Akro-Mils 30120 RECYSS 12-Inch by 4-Inch by 4-Inch EarthSaver Recycled Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin, S

Akro-Mils 30120 RECYSS 12-Inch by 4-Inch by 4-Inch EarthSaver Recycled Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin, Sandstone, 24-CaseGood product will order again when I need these. I use these in my work truck with the 11 inch bins.

I have used several thousand of this series of Akro bins over the course of 20 years with hardly any failures, even after ridiculously overloading them, ie 10-15 # per bin. I bought 24 of the sandstone, recycled, ones here for $28.00 very recently. It seems to me that recycled ones should be cheaper than the regular ones, ie typically about $1.50 each from Grainger. I had no failures out of the box as previously reported in comments and tried to rough up a few of the new (old) ones. I see no difference in quality at the moment.

On reviewing my purchase, the price on Amazon has now jumped dramatically to the point where recycled ones cost more than new ones. This is absurd. I'll bet the marketing department at Akro thinks the Green market for recycled items is bloated with cash and is stupider and more out of sync than they are. Faskinating, qv.

I don't know if it is because these are made of recycled materials, but these bins will not take much abuse. In the two cases I ordered, four of the 48 bins were cracked. Two of those were completely unusable. And since the shipping boxes were not damaged, my guess is that they left the factory in that condition.

Amazon shipped a replacement order, and it arrived VERY quickly. Great customer service.

Rubbermaid Sort-A-File Sorter, Five Sections, Plastic, 13.375 x 9.125 x 6.375 Inches, Black (48006R

Rubbermaid Sort-A-File Sorter, Five Sections, Plastic, 13.375 x 9.125 x 6.375 Inches, BlackI already own some of these sort-a-files. Never did receive this order since Office Max sent the wrong item twice. I'll look elsewhere for my file sorters.

I'm using this to prop up tablets, iphones, etc. while they are being charged, and it works well for that. I wanted something heavy enough to not move around as devices were shuffled about, and this has done a good job. I have no idea how this actually works for sorting papers, or for filing, but for storing electronic devices for charging, it works like a charm!

Easy Track RA1204 Sliding Valet Wardrobe Rod, White

Easy Track RA1204 Sliding Valet Wardrobe Rod, WhiteNot a lot to say, but it is a great addition to any closet. Very solid construction (even too heavy). But is works great, have ordered a couple of these for my closet.

Works as expected. Nothing particularly spectacular about it to give it a full 5 stars. Nice to setting out the next day's outfit.

It was everything I was hoping: a quality solid product that does what it is supposed to. Mounting was simple and it works great for my closet needs as a suit/laundry service valet.

Bar is solid chrome-plated metal. Housing is well made, powder coated white. Extension length is perfect, and it looks good as well.

Shelf Brackets (Pr.) Small-Hand Made Wrought Iron

Shelf Brackets Small-Hand Made Wrought IronI bought several solid wood shelves from Ikea and wanted some brackets to achieve a sort of french country look for my kitchen. These were perfect; they definitely look more expensive than they were.

These are great brackets. I had been searching a while for some nice sturdy, yet decorative, brackets that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg and wouldn't be overly designed. Other brackets that I've seen have either no style (the basic, somewhat flimsy type that you get from DIY home stores), or there was a bit too much style (the art deco type with lots of swirls and loops). These are basic yet still have a lot of style. What you see is what you get. They also have a nice heft to them. They are in no way flimsy. I would defy anyone to try to bend one of these things with their bare hands. I used mine to create shelving for videos and DVDs; however, with proper mounting these could easily take on the heaviest books. These are a great find. A great price for a quality product.

Trinity 36 x 14 in. Dark Bronze Wire Shelving

Trinity 36 x 14 in. Dark Bronze Wire ShelvingI very much enjoy my shelving rack in my small apartment. It is small enough to fit well, and big enough to hold a lot of stuff (plates, cups, bowls, pots, appliances, etc). I did not have any issues assembling like the previous reviewer. It took me around 20 minutes to assemble. I would recommend some of the other Trinity racks as well.

I highly recommend these shelves for anyone looking to organize a small space. They are extremely easy to set up and to move around. Great shelves.

the sleeves that came with the (3) units I bought FAIL TO STAY IN PLACE, making it IMPOSSIBLE to set and secure the shelves. I have issued a complaint to the seller, so we'll see how that goes. I'd like to toss these into the ocean and sail 'em back to China. Let me further say, however, that I previously purchased units JUST LIKE THESE three from COSTCO and didn't have one bit of trouble. What a waste of my time and energy thinking I could move the sleeves around and get them to lock in to place. YOU have been warned.

Rubbermaid 5E21 FastTrack 48-by-16-Inch Wire Shelf

Rubbermaid 5E21 FastTrack 48-by-16-Inch Wire ShelfThe Rubbermaid product specialist for this FastTrack shelving unit has a total phobia about hanging these shelves alongside the similar Rubbermaid "Configurations" closet shelving sets available at a local "mart" store. The "Configurations" shelves and brackets are the same color and style, but I was vigorously discouraged by the highly trained specialist at Rubbermaid NOT to use them in my garage along with the FastTrack system. Since the wall in my garage is made out of the same material as the wall in my closet, I do not see what the issue is! I have followed the "Configurations" directions to a "T" and have not put more weight on the shelves than what is allowed. Despite her warning that THE SHELVING WILL COLLAPSE (the sky is falling!) it has not done so. Is this a ploy to get people to purchase the more expensive FastTrack system brackets and shelves? I have tons of FastTrack in my garage but the shelving size options are very limited plus the brackets and shelving are much more expensive to order online than if they were available at a local store (which they are not). I get frustrated with a product that is only half available in the store (most of the hanging accessories can be found at a major home store) and the rest (the shelving) has to be purchased online or from the manufacturer. Unforunately, a large amount of the products that I ordered arrived at my home completely damaged by UPS because of Rubbermaid's poor packaging of the larger items. My opinion is that Rubbermaid should make these systems more universal so that it is more widely available AND interchangable from closets to garages. I challenge you to call Rubbermaid with a few questions of your own and see how well they can help you. My experience with two phone calls was one that showed me that they are impatient and lack the information needed to be helpful in any way. Plus the person I dealt with interrupted incessantly rather than listen to my questions. Not exactly what I would consider a specialist. Keep in mind... Amazon makes you return damaged items for replacement as a whole rather than just replace pieces as needed. You will have to give yourself lots of extra time if you plan to purchase these items from them to allow for returns if necessary. You will certainly become a shipping "specialist" once you are done packaging up and shipping back any damaged goods. Good luck!

Overall the shelves themselves look quite nice but what I hadn't realized is that is all they are, shelves. They don't come with the mounting brackets or anything else. It's probably my own fault. I would definitely buy another set if I had room for them, but I would also buy the mounting supplies too.

The brand name is as reliable as ever; but the shipping carton was so flimsy that the end rung at one end was bent. It did bend back and the only objection is that it isn't perfectly straight. However, it does not compromise the use of this high-quality product at all.

Catskill Kitchen Cube

Catskill Craftsmen Kitchen Cube CartThe dead space in the center of our pantry used to have stuff stacked there that would have to be moved whenever I needed something from a bottom shelf. Now it's all on my cart that I can easily pull out. Seems to be very sturdy. Only drawback was the directions. The illustrations didn't make sense until we had it nearly assembled. Had to reassemble (ugh!) but still worth it.

Black Ladder Shelf Storage with Wine Rack

Black Ladder Shelf Storage with Wine RackI bought this item as a Christmas present. After reading reviews, and searching for other possiblities this one won out. The recipent of the gift says it is perfect! I thought the item was priced right, for the features it had and shipped in a very timely manner.

I got this plus two plain units to set on either side of this "Ladder Shelf Storage with Wine Rack". It took me about 2 hours to put all three together. The directions were fairly clear however they didn't consider gravity so some steps were more difficult than necessary. After the first unit I learned some shortcuts and tricks, it got easier. The wine rack unit was the most complicated and delicate, it would have been easier with help, but thats why we have bungee cords, eh? This is not a high-end item and could not withstand heavy use or abuse. Its qualitiy is price appropriate (i got all 3 for less than $150, delivered). I got it for a rec-room that doesn't see much action, a good application I think.

I really liked this piece it arrived pretty quickly and looks great. I read other reviews saying it wasn't sturdy and I completely disagree. It's pretty solid.

The only drawback was it has A LOT of pieces and I felt the directions could have been a bit more user friendly.

Clear Acrylic 3-Tier Cabinet Organizer

Clear Acrylic 3-Tier Cabinet OrganizerGood idea for storage however the steps do not hold the average wide can, so that you can only store small tins, or small bottles or little boxes.

I ordered several of these to put in my china cabinet. My doll collection can now be tiered so that I can see them all. The clear acrylic makes them almost invisible, and the height of each step is perfect for this purpose. Most of my dolls are 8 inches tall. The steps are deep enough for the doll stands, too. Perfect!

Shelves arrived in great condition and promptly. I have been looking for these clear shelves for years. I could only find white or black. The shelves are used to display Hummel figurines. When they are small hummels, they elevate them up so you can see them better over the tiers.

These are wonderful for displaying items in my curio. I am a collector and these are very reasonable for showing them well on a bookshelf or in my curio. The label is the only problem. They do not remove cleanly. If you remove what will come off and then spray the area with cooking spray, or use cooking oil, this removes the rest of it and the glue residue. Then wash thoroughly and shine!

I researched several options for shelving to use to display small items on a bookcase shelf. This was long enough, wide enough, and deep enough to adequately fit and hold all the small items.

Excellent construction and the clear acrylic is a major plus!

Heininger 5560 GarageMate VersaShelf 3 Pack Shelving System

Heininger 5560 GarageMate VersaShelf 3 Pack Shelving SystemOh, how Americans can create great little junky products that work like a million! The set of 3 Heininger shelves are like heroin: You'll need more once you get the first box.

Installs on a wall like a normal, plastic shelf, or on pegboard, which is pretty smart, but best, turn 'em around and they drop dead-center between studs in the garage or anywhere that you have 16" to center studs for fast storage you'll be happy to have. One is a shelf, one is for screwdrivers, and one is for storage. They don't hold much weight (20 lbs, so don't, like, try to put 5 bags of flour on one shelf) but that ensures that your small stuff like a can of oil, WD-40, seeds, filters, baby food jars of screws or car cleaning sprays are safely within reach and easily found.

Baby! Where ya been so long? These are brilliant use of space! Give anybody 3 boxes of these and you'll be a true hero. MY highest kudos for a good, quick-to-mount products that anybody would love.

This is a simple product, at a fair price. It is made in the US, and it's reflected in the price and quality.

It might be a few $$ cheaper if it was made overseas, but it would probably also be thinner and more fragile.

There are 3 shelves that attach to your wall, pegboard or between 16" on center studs.

One is a flat tray, one is a dished tray and the third has holes for holding small screwdrivers, spade bits, etc.

They are small, so they won't hold much. Mine are above my bench and hold small items I want to keep close by and not take drawer space.

Useful, simple, easy to install. An option to buy a large quantity at a discount would help the new garage owner.

We are using these for extra shelving at our automotive repair shop. First thing I noticed when I opened the box was that most of the nubs for hanging on a peg board were all bent and warped. Don't get me wrong, it is great that this item is made in the USA but the quality of construction could use some work. Since we hung the shelves flushed to to a wall, the nubs were not an issue. We "clipped" the nubs off so the back of the shelf would sit flush against the wall. They are handy. The tool holder is great for holding those often used screwdrivers. The standard flat shelf is used to hold lubricating cans and the four pocket shelf is great for holding nuts/bolts and O-rings. Each shelf can hold up to 20 pounds. They are extremely affordable, so if you can get past the deformed peg nubs you won't be disappointment with the shelves versatility.

I've just spent the morning starting the annual garage clean put and reorganization. I have a floor to ceiling pegboard on one wall and it was in desperate need of straightening out. I got these shelves thinking that they would be useful in some way.

First the pros:

Made in the USA (imagine that)

Easy packaging

Easily Installed

The Cons:

Almost too small to be useful in any way. I suppose if you purchased a bunch of them and lined them up together they may be a little more effective. If you are just starting out as a new homeowner and have a few little screws and tools to keep track of this would be OK for you. If you, like me have been a homeowner for 35 plus years than this isn't even a drop in the bucket.

The shelf part of the trio is really too narrow to put much on.

The divided part is great and I think it would be better to just have 3 of those than 1 of each.

The shelf with the holes for screwdrivers didn't work at all for my tools. They didn't stay in place neatly. I did manage to use those slots for a bunch of spade drill bits which display in nicely.

All in all depending on the kind of organizing you need to do, it might be better to get one of those pegboard units with the little drawers instead.

Want Heininger 5560 GarageMate VersaShelf 3 Pack Shelving System Discount?

The GarageMate 3-pack shelving system includes a tray to hold your screw drivers and other tools, a tray to hold loose nuts/bolts or spray cans, and a flat tray to hold a variety of items.

The shelves are advertised to allow for easy mounting to walls and pegboards. It includes special prongs that clip onto a pegboard, or you can flip the tray around and insert them in-between wall studs on a garage wall (non-insulated of course) and fastened with screws or nails. Finally, it can be mounted onto flat walls via screws/nails as well.

Here are some issues with the shelves. I chose to install them in my non-insulated detached garage because I didn't really need such tacky looking shelves inside the house. Although tacky for a furnished house, they are rather sleek/modern for a workshop or garage. I quickly discovered that unless your wall studs were exactly the same width as the tray, you couldn't mount them flush against the studs. If you chose to mount them flush against the wall (with the tray hanging out), you have to break the peg board plastic hooks (not a big deal).

The trays don't hold a lot of materials, and the previous owner of my garage/house had nailed flat pieces of wood in-between the studs for holding tools and knick nacks, but these plastic trays just look more modern and clean.

Bottom line is that this shelving system is indeed easy to use, and you have 3 options of mounting them: pegboards, in-between studs, or flush against a wall. If you intend to fully outfit your garage, you will need a whole bunch of these. These do save a lot of space if you have a non-insulated wall to mount these trays.

Overall: 4/5 stars

Home Styles 5021-948 Monarch Kitchen Island with Granite Top and 2 Stool, Antiqued White Finish

Home Styles 5021-948 Monarch Kitchen Island with Granite Top and 2 Stool, Antiqued White FinishLove it Love it Love it. Sorry I didn't buy one before. Island was delivered in a speedy manner and in multiple boxes. Took maybe 2 hours tops for hubby to put it together just need some additional muscle to attach the leaf to the granite top before attaching it as one piece to the unit. It is just as it is described to be. Doors and back of unit are a little thin could maybe stand to be a tad heavier. Overall, would buy one again and definitely recommed it to a friend.

This island is great, size wise it is perfect, the Granite top is excellent. Overall the construction is pretty good although the wood used in the drawers is incredibly soft, almost like balsa wood. This one area lets down the rest of the product which is very solid. Assembly is also very easy and the directions are well thought out and consequently easy to follow. Overall, as a product I am very happy with it.

Unfortunately some parts for my Island were damaged in shipping and this is where I am extremely disappointed. I have been given the run around on getting parts replaced, going back and forth between the supplier (Cymax) and the manufacturer (Home Styles), with each of these passing info to one another, whilst I sit, relieved of my money and with several broken parts that do not let me fully use the unit. It has been almost 3 weeks since I received the product and I still have only emails and no proposed resolution. My advice; if you can't buy this directly from Amazon (who have the most outstanding customer service) then don't order it.

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.
