Five-tier Wall Unit Corner Rack/Stand Dark Walnut Finish Wood

Five-tier Wall Unit Corner Rack/Stand Dark Walnut Finish WoodI purchased a Coaster 5 tier corner wall unit through vision decor. The item arrived with the finish peeling and cracked on the edges and was of extremely poor quality, very unstable. Do not use it to display valuable objects. The finish was to be dark walnut but was very red in color. All that being said, it suited my purposes so I decided to keep it. Upon assembly it was missing one small part. I contacted Coaster who in turn said I needed to contact Visiondecor-that was April 4th. Since then I have received nothing but a runaround "the person who handles the replacements parts is no longer with the company", Coaster is not responding etc. It has now been over 2 months and Visiondecor is not even responding to my emails. Buyer Beware!!!!!!

The item was received just as described. I am very happy with it. It fits perfectly, where I intended to put it.

You need to know that it is not dark walnut, its a cherry color. I knew this risk when I bought it because of the other reviews, took my chances and it was not dark. Other than that, it is nice, it came with all the necessary parts and it was easy to put together. If you are wanting something in a dark walnut color I would not recommend this for you.

It is as described, but it's not sturdy. Pretty piece, I just wish it was wider, and that the support was stronger, the shelves are tiny...if too much weight is forward it leans forward. Not bad, but not what I was wanting. Hence the 3 stars!

Regalia Glass Shelf in Weathered Brass

Regalia Glass Shelf in Weathered BrassI needed something less obvious in my bathroom. This is long enough to hold all my products, one line only, so it doesn't look so messy. It is 2ft long. It was a pain to put up, but once that was done I really liked it. I used my own drywall anchors, not the set that came with the hardware. Rather than messing around with a level, I use regular tape and run it from one screw point to the other and draw a dot on each end where I need the anchors to go. Then I put it on the wall and level it out. MUCH easier to move a piece of tape than drill 9 different holes in 3 different ares before you get it even.

Winsome Wood Drop-Leaf Kitchen Cart

Winsome Wood Drop-Leaf Kitchen CartI bought this kitchen cart because the two drop leaves come down when not in use, but completely opens up to a usable extra counter space when needed. One or two people can lift up one or both of the drop leaves and eat off the newly created 'table top' if you have bar stool height chairs to sit on. The wheels are very heavy duty and easy to roll around where needed. It was easy enough to put together, but at times it helps to have another person hold up a piece or use another piece of furniture to help hold up an end while trying to screw certain pieces together. You have to pay attention that all pieces stay square as you proceed to screw the whole thing together. I didn't have to adjust or cut anything to make it fit. The top was not oiled well, so I bought tung oil and re-applied to the entire top. The manufacturer suggests you oil every once in awhile to keep water from warping the wood. It took the oil well and I got all the missed areas. The drawer is a nice size and can hold utensils and boxed plastic storage bags. The cabinet area is spacious and can fit pots and pans, canned or boxed goods, etc..

This butcher block is nothing short of wonderful. It is both beautiful and functional; the outside leaves are a cinch to pull up, and designed well so that they stay up, stay completely steady, and are able to hold considerable weight. The drawer and small cabinet beneath have been extremely useful, as is the open space between the top and the cabinets. The hardware is surprisingly nice, and the little towel rack on the back is handy. It looks much more expensive than it is. Now, for the down-side. Yes, assembly is both confusing, frustrating, and difficult. It comes with a couple of pages that must be deciphered, but, if taken slowly, and patiently, can be figured out. It absolutely takes two people to assemble it, and even then it can feel like acrobatics at a few points. There was a time or two my fiancé and I truly believed that it was not going to fit together. Still, despite the 45 minutes or so of figuring the pictures out and a few circus moves, it was all more than worth it. (If I would have thought of it at the time, I would have put easy to follow directions online, and it may not be too late.) Once again, though, I will say that the short time of frustration was nothing against the pleasure and usefulness this product has provided. The legs and top are made of solid wood, and as I mentioned, the handles are a classy, elegant brushed metal. One word of caution as to assembly: when you hammer in the wheels, don't let the exhilaratiosteal of finally rounding that last assemblage curve steal your focus. Stay mindful, because only two of the wheels lock, and you will want them placed diagonally to one another if you want to lock the cart in place. (In other words, learn from our mistake.) This is a good buy, and has been both a life saver and an esthetic improvement for our kitchen. I recommend it highly!

Despite the very critical reviews I purchased this product because of the excellent design. I ordered from Amazon and immediately checked the parts against the part list. ...It was like winning the lottery; all the parts were included.

This should be advertised as a "green product". No trees died to create this cart. Recycled wood was cleaned and expertly jointed (mated). So, grain and color may vary a bit but there's real craftsmanship in the process.

Assembly took my wife and I just over an hour. I did check the fit of each part before fastening. I did have to trim one set of dowel pegs as they were too long to permit a tight fit. I am so pleased that every screw hole lined up perfectly. No problem with assembly. .... At one point I wound string between a pair of legs as a temporary clamp which can easily be done by anyone lacking an additional set of hands to hold things in place.

The cart looks great. For an additional $800 you could have a cart made from new wood, but that's not necessary. The price (from Amazon with free shipping) is right. I am thinking of ordering a second cart for camp.

Cart recieved damaged was left on my porch in a box that fell apart. Someone noted the damages on the side of the box, but delivered it anyway.

Did not get help from vendor, manufacturer or shipping company.

Parts were cracked and there was no assembly instructions in the package again recieved no help from vendor or manufacturer. There are no instructions online either.

Nice cart with quality wood, casters, etc. Looks like it will hold up to heavy duty use. I purchased it to put a small charcoal grill on top. One problem, it did not ship with instructions nor are there online instructions.

InterDesign Twillo 3-Tier Corner Shelf, Bronze

InterDesign Twillo 3-Tier Corner Shelf, BronzeThis is a very pretty, well made shelf. I have one complaint....the feet were placed on the outside of the shelf. This keeps the shelf from fitting snugly into a corner.

This is a great little shelf for a small bathroom. I had been looking for awhile & this shelf is well built & reasonably priced.

Shelf Clips for Vertical Support Pole

Shelf Clips for Vertical Support PoleInstalled a new pole to help support a pantry shelf and utilized these clips on that pole. Not sure if a kid tried to climb the shelf or it was overloaded but had two of these break on me. Metal ones have not had any issues. Prefer the metal clips over these as they allow you to replace them without removing the entire pole, a task that can be a pain in the buttskie if you have a bunch of things on the shelf and it won't support the weight if you remove that pole... the metal ones can be inserted and removed with the pole in place.

The metal Schulte pole clips are part #: 1445667033

Just what I needed to replace broken one, visited local stores and could not find them so searched on-line for them

Spectrum GL9030OPKIT Wallscapes Glacier 12 by 36 by 3/8-Inch, Opaque Glass, Shelf KitSuch a minimalistic and simple design, it's hard to imagine you can load this shelf up with weight, but you certainly can. I mounted into studs, and it isn't going anywhere.

Very discreet and clean looking and very functional.

Perfect!

Badger Basket Diaper Corner Changing Table

Badger Basket Diaper Corner Changing Table, CherryWe bought this based on shape and reviews. We use it for an 18 month old and newborn, and it's great for both. The shape fits into corners and gives you an easier angle to do the 'job'. The shelves are convenient for storing and keeping handy all diaper and clothing changing equipment, even though some will complain they are thin, flimsy boardswe are taking about diapers, not a garage for cars.

The shape makes for a very stable table, and the mat fits on nicelyalthough the screws to attach it to the table are not too lasting. But then again, where would the mat run?

All in all a great changing table, with the only change I would make would be to enclose the storage shelves so the older children wouldn't have a field day undoing all your organizing.

I honestly don't know how people change their babies with the table facing sideways like almost all of the other tables on the market are arranged. Once you try this setup, you'll immediately see that it is far and away the best way to approach diaper changes. Yes, like the other reviewers, mine came with some broken parts, but the customer service was good and they sent out the replacements right away. The person who said the table was wobbly obviously doesn't have it pushed into the corner as it is designed to be, because the walls make it almost impossible for it to wobble if it is put together correctly. Either way, I'd suffer through a whole lot more than some broken parts and a little wobble in order to have the only table on the market that has the baby facing you this way--changing diapers with the baby facing any other way simply makes no sense once you've used this table.

If this hadn't been on sale, with free shipping, and an overall good buy, I would have given this much lower than a 4. I found that it was easy to put together, but mine is in pieces and needs some "fixing", so the quality isn't, in my estimation, that great. The lips on the shelves (very flimsy) all came off. Every single one. The staples aren't straight, so I can't just pop them back on.

I've changed my nearly 2 year old on it (she's under 30 lbs) and it is a very sturdy product. I haven't figured out how to organize stuff on it, because I too have an older child in everything. I wish the company offered an extra cover for the changing pad. Since it is a specially sized mat, you have to order it from the company, and I don't feel 16$ is worth the thin poor quality cover that comes with it.

Yes, it was flat-packed to the extreme, which meant one of the pieces arrived broken. So why am I giving it 5 stars?

Pros:

great price (we paid about $130 for it) and free shipping

the instructions came with info of how to order (for free) any unsatisfactory pieces the whole process was automated (online), hassle-free and fast; the replacement piece arrived within a week;

assembly was easy (but then, I have a lot of IKEA experience ;)

the shape means there's room for essentials on the same level as the changing pad, which means no reaching underneath or around during diaper changes

comes with safety strap (yes, yes one hand on the child at all times, but we're first-time parents and appreciate any help)

the pad screws to the table (through the straps), so it doesn't slide around at all

easy product registration (mail or online)

compact (we have a very small nursery and that really matters)

accessible (easy to just walk up to, diaper pail can be placed right next to it without being in the way, great to be face-to-face with the kiddo while dealing with the "business" end from the easiest angle)

color matches other brands (perfect with birch cribs from IKEA and the size matches their Gulliver better than the Gulliver table itself!)

Cons:

flimsy side shelves (but then, they were so easy to just drop into slots, and don't really need to be any sturdier; and we can always glue them down later on)

flimsy, rectangular pad cover (it just doesn't fit a pointed pad, though at a push it can be stretched over it; I just made my own covers and don't consider that a drawback at all)

Somebody's mentioned that already, but it was really good advice: assemble in the nursery. Otherwise, you may not be able to get it through the door.

Overall, super happy with the purchase.

EDIT: after 3 months of actually using the table and having compared it to others (while visiting with our baby), I'd like to add:

the height seems more comfortable than others (I'm 5'7" and find most top-of-a-chest-of-drawers changing tables too high to access easily)

the side areas make it not only more comfortable for storing wipes and creams, but also provide extra safety buffer zone I feel much more comfortable changing my baby facing me with extra shelving around him, than sideways on friends' tables having to press myself against the table to make sure he doesn't accidentally slip off with one sudden movement

con: side inserts are not moisture-resistant any water left to dry will make the laminate bubble up, and oil seeps underneath and stains if that kind of thing bothers you, consider sticking some self-adhesive vinyl over the side inserts before use

I read reviews before buying and decided upon this one because of the angle of the baby and the angled sides made me feel more secure that my baby would not fall off. I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I have been using this table for 6 months and it has held up great. My 2 year old is over 30 lb. and he fits on it. I found baskets that fit the 2 middle shelves PERFECTLY!!!! They are the Seagrass V-Weave Basket (LARGE) from World Market. I can get 2 weeks worth of diapers and wipes for both my kids in one basket and the other one I put blanket, rags, and clothes I need on hand. Love this table, just wish I would of bought it when my first child was born.

RTA Home and Office TVM-021 Glass and Aluminum Clear Tempered Glass Plasma/LCD TV Stand with Wire M

RTA Home and Office TVM-021 Glass and Aluminum Clear Tempered Glass Plasma/LCD TV Stand with Wire ManagementI ordered this item because of two excellent reviews and it looked great in picture. I think the TV cart may still turn out to be good but I had horrible problem trying to assemble it.

First of all, the packing material is terrible. Some of styrofoam panels were paper thin & severely frayed. As a result, as soon as I opened the box, pieces of styrofoam flew out like feathers and made a big mess all over the place.

More importantly, several crucial pieces are missing without which you can neither complete the assembly nor run to local hardware store to buy a replacement! I can understand one missing screw but a whole panel & it's fasteners??

The so-called assembly instructions are woefully inadequate and, get this, do not give any contact information about the manufacturer!

I guess I will try to contact the retailer (not Amazon) for help.

I got online to give this item ZERO stars. My husband and I were putting it together and nothing was labeled. The directions are poor. BUT once we put it together, it is wonderful. It is sturdy, gorgeous looking and was just what we wanted. So we give it 5 stars even though it gave us a minor headache to put it together. It is definitely worth the effort.

A good, sturdy, attractive stand. As another reviewer said, it may give some a bit of a think when trying to put it together (although that may vary by your spatial capabilities; I, personally, didn't have any problems, although that wasn't by help of the instructions). But I've been exceptionally pleased with mine, having owned it for a few months now; mine holds a 40" HD television and is more than capable of taking this weight, although of course the stand isn't as wide as the tv. I would certainly recommend it to others who are looking for a simple sturdy yet elegant glass stand of this size.
