Trend Lab Scatter Print Fabric Storage Bin

Trend Lab Scatter Print Fabric Storage Bin, CupcakeI bought this item for my granddaughters new room I'm doing for her. I was disappointed when I received it. The color advertised was pretty accurate, but the print of the cupcakes look cheap and the overall quality was just of lower quality than I expected. It's a very small container, so don't be looking at this if you want to hold much. It's what I would call a desktop item. It could hold a bunch of pens/pencils, bunches of crayons or paper clips. Whatever you have a lot of that is small would be OK in this.

Perfect size to fit all my toddler's small cars. It has a wire in the bottom which keeps it from tumbling over and straight.

Very thin material, doesn't feel very sturdy. I cut the box it came in and put a piece of the cardboard in the bottom of the bin to help give it a firmer bottom. Cute fabric, just not very strong. It is almost like a tshirt wrapped around a slim metal skeleton. Anything you put it in alters the shape because it it so flimsy. When you pick it up, the bottom sags, and things can get stuck under the metal wire frame. Putting the cardboard in the bottom helps some, but I would not recommend this product for holding anything other than lightweight tissues or baby washcloths

Cute but check your dimensions before you buy. The picture always looks bigger. Smaller than I expected but can hold a variety of small objects for storage.

South Shore Furniture, Skyline Collection, TV Stand

South Shore Furniture Skyline Collection TV Stand, Sumptuous CherryOnce this item arrvied at my house it was damaged. I didn't even want to know what the process was going to be to fix that issue, nor did I want to wait for another one. So, it definitely took two people to put it together. I have never encountered a piece of furniture that was so hard to put together. If you are not careful moving the parts around the surface scratches VERY easily! Totally not worth your time or money.

This is a great item. We bought it to replace our old and tiny TV stand as our baby started to crawl and pull himself up onto furniture. This is perfect for that as it is very sturdy and stable.

It's arrives in a very heavy box (which I had to help the delivery guy carry up to the 3rd floor!) and it definitely requires 2 people to assemble, but once the hard work is done, it's fantastic and looks great too. I would definitely recommend.

I assembled this alone and even though I was concerned about the drawer glides, this went together perfectly. Everything matched up and the drawers are smooth rolling in and out. I bought two matching bookshelves to go with this and it looks terrific. The color is great too.

I love the quality of the stand, omg it is super heavy. When I received it was slightly damaged but I figured I could hide the gash. It looks a little different from the picture but its still a nice set. It took me 2 days to put it together, has a lot of pieces and the instructions aren't the best. I would order again if I had to.

I agree that it takes a lot of time to put this together since it has many many pieces. But totally worths it. We bought the chocolate version of this tv stand and it is of very high quality and looks great. Our friends also bought south shore furniture after seeing this item at our home.

Rubbermaid 5E28 Deluxe Tool Tower Rack with Casters, Holds 40 Tools

Rubbermaid 5E28 Deluxe Tool Tower Rack with Casters, Holds 40 ToolsWe got this just before moving to consolidate lots of tools from wall racks to something we could handle at a house with no garage (yet). It was so easy to assemble I did it in the kitchen and it took only about five minutes. It took longer figuring out where to put everything than it did to put it together.

It is very stable and the wheels make it very easy to move around. Basically, we stuck everything with a long handle in it and still have holes left over. The only knock I have on the unit is that there is no positive locations for the ends of the tools on the base so many of them flop around a bit making it somewhat harder to keep things organized. But even that is nothing compared to having all these tools handy and tangle free.

I looked at several other similar units and Rubbermaid's is much stronger and more stable. A good deal for the money. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to corral a number of yard tools in a small place.

After many years of having my yard tools falling on the floor, hitting me in the head and near impossible to find in the pile they where in, Rubbermaid came to the rescue wirh this cart. With only 10 parts it took less than 10 min. to assemble.

NOTE;::: A rubber mallet or a piece if fairly heavy wood would help to tap the wheels into the holes when you are assembling it. You won't need any other tools to assemble the rest of it.

I have 22 tools in there now and room for more. It will be nice and sturdy if you put some heavy tools on the lower platform as I have. I also have it backed up to my garage corner wall, with the wheel locks engaged so it is extremely stable. I would not roll this cart around to much with a full rack of heavy tools in it. It's stable against the wall but a bit tipsy when I get it away from there. It does not stick out very far from the wall, plenty of room for my car.

I can't believe how nice and tidy my yard tool secton is now. Highly Recommended. PS:::CHECK OUT MY CUSTOMER IMAGE on product page. THANX

Wheels collapsed when I populated with shovels and other metal hand tools. The plastic wheels have weak supports that split when you roll the unit on first use. System works fine once placed in the corner and stays in place. I did not give lowest rating since it unit was inexpensive and serves primary purpose. In additionn, it may work OK for grass rakes and brooms.

It stores my 30+ tools in a very small space. Better than using a wall or a can. Well worth the $. Love the wheels. Easy to assemble. All plastic parts, but could be a little stronger.

(#1 REVIEWER)I love keeping things organized, and this tool rack really got my basement much better organized.

There were a lot of details that I was not sure about when I purchased this unit. To high light these details I am attaching 13 photos organized in 3 photo collages under customer's photos. Each photo has a unique number that I will be referencing in this review.

The rack arrived in a huge box which looked a bit intimidating when I first saw it, I was not sure if I will be to carry it all by myself. Photo 1 & 2 show the package next to a chair for size reference. It turned out to be rather light, as the rack itself only took a small part of the box. I had to take it out of the box to carry it down to the basement.

Photo 7 shows all the parts before I assembled them. It is best to assembled the rack first, and the flip it and add the coasters. This makes it easier to assembled it. I pounded on each leg (and coasters) with a mallet to make sure there is a good tight fit (Photo 8). Photo 12 and 13 show the lock mechanism for the legs between the two levels of the rack. The lock keeps the legs in the proper orientation for assembly.

One thing I could not tell from the photos was the mechanism for holding handles on the front and sides of the rack. Photo #9 and #10 give a good view of them. The U shaped holders are pretty loose and the oval shape holders need to have things inserted from the top. I expected the U-shaped holders to have a squeeze mechanism which some of my other broom holders have. And in order to insert handles from the top you need to have enough clearance above the rack, which was a problem for some longer tools.

Photo 11 shows the coasters. Notice that two of them have locks and two of them do not. In order to make locking of the wheels easy and convenient the wheels with locks to onto the front of the side of the rack. The coasters arrived with the locks locked, and all four feels looked almost identical. I read some reviews that mentioned that the rack did not roll well, and I wonder if the locks on coasters remained locked. When locks on the coaster were unlocked I am able to roll the rack pretty easily. When I lock them, it move but with difficulty as only two wheels roll well.

Photos 3,4,5,6 show the rack loaded with the tools from different angles. I like the construction of the bottom shelve, it really catches the tools well and keeps them separated. The top has different size holes for different tools, and I found that helpful, but wish there were more big holes.

Dimensions:

The width (side to side) of the top shelf is 34"

The depth (front to back) of the top shelf is 13.5"

The width (side to side) of the bottom shelf is 37"

The depth (front to back) of the bottom shelf is 20"

The rack is 35" (i.e. from the floor to the top of the top shelf)

The summary of minor flaws:

1. I would have preferred a squeeze mechanism to hold handles on the front and sides.

2. Instead of oval holes, I would have preferred some other closure that did not require so much overhead clearance

3. I would have preferred more big holes on the top shelve

Overall, I am pleased with rack. I find it easy to move around the basement (I keep the coasters unlocked). All my tools fit and I have some room for expansion.

Whitmor 6780-3139-WHT White Resin 20 Pair Shoe Rack

Whitmor 6780-3139-WHT White Resin 20 Pair Shoe RackI was looking for something cheap to put at the bottom of my closet for my shoes, and this did that and more. It was much sturdier than I expected. It heald a variety of shoes, even my winter boots.

This shoe rack has definitely come in handy for 20 pairs of my shoes. The only thing I don't like about it is that I have a lot of heels and they fall at times when I'm trying to remove one pair. It's not the most sturdy thing you'll ever have, but it does its job, overall.

I have the smallest closet in the world and needed to maximize space in my closet. I'm a girl who loves shoes and needed a rack that could be easy to put together an hold 20 pairs of shoes. This rack did just that and is holding up well! I may order another!

Took me about two minutes to put this together, and I'm a perfectionist about assembling things. Rack is pretty sturdy. It's one of those things that you won't miss until you have had one. It makes my room look so much tidier than when I used to line my shoes up against my wall. Holds about four pairs of shoes on each shelf, five if you have small shoes or stack one pair on top of each other. With sneakers, I can't see someone getting five pairs in across a shelf.

Winsome Wood Verona Wood 3 Tier Open Cabinet with 6 Beige Folding Fabric Baskets

Winsome Wood Verona Wood 3 Tier Open Cabinet with 6 Beige Folding Fabric BasketsWhile this isn't the most durable product available, for the price you pay, it's certainly worth the purchase! I got this for my son to store his toys in, and it's working perfectly for us. As it's out in our living room, I was hoping it would be a nice, sturdy piece of furniture...but c'mon, for this price you really can't expect much more than what you get. It was a little difficult to put together...definitely need two pairs of hands or a lot of patience...! But once it's together and a few extra brad nails are nailed in to the back for reinforcement, it serves it's purpose well! Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product to others who are looking for a nice but inexpensive storage solution!

While this product does offer eye-appeal (I bought an entire set for our office), it definitely lacks long-term durability. Fortunately since I ordered an entire set, I have plenty of space to spread out heavier items in several baskets, as I would worry about placing excessive weight in one location. The items were OK to assemble, easier for two people than one person alone; however, I do find Costco's furniture easier to assemble and far more durable than this brand. However, that being said, this set offered the ideal dimensions for our office and definitely does not overwhelm our smaller spaces.

I bought this to hold lightweight clothing (underwear, pajamas, tank tops) and it was easy to assemble and does the job well. I'm using the top surface as a shelf and have had no problems. The unit doesn't seem exceedingly sturdy overall though, but I didn't buy it to hold anything heavy so no big deal, just FYI.

We actually keep my 2-yr old's toys in the bins. It has held up great over the past year so far. From far away, it passes for real wood, up close, it doesn't. But we have no complaints!

Good for the price. I ordered two for side tables on either side of a sectional in our living room. The size is perfect for the space I needed & the price point was hard to beat. These were very simple to put together on my own, even with my toddlers 'helping'. The down side, the manufacture did not even attempt the faux wood look on the shelves, they are just painted a solid coordinating color. Also, the finish is a bit more orange than I expected or had hoped. The wood look on the top and back board looks and feels like dried out wood if it were a real wood piece I would say it needs to be oiled, but I'm afraid that might to harm so I have not tried.

Overall, I'm not thrilled, but they are serving the purpose I need without spending over twice as much for the PB ones I was eyeing in the same basic design.

Crawford-Lehigh 36360-6 Ultra Hold 36-by-5-Inch Eight-Hook Tool Rack

Crawford-Lehigh 36360-6 Ultra Hold 36-by-5-Inch Eight-Hook Tool RackAs other reviews have noted, the plastic supports for the hooks crack and break. This may be due to temperature as I used the organizer in an unheated garage (New York). Can't find replacement parts. Might be OK if could get new hangers.

As another reviewer has noted, the plastic housing for the hooks is prone to breaking/shattering, especially in cold conditions.

The product's grabber mechanism is interesting and works well ... until the plastic housing breaks. 5-stars on concept, 0-stars on implementation.

As many reviewers have noted, this product has a great concept design and works wonderfully until the plastic cracks. I have had the same experience with mine installed in an unheated garage in NJ. Why does the company not address this fatal design defect? Replacing the plastic with a different material designed to withstand cold temperatures is not that difficult. Don't you read these reviews?

This was purchased when we moved into our new home. Great idea. Unfortunately I too had a problem with the plastic holder and the rubber gasket breaking.

I fashioned a new gasket with a rubber band and that worked for a while before

the plastic holder shattered....The company would probably make some money and

satisfy customers if they would just sell replacement parts at a reasonable cost.

From the garage: This may be the very best product that I hate .... imaginative concept that works very, very well ... until ... the simplest part of the engineering fails and leaves you high-and-dry. A simple o-ring that allows the two "fingers" to grasp your tool (garden tool ... perv) fractures (I hear due to cold, but I think it's just fatigue from putting away the tool over and over). It's a hard plastic ring that cracks pretty easy. When it's cracked, the fingers no longer have a reason to grab your tool (lol). I tried to fabricate a replacement, but no use. I'll just unscrew these things from the wall and get something that I don't nearly like as much, but will hold my tool as long as I want ...
