Piper 60" TV Stand

Piper 60' TV StandThis is perfect for my 60 inch plasma tv! Easy to put together. Just needed help to center the panels when putting on the top piece which is heavy. Very heavy. Looks great! I like that it isn't just plain black. Shows a little bit of wood grain all over. Is made from particle board, but heavy and doesn't feel or look cheap. Great price too!

Natural Weave Liner

Natural Weave LinerI love this stuff! The natural weave with black zig zag pattern adds dimension and style to any shelf. It is easy to cut and it stays in place without adhesives. The inside of my drab 80's kitchen cupboards look fantastic with this quick and easy makeover. I have also lined cabinets on our sailboat! Not only does it look great, it keeps things in place! The only negative I wish it came wider than 12"

Seville Classics Resin-Wood Composite Utility Shoe Rack

Seville Classics Resin-Wood Composite Utility Shoe RackAs my husband said "this was ridiculously easy to put together" and it looks nice too! The frame is metal and the shelves are metal frame/plastic slats. It has adjustable feet and fits in our entry way perfectly.

I received this item and put it together in about five minutes. I like it so well, I'm going to order two more. It is sturdy and decent-looking for the price. It holds three pairs of women's shoes on each shelf, plus three more pairs of flats on the floor underneath the bottom shelf. While there isn't a lot of room between shelves, I can fit my 3" heels on them with no difficulty. The directions come with pictures of various configurations if you want to combine units for more storage plus the hardware you need if you want to stack units. My closet hasn't been this neat in ages and I'm looking forward to getting more units to get it even tidier.

Admittedly, I didn't have a lot of expectations for a shoe rack. But this a a great product.

When I moved into a new condo, I bought a little plastic shoe rack that shoes were supposed to fit on these tongues. But they weren't wide enough for men's shoes so I could only fit about 5 pairs on a rack that claimed to hold 9 pairs.

This Seville shoe rack is much better. The shelves are high enough and wide enough for 3 pairs of men's shoes on each rack so a total of 9 pairs (perhaps more for women and kid shoes).

Why else did this rack get five stars? Because of the simplicity to set up. From the time I took it out of the box until I had it in my closet was about 2 minutes and required no tools or thinking. It could have been faster but I decided to put on the balancing feet (which aren't necessary in a carpeted closet).

It feels very stable and easy to move around.

In summary, a well designed product that accomplishes its purpose at a good price.

This shore rack is probably the best I've purchased so far. Its frame is metal and the shelves are resin-wood. The rack is very stable and acomodates shoes of all sizes(boots must be placed on the top shelf however); the rack is very well made and does not wiggle at all. It can be stacked, but two units are needed, so I went ahead and ordered 2 more, because it is that good; in the box, you get 4 small adapter pieces/rods that can be used for stacking 2+ racks. Excellent product!

Here are the measurements:

Length: 26.5"

Width: 12.25"

Height: 18.5"

Hope this helps.

I pulled this out of the box and was initially a little dismayed. I thought, "oh no, not something else to assemble." I was quite thrilled when after reading the simple directions that all i had to do was screw in the feet by hand (it doesnt need a screwdriver). That took all of 30 seconds. You then snap the shelves in. The whole process took 5 minutes at most.

The frame is metal, while the pieces where the shoes will be placed are wood. It is fairly light, around 10 lbs.

My wife was skeptical that we would fit 9 pairs of shoes on this, she thought 6 at most. We were able to get 9 pairs of shoes on the three shelves, while sliding some flip-flops and slippers under the bottom rack. All in all we have 11 pairs of footwear on or under this shelf.

It looks nice in our kitchen, that borders the living room. We keep it here so we can take off our shoes and not trudge water or dirt onto the carpet.

We are both very pleased with the look, organization, and price of this shoe rack.

Classroom Keepers Book Shelf

Classroom Keepers Book ShelfThe seller should have mentioned this item was made out of cardboard... for the price, I suspected it might be made from thick cardboard; but I was surprised at how flimsy it was. The directions were difficult to follow, so the flimsy cardboard got all bent up while I was putting it together. My highest hope is that it will at least survive one school year... save your money and get something sturdier...

We bought this for an infant room thinking sturdy meant that it would hold up. We were very surprised when we opened the package to find CARDBOARD. The seller has since deleted a "seller review." Also, returning has not been successful.

My daughter purchased 2 of these for her classroom, unfortunately they went out with the curbside recycling this evening. They were terrible to put together, did not stand upright, books fell to the bottom of the unit and made for a total disappointment and waste of money. Too bad she purchased these in a hurry and didn't read the reviews. A lesson learned for sure. Recycle a cardboard box from your local dumpster, you'll be much happier!

This is a small cardboard shelf that is nothing like i thought it was! DO NOT spend $16 on a piece of cardboard go to wal-mart and get a shelf used for organizing and only spend $15 and you will get better quality longer shelf life and what you expect!

Akro-Mils 30250 Plastic Storage Stacking Hanging Akro Bin, 15-Inch by 16-Inch by 7-Inch, Stone, Cas

Akro-Mils 30250 Plastic Storage Stacking Hanging Akro Bin, 15-Inch by 16-Inch by 7-Inch, Stone, Case of 6Already had a couple from unknown source. Ordered more because they fit perfectly into new storage cabinets and contents are viewable. Shipping was near immediate.

The item clearly shows that this is for a case of 6 bins, when in fact these are sold seperately and charged full price. Watch out. If you read the item description below you can see it's for one bin, not 6

Neu Home Organize It All Chrome 24-Can Holder

Neu Home Organize It All Chrome 24-Can Holder...so I could examine one in its pristine state. Mine arrived a bit bent. Still usable, but bent nonetheless. Bent at the weld points-not the actual rails (the rails are straight as hell). the result is that it won't sit flat on a horizontal surface, but rather canters playfully; and when the contraption is inside the fridge, and you load a can from the top chute (which, admit it, is half the fun of this toy-er, space-saver) it "miscues" approximately 40% of the time, with the can turning perpendicular to the direction of travel, and preventing any further loading of cans until you reach waaaay back in the fridge and give the errant can a 90 degree twist. On the other hand, I can say that once all the cans have been loaded correctly, I have never had one "miscue" by removing one from the front.

I suspect this slight bent-ness (which I notice was mentioned in other reviews) may have more to do with OIA's shipping methods, rather than a quality control issue at the factory,... but that is totally a hunch. I have no evidence to support my theory.

I will be ordering another one, because the complaints are minor compared to the efficiency gained, and I will consider reporting any further discoveries in a future review.

P.S. Keep in mind that any canned beers (what? Oh, was I the only one using this thing for beer? well excuse me!) manufactured by Coors (e.g. keystone, coors light) are for some inexplicable reason, like, 1/16 of an inch taller than any other can. Their cans still fit (barely) in the can holder contraption, but the "miscue" rate shoots up drastically to say, 80%.

4D Concepts Boy's TV Cart, Beech

4D Concepts Boy's TV Cart, BeechI really love this product but I have two complaints. First, the wheels are very cheap. They are plastic and they suck simply put. I had to replace them because one of the wheels broke within 24 hours of purchase and there wasn't even anything on the stand yet. The other I have isn't really a complaint but the backboard has no hole in it so if you plan on putting a component in the little cubby you should probably cut a hole in the backboard prior to assembling the stand just to make it easier on yourself as I didn't lol. Otherwise it is a great stand and it looks great.

I ordered this cabinet for the room my grandchildren use when they are visiting. We had a small TV to put on it and the bins underneath to be used as toy storage. It was not difficult to assemble, although it did take about an hour. The quality is as expected for a particle board cabinet, but appears to be well designed and very sturdy. I am pleased with the cabinet.

I ordered 6 of these, and 4 of them came with stickers on them that matched the surfaces. The stickers were designed to cover up flaws. Since the stickers were mostly on top and we were using them for printers, this was not a huge problem. If you are using the surface, you may want to select something else. We also switched the drawers so they would match each other. They come with drawers in two colors to match some of their other accessories.

Rubbermaid 7083 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage Cabinet

Rubbermaid 7083 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage CabinetI decided to clean out the garage after being inspired by a friend who was doing the same. He ended up purchasing the Coleman series which is soo much nicer! The doors have actual hinges on them and they look better. I got the father's day special so for the money I can't complain. Except for the shipping. When I saw the box, I thought for sure these were smashed but they were just a little dented. Get ready to tap lightly with a soft hammer. The box says no tools, but don't believe it.Target had a lower price but I didn't want to pick them up. Target also carries the coleman. I'm saving you time and legwork. Spend 30% more and go with the coleman brand unless you have the money to go with Garage Tek look alikes. If I could do this again, I'd spend the 30% more.

Updated May 30, 2006 after owning for 2 years.

These are in my garage holding paint cans, auto cleaning supplies etc. I would not purchase these again and am looking for replacements. The sleves are now warped in the middle and smaller items fall or roll into the dip. If you are just storing rafts or lawn cushions you should be allright. If you have paint cans or heavier items, opt for metal shelving.

When I bought this cabinet I planned to use it outdoor to store my gardening tools and other stuffs like fertilizer and pesticide. Upon its arrival I discovered the unit wasn't exactly meant for outdoor use right out of the box.

The problem is that the cabinet top is not watertight. After one night of rain there was quite a bit of water inside the cabinet. After some trials and errors I ended up solving the problem by gluing (using silicon) a piece of corrugated vinyl roofing panel on top of the cabinet. This seems to work fines. The roofing panel costs about $7 each at Home Depot. You can cut the panel with a pair of scissors to the right size. Be sure to cut it a little bigger, about an inch or two on each side to give extra protection from heavy rains.

The other reviewer mentioned that the doors are not lined up. This can be fixed by putting shims under the four bottom corners of cabinet. You need to experiment with this. By putting shims under differ "legs" you'll notice the alignments of the doors change.

Another thing about this cabinet is the shelves inside have slots, meaning that if there is a spill on the top shelf the fluid will get the shelves below very quickly.

This cabinet does have some pros, however: reasonably priced, shelving included, good storage capacity, and able to hold heavy stuffs. Assembly was straight forward, although somewhat tedious.

This cabinet is OK if you are using it in your garage and have a perfectly flat floor. If I were to do it again I probably would spend another $60-$80 more and get a different unit.

Buy Rubbermaid 7083 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage Cabinet Now

I have owned three of these units for several years.

Two of them are in my unheated detached garage and one is in my basement.

I have used one for garden/lawn storage such a fertilizer, bug sprays, yard waste bags, plastic bags,

pails, tarps, extension cords, lawn sprinklers, coolers and assorted sports equipment for the grandkids.

The second one has been used for automotive related items such as our waterproof cartop carrier,

antifreeze, oil, windshield washer fluid, winter gloves, ice scrapers, snow brushes, well, you get my drift.

The third one is in the basement storing my Marine Corps gear and I have been very satisfied with it.

I have had absolutely no problem with using them in the garage or the basement.

They are in the same shape as when I received them.

Do keep in mind that these are not air-tight cabinets. If you need that type of storage unit look elsewhere.

Along with using the HyLoft 45-by-45-Inch Overhead Storage System #00540 my garage is MUCH MORE organized and I am MUCH LESS frustrated trying to find exactly what I need! I would recommend buying the cabinet for the uses as stated above. ~ The Boss

We ordered 2 of these for our basement. The second one went together much easier as we knew what we were doing. However, it took longer than the 15 minutes the directions said and also had to use a rubber mallet. The cabinets are perfect for basement storage. Would not want to use them outside, however, they are great for basement or garage storage. I plan on ordering another one. Holds lots of stuff behind closed doors!

Want Rubbermaid 7083 72-Inch Four-Shelf Double-Door Resin Storage Cabinet Discount?

Like another reviewer, my Rubbermaid #7083 cabinet arrived in a somewhat disheveled box (torn open in one spot), but the contents were OK. Assembly was easy--like several other reviewers, I too found that using a heavy rubber mallet was more essential than optional to fit the pieces together. Be prepared to clean out lots of disk-shaped pieces of plastic from the hollow of the panels (normal by-products of the manufacturing process), unless you're content to let those waste pieces rattle inside the panels. Of course, once you have the cabinet assembled and filled with whatever you fill it with, it's not going to be moving--so you won't hear any rattles (except possibly in the door panels). If you can live with junk pieces inside the panels, that will save you several minutes during the assembly process.

All in all, I'm happy with my purchase; I'm using the cabinet in my garage.

Alera Shelf Liners For Wire Shelving, Clear Plastic, 4/Pack

Alera 36-Inch by 18-Inch Clear Plastic Shelf Liners for Wire Shelving, 4-PackSo glad I made the purchase. The liner had to be cut to fit the stainless steel shelves, but that was easy. All you need is a box cutter and a yard stick. Once you place your items (my appliances, etc) on top of the liner, it will not buckle or sink in between the stainless steel bars of the shelf. Great product.

This shelf liner is perfect; it is not thin and flimsy like some other that I had bought previously. This liner is thick and sturdy. With a box cutter and yard stick (or level), you are able to easily and quickly cut this to the exact length and width you need. I have this on my utility room shelves and it is a breeze to wipe clean, holds all of my cleaning supplies securely, and now I don't have to worry about things tipping over on the wire shelving. I would recommend this liner!

This are really thick, great quality liners. They come as four pre-cut liners, not a roll that you cut yourself. They ended up being just a smidge too big for my pantry shelves, so I cut a tiny bit off and they fit great. Fantastic price for such sturdy liners.

These do the job. I was trying to put some things on my wire shelves that just don't place well on the wires: e.g. small bottles, small cans, my George Foreman Grill (the legs go through the wires), etc. My only complaint is that my shelves came with 5 shelves, but they only give you 4 liners with this product. In all fairness, they are NOT the same manufacturer and I can probably put things on the top shelf that don't need a liner, but just wanted to remind the reader to count their shelves and their needs.

These liners make your wire shelves complete. I have several of these metal wire shelving units (e.g. Seville Classics SHE18484 18-Inch by 48-Inch by 72-Inch Shelving System, Chrome) in my garage, and now in my office and photography studio too. These liners greatly improve the usability of the shelves for small items and even placing moving my printer around, since I can slide it now and not struggle with items getting caught or falling through the wires. If you're going to put anything other than boxes on your shelves, I highly recommend these liners and best of all they are easily customizable to any size you need with just a ballpoint pen and scissors (see attached photo) for any other wire shelves you may have. Luckily for me Amazon ships these to APOs quickly and easily, since it was hard to find these in Germany!

FURINNO 4-Tier Open Shelf Bookcase Shelving Unit

FURINNO 4-Tier Open Shelf Bookcase Shelving UnitI was hesitant to buy this with no reviews and after seeing all the poor reviews on the other bookshelves by this manufacturer, but for the price ($39 & free shipping) it was worth the risk. I am pleasantly surprised! The bookshelf is sturdy, looks nice, and is absolutely perfect for what I needed it for a shelf to hold my preschooler's books, puzzles, and activities. It is compact (check the measurements does not hold large books and the shelves are not deep) which is just what I needed. It arrived in good shape, was very easy to put together, and is sturdy.

The only BIG downside is that the 20 screws you use to screw the shelves in are exposed on the sides of the shelf! This is REALLY ugly and does not show up in the manufacturer's photos. See my picture. Otherwise I would have given the bookshelf 5 stars it is worth the price for a cheap bookshelf that does the job.

I bought this to go with a Mahogony crib that I just bought. To my surprise, I received the bookshelf and EVERYTHING is in Chinese. Then the bookshelf was not Mahogony like the 7 online pictures showed but it was WHITE. I was extremely upset and going to return it but the sane husband said not to worry about it. If I had know that the packaging and paperwork was going to be in Chinese and that the bookshelf wasn't going to be the correct color, I wouldn't have bought this.

Very easy to assemble but there was no covers to hide the screw heads going down both sides of shelves. Of the 5 shelves 3 were damaged (corners buckled or 1 missing about 1" of the laminate covering on the corner). Would definately return but was just too much trouble...will not repurchase from this company!

Da-Lite 42067 Deluxe 425 Project-o Stand Projection 17INX25IN Table Shelf

Da-Lite 42067 Deluxe 425 Project-o Stand Projection 17INX25IN Table ShelfI purchased this table to go with a projector.

The good:

1. The table top is larger than I thought, resulting in the pleasant surprise of additional counter space to hold my DVDs and various paraphernalia.

2. It is very sturdy you would not easily knock this table over, making it especially safe around kids.

3. You can raise it very high, which means that you can put a projector behind a bunch of kids without worrying about a head blocking the screen.

The bad:

1. Based on the picture, I thought the legs folded out from hinges on the corners of the table. They don't. You have to screw four of them in and out manually each time. This is a hassle.

2. It's uncomfortably heavy you certainly would not want to carry it for long. While the weight makes it more stable, it also means it's more of a pain to put together and pull apart. As a result, you'll tend to leave it sitting in a corner between uses, which to me means it's not really portable it's more of a semi-permanent fixture.

I have a super-lightweight camera stand (which I love) and thought this was going to be just like that. While it's certainly up to the task of holding your projector, I believe it could be designed effectively with less than a quarter of the weight and with fold out legs. I'll keep it, but would not buy it again.

These tables are great for their portability, size and stability. We use these for our on-location photography and place our laptop computers on them. The adjustable height them ideal for our various employess. I would highly recommend them. Be sure you are purchasing the correct size for your application.

It's fairly simple and works as such.

The handle is unbearable. More than 2 minutes of carrying and you'll need phys therapy.

The first unit I got, one of the nuts was stripped. Given the depth of thread, it would be physically impossible to do this tightening by hand and the embedded nut had every appearance of being overbored, so I think it was just a bad nut. It still worked in that the pole would not easily pull out of the stand/nut (I would still need to unthread it) but it wouldn't tighten, making it a little more wobbly.

Amazon shipped out a replacement and I had it in a few days, with very little hassle.

I would only take off 1/2 star for the bad nut. Quality control could get this if they threaded in the legs, but that would add a lot of cost so I understand.

I took off a 1.5 stars for the bad handle. No excuse for that.

Glass Shelf with Rail - Satin Nickel

Glass Shelf with Rail - Satin NickelThis replaced a caddy that was on the shower head. I especially liked the fact it had the metal piece that keeps things from sliding off the shelf. The shelf had to be installed right above where the tile is in the shower so it's a little bit of a reach for me (I'm 5'6"), so without the metal barrier, it would be easy to accidentally push something off. Attractive, seemed easy for my husband to install, good size. No complaints.
