stork Craft Aspen with Drawer Dressing Table

Stork Craft Aspen Changing Table with Drawer, NaturalDo not purchase Storkcraft products. I checked everything and Storkcraft rated so well in safety, but getting a product that looks new is impossible. We have to keep returning our Storkcraft products because they are shipped broken. The pieces that are not broken are poor quality for example, the finish is sloppy and does not cover the whole piece. Unless you want to pay full price for a nursery that looks like it was put together from a cheap garage sale, stay way from Storkcraft. This may be why Babys R Us does not carry much of this anymore.

We just assembled this last night and so far so good! It looks great in person I love the sleigh look of it. It seems like good quality although we have not used it yet since baby is not here yet. The drawer seems sturdy and will come in handy. The only thing is the two shelves are made out of a semi-flimsy white material (not wood) but when you secure the shelves in the wood sides, they are very sturdy. Once you put items on the shelves you don't notice them either. I think most changing tables use the same materials for the bottom shelves.

Also warning do not buy a contoured changing pad with this! It comes with a thin, but perfect fit changing pad and strap. We bought the contoured changing pad thinking that would work but it's too high for the top (covers the nice scalloped design on the back) and you can't screw in the pad because of that scalloped thing. You need a changing table dresser or one that has no decorative piece on the top in order to fit a contoured pad.

The only thing that I found wrong with this so far is that when I recieved it, it was broke. The left hand bar at the end of the table was broke, and the dowel was stuck in the spot wher it should have been. My husband had to bore out the spot where it should be placed and then replace the dowels. It looked like someone had previously had the changing table and returned it and they sent it out to whom ever ordered it again next.

I purchased the Aspen Stages Crib (Cherry) also. So I purchased this changing table and the Beatrice Armoire to match. When I received it I was VERY pleased. It had a minor scuff on the front of the left arm, but it wasn't a big enough deal to me to send back for another one. It is absolutely beautiful and matches my crib wonderfully. The drawer is great. I love that I can hold things in it without them being visible on the shelves. The pad seems to be comfortable and the strap is easily removable for those that don't want it. On the other hand, it screws in underneath the top panel so it won't come off on its own. Overall, the changing table is very sturdy. Well worth the money. (...)

Want Stork Craft Aspen with Drawer Dressing Table Discount?

I ordered the Aspen crib, Beatrice Combo Unit, the Hutch and the Aspen changing table. For some reason it took 7 weeks to get the changing table, while the rest of the furniture got here in about a week. I would definitely suggest ordering this particular furniture early. For some reason this line has problems from time to time and backorders their product.

The package was in great condition and all the pieces were undamaged. I did notice a few small nicks and scarves, but nothing to really notice once the table was put together.

Once you put the table together it looks great. It is very sturdy and very beautiful. It looks good with the other furniture.

I didn't rate it 5 stars because the directions on the table are not 100% easy to read, and I found this piece to be the hardest to put together from this collection. I also didn't like the fact that they used plastic pieces to align the furniture, because a few of them broke when I was assembling the unit. Also the changing pad is a bit thin and from other reviews I gathered that buying an additional changing pad doesn't really work.

Upside:

* Looks absolute beautiful and matches the other furniture from the line well.

* Very sturdy, doesn't look or feel as flimsy as some other changing tables.

* The draw is very functional, great place for storing diapers and receiving blankets away from dust.

* You can easily attach a diaper station to the side of the table, with easy access and no fear of the table collapsing.

* The two bottom shelves, though appear thin, are very sturdy and allow for great storage option. Wicker baskets look great on the shelves.

Downside:

* Directions could have been better.

* I had problems with a couple of the screws, one never screwed in properly and will have to be replaced.

* The plastic spacers that hold the wood together break easily and because the shape is different on the two sides would be very difficult to replace.

Overall once you are done you have a GREAT looking changing table. I am not sorry I bought it.

Insect Repellent Paper Color: Trellis

Insect Repellent Paper Color: TrellisI have used this paper for over 50 years. First in my mothers home in the San Fernando Valley in the 1950's, and in my own home for the last 37 years.

It is easy to use, comes in pretty designs, and it repels insects for about a year.

This product is a must have for anyone that lives is a humid area where pantry pests can be a problem.

I'm with DeLyn from California. I too lived in CA until recently and have used this or (no bugs m'lady) my whole life since I left home at 18 (I'm now 64). My mom used it forever before me. Yes, it is a little overpowering (smelly) when first put down but it really works. No one in our family has died yet from using it (if you can even find it!!) Yes, I have gotten very environmentally conscious over the years but this is one product I will never skimp on-if continued to have the choice. We even used to put our drinking glasses upside down on the paper and never any problems, although I dont do this anymore-don't have to, nothing gets in them. I bought some when I fist moved to Oregon 6 years ago and ran out--cant find it anywhere anymore except here--thank goodness. So sick of finding creepy crawlers in my stuff-disgusting! If the smell is too much just keep cabinet drawers open for a day or so. I cant wait to get this and re-do my cabinets and pantry. Thank you Amazon and Kittrich and whoever else responsible for having this available. What can we do to get this back in circulation? I'm afraid its fading from the marketplace.

Im sure they work to keep pest away from the food but they smell so bad I didn't want to keep them where the food would be. So now they line the laundry/tool room shelves. Not really what I needed.

Sanus Systems NFAV230-B1 Natural Furniture Series 30-Inch Wide 4-Shelf A/V Stand

Sanus Systems NFAV230-B1 Natural Furniture Series 30-Inch Wide 4-Shelf A/V Stand
  • Accommodates medium-size televisions & A/V components
  • Adjustable tempered-glass shelves with polished edges
  • Wire management systems helps keep cables concealed & organized
  • Open architecture for airflow over A/V components
  • Solid construction

I ordered this stand for my bedroom. We have a 40" Sony XBR2 LCD TV, a cable box and Tivo DVR and were looking for a stand that would fit in a corner and would be high enough that one could watch easily from bed. I came across this stand and liked the styling as well as the fact that it is a bit higher than typical stands. The stand comes packed well and none of the pieces were damaged in transit (although the packaging showed that it endured a rough trip!). It was easy to assemble and I have to say it looks great. Our bedroom furniture is similar in color and style and the stand fits right it. I am very pleased.

Rubbermaid Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit

Rubbermaid 3H89 Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit, TitaniumI have used all three of these. I first bought the Elfa (Container Store) for one bedroom. It was extremely expensive. Spent 5 times more than the others for something very simple. Everything is cut for you once you have the measurements. It is very sturdy and very well made, of course. It is probably over kill for a closet organizer. They have a lot of nice accessories for it and can be dressed up to look nicer than the others. Biggest negative which really surprises me since Closetmaid and Rubbermaid doesn't have this problem is you can't slide a hanger all the way across.

My next project was using Rubbermaid. I liked the idea it was adjustable. It was very easy to install. I bought the delux 8 feet kit. One problem is you will sometimes have left over parts and in my case I also had to buy one extra part since the way I wanted it was a little different that what options you had with their kit. After installing it I found I just didn't need to change it, so the adjustability probaly was not a plus for me but some people may want to make changes after using it for awhile. Biggest negative which really isn't a negative is that it is flimsy compared to the Elfa which is like a tank. That is because it is adjustable but it is sturdy enough. I have no problems with that. Another possible negative is it only comes with 12 inch shelves for closets. If you really need something bigger you can go into their garage sections which has 16 inches shelves.

My last project was Closetmaid. I used Closetmaid for my wife's closet since she wanted 16 inch shelves and I didn't feel it needed to be adjustable. Now if you don't want to be doing your own cutting which can be a chore without the right tools then go with Rubbermaid. But I have the right tools so cutting was not a problem. I bought mine at Lowe's. If you have all your measurements you can do the cutting their. They have a bolt cutter that cuts right through it. I did all my cutting at home since I have bolt cutters and metal saws. I like Closetmaid since it was sturdier than Rubbermaid and I just buy what I need. It also has a nice selection of accessories from wire drawers to shoe organizers. What I really liked is their clothes hamper. It pulls out on a slide then pushes in after you throw your dirty clothes in.

Now the surprise is the vertical hangers for all three companies all have the same slot design. How the verticals hang on the wall is differnt but once you have the vertical hangers secured you can interchange most accessories. I can install shelf supports for any company on any one of the vertical hangers. So I used the Closetmaid clothes hamper in my Rubbermaid closet. Closetmaid shelf supports and shelves will fit on the Rubbermaid or Elfa vertical hangers and vice versa.

If money is not a concern then buy the Elfa, built like a tank will last forever and looks better than the others with the right accessories.

Rubbermaid is the least sturdy of the three but does the job. It is very easy to put up so if your not handy around the house then buy this one. You also can easily make changes to how you want the shelves organized much more so that the other two. If you want 16 inch shelves then look at their garage organizers, the system is the same.

I like Closetmaid but it does require more work to put up since you have to do all the cuttings. It is much sturdier than Rubbermaid since it is meant to be permanent once you put it in. Shelves snap in place which took some effort and would be difficult to remove. Rubbermaid has a simple slide to lock shelves in so you can makes changes easily but then again you give up some sturdiness.

Update 12/12/2011

After having used all three systems for almost three years I can say all of them hold up well. I haven't had any problems so my original feeling that Rubbermaid tend to be flimsy is still not a problem. I don't think you can go wrong with Rubbermaid and it is very easy to put up and being adjustable gives you room to customize the way you want it. Having parts left over is more of a mental problem because the cost of the kit is still probably cheaper than buying each part by itself even with the left over parts or you can try using all of it. Also as I said before you can use Closetmaid accessories with Rubbermaid and although I like my Closetmaid clothes hamper it did fall apart which was replaced by Lowe's at no cost.

I recently did my daughters closet using Rubbermaid but these were not adjustable. You buy what you need and cut to fit (Home Depot). These being not adjustable felt much sturdier. I did find putting in the shelves to be easier than Closetmaid. Closetmaid shelves snap in and are very tight. The Rubbermaid ones were just easier in that it has a slide that locks the shelves in place but Rubbermaid is more expensive than Closetmaid so you pay for this one feature.

I wanted to post a review that addresses why a lot of people look into Rubbermaid Configurations to get a cheaper, comparable version of Elfa shelving. Some on here claim that this is just like Elfa, minus Elfa's high price. That's how I found out about Configurations and compared the two.

The problem was, my fiancee and I had already looked at Elfa shelving with the Container Store closet designer and had that system on our minds when I started looking at Configurations. It's not quite apples to apples as some people claim.

To look at the system, I ripped open a box at Target. Three things I noticed that made this system different.

1. Some of the smaller pieces are plastic. Elfa is all metal/steel. Granted its not the pieces that "count" i.e. the tracks, shelving. But its not quite the same quality.

2. The shelves are a foot deep at most, and there are no other options. With Elfa you have the option of getting deeper shelves and yes, for some folded clothes those extra inches matter.

3. As some on here have noted, for full closet systems you may end up buying two sets of the Configurations systems in order to get all the pieces you need. But I priced what I would have needed at around $200, which was $100 less than the comparable Elfa system for my closet.

This system is fine for kitchen, garage, office, kids room organization for this, Elfa is probably overkill. But for a master clothes closet, the shelf depth was the killer. I ended up biting the bullet and buying Elfa.

If you think this might work for a clothes closet, my suggestion would be to visit Container Store and get a closet layout from a consultant there. Then take that list and see how many Configurations sets you need for the same layout. You'll probably come out ahead cost wise. If you wait until Elfa is 30% off around the holidays, though, the gap will narrow.

Also worth mentioning is that the Configurations platinum system (and of course white) look very similar to the untrained eye to Elfa. So another option is to use this as your shelving and invest your money in the Elfa stand up drawer units to complete the closet. These are where the real expense is. But a combination of the two will give you a pretty killer closet.

My wife and I were looking for an open closet and got some quotes from MDF and wood closet makers. The ones that we cared for were above $800!

This system looks OK and is easy to install. We went for the Deluxe Kit, and we got some accessories too: two wire baskets and a trouser hanger. Everything was below $500.

It took me 12 hours (not one as other lucky reviewer), but that includes removing all the clothes from the other closet, removing the other closet, going to the hardware shop to buy a 3/8" drilling bit and anchors for masonry wall (ours is not drywall), drilling the masonry wall, installing the closet, trying different configurations, going to a Christmas Party in between, installing the accessories AND putting the clothes in the new closet.

Overall, one of the greatest gifts we bought for ourselves this christmas. I'm very happy with it. Yesterday I started rearranging it again to better optimize space.

Some words of advice:

1. The Deluxe kit we got comes with a LOT of shelves. But because we also got the accessories, we couldn't use all the shelves. I wonder if the Classic Kit + Accessories would have suited us better.

2. We got two shoe racks as accesories to this closet system, but returned them the next day (exchanged them for a wire basket). These take up too much space of the closet because you have to put them in the rails. It's simpler to purchase a longer shoe rack separately that you can put on the floor.

Excellent closet kit. We ordered two 4-8' deluxe custom kits. My husband and I each have an 8' closet. Kits were very easy to install. By the time we got to the second closet we were pretty fast. Took about 1 hour to install the second closet system. The closet design is great in that there is no cutting with the exception of the last rail cover. Love that the hangers slide easily, our previous closet "system" only allowed a couple of inches either way. The flexibility of the closet is amazing. We also ordered for my husband the shoe shelves, tie and belt organizer, and two sliding pants racks. For me I ordered three sets of shoe rods, two pants racks, and one sliding basket. We also ordered 3 upright extension rods for each closet due to the number of accessories we ordered. I had so much fun playing around with the expandable hanging rods, the shelves, and all the accessories. I now have my closet organized and I cannot believe how much room I have for everything. I even have "room to grow". I highly recommend this closet system.

Want Rubbermaid Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit Discount?

We started our closet "improvement" by first going to the Closet Maid site & using their "free" online design tool. Being free, it was totally confusing & kluggy to use. So I then used their $5.00 premium online design service, which gave me (2) designs along with a parts list. This is the part that drove me crazy...the parts list was complete, but it directed me to retailers like Home Depot but the disclaimer states that "a particular store might not carry all the parts for your design"!!?? I then asked the CM site if we could order all the parts directly from Closet Maid, only to get an email back stating that their partnership agreement(s) requires them to direct us to Home Depot!! I could not bear the insanity of driving to half a dz. or more Home Depots looking to fill the Closet Maid parts list. Enough said, they eliminated themselves from consideration.

I then came across the Rubbermaid systems on Amazon and after reading the many positive reviews I took the plunge & ordered (2) 4-8 ft. & (2) 3-6 ft. Deluxe Custom Closet Kits to improve our small MB walk-in & my 12yr.'s 6ft. closet.

It took longer than 1 hr., but much less than 12 hrs (you will spent a great deal time measuring, climbing up & down the ladder, switching drill bits for screw tips, etc...), unlike several of the earlier reviews I had read. It took about 6hrs. total this past Friday to install (2) of the 3-6 ft. & (1) 4-8 ft. kits in our approx. 6' x 6' walk-in. The 1st kit took the longest. Once I understood how the first kit worked, I really cranked after that. A few crucial points:

1) Make sure you have a level (I found a 2ft. one worked great!), a good cordless drill with 2 fully charged batteries (if your screws hit studs, which is what you want, it will take a lot of juice)with good phillips screw tips and a sturdy 6' step ladder.

2) Get a 3/8" drill bit....most households typically won't have one larger

than 1/4"...this is the hole size for the sheet rock anchors. I didn't have one either so I had to go get one after opening the box! this is the only thing I had to buy, aside from the extra 25" vertical ext. bars & extra shelves. Rubbermaid also provided more sheet rock anchors than I needed (that's a first!). So unless you have a cinderblock or stainless steel wall in your closet, all the req. parts come in the kits.

3) MAKE SURE THE HORIZONTAL MOUNTING BARS ARE MOUNTED STRAIGHT & LEVEL (first thing that goes up)OR YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT! USE THE LEVEL CONSTANTLY ON ALL THE HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL BARS!. After that, the brackets, shelves & hanging rods just pop in based on your configuration.

4) Buy extra 25" ext. bars, each kit only comes with (2) per kit. You will need the extras if you want to max. use on the kits.

All in all we rate this an excellent product. Quality was excellent (all the parts fit!). Instructions & assembly was clear & easy to follow and was actually fun once you got the hang of it. The Amazon pricing & free delivery made it a clear choice above competitors like Closet Maid & Elfa (The Container Store). And most of all it looks great (metallic/pewter coated finish) & works well. We figured it will take us an hour or so to install the last kit in my daughter's closet. We will definitely use their kits again.

Thanx Rubbermaid & Amazon for "PIMPIN OUR CLOSET"!!

Winsome Wood Syrah TV Stand

Winsome Wood Syrah TV StandOrdered this tv stand to match a set of tables I bought. It took about 30 minutes to assemble and it was fairly easy. The end product was great! I really love it and it looks great! Would definitely recommend, great value for a pretty low price! :)

Overall, a great purchase. The stand is high quality for the price, and was pretty easy to assemble. Looks great in our small living space; not too big or bulky. The frosted glass doors are a nice touch, and the cable box and remote even still work when the doors are closed. I would recommend!

Buy Winsome Wood Syrah TV Stand Now

I bought two units, one for my 40 inch tv that is next to the fireplace and one to place on the other side of the fireplace for balance. They arrived on time, well packaged with all their parts. (If parts were missing, there is a sheet to fillout to request replacement.)

My 13 year old grandson and my 16 year old grandson come over and put them together. The boys had no problem following the picture directions.

The directions say it takes two people and they are right, because one has to hold the shelf while the other screws it in. But for most of the time one person is enough. The first one took about 35 minutes and the second one went faster..

It is the perfect size for my walls. I had been looking around town for one to fit the space...most were too long and too wide. When I saw this unit on Amazon I liked the look and the size was perfect...the price was ok...I didn't know if I wanted to purchase this and have to put it together and take a chance I wouldn't like it. The more I went back to look at it the more I liked it and Amazon prime shipping and their return policy and then I decided to get two to balance the end of the room and for storage. The black TV looks great on the dark unit. There is plenty of room on the shelves for my Roku, dvd player and the HD cable box, with a shelf and a half for controllers, dvds. etc. We were surprized that we could turn the cable box on and off with the door closed.

The only thing I might change is the shiny finger holes ( I don't know what they are called) to open and close the doors. I might paint then black. I'll wait a few weeks to decide.

All and all, I am very pleased with these units.

Just put this together today and love it. No chips or scratches like some of the other users experienced. It took me less than an hour to put together by myself and found it very easy. Love the look. Very good quality for the price and looks just like the picture. Seems very sturdy to me.

Want Winsome Wood Syrah TV Stand Discount?

Now that I finally have this TV stand put together, it looks beautiful and like a much more expensive piece of furniture than it actually is. That said, it was very difficult to assemble (I ended up needing tools that didn't come with it), and still is probably flimsier than it should be. To be fair, it says on the box and in the instructions that they recommend assembly being a two person job, but that's not always an option when one lives alone! Perhaps it would be easier with another helper and/or if someone has more elbow grease than I do!

The other thing that happened for me in particular is that the stand arrived with two chips in the wood. I immediately contacted Bazingaroo, the company from which I purchased the stand (I know it can come from a few sellers), and they were very prompt and extremely agreeable in taking care of the problem (they offered to either let me return the stand or give me a partial refund based on the amount of damage). The customer service with that company is outstanding, and will definitely lead me to purchase from them again if the price is right!

All in all, this item caused a bit of stress, but in the end for such a gorgeous looking affordable piece of furniture, it was probably worth it.

Soho Shelves

Soho Shelf in Blackif your looking for a dvd / blu ray/ video game mantel look no further cause this thing holds at least 50 to 100 cases.

I just couldn't wait to get this. I collect books and I feel that one can never have enough shelves! I currently own 4 full size book shelves and am running out of wall space so this shelf was perfect for me. The size is attractive with larger coffee table books and a couple of vases. I love the espresso color and it really classes up a room. Shipping was on time, not as soon as I would have liked but it was delivered exactly on the date it would arrive. It had easy assembly. I am happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.
