Legare 24-Inch Deep Shelf

Legare 24-Inch Deep ShelfI bought this separately to use underneath the Legare Peninsula. It houses my huge HP All-in-One Printer that was a major eyesore sitting on the desktop. $40+ seems like a lot to spend on a shelf, but the desktop space that it freed up is very worth it. I should also mention that the Legare system (including this shelf) has enough holes to string the cables/wires from the printer to the computer and keep them out of sight.

I use this with the 30" desk extension and it has done very well for me. It is deep enough to put a printer/scanner.

We bought the Legare corner set, peninsula and file cabinet and it is amazing. Seriously, there are not tools required. I'm adding a shelf and an extra file cabinet today. I really recommend the Legare desk set. It was easy to assemble and it looks great. We bought it in espresso. Very handsome looking piece.

Storage Dynamics JB6032 Slide Out Storage Tower

Storage Dynamics JB6032 Slide Out Storage TowerI bought one for a small apartment kitchen. It works just great in a 6" gap between fridge and counter, exactly like the photo in the offering. It quickly snapped together in three minutes. I use it to store my cooking oils, sauces, and spices, and I can quickly see what's on hand.

My chief criticism is the price. The product is very light plastic and just sturdy enough. I would expect to pay $14.99 $19.99 for similar.

If I could cover the front of this with a cabinet cover panel (readily available for almost any cabinet series), I would use this even in a fancy gourmet kitchen, but the curved front panel and thin plastic do not readily permit any customization.

We remodeled our kitchen and I opted for a lower storage cabinet with drawers instead of a dishwasher. This left a 6.5" space which was great for the stepladder and a few trays but looked messy. This little pantry fits perfectly in that little space. Now I can fit cereal boxes which are generally too tall for my cupboards, wine bottles and other stuff. I am delighted that it also holds the 18, 22 and 24 count boxes of Keurig K-cups perfectly which is great because they take up sooooo much room. Please note that the stuff on the top shelf will be visible because the way it is designed leaves approximately 6 inches of open space at the top. (Put the pretty things there!) The bottom shelf has the front and back trays with the sides the same height, both about 3 inches. The middle and top shelf have one side about 3 inches and the other about 1.5 inches. The bottom shelf has vents on both sides and the bottom while the upper 2 sheves have vents only on the bottom with solid sides. You could put it together with the bottom shelf on the top if you needed extra drawer space, which I considered for big kitchen tools and pot holders. The shelves and sides are interchangeable and the wheel sets will fit in any of the shelves. The unit goes together in about 2 minutes, no tools or screws BONUS!!! It seems very sturdy too. I had it out of the box and filled in about 5 minutes. Now my coutnter tops are clear. Yay! One more thing, I didn't have a tape measure handy, so my measurements were eyeballed and approximate.

I picked this up to go in a tiny little gap between the sink & wall in our bathroom. Since we have no linen closet, storage space is premium & this was the ONLY slide-out shelving I could find that was narrow enough to fit the space I have.

I was a little worried that it might not be sturdy enough to hold much or would look cheap, but it's perfect. While it does look like plastic, (which it is) it doesn't look CHEAP just "utilitarian." I'm also looking forward to the fact that the plastic will clean up easily with any eventual toothpaste-wars my teens might decide to wage, without warping or staining. Most importantly though, it doesn't wobble at all when slid in & out, and is currently holding a half-dozen cleaning supplies, a small mountain of shampoos & body-washes, and the mouthwash & toothbrush-recharger that had currently been cluttering the sink. I am MORE than impressed with how much this little shelf can hold!

While this definitely has the potential to be wobbly if used as a stand-alone unit because of it's height-to-width ratio, it is VERY sturdy when slid between two solid surfaces! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting something to fill a gap!

I was very disappointed with this product. I have been looking at this storage tower for months. I would put it in my cart and take it out and put it back, then save for later and then put back in the cart etc. I wasn't sure if I should purchase it or not. Finally my husband said "just buy it already" so I did. I was very excited to receive it, but when it arrived I was shocked at how small the box was. I asked my husband to put it together and when he finished and brought it to me I replied, "where is the rest of it?"

Now this might be my mistake for not reading the information close enough, but I honestly thought that this item would be taller and longer. I will only be able to put MAYBE half of what I planned on it. Now like I said this might be my fault and normally I would rate this a 4/5 for the fact that it is so small, but this item is receiving a 2/5 from me due to quality.

The tower is made of a flimsy hard plastic that is snapped together. It is supposed to roll smoothly in and out of the location you put it but does not. First when I tried to pull it out the top end cap came off. Then after fixing that I pulled it out again and the back bottom wheels fell off, and this was before putting anything on the cart. It is really more frustrating than anything, but for the amount I paid I would have at least expected it to stay together. I understand the idea of "you get what you pay for", so for $29 I didn't expect anything too fancy, but I did expect something that wouldn't break before even putting my stuff on it. It is really too much of an inconvenience for me to ship this back, and who knows maybe once I start using it I will love it, but I don't think that will be the case.

My advice to anyone trying to decide if they want this cart is beware. If you really need storage space, spend the extra money and buy the original Thin Man Pantry which will be of much better quality.

Good luck and may you all have a better experience than I.

This is a great idea for using that space between the refrigerator and wall/ cabinet/ stove. It slides back far enough to allow opening of the door, yet slides out to give access to the items stored.

The cart is made out of Polypropylene, a firm yet flexible plastic. This means that you will have trouble with buckling over time if you attempt to store heavy items like liquids. However the advantage of this is I am able to easily drill a few holes and attach a pegboard to hold more utensils and a few baskets for spices.

What I found missing in this description was the dimensions. I measured this at 22 inches wide, 25 inches tall and 5 inches deep. As an interesting addition, you can buy more then one and make this a taller, 50 inches, unit to hold spices, foil bag mixes, and wrap boxes.

4 Tier Shower Caddy Tension Pole with Snap-N-Fit Technology

4 Shelf Tension Pole by Better BathPlease be aware when purchasing items from this company, they do not honor their own return policy as stated on their product packaging. My shower caddy rusted within a week after purchasing it, despite a rust proof guarantee. The packaging states: "In case of customer dissatisfaction, return this product, along with the original sales receipt, to the factory. Consumer will be refunded for the return postage and may choose either a no charge replacement or a refund of the original purchase price." And when I requested a refund, I was told that their return policy has now changed, regardless of what was written on my product's packaging.

*I just want consumers out there to be aware of my personal experience with this company, and hopefully it will be of use in their decision-making process.

I purchased this item elsewhere and had a heck of a time with it. If you use all four bars, it's too tall. If you use only three, it's too short (this is going from tub to ceiling, not floor to ceiling). Then to top it off, it started rusting within 3 days. Shouldn't something that's made for the tub be rust-proof???

The only good thing about it is it does what it's supposed to do, it holds bath accessories. Once I got it in the shower, that is. Since the 4th bar made the pole too tall, I had to place it in the tub with just the three bars and bunch up hand towels under the bottom of it to hold it in place.

I think Better Bath must have had a contest to find the worst possible set of instructions for how to assemble their bath and shower caddy. The instructions really shouldn't be that complicated. A simple, large diagram with annotations should have sufficed. Instead, it's 10 steps (well, 11 because there's a 3 and 3B) that barely make any sense.

Fortunately, i've put a few of these together in my day, so i was able to mostly ignore the instructions.

I've had ours up for several weeks now, and not had any problem with rust like one of the other reviewers. There are four shelves, one of which has a little washcloth bar, and another with a rounded bottom for holding things like loofas. For two people with only a few shower products each, it's more than enough room (one shelf of ours is empty, which we rationalize by saying it's the Guest Shelf).

Measure carefully before buying, though, and make sure the space you'll be putting this in is at least 7' 8" (92"). There's a zinger in the last step of the instructions. It says, "Since there is no standard ceiling height, it may be necessary to reduce the height of the Pole Caddy by carefully cutting off some of the 1/2" diameter tube." They offer no advice on how to 'carefully cut' the metal pole indicated, but i assume some clamps and a metal saw of some sort would be involved.

This was exactly what I wanted for my walk-in shower !

I've used it for over a year and only one complaint. One of the trays keeps falling down. It is secured with only a rubber gromet. All in all, I would purchase this again. It has ample storage area and looks good too !
