Winsome Granville Foldable Small Corn Husk Basket, Chocolate,4-Piece

Winsome Granville Foldable Small Corn Husk Basket, Chocolate,4-PieceOnce I unfolded the baskets, you would never guess they were collapsible unless you looked really close. The only downside is that a couple sides were peeling. Nothing major and I just put those sides to the back. Overall a great buy for the price.

New, 10-Inch Long, Wine Glass Rack, Wire Hanging Rack, Wine Glass Hanging Rack, Wire Wine Glass Han

New, 10-Inch Long, Wine Glass Rack, Wire Hanging Rack, Wine Glass Hanging Rack, Wire Wine Glass Hanger Rack, Stemware Rack, Under Cabinet, Chrome FinishI bough three of these to put under one of our kitchen cabinets. The arrived as advertised but after installing and using them disappointing and eventually decided to uninstall and find a better solution. Here are my complaints:

1. They are just an inch or two too short. 3 medium wine glasses don't fit comfortably, making us nervous that the last glass might slip out and break on the counter top. This isn't the sellers fault necessarily but...

2. The biggest issue is the "V" opening. It looks good but effectively reduces the depth making it much easier for a glass to slip out. This issue caused us to uninstall and search for another solution.

3. The screws could be better. They are unnecessarily long and poked through the bottom of my cabinet. Also they are cheap so some of the heads stripped despite predrilling holes.

After uninstalling I went to Lowes and to my surprise I found almost identical wine racks both in terms of finish and dimensions but CHEAPER and without the flaws mentioned above. They were the same length but they'd a square opening for the glasses in stead of the "V" opening. That gave us just enough room to store three glasses comfortably. The screws were also the correct length and better quality.

Overall these would be OK if I you were buying longer racks making the V opening a non-issue. The screws would still be insufficient but that would be an annoying but minor issue. BUT if you are looking for something 10-12 inch in length, go to Lowes. You will get a better product at a better price.

I ordered these hesitantly as I've been looking at different wine glass racks for a while now and many comments were about the size of the entry point and such. When I received my order, 2 of the 3 racks were perfect... they fit my nice fancy glasses and look great. The third, however, was a completely different size and finish. It was still "chrome" but it has a different level of shiny and it has a different height and width so my glasses didn't fit and it protrudes below the height of the others once hung. Pretty annoying to not get the same item if you ask me...

Otherwise, the first two were exactly what I was looking for... and I'd love to have a few more just like those, but I'm hesitant to buy here.

I bought two of these racks and they were both poorly constructed. The two flat ends (with the screw holes) were welded incorrectly so that those pieces were crooked in relation to the metal bars that hold the glasses. It may have been okay if they were equally screwed up because I could create the illusion that they shouldn't be straight.

If only one of them were bad, I would shrug it off as being an anomaly, but since they were both bad, I have to credit a bad product. I would not recommend this product.

Ordered 5 of these wine racks. All were not properly welded. This made hanging and squaring the racks very difficult. Save your money. Dont buy this product.

It's low profile, so it hides under a cabinet easily. It holds wine glasses without any problem and I haven't experienced any negative effects (scratched glass, dropped glass, etc). All in all, it's exactly what you would expect it to be.

Entertainment Center Contemporary Style in Cappuccino Finish

Entertainment Center Contemporary Style in Cappuccino FinishQuality is pretty good. There were no scratches on any of the wood. Beware, the central area for the television is 50 inch television, fitting it would be questionable. Putting it together is no problem if you have the tools and are somewhat handy, but at times an extra hand is needed. Overall, a pretty good buy.

i would be lying to say that it was easy to assemble....some hardware was difficult to fit into existing holes, but once i was on a role,,,it went up like a dream!! i thought for sure that it would be impossible to push upright, once assembled, but surprisingly easy to stand upright!

Edsal CB721836 Textured Silver and Black Steel Modular Workspace Storage System Cabinet, 4 Adjustab

Edsal CB721836 Textured Silver and Black Steel Modular Workspace Storage System Cabinet, 4 Adjustable Shelves, 72' Height x 36' Width x 18' Depth
  • Steel cabinet with four adjustable shelves and a 150 lb. per shelf capacity suitable for storage
  • Two hinged doors with full-length stiffeners for strength and a locking handle for security
  • Three-point locking system with a door latch and two vertical rods to hold the top and bottom of the door shut for security
  • Silver and black textured powder coat finish resists dirt, chipping, and corrosion
  • Assembly required, instructions included, tools for assembly sold separately

So we ordered one for the office. It was never delivered and the status was the UPS had returned it to the shipper because it was damaged in transit. I called amazon, they sent out a replacement but almost a week later, there was no shipping information, so I called Amazon and they were unsure of where it was, so they sent another which arrived damaged.

I did the best i could rebending all the metal pieces and we pried it together, dents in the doors and all.

That aside, had it been delivered in perfect shape, it would still only get 2 stars. There are visible round dents on the outside of the door, that appears to be caused from manufacturing. It was also really tough to put together, and for a heavy metal cabinet it manages to feel flimsy.

Very good product. Exactly as advertised, easy to assemble. Wished the base was a little sturdier, but no real problem. I would recommend to others who need storage.

This unit arrived in very poor shape. The panels were all dented and dinged and had to bend everything back in place just to fit it together. Not very secure once assembled either. The lock is flimsy and you could easily pry open the door with just your bare hands.

I have never received anything from Amazon as bad as this cabinet! The box it came in was beat up so I don't know why I expected anything better on the inside. This item consists on many pieces that must be bolted together. Every piece I took out of the box was bent in some way. In the middle of the box the doors had dents in them. There is no way the dents could have been caused by shipping in the middle of the box...they were dented before they were packed!

Don't buy this! You will be disappointed and will end up sending it back.

Nexxt FN16816-1 Pinot Series Black Wine Glass Rack, 6 Glass

Nexxt FN16816-1 Pinot Series Black Wine Glass Rack, 6 GlassThe shelf is very nice and fits very well into my kitchen decor. I do like the looks of this and it is very sturdy. The biggest problem for me were the wall anchors they included in the box. They didn't quite work for me. I ended up using my own anchors. I think the price was a little bloated for what I received though. Reasonably this should've been priced around $35 not $50.

looks great in my kitchen! i wouldn't suggest balloon shaped wine glasses. i bought tall red and balloon black glasses. if all 6 were balloon, it would be too crammed.

This wine glass holder was the perfect size for where I needed it, but after receiving 4 damaged ones I gave up. So now I'm going to sand the damaged finish off and repaint it. I will say that Amazon customer service is great.

4D Concepts Deluxe TV Stand

4D Concepts Deluxe TV StandI felt like I was shopping for a TV stand for years when I found this one and it was a great choice. For someone who has put together furniture like this before you'll find the setup is very easy and straightforward, took me about 90 minutes by myself (I'd recommend two people though, could easily shave off 30 mins with another set of hands). As someone with three small children I was very concerned with finding a stand that was sturdy and not a safety risk, I can't imagine a stand with legs any sturdier than this one... it's not going anywhere! I feel it looks even better than in the picture, it's certainly one of the nicest pieces of "put it together yourself" furniture I've ever owned. Packaging was also very good, not a scratch on it when I got it, and it would take quite a feat to mess it up in shipment.

Pros:

-Sturdy

-Higher quality door latches then similarly priced items

-Value from all the other stands I've seen this could easily sell for 2x as much

Cons:

-Glue! Gluing the little dowels was tedious, but adds to the sturdiness and clean look

-Height The dimensions are listed and are correct but my personal preference would have been something a bit taller, the image in the item description didn't help matters, just measure it out before you buy.

-Hardware Most furniture like this comes with a couple extra screws and dowels, not one spare to be found here, not that I needed it but there was a brief moment of panic when one of the screws ended up in the trash pile.

Bottom line, if you're looking to spend under $400 on a TV stand and don't need something 4' high, you cannot go wrong here.

This is a very nice looking tv stand that perfectly matches my living room furniture. It's easy to put together and very sturdy. It has plenty of shelving for the av components as well as hidden shelves for more storage.

I highly recommend this item.

Aviton Flat Panel TV Stand with Integrated Mount

Aviton Flat Panel TV Stand with Integrated Mounti work in the metal trades. this product screams, "i'm a cheap piece of junk!" there's no penetration on the welds, there's perhaps two threads engaged on any bolt, the bolts are pot-metal and the heads have very shallow engagement with assy tools. the unit is not sized for component AV equipment, it's for those HT=in-a-box units and game consoles. it comes packed up tight, but unpacks into a garbage hurricane of styrofoam bits, plastic bags and corrugated cardboard sheeting. the idea of packing the bits up and shipping it back, the absurd chore of it all, is the only thing that is keeping me from seeking a refund. if you move/relocate frequently, don't expect this unit to last but a couple of hops. for the price, i wasn't expecting a disposable unit.

good things to say? assy was easy enough, directions were easy to follow and all the hardware was enclosed.

I bought this stand 5-6 months ago and it's a great design and sturdy for the most part. My only gripe recently is I have a 55" Vizio TruLED and it's a pretty heavy TV and I've noticed while mounted on the back support of this stand, the TV leans forward a bit. It's not game breaking but certainly unusual to see, considering the TV is not over the weight limit for the stand. It's possible this is the way it's designed but that seems odd considering most people comment on it whenever they come over. If it had the option to sit on the glass as well, I would consider placing it on that with the mounts in place but I don't believe it supports that.

I bought this stand to replace a 42" Walker Edison stand, which also had a tv mount. The Walker Edison was a nice stand but too small for my components. (Some notes on the Walker Edison at the bottom if you're comparing the two.)

The Aviton provides plenty of space for big components, which was important for me. The stand is 44" wide with 11" of vertical space between the bottom shelves and 8" between the middle and top shelves. The depth of the shelves is 15.5" bottom, 17.5" middle and 14" top. My Pioneer AV receiver is on the bottom shelf and has about 3" of space behind it for wires, banana plugs, etc..

The TV mount has three height options. I used the highest option and my 50" plasma is 62.5" (5' 2.5") from the floor and doesn't lean. There is 11.5" of space between the top shelf and the bottom of the TV, which easily fits my 5" high center channel speaker.

The construction of the metal frame is great for the price. Some reviewer complained that the metal work isn't high grade and it may not be but for its intended purpose the frame is solid and square and the pre-drilled holes line up fine. The instructions say not to tighten the bolts until the end and this is why you need to move the frame around a little to line up some of the holes. It took me about 90 minutes to put the stand together and mount my plasma. All the parts were included, well labeled, and the instructions were easy to follow, just take your time.

The bottom shelf seems to be made of particle board with a glossy top, the second and third shelves are dark tempered glass. The bottom two shelves are supported in their centers by the frame so there was no bending (deflecton) under my components. The top shelf is supported by two bars on the sides, which should be sufficient for a center channel speaker.

Yes, it shows dust and finger prints. That's why they make dusters and remotes.

Overall, I'm very happy with it. It should last a long time.

Re: the 42" Walker Edison I replaced, it is also a great stand, well built and looked great (if you like cherry wood furniture), but the height between the bottom shelves was just under 7", which wasn't sufficient for my A/V receiver, and the wood frame covers the ends of the shelves, leaving about 32" of open width on each shelf, which crowded my components. The 60" version of the stand might have worked but I don't have that much space. If you don't need a lot of space for components and prefer the cherry wood frame on the Walker Edison, buy that one.

I was looking for a 3 tiered TV stand with a floating mount for the TV and it looked like this one fit the bill.

The item arrived very well packaged with each part sealed and padded with stryofoam. Get the vacuum cleaner ready because you are going to need it.

The instructions seemed a little intimidating at first with the amount of pieces and tons of screws included. After getting started, it was actually really easy as each part was clearly labeled along with which screws to use. The left over screws are for the TV mount with numerous lengths provided depending on the type of TV you have.

After completing the set up, I was able to mount the TV by myself. One you install the bracket on the back of your TV, it simply hooks on to the frame and feels surprisingly secure. As long as you don't have a 1st gen LCD TV, you shouldn't have any problems with the stand leaning forward and the whole setup feels secure and well made.

I was a little worried that TV would either be too high or too low. I have a large center channel speaker and as I was building the stand, it seemed like it may not fit on the first shelf. Thankfully even at the lowest TV height (there are 3 positions), the center channel fits perfectly under the TV on the first shelf.

The only con I can think of is I wish the shelves were just a bit longer. I placed my receiver on the bottom shelf and with all of the connections plugged in, it just barely fits without hanging over the edge. It's a snug fit and the cables are flush against the back plate.

If you are looking for a 3 tier stand, I don't think you can go wrong with Z-Line.
