ClosetMaid Support for SuperSlide Hanging Bar, White #5629
Buy ClosetMaid Support for SuperSlide Hanging Bar, White #5629 Now
As stated by the previous two reviews, mine broke and Lowe's nor Home Depot have them in stock so now I have to pay extra for shipping!!!! Now, I know to put twice as many as they recommend. I'll be putting twice as many as before. Take note and add extras before your's break!Read Best Reviews of ClosetMaid Support for SuperSlide Hanging Bar, White #5629 Here
These support hooks from Closet Maid are made very poorly. We installed them every 18 inches, closer than what is recommended, and they have failed. They break where the bracket goes over the wire shelf. They are made out of resin and because the shelves are flimsy and flex, there is a side load on this cheap little part. Had we known this, we would never have bought any of this Closet Maid system, but now we are stuck with it. We will probably design some type of Rube Goldberg support system using 2 x 4's to support the wire mesh of the shelves. If you have not yet put any shelving in your closet, do NOT buy Closet Maid.By the way, if you hang a normal clothing load on this shelving system, the places in between the brackets sag considerably. It looks terrible, to say nothing of what it does to the support hooks. What a terrible system overall made with such cheap material. Would have rated "0" stars but system won't allow.
UPDATE: We now have the replacement hooks. Though the part number is the same, they are even more badly made than the originals. The U-shaped channel into which the closet rod fits is made of a thinner plastic than the original. Result: if you use one of the new ones between two of the old ones, the bar does not rest in the channel of the new one. In other words, the old ones hold the bar about 1/8 inch higher than the new ones. So the weight will continue to rest on the old ones until they break and then then the weight will fall on the new ones. Greatthey save a tiny bit of money and we pay for it. I'm calling a carpenter, which I should have done in the first place.

Foremost 327601 Modular Open Cube Storage System, White
I also bought these units when they were roughly $20 each. The boards do bend rather freely. I do not use these for heavy item storage, but I could definitely see where they would warp easily over time if you did put heavy items in them, or if you had kids climbing on them.
All-in-all I am pleased with my Foremost modular furniture. It's cheaper than most of the other modular systems out there, and it served the purposes I needed them for.

I am very happy with this purchase. I bought two of these for closet storage because the dimensions were perfect for my closet size. They arrived quickly and complete. They were heavier tha I expected, but that is good because they are very solid.Read Best Reviews of Foremost 327601 Modular Open Cube Storage System, White Here
So what is the best way to store record albums so that they can be easily accessed? These cubes solved my problem. They are sturdy and the ideal size. Don't be tempted to buy the double size to save $, for they are not as durable as the single. I calculated the number of cubes I would need for my collection and arranged them to fit the space I had set aside. The white cubes look nice and are much more reasonable that having shelves built.Want Foremost 327601 Modular Open Cube Storage System, White Discount?
These cubes were a perfect solution for my small home office, where everything has to do double duty. I was pleasantly surprised with the material, the hollow-core construction is lightweight yet strong. One cube holds my 70 LB printer and copy paper supplies. Another holds 62 inch refernce binders. I am ordering 3 more to complete my storage needs. Assembly was easy and directions quite clear. I did supplement the assembly with a good wood glue, which is just my practice for self-assembly products. However the wood screws provided are strong and long, assembly also included wood dowels. The honey color is a great match for my hardwood flooring. The cubes solve a lot of storage issues without taking up a lot of visual space.Sunday, January 19, 2014

This shelf is attractive but does me no good when it is broken. One of the glass shelves was completely fractured off both metal spools that holds it to the frame. Finding a 2 tier component shelf in anything but black with Prime shipping is next to impossible, so now I have to decide to try again with a replacement or keep looking.Monday, January 6, 2014

It would have been five stars, but this product is cheap and one of the shelves broke once i got it. There was a lot of dust on them as well.Read Best Reviews of Gallery Solutions Black Hexagallery Decorative Wall Shelves, 3-Piece Here
Extremely cool little shelves. The hexagonal shape is quite unique, and it's fun to cluster the group into different arrangements depending on the available space.I would have given 5 stars, but the largest piece was damaged. Nothing severe, but one of the joints was broken and required some wood glue. Otherwise, a nifty product.

Walker Edison 52-Inch Wood TV Stand Console with Four Doors, Matte Black
The product is called the "Walker Edison 52-Inch Solid Wood TV Console with 4 Doors."
The description reads: "Elegance and function combine to give this contemporary solid wood TV console a striking appearance. The design gives a stylish modern look crafted with solid Asian hardwood. Console will accommodate most flat-screen TVs up to 55 in. Adjustable shelving allows for a wide range of A/V components."
While much of the cabinet is some sort of wood, a significant and visible panel is particle board. The particle board is the 52-inch by 16-inch bottom panel of the cabinet. The front edge of this panel is visible along the full front length of the cabinet, as the doors fit within the frame rather than over it. The laminate on this particle board piece arrived with chipped and cracked edges.
While most of the rest of the console is wood, ours arrived with some pieces that were cracked -not split open, but with cracked seams.
I called the company, which said that it is not responsible the description that appears on Amazon's Web site.
Just an FYI for other customers who, like us, were searching specifically for something that does not contain particle board.the packing for the item was good. The item itself was garbage, and not wood but particle board. The instructions were miss printed and completely the wrong picture in places. While assembling the way describe the flimsy particle board front bottom panel( which is almost the entire support for this item cracks and the pin holder came completely out of the board. The box had gotten thrown out or i would have returned this item the same day. DO NOT BUY!! you will be sorry if you do, and forget putting a television on this flimsy piece of junk unless it is your soon to be ex-wife/husband's. i gave it 1 star because will not allow no stars.

I really liked the look of this media stand, but I ordered and the first box had sustained damage in transit that impacted and marred the wood. I contacted the manufacturer who related that I needed to contact Amazon and provided the contact number. I did and they quickly rectified the situation by ordering a replacement and sending a return shipping label. Unfortunately, the replacement had a damaged piece that did not seem to be the fault of the transporation company as the damaged piece was packaged in the center of the box and no other pieces were damaged. I again contacted Amazon and this time asked for a refund which was provided the same date and a return shipping label was e-mailed to me again. Amazon also picked up the charges for UPS to pick the item up at my home instead of me having to take it to the local UPS pick up facility. Amazon's customer service was excellent...too bad the product did not meet up to the standards of what I needed. By the way, the color is more of a cherry rather than walnut.Read Best Reviews of Walker Edison 52-Inch Wood TV Stand Console with Four Doors, Matte Black Here
This is a hefty package that really takes 2 people to carry into your home. Unlike the previous reviewer, it took me about 8 hours to put together (I'm not the handiest person and I was very slow and methodical putting it together). One person can put this unit together although a second set of hands would be helpful.The unit pieces are very well packaged -while the outside cardboard was dinked up the there was not a scracth on any of the pieces and every piece is individually numbered which helps the assembly process considerably. Keep a vacuum handy -there are lots of little styrofoam pieces to protect the components that will fly all over your room otherwise.
Follow the instructions to the letter (e.g., if there are five predrilled holes, the instructions will identify the two holes to insert a wooded dowel -put it in the wrong hole and you'll have problems).
I ordered the unit on a Saturday and paid the extra $3.99 for one-day delivery. It arrived on Monday -typical fantastic Amazon.com and UPS fulfillment and delivery.
The unit stands 25 inches tall -NOT 24 inches as described in the listing. This probably won't matter 99% of the time but FYI.
As the other reviewer stated, measure you components in advance -the inside shelf space is just under 14" deep (or you can carve out the back of the unit (there are several holes in the back where you can run wires out the back of the unit) which is very lightweight. Also, make sure your components' remote controls work through the glass doors before you do all your wiring.
This is a nice, plain piece of furniture that will easily hold a 55" plasma. A 65" would probably fit also but the TV might extend a little bit on either side of the stand -measure in advance.
I'm very happy with the unit. It is

There is nothing more satisfying than having built something yourself! In this day and age where we have no time to have a hobby, I was thrilled to have a slow time on my work schedule to be able to commit to this home project!After delivery, seeing that the box was indented in many places, I was expecting to hear the familiar, glass crumble-shake sounds. However, upon opening, I was very surprised to see everything nicely protected and well packed. The glass was separately wrapped with cardboard and intact. Even the door knobs were well protected!
The Assembly was fun to do, and the instructions were very easy to understand. All in all, it took me 3 1/2 easy-paced evenings. All the screw holes were pre-tapped and accurate, which is amazing in itself!
The ONLY thing is, this should be noted in the manual, DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE CAM LOCKS! I snapped 3 of them. Fortunately, they give you extra parts. Also, putting the glass into the doors was a bit delicate. Compared to the rest of the assembly, this is more Zen like. The same thing applies. Don't over-tighten the screws.
All in all, everything worked out fine, the Console looks great and is very solid. It is exactly what I was looking for and I saved $300 $500 by assembling it myself. No Joke. Also, it's made of real wood, not particle board!
About myself...I an average 56 year old Woman in the SF Bay Area, where Carpentry is not my main skill. This project, has re-kindled a joy, that "build it yourself" can offer. Plus, I am thrilled to have saved all that cash. I would recommend this TV Console highly and kudos to Walker Edison who definitely has their act together. So, thanks!

ISS Designs Shelving Hardware System for 4 Rows of 6-Inch Deep Shelves, 72-Inch Vertical Simple Sta
You can't go wrong with the basic shelving configurations offered through Amazon, and delivery may be faster with prime accounts. While you must be close to exact on your hanging measurements I do agree with one poster, this exceeds the quality of Ikea. Ikea is an excellent source of inexpensive shelf materials, I would order all the metal pieces from ISS Designs. I am considering going with a 6" deep shelf unit but using colored plexiglass as the shelving material.I received my shelving hardware and I really like the way it looks. I really do. It's sleek, modern, and I like the fact that I got to add my own shelves. Overall though, I think that they are grossly overpriced for what you get which is basically two aluminum vertical strips and a few aluminum shelf brackets. The shelves just rest on top of the brackets, so if you don't want them to fall off, you have to figure out a way to anchor them yourself. I made shelves out of wood planks and used heavy-duty velcro to anchor mine. The shelves look nice and all, but if I had a chance to redo, I'd have probably looked for something a little better priced.

This cabinet was packaged well, assembled easily, and looks beautiful in my family room. The instructions were understandable. I took my time and assembled it while listening to the television; it took me a couple of hours.Read Best Reviews of Alexandria 60" Low Profile TV Stand Here
This item was very well packed and all pieces were flawless. The instruction manual was easy to follow and written in large print. All the hardware was present. It is a very good looking piece and very functional. Be sure to measure all your equipment so that it fits into the cabinet. It is not very deep and some of the older pieces such as older DVD players may not fit. The assembly took about an hour and a half, not including the unpacking which takes at least 30 minutes due to the excellent packing job. The assembly went smoothly due to the well-written instruction manual. It will take another 15 minutes to hook up all your equipment, so you are looking at approximately a two hour job. It is well worth it when you see how nice this piece looks. It is really good looking and I would recommend this item to any one.Want Alexandria 60" Low Profile TV Stand Discount?
The unit arrived very well packagedin fact two boxesone huge one for the body of the TV stand and one small box for the ball feet... both well protected and no damage at all to the unit. The shipper arrived on the day I chose within the five hour window.I was excited about this piece of furniture because the manufacturer claims "Solid hardwood and veneer construction". In fact, it is largely composition wood and veneers. The doors are solid but that appears to be the extent of it. Quite typical of most every other piece of "asembly required" furniture, it seems.
The color of the wood stain is uniform throughout and, with a light furniture polishing, it has a wonderful rich tone. The table top appears to be cherry-stained oak or ash.
Assembly was straight-forward and rather effortless. The directions were simple and clearly illustrated. This reviewer assembled the unit solo in just under two hours. All parts alligned up well and fit together perfectly.
Because wood glue was not used, as hoped, (the glue-able joints weren't solid wood), I am hoping the cams hold securely. (Just will remember not to attempt to lift it by the top!)
As a piece of furniture, though, it is well designed and very attractive, and the photos reflect its true appearance. It fits perfectly in the area we intended for it, It is attractive, functional and, hopefully the materials will last for as long as if made of solid wood.
Had it been actually solid wood through out, it would have been wonderful, but at the price it is offered, it is a good deal.
