Update International BC-2416BZ Aluminum 3-Tier Heavy Duty Bus Cart, 300-Pound, Black

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.

Gorilla Rack GR7300-S23 3-Shelf 77-by-24-by-72-Inch Package Rack, Silver

Gorilla Rack GR7300-S23 3-Shelf 77-by-24-by-72-Inch Package Rack, Silverbest racks I have seen. nice silver finish. they can be set up by one person in less than 2 minutes and a very solid and stable. try to buy direct from the amazon store and get the free shipping . the other stores claim they have them for less and and then don't.

I initially ordered 3 of these, thinking I would order more if need be. I knew the measurements, but it turns out these are huge when you see them in person. I had ordered them to straighten up the garage, which was full mostly of boxes.

These shelves go together super easy, although it is a good idea to have someone help you, simply given the size of them. No tools are necessary, apart from perhaps a rubber mallet to knock the pieces all the way together. Once the main structure is complete, there is a piece of MDF that lays across to form the actual shelf. Should that ever get wet & fail, it's a simple task to actually replace it with plywood for the same purpose)

Once the shelves are together you realize how sturdy they are. I should mention that if you get 2, you can actually connect them in the middle, so you can save a little space if need be, but still have all the shelving space you needed.

I have absolutely loaded up these shelves without so much as a creak from them. These are heavy duty shelves that can take a beating and keep working fine.

My order was from amazon, but it looks like it's 3rd party sellers selling them now. A word of caution if you do order them from amazon, it will be shipped via a freight carrier (CEVA logistics in my case) but they were super helpful in every aspect. they called to arrange the delivery, and the driver actually helped me move the boxes into the garage.

If you're needing some super strong LARGE shelves, these should absolutely fit the bill. As I said in my review for the smaller shelves, yes. They are pricey. But quality costs, and these are shelves that will last a lifetime.

The product looks great but the packaging is really bad. Had two of these had the same issues with the support beams bent and the boards were broken. Do not purchase as you will waste your team sending it back.

Linon Anna Collection Tall Narrow 5-Shelf Bookcase

Linon Anna Collection Tall Narrow 5-Shelf BookcaseSturdy and stylish, with fairly lucid directions for assembly. It's not fine furniture, but it's several steps above IKEA and a good choice for home office or studio.

The unit is not solid black as pictured--it's got a rubbed finish with some touches of deep red showing through on the edge, quite nice.

The book case fit compactly in the corner of the kitchen w/o looking over towering. The shelves are deep; the style and finish isn't cheap looking, and construction solid. A great buy.

My 86 year old mother has a huge collection of framed family photos and has never had a place to display more than a few at a time. SMom had the photos packed in boxes and if she was ever going to spend time with the subjects in the pictures, it had to be soon. I looked at many bookcases before deciding on this one. The shelves were larger than other bookcases in this price range and I liked the overall look. My husband put the bookcase together easily but said he had to be careful with the backing as it was a bit flimsy. That's to be expected since this is not a $2,000 bookcase. Once assembled, the bookcase is sturdy enough for our purposes (not sure about loading it with heavy books) and looks great. Really much nicer than I expected. My mother LOVED it and started pulling out storage boxes right away. She had all 5 shelves filled with photos in 1 day and was thrilled with the final result. All her picture frames look great on the black bookcase. Mom's recliner is directly across the room from the bookcase and she is thoroughly enjoying viewing the fruits of her labor. I highly recommend this bookcase for display purposes. I don't think you can get a better style for the price.

I bought this because we had a piece in this same series/exact style, only short, and I liked the way it looked and its sturdiness. We got this tall bookcase to put photos of the kids, etc. (my wife wanted something like it for Christmas), as we had nowhere to put those things. It seems like it could hold books as well. I think it said each shelf holds 30 pounds, although the very top might be 15 pounds. We put it at an angle in the corner. The look is simple, and does not seem "modern" necessarily, as the black color might suggest, fitting in not only with the existing piece, but with our simple-style wood furniture. The edges are sometimes reddish rather than black, and this is fully on purpose to create a subtly "distressed" look. You have to put it together, but I enjoyed the process, all in all. Rather ingeniously conceived, really. All the needed pieces and hardware were there. All you need is a Philips screwdriver, and to pay careful attention to the pictured, step-by-step directions and the corresponding lettered or numbered hardware and pieces to put it together without problem. I paid careful attention to each step and positioning and had no problems. I am not always happy with the furniture I can afford, and hate things that don't go together well or that are wobbly or fall apart. Our previous piece by the same people has been fine, and this one seems great as well. I did not even resent the fact that it was made in China (as virtually anything affordable seems to be these days, sadly) after noticing/admiring how well it is prepared to be put together by someone who like me, who is not really "handy." The screws and pegs have guide holes. The main screws have to be put in with a hand screwdriver. The exception were the small screws for the back (holes there do not go into the material below the back piece). I switched to an electric drill/screwdriver for those to avoid the exertion and fatigue that was, ironically, resulting from those. All in all, though, I recommend this without any significant reservation and with full satisfaction. It looks great and serves its purpose admirably. I like the x pattern in the sides. Very simple and elegant piece, that can, I think, look somewhat formal or somewhat informal, blending with its surroundings. That's all I can think to say, except that my wife and I are both glad we bought it. I would not hesitate. M. B.

InfiniT Media Storage Towers Set of Two

Nexera Liber-T 4-Shelf Modular CD/DVD Storage Towers, White, Set of 2We are delighted with the CD/DVD Storage Towers. We screwed them together and they fit perfectly into a cubby in our southwest design house.

Didn't expect a great piece due to the price but will likely toss this out. Extremely poor quality and holds very limited number of discs.

I haven't purchased this item as yet. However, This price is higher than at Wayfair. There it is shown as available for $70.00. We had a taller one years ago , adaptable for various locations. Great for storing books (yes some of us like the feel of a book in our hands with real pages) I want to turn these on their side and stack them to provide a spot in a short corridor for books, and papers instead of laying them around the living room on various spots. One location clean and neat.

Command Designer Medium Arc Hooks, White, 2-Hook

Command Designer Medium Arc Hooks, White, 2-HookThese hooks are sturdy, attractive and go up very easily. Easily removed if you change your mind about location.

The directions are clear. I will order more!

Easy to put up and take down. I've been using them for my jackets and hoodies on the inside and outside of my closet door for about 6 months. Haven't had any problems with them falling off or anything. I like that the hook is wide and deep--works well with hoods.

ClosetMaid 15-Cube Organizer

ClosetMaid 8505 15-Cube Organizer, WhiteThis is an excellent storage cube for shoes. It is very sturdy and the white color lets the shoe colors show up well in my closet. It is just what I was looking for. It was easy to assemble and is veyr sturdy.

It was easy to assamble, and it is wonderful for little kid's shoes (and that was the main reason why we purchased it). If you want to store adult shoes,you will probably have to use one cube per shoe, though.

Good buy!

I looked for a while for a shoe organizer for a small closet I had, and have been happily please with this ClosetMaid Organizer. I wear a womens size 10 shoe and I can fit all of my shoe in pairs in the cubbies, however my husbands size 14's only fit one per hole. It is a very sturdy product and incredibly easy to put together. I would definitely recommend this product.

This is a great space keeper for shoes, but not big shoes so its great for kids and mid foot people, but it is good.

DUO Wall Mount Toilet Paper Holder - Matte by Blomus

DUO Wall Mount Toilet Paper Holder - Matte by BlomusWhile it's relatively easy to mount, it's not exact, since once you get it on the wall you can no longer see where to align the holder with the wall mount. That makes it difficult to mount this holder securely, and try as I might, I wasn't able to do that. The toilet paper stays on, but the holder tilts because I wasn't able to align it properly. I'm not going to buy another one of these--it's not worth it the headache.

Easy Track RV72 72-Inch Vertical Panels, White, 2-PackIncredibly heavy with no instructions. Couldn't figure how to use it so I returned it. The system needs to be more "user-friendly" for non-professionals.

The system and the panels were easy to install and makes for a good looking closet. Not all pieces I used from EasyTrack worked so well together and took some adjustments not in the installation to make work together.

Winsome Terrace 3 Tier 37 in. Wide Storage Shelf

Winsome Terrace Storage Shelf 3-Tier Wide in Espresso, 37-InchI just needed bookshelf to organize books and paperwork. This one was nice because it was 30" tall so it sits level with my desk.

I ordered this table and was so excited to get it as it would work perfect for my space. I received it & opened the box and realized a piece was broken in 1/2. Sent it back through Amazon.com which was easy. Got a replacement 2 days later. Opened that box and again..... the same piece was broken in 1/2. Either they do not know how to package or they're stuff is crap!! I didn't have the patience to try for a 3RD TIME and find out.

Melannco Nesting U Shaped Shelves, Black, Set of 3

Melannco Nesting U Shaped Shelves, Black, Set of 3I bought these to use as DVD shelves, and they serve that purpose well, since they have raised ends. The quality is not great; there is a blemish on one corner. They are cheap fiberboard, but they serve their purpose.

However, they smell strongly of urine. Upon unpacking them, my whole living room quickly took on the smell. I am going to wait and see if they settle down any before I mount them to the wall, because it's disgusting. How disappointing.

Update: This product bears the distinction of being my first Amazon return. After leaving it to air out outside overnight, the smell is still unbearable, and is making us ill. I have opted for these instead: ASIN:B006DU0C72 Trista [Groovy Colours] U-Shaped Leather Wall Shelf / Bookshelf / Floating Shelf (Set of 3)]] Much more expensive, but hopefully better quality (and less smelly).

I bought these shelves to put in my son's room. They are solid black. Other reviewers talked about a weird smell that came from them and yes, they did smell when I first got them, so I used a damp rag to wipe them down and then dried them off immediately. I let them set out for a day before installing them and haven't noticed any smell coming from them anymore. My son's room is 12 x 14 and he sleeps with the door closed and we still can't smell them. I think they are great. I'd give them 5 stars if I didn't have to wipe them off but they do what they are designed to do...hold small books and nick-nacks.

These are made of paper. They look nice, however, when I received mine, one side was broken off of one ot these. It may have been due to the packing or the handling of the product. Not bad for the price. I will try to glue the side back on, otherwise will have to pitch that one.

This product was not at ALL what I expected to receive! It looked so nice in the photos that I actually ordered two boxes; one for each child's room. The largest one was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be, and very narrow as well; a 4x6 frame hardly fits on the small one. I'll blame that one on myself b/c I'm sure it listed the dimensions in the item details. Although it wasn't what I pictured it to be, the worst part of this item is it's construction. Now, I realize that for the $26 for a 3-peice shelving unit, you're most likely going to get particle board, but they could've at least made it so it didn't fall apart (literally) when I took it out of it's box!...I kid you not. POS is what this is....very disappointed.

When I received the shelves, two had already broken, though I didn't notice right away. I had emptied the boxes they arrived in, and then, more the fool me, threw the boxes away. Once I realized that the shelves were broken, I checked the others, only to find most of them to be loose. Since I threw the boxes away, I couldn't return the shelves, so I'm stuck with them.

HyLoft 00720 36 in. Ceiling Mounted Shelf

HyLoft 00720 36- by 36-Inch Overhead Storage System, WhiteWell built quality product, Not that bad to install. A real space saver. Makes use of un-used ceiling area. Best garage storage system available if you don't want floor standing shelves and want to get everything off the floor in the garage or storage rooms.

Hyloft Jr is a quality product. I have installed about 10 of the full sized units and this is my first Jr. I just looked at the pictures on the website and I noticed that the first 2 pictures must be the old Jr. and the last few are the new one. The new Jr. is not built as solidly as the full sized. 3 things about it are inferior:

1. Installing the top bracket is more difficult since instead of installing a small bracket you have the bracket and the rod which are one piece now. Getting the first screw in is hard with the rod that keeps floating around as you turn the screw.

2. The square tube steal frame rods are not tubes but U rods instead, which make the whole loft less able to hold a load. They could greatly increase the rod strength by welding even a small steal plate in the center of the rod since this is the weakest point. Looks like the old design was a mini version of the full sized but this new model is not and will not handle half the load.

3. The Jr when fully extended drops lower than the full sized by about an inch or so. This is annoying since I have a full sized and a Jr side by side and they do not line up. Seems like this would be an easy thing for the manufacturer to do and something they would have thought about since they seem to be a pretty detail oriented company.

Overall a good product but not for really heavy loads its rated at 150 lbs which seems accurate. Its a shame since this could be made to handle twice the load, I bet the old Jr design could have done that. I am sure they changed it to save money but I would have paid $5 or $10 more just to have the heavy duty design. Since the old design was literally a mini full sized unit that was more what I was expecting. Maybe they could release a Heavy Duty version of the Jr. I would buy it.

Objective: Bought 3 36" overhead shelves to create additional garage storage for luggage, camping, and christmas decorations. If system worked well, expand to create an L shape above the garage door to provide even more storage.

When designning the layout and area where you want to install this, know where the ceiling beams (studs) are. Don't assume all the beams are the same length. While the beams are 2ft apart, some extended from the wall in different length, some were horizontal and some were vertical. In my case, the beams at the corner of the ceiling "fanned" out in a square". Moving further from the wall they were horizontal and went across the entire ceiling. The direction of the beam (north south vs east west) will dictate the direction of the shelving.

Bottom line is make sure the beams accomodate the design layout you are trying to achieve. And lastly, due to not knowing this earlier on, the installation took much longer than anticipated. As I had to relocate them to a different part of the garage ceiling. Tip: Drill in the (2) ceiling bolts ONLY when you have all the hangers as you like them and test fit the shelves and clearance. This was one thing I did correctly, otherwise it would have been a nightmare to relocate to a different spot. I also used screws rather than the provided nails to "loose" fit the hangers. It was much easier to install and in my case uninstall.

By the way, I got the 36" system and with 24" beams you think multiple shelves would fit next to each other in a continuos piece. they do not, there is about a 4"-6" gap. So I may have considered the 45" system if I had known that ahead of time.

As for the product it is OK. It is your standard shelving. The hangers are a little wabbly but will hold.

The overall product is good. Solid materials. The starting nails, however, aren't worth much. After hammering the start nails supplied in the shipment, the heads popped off after after a few hits. I resorted to some wood screws that I had from a previous project.

The first unit is going to the hardest to put up. Afterwords, the rest of the units go up fairly quickly because you know what you're doing and you get used to working on the ceiling.

I purchased two of these storage systems. They fit together nicely. I was able to place several totes and other miscellaneous items on them. I am finally able to get both of my cars into the garage! Overall, I would recommend these to my friends. The only negative I can provide Not 100% satisfied with the stability of the support 'poles' that hang from the ceiling. The shelves tend to swing a little, but not a big deal.
