Update International BC-2416BZ Aluminum 3-Tier Heavy Duty Bus Cart, 300-Pound, BlackThis was purchased to hold a small Barb-B-Q pit. It's perfect for our needs since it is used outside under the covered patio. Very easy to put together and rolls easily when loaded. The shelves are heavy duty PVC so they won't rust as our last one did. Good price for the product.

Frenchi Furniture - 5-Tier Corner Stand Finish: White

Frenchi Furniture - 5-Tier Corner Stand Finish: WhiteThis corner stand is wonderful for the price! It is very sturdy, easy to assemble (my kids put most of it together), and looks great! I would definitely recommend this product to someone who is looking for a sturdy and stylish corner stand at a very reasonable price.

The corner stand was exactly as discribed and complements the room decore; assembly for this stand was were easy and the purchase price was excellent.

Buy Frenchi Furniture - 5-Tier Corner Stand Finish: White Now

This product is the worst piece of furniture I've ever purchased on Amazon.

To start, I noticed that one of the shelves was damaged on the underside and hastily repaired using wood putty to fill in for the gouged wood. However, it had only been slapped on without smoothing or sanding to make it even with the rest of the shelf.

Next, as I was assembling the shelves, I found that paint was already chipped on two of the vertical pieces and another was VERY warped.

I'm not mad enough to bother with trying to return it, but when I move I don't think my wife or I will mind if it gets dropped 4 or 5 times on the way to the truck, or run over on the highway. Either way, I win...

Elite 54 in. 3 Door Wall Storage Cabinet

Elite 54 in. 3 Door Wall Storage CabinetThe cabinets work well for my application and fit perfect. They were pretty easy to assemble and seem to be well built.

The cabinets are totally garbage....First of all they came with NO instructions, and when assembled with the screws I had to purchase additional brackets cause the weight of the cabinets was pulling the cabinets off the wall... So NOT worth the $$$$ for the quality of the cabinets!!!

Mission style 38"w 5 shelf Bookshelf

Mission style 38'w 5 shelf Bookshelf, FIVE-SHELF, WALNUTI do not have mission stlye furniture in my home. So I did not order this unit because it matched my decor. I ordered it because it was hands down the sturdiest unit I could find after doing about 4 hours of comparing different units on different sites.

I was not disappointed, I have this shelf loaded to the gils and it takes the load like it is made of iron. For the money it is the best.

In addition even though mission is not my style this unit is totally finished front, back, sides, top and bottom in a very desirable color of wood, very fine finish and finished on all edges, nicely rounded shelf edges all added to make this a very attractive unit that would fit well in a country decor , mission, and less formal more comfy laid back feel. Great unit at a decent price. Would buy again.

This is one great little bookcase. Comes in flat in a long box and goes together in about one hour. Can't ask more for the price!

Buy Mission style 38"w 5 shelf Bookshelf Now

I just unpacked and put together the first of two of these shelves. I would bet money that these are NOT made of oak but are just a honey oak color. I wonder what kind of wood it is? Still, it looks pretty nice, went together in just over an hour and will serve my purpose. I feel like I was duped though. Description leads one to believe that the "Hardwood and hardwood veneer construction" is oak. Being something other than oak and made in Thailand, they might not be such a good value after all.

Umbra Birdseye Steel Wall Hooks, Black

Umbra Birdseye Steel Wall Hooks, BlackI liked the look of this wall mounted coat hook. It's actually sturdier than it looks in the picture, which was certainly a plus. It's also attractive. The birds are unique and look good enough that even when the rack is empty, it's still nice looking.

It has two hooks and two knobs for hanging things. Really, this can only fit two coats, unless they're lightweight jackets. The hooks are wide, and a little shallow, so it can make hanging bulkier coats a bit difficult unless your coat has one of those tabs inside the collar for hanging, and it's wide enough to fit over the hook. I was hoping to be able to fit coats and hats on it, but hats don't stay on the hooks or knobs very well if there's more than one coat.

I'd recommend this for light jackets, scarves, kid's jackets, and other small things. For bulkier, heavy coats and hats, I'd recommend getting something bigger that can hold them more easily.

Got my birdseye hook and it s very nice sturdy metal and is as pictured. The only thing I didn't realize from the picture is that in order to mount it you do not hang it on nails the two end "knobs" of this piece are actually screws that need to go into your wall at about 3/4". This does come with what I think are dry-wall mounting pieces. Just thought folks should be aware.

Since the unit is not wide enough to span wall studs, they've helpfully included two sheetrock anchors. Unfortunately, they are not very high quality and bent out of shape as I tried to put them in! Luckily we had a few heavy-duty anchors left over from another project that fit.

I love it now that it's installed! Very cute.

Read Best Reviews of Umbra Birdseye Steel Wall Hooks, Black Here

I ordered this for my bathroom and love the way it looks after I finally got it up on the wall. As others have noted, the anchors that are included for installation are flimsy and one broke during installation. I ended up using another way to anchor it.

Want Umbra Birdseye Steel Wall Hooks, Black Discount?

Very nice, unique style, priced well. It is not designed to be a foyer coat rack but that is how I will use it. The holes are not spaced to permit installation into studs, therefore if a heavy coat pulls it off the wall, I will adjust the installation.

Honey-Can-Do 4-Tier Closet Accessory Shelf

Honey-Can-Do SHO-01172 4-Tier Closet Accessory Shelf, WhiteLove this product! I live in an efficienty apartment and need all the extra compact storage I can get. This rack is sturdy, holds my shoes without bending and fits well in my closet. I can fit three pair of mens shoes (size 8.5) on each shelf so this holds 12 pair of shoes and sandals. Highly recommended.

I fixed it up in less than 5mins. It is light but (sufficiently) sturdy for shoes and papers. Takes up minimal space and is a great storage unit. Am considering to get a second one.

Buy Honey-Can-Do 4-Tier Closet Accessory Shelf Now

I'm probably being overly sensitive, but "Honey-Can-Do" strikes me as a gender-specific, slightly patronizing imperative. Then I read the assembly instructions, which begin with the sentence: "Plan to allow 5 minutes for assembly." What's that supposed to mean? That honey's problem is impatience? (As any proud patriarchal head-of-household can see, these separate 12 pieces are likely to test such an assumption severely.) Or that honey is most likely afflicted by the usual male incompetence? (If I plan to allow 5 minutes and publicly confess that it took me 15, I'm a double dork--for botching the job and admitting it).

So the rack is an insult--but admittedly a light one. It truly is practically a no-brainer to assemble, though you'd have to be a polymath to nail it in 5 minutes--either that or someone who reads through the instructions in advance and practices doing it a couple of times before starting the timer. I elected to do neither, so 15 minutes will have to stand as a blemish on an otherwise successful implementation of the shelf.

All the same, this is the rack I've been looking for and not finding. It costs less than those slanted jobs that work only with high-heeled shoes, and unlike some of the lightweight plastic racks I've tried, it doesn't resemble a hammock once I've loaded it up. Moreover, this generous-sized concoction could conceivably accommodate up to 16 pairs of shoes! (Caveat: That's if your feet are less than size 10 and you have some sandals or sneakers that'll slide underneath the bottom shelf; for most of us, 9 pairs of shoes is probably more accurate.) You'll probably find it a little on the high side to clear the shirts in your closet, but if you remember to put your dress shoes on the top rack, they should remain relatively dust-free.

Unlike some racks, this one doesn't collapse or adjust to the width of your closet, so measure carefully or plan to spend a lot more than 5 minutes knocking out a wall to remodel the closet (honey no can do).

This shelf was so easy to assemble when I saw the tiny box I got scared that it would be a hundred pieces to figure out, but it was actually a 2 minute process! The shelf is a little bigger then I was hoping for, but I can take a rack off the bottom to lower the height a little. Over all a great sturdy product!

Want Honey-Can-Do 4-Tier Closet Accessory Shelf Discount?

I'm sorry but this is the worst product I have ever purchased. It wasn't too tricky to put it together but after you do it won't stand up straight. It leans to either side drastically and I consider it totally useless. I have not had the time to re-package and send it back but I will probably throw it in the trash. Totally useless to me.

Zenith Studio Accents Wall Shelf, Chrome

Zenith Studio Accents Wall Shelf, ChromeI had two of this shelfs. First one came with missing parts, but i still put it together and hang it on the wall. After about a year all pieces start to rust. I decide to replace it with new. After I put all the shelf together I realize that mounting screws, plastic anchores and special tubes separeting shelf from the wall are missing. Just great. I got shelf but I can not hang it without trip to Home Depot. If you need some shelf for a year or so and you ready to improvise while you will try to put that shelf on the wall, then you should order it.

This dual shelf plus towel rack is the perfect size and has an elegance about it. It's functional and adds a nice design to a small bathroom. It may rust some in the future, but it's worth it while it lasts.

Buy Zenith Studio Accents Wall Shelf, Chrome Now

I like the general look of this product and the box I received it in included all the parts. It's mostly made of steel, with glass shelves. The only plastic parts are the caps. It comes disassembled and requires that you put all the parts together, which wasn't really difficult. My complaint, however, is that when the corners of the shelves were welded at the factory, it wasn't done with sufficient care to insure that the unit looks perfectly straight when assembled. There's really no way of making it look perfect, and the slight crookedness even appears in the picture in this ad. Look at the back left vertical bar. Notice how it's cocked toward the bottom?

Very pretty but was annoyed to find a part missing. Had to contact seller by phone and was told it would take a week to receive replacement.

Want Zenith Studio Accents Wall Shelf, Chrome Discount?

Assembly was fairly straight forward. I was a little concerned that the welded on nuts in the poles would break during tightening but they held. Just make sure you are tightening all of the screws to an equal depth so the shelf stays level. It's been up about 6 weeks and looks as good as new. No rust so far as opposed to some of the inepensive chrome shelves that start discoloring within a few weeks..

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.

When you see the quality of these bins you will see the difference.

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.

Buy Badger Basket Diaper Corner Changing Table Now

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.

Read Best Reviews of Badger Basket Diaper Corner Changing Table Here

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

Want Badger Basket Diaper Corner Changing Table Discount?

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.

Elegant Home Fashions Stratford Collection Framed Mirror with Shelf, White

Elegant Home Fashions Stratford Collection Framed Mirror with Shelf, WhiteLike reviewer Triana, I bought this mirror for use in a very small bathroom. In some ways, it is quite nice. The frame is solidly assembled and all the joints are tight. The finish is generally good, though certainly not of fine-furniture quality. There is some evidence of uneven finish sanding, for example, and the sheen on the paint is uneven in places. I'm not sure the finish will tolerate bumps without chipping.

The mirror, itself, is made of very thin glass. Of greater significance, the item that I received had the mirror mounted a little high in the frame so that the cut edge was clearly visible at the bottom. A bit of disassembly and adjustment fixed that problem. I saw no evidence that it had slipped during shipping; I suspect it was just hastily assembled. The packaging was substantial.

In short, this is an inexpensive mirror that offers reasonably good value for money. If you view your own furnishings with a very critical eye or worry that others may do so, you may not find the build quality acceptable. For most of us, a week after it goes up we won't even notice the little defects.

I am so in love with the frame for this mirror, but the mirror is so badly warped that it makes you dizzy! A previous reviewer had the same problem. I just bought a new home, and checked the mirror for damage when it arrived, but I didn't actually hang the mirror until later when I noticed the distortion problem and it was too late to return. I'm hoping I can just get the mirror piece replaced at a glass shop because the rest of it is actually solidly built and similar to that 'high end store' mirror, but much less expensive. Great in a small half bath, definitely not big enough for a full bathroom.

This is a nice, solidly built mirror with decorative shelf. The style is very sharp looking and really adds a rich yet warm touch to the room. I have another wall mirror similar to this one but it is not as nice as this one and cost almost as much.

Ellsworth Tall Corner Etagere - White

Ellsworth Tall Corner Etagere  - WhiteYes this is an MDF DIY piece, yes it isn't the sturdiest piece of furniture I own, yes it is a little on the small size...but you get what you pay for. I gave it 4 stars because it was exactly what I was expecting, my hopes weren't too high to begin with though. I have looked for a corner cupboad of this size and shape for a long time and this is the first one that I found that will fit in the spot that needed it, so I was thrilled. All the high quality ones I found were either too large to fit in the spot or too small to be useful. I keep my bath products and personal items behind the cupboard doors and the open shelves hold the rolled up guest towels, wash clothes, and guest soaps. My makeup case fits perfectly on the very top behind the decorative crown piece. I would suggest anchoring it to the wall and not putting too many heavy things on the high shelves. But for the price and the size this isn't a bad purchase.

The holes for the screws were not properly done. Had to go to the store and buy wider screws , the ones sent with the item just fell right out and held nothing together. Once it was together, fit the corner nicely. Definately small though, not big enough to fit a 2 slice toaster on.

I have purchased and put together a ton of pre-fab furniture in my lifetime and although this is cute and functional and serves it's intended purpose, it is way over priced and made of the thinnest materials I have ever seen. Literally centimeters thick "wood". I could probably break it with a good karate chop. I would return it but can't imagine the shipping costs to do so and I'd have to dissassemble and try to repackage. It's not horrible but it's worth maybe half what it sells for on Amazon. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.

I was surprised at how easy it was to put together and that all the holes lined up perfectly. I love the style and design. It's just like as pictured. Bad side: Smaller storage than I expected. Also in intructions on the only thing that should be changed is DO NOT put door knobs on until end (they suggest in beginning). It has to be put together with front face down on level ground and with knobs in, it does not make it level. Minor thing.

I only needed a philips screwdriver to put together and drill to anchor to wall.

Sauder Harbor View Storage Cabinet, Antiqued White

Sauder Harbor View Storage Cabinet, Antiqued WhiteI got this in THREE days. I love it. It is a sturdy piece of furniture. I bought it for my craft room to store fabrics and quilts in. It took my husband about two hours to put it together. What slowed him down was the BACK piece does have a TOP and BOTTOM direction to it which was not stated in the directions. The back panel is very thin but other than that I have NO complaints. I will buy two prettier knobs for it but I am VERY pleased with this purchase. It is a lot roomer than I expect which is always a plus!!

Update: I just ordered a second one since I needed even more storage. "Wayfair" has FREE shipping and the service is wonderful!!

I really like this storage cabinet. It looks good and was very easy to put together. It was also much more inexpensive than purchasing a previously assembled unit of this size, and then paying for delivery (I don't have a truck and you would need one to deliver a cabinet this large). The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the fact that the center divider and top shelf is necessary to hold the unit together. I really just wanted storage space, and did not plan on installing the shelving. I can still fit my vacuum and electric broom, but I had to carve out notches in the upper shelf so the handles would fit. We happen to have an electric saw so it was no big deal, but if you are expecting to utilize the entire interior without the shelving, this is probably not the best choice.

Whitmor Supreme Shelving Unit

Whitmor 6070-267 Supreme 5-Tier Shelving Unit, BlackLove these shelves -very sturdy and attractive, and great for my intended purpose (extra kitchen storage).

I just wanted to include this review if you're like me and don't always comprehend assembly instructions the first time you read them. Some of my tips:

1. The "threaded connectors" connect the top pole to the lower pole. My threaded connectors didn't have a groove in the middle (according to the drawing and instructions they were supposed to), so I had to estimate when they were screwed halfway into each pole. Make sure they aren't wobbly when you've screwed the poles together -this means one pole has too much of the connector in it.

2. Don't screw the feet in too tightly when you first put them in, so that you won't have trouble loosening them later when you're leveling the unit.

3. Even though the sleeves look incredibly flimsy, they work. Don't waste time staring at them, wondering how the heck they're going to support 350 pounds.

4. The lip around the edge of the shelves should point downward. Although I thought this was the case from the picture on the website, the drawing in Step 3 is a little confusing.

5. If you're putting together the shelves by yourself, lay the four poles on the ground. Slide the shelf onto the poles, and then put the box in between the bottom and top poles to support the top poles as you slide the shelf toward the feet.

Hope this helps!

These shelves are like many other shelving products I've come across. They assemble by placing plastic cylinders around the vertical poles and then sliding the shelf(s) down upon the plastic cylinders. There is a slight taper to the plastic cylinders and the cylinders on the shelves which slide over them. This squeezes the cylinders tight to the vertical poles and keep the shelves from sliding down the pole.

They say no tools are necessary for assembly and this is true, though I would recommend having a rubber mallet or a hammer and a small block of wood so you can tap the shelves into alignment and definitely if you need to reposition a shelf. A box level could be useful too if you really wanted to try and get everything just right.

The nice thing about these products are they are simple to assemble and the shelf position is very customizable. The bad part is that the shelves are usually somewhat warped. Not so much that it significantly affects the structure, but enough to notice with the naked eye.

I bought two of these and both shipping cartons were fairly banged up, but everything was in relatively good shape and all parts were still in the container. The thing about buying two of these is that if you place them next to each other you may notice that the legs do not appear to be perfectly vertical. Even if you get the shelves level on both units odd are the legs will not be perfectly vertical. Not a big deal if you only have one by itself, but with two next to each other it is somewhat obvious. Just something to consider. Could probably be adjusted and straightened with a bit of labor but it is not a big deal for my intended usage of these shelves.

All in all though it's a good shelf and easy to put together. The black coating makes it look a little less harsh than stainless too.

Buy Whitmor Supreme Shelving Unit Now

I agree with most that has been said before (i.e. sturdy, fairly easy to assemble etc.).

Here's an additional input I haven't seen in a review yet: One reviewer mentions the possibilty to make two smaller units out of one large. True, but...

...WAY more interesting in my eyes is the possibility to combine two 5-shelf-units to one 10-shelf-unit of THREE times the width. Just assemble the whole unit in one shot from the bottom up and install at least two (better three) shelves towards the OUTSIDE, therefore connecting the two units. A word of caution: Be sure beforehand on what heights you want the shelves mounted, since it is almost impossible to correct this later without major disassemby!

You get a three shelves wide unit, obviously with the same number of shelves (10). You do NOT gain shelf space, but you DO gain room for larger items (which this shelving can handle very easily) and one VERY sturdy wall unit. And while you are at it, you might want to explore the 'buy three, make five'-version...

edit: I just uploaded an image to the customer image gallery to illustrate my point. Hope it helps!

Very impressed with my new shelves. Received very quickly too. They are strong and sturdy, arrived totally in tact. They steadily hold a lot of quantity and weight (350 pounds per shelf). I am using them in my pantry to hold numerous heavy kitchen gadgets with no sway what-so-ever. Assembly instructions were super easy to follow, and I had it assembled in less than 1/2 an hour out of the box. Although no tools are required, I did use a rubber mallet hammer which helped me to solidify the shelves perfectly. I highly recommend these and would buy again in a heartbeat. You'll be glad you purchased.

I was so happy with this shelf unit that I snapped up what I thought were the same shelves at Target. Although the design was identical, the shelves from Target came with rusted poles and lower quality components. Another tip that I came up with after assembling my third shelf unit:

Tip: Wait until you have assembled the bottom 2 shelves before you attach the upper poles. We had trouble placing the shelf supports at the same level on each pole when dealing with the entire length of the pole. It is MUCH easier to assemble the whole bottom part first, then add the next levels.
