Changer Finish: Mocha

Changer Finish: MochaOur nursery is small and limited in space so we decided to purchase this dresser/changer because it was a perfect fit. It came very well packaged and with no damage. My husband took our son out & I stayed behind to put the dresser together. I was 7 months pregnant with twins at that point. It took me, all by myself, a total of 3 hours to put together. I spent a long time trying to figure out how the drawer glides needed to be installed in order to work correctly. The directions were not clear in that aspect hence the loss of a star in my rating. The dresser itself is solid wood except for the drawer sides, back, and bottom. Put together correctly, the drawers are solid and can be filled with clothing, bedding, etc. without any compromise to the structure. I am very happy with this purchase and I recommend it to anyone who needs to furnish a tight space. Just pay close attention to the drawer glides before you attach them to the furniture.

Rev-A-Shelf 4WDP18-57 4WP Series 57" Door Unit Single Base Pantry with Hardware,

Rev-A-Shelf 4WDP18-57 57' Pantry Door Unit Single - Wood - MapleI will start off by saying, that I rarely leave feedback, but I consider this product so good that I needed to. I am very critical on the build of items and how they are assembled. The shelves Are made much more rigid and better than I had expected. The shelves are wide enough to hold the big salt containers and some of the big spices bottles. They come with their own mounting bracket system. I did not use the brackets that were already mounted, I removed the bracket system and just use the holes already in the cabinet and sunk screws into the door. I didn't like the look of the metal brackets sticking out of the sides and with only the screws being used once the spices are on the rack you won't see any of the mounting pieces. However, I was impressed that it was almost overkill. That tells me that it is a well-made durable product. If I can figure out how to upload pictures I will post. This is not a negative at all, but you will probably want to buy three or four more shelves to go into the rack so that you can fit all the small little containers of spices. I'm sure those can also be ordered on their own.

The seller Build.com was also quick with shipping and the best price out there. I consider This money very well spent And my wife loves them.

This is definitely not some cheap, low quality shelf system it is made out of maple and is very sturdy (and heavy). Had some damage from shipping (the original box was really not designed for shipping as there is no protection for the sides of the unit), but as usual Amazon customer service is amazing and they took care of everything.

Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: White

Kitchen Cart with Stainless Steel Top Base Finish: WhiteStainless top came STAINED, magnetic closure does not stay closed and pops open every time there is the smallest air pressure change. Handles are NOT metal, they are plastic painted to look like metal. If it were easier to return, I would have. But since it doesn't look like a TOTAL piece of crap overall, I gave it the extra star.

This cart is perfect for a tiny kitchen, however, it needs to be about 6" deeper to be fully functional. It was also hard to put together. The directions were not clear and the materials are so flimsy that they split when the screws were inserted. Overall, it looks good and you get what you pay for.

The item came faster than I expected but the package was damaged. I don't think it was from the company though I think it was from UPS. Anyway my husband put it together pretty fast and we kept the wheels off to place it as an kitchen island. All in all I love the cart and and even though I read the reviews I decided to try it for myself and im glad I did.

This cart looks nicer than it is. I bought it since I have a pretty nice one from two years ago and wanted to match it. It's a hair more than that one was, but time had passed.... but wow, this one is flimsy, many holes were inaccurately drilled (making it difficult to assemble with right angles and good tolerances), not all parts bags were marked correctly (nor all pieces) and the instructions were quite poorly translated/written.

If I hadn't put together the previous incarnation two years ago it would have been a lot harder to put together. The flimsiness/shoddiness of the materials is the real kicker, though.

The back piece of the cabinet is even thinner tagboard than before, and several of the pieces, even though pre-drilled, cracked as soon as the screws went into them to put together, before tightening. The pre-drilled holes for the casters were not straight, and some were too large and the screws won't tighten.

I live extremely rurally and needed the cart, so I glued and made do, but I would not purchase this item if there were any remotely similar item available. Several of the bags of screws and parts were missing items, and I had to use some of my own hardware to finish the assemlby--I could not leave a partially assembled cart in the middle of the kitchen for weeks waiting for replacement screws to arrive.

Now that it is together, it's holding up ok, but I would not try to stack a lot on the inner shelf nor load the bottom shelf with too much, either, making it not as useful as I had thought it would be.

If you're handy and cheap, this is OK; if you have more money to spend, get a different item.

Looks fine...but mine came with some wrong parts. I got 3 hinges for the left door and 1 for the right. I was able to take the pin out of one of the hinges and make new screw holes to get it to work. Also, the hinges didn't fit right so the doors wouldn't shut all of the way. I had to bend the hinges and raise the doors slightly to keep them from pinching.

It works decent now and looks fine, but definitely not worth the money.

ClosetMaid 898000 9-Cube Stackable Laminate Organizer, Alder

ClosetMaid 898000 9-Cube Stackable Laminate Organizer, AlderI didn't actually end up getting this color (got cherry instead), but this piece of functional furniture is fantastic! With all the accessories you can get for it (canvas bins, metal baskets, etc), it can be useful in just about any room in the house. Of course, the only drawback is the limited size of the cubes, but they are roomy enough for my needs. I use mine as a toy box/book shelf in 3 y/o's room. Very tall books don't fit, but can be stored on top.

I bought the 9 cube product in the espresso finish and liked it so much I got the 6 cube piece too (in espresso and white). Lots of storage with a small footprint, the espresso finish works well with the transitional style of my home, and the white is perfect for a closet in my bedroom.

Assembly: I usually am terrified of assembling these kind of things and leave it for my fiance to do, but wanted to have this done when he got home from work. All said I think it took me an hour to put together all three units. It wasn't difficult at all, all the pieces were there, and after putting together several of these now I have never had issue with the holes being drilled incorrectly.

Minor issues: The backs of the cubes are laminated cardboard with a lot of nails, and if you aren't very careful to get them in straight they will damage the finish (one nail out of 120 I used no joke, it is a LOT of nails) did go crooked and poked through the laminate Two boards out of the 30 I have pulled out of the boxes have had minor scratches, but nothing too unsightly. The plastic screw covers they include are kind of lame the screws don't sit deep enough for the caps to be flush.

Overall, this appears to be a nice organizational tool for the money!

Upon opening this box I was kind of worried considering how many pieces there were. The directions were straightforward and I had it put together fairly quickly by myself within a couple hours. My sons' closet has a slanted ceiling but it fit with room to spare. One nail went through the particle board but you just have to be careful when nailing on the backing. Once the bins are in it looks great, for the price I am happy with it, and now my boys have no excuse not to pick up their room! :)

Fortunately, the attractiveness of the fabric cubes hide at least some of the many serious flaws in this laminate organizer. If we hadn't needed to put the product into use promptly, I would have stopped assembling it, packed it up, and sent it back to Amazon--an inconvenience we just didn't have time to choose. We encountered flaws ranging from shedding veneer to particle-board splitting during typical (and careful) assembly. Ultimately, we resorted to using clear packing tape and glue simply to make the product serviceable.

Having purchased and assembled numerous "cheap furniture" products over the years, we rate this one the worst. Perhaps we were just unlucky and got a "bad apple." Even so, I strongly recommend purchasing from a local source (if available to you) to make return easier if you end up with one of similarly disappointing quality. If you buy, and wherever you buy, I wish you far better luck than we had.

I bought this for my Sunday School (3-7 year old) class room to put bins in to hold toys. It is particle board it is not made of real wood so the shelves will bend if you put too much on them. If your needs are met by this and not a more expensive solid wood alternative then by all means use it. It was in my budget and works for the cause. Don't over load the shelves or set a decortive plant on it so that water spills on it or the "wood" finish will bubble. I installed this myself with a basic screwdriver and hammer. I am handy with a few tools but usually the directions are what throws me a curve ball. These directions were pretty straigh forward. The plasic covers used to hide the screws are a pain. They don't always stay in place. I just skipped some of them so they weren't around for the kids to eat. It would be nice if you could put cardboard backs on all the the slots but that's not an option. Overall it serves the purpose and the churches floor must be level because it doesn't wobble.

2 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management System

2 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management SystemThe price dropped as much as 50% compared as when I first decided to purchase it...... the shelves are thick smoked gray as advertised very sturdy product. The only thing I would warn the consumer. If you want to center this product and there are no studs. Purchase a couple of drywall medium size toggle bolts for self security and stability. I highly recommend this product. And for this product is would be a good ideal to fish your elect and cable plug to hide behind the mounted LED/LCD Screen

We really like this shelf it is so wonderful aldo it had a broken piece on it we still love it my husband work it out

12 Inch Angled Wood Shelf Brackets Honey Maple

12 Inch Angled Wood Shelf Brackets Honey MapleFits together nicely & easy to install, just wished it came with more of these brackets in the big order.

These are great! They are billed as a closet shelf bracket, but they have such nice lines and are made from a study hard wood (I think poplar or some such wood, a softer hardwood, but hardwood nonetheless) and the finish is very nice (I bought the lighter finish, but they also make a darker finish). The curvature design is so aesthetically appealing, I would have no trouble putting these in a living space with a matching wood-finished shelf. The 12" depth easily accommodates a 12" 16" shelf (a 16" shelf is great for audio/stereo equipment).

The only con is that the were delivered slightly damaged. Not really noticeable, and for my purposes I am going to paint the brackets, so no biggie for me. But the Supplier should take more care in packaging.

Schulte 7913101011 Freedom Rail Bracket

Schulte 7913101011 Freedom Rail BracketI've used the Shulte rail system for 8 years now. I probably rearrange my closets about once a year or so and these things are so easy to reconfigure. I was sorry to see that the store where I got them,Storables, discontinued Shulte and replaced it with an exact Chinese copy. How the heck can a big box store like that sell a product that clearly stole its design from an American firm? Needless to say, I didn't buy the Chinese copy and will not go back to Storables again. Got the Shulte online.

Corner Glass Shelf in Triple Chrome Finish

Corner Glass Shelf in Triple Chrome FinishThe thick glass gives it a high quality look. Installation was easy, but I used more substantial anchors than came with the shelf. I bought this to put in the corner slightly above the bathroom countertop. I was hoping my iPad would fit there, and it does perfectly. It fits with the smart cover folded towards the back, or if it's off, the railing holds the iPad at the right angle.

This shelf is great. It looks perfect in the bathroom. The packaging was excellent and it arrived quickly. Was a little wary of ordering without seeing it in person, but glad I did.
