Dolle Eliot Silver Adjustable Glass Shelf or Wood Shelf Brackets - Pair

Dolle Eliot Silver Adjustable Glass Shelf or Wood Shelf Brackets - PairI love these brackets. The ones that came with the glass shelves broke. I ordered these because I liked the straight line design. They are sturdy and very heavy duty. Even my builder commented on how nice they were.

I purchased these brackets to hold a 1-1/2" thick, 36" long and 10" deep solid wood shelf in my bathroom. These create the perfect floating shelf look with all the strength needed to hold just heavy shelves. I would highly recommend these for any floating shelf needs.

5 Shelf Ladder Bookcase - Espresso Finish

Yu Shan 5 Shelf Ladder Bookcase, EspressoHORRIBLE...just horrible. I never write reviews but this product was simply worth my time so no one else has to waste theirs. First of all, the finish (espresso) is not at all as advertised. It is actually more of a burnt tobacco. It will NOT match any espresso furniture you buy at Target, Ikea, Walmart, Living Spaces or any other comparable store. I was beyond disappointed. As if the color didn't piss me off enough, the finish wasn't even finished. There are large rough patches that feel as if they need to be sanded. The color is inconsistent and simply unfinished. It is rough and looks dirty. As for size and construction, it is as advertised but it does require assembly and does NOT come with those plastic screw covers so your handywork will absolutely show. All in all, don't bother.

This product is not only easy to assemble, it's very sturdy, and looks even better than it does online. I will be ordering another one ASAP!

The grain of the wood is great. It was easy to assemble and the tools came in the box yeh.

For the money, this was a good buy. The assembly was quick and straightforward. The finished product looks nicer than department store alternatives. The only complaints are that the top shelf is very narrow at just under 5" and some of the shelves aren't parallel with each other (and thus the ground). One would have to look closely to notice. Regardless, it does the trick for our intended purpose, getting orchards in the window.

Flow Wall FSS-VM2412-4W2GR-K 2-Foot White Shelf , Add-on Accessory for Flow Wall Systems, 4-Pack

Flow Wall FSS-VM2412-4W2GR-K 2-Foot White Shelf , Add-on Accessory for Flow Wall Systems,  4-PackThese shelves are for lite weight stuff. The plastic brackets are flimsy. I would not put more than 15 lbs on these. Get the shelves with the metal supports.

I ordered two of the packages for my retail store behind the counter and received the shelves quickly.

When i opened them there were not enough brackets for all the shelves.

The bracket packages were tapped to the outside of the shelves boxes and i can only assume they did not include enough of them.

Barrister holds 400 CDs

Prepac Black Slim Barrister Media Storage RackThis reasonably priced storage cabinet worked for me because of it's slim tall design. Exactly what I was looking for. It is also pretty easy to put together. That's the good news. The unit is heavy and when delivered, I found a couple minor blemishes caused by the shipping. I managed to hide them rather than return. My biggest complaint has to do with the finish. The underside of the shelves and top are not finished! Where I ended up placing the cabinet minimizes this oversight, but be cautious if you will display this more prominently.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KPrepac Black Slim Barrister Media (DVD,CD,Games) Storage Rack

I have three of the above items. Two store-bought, and one through Amazon.com. In all cases, the items come disassembled in heavy, somewhat awkward, cartons. However intimidating the cartons look, the items themselves are easily assembled following the step-by-step directions. I found all the pieces marked as stated in the assembly instructions and requiring little mechanical skill to assemble.

In short, I'm please with my purchases which proved to be rugged and tough after assembly, very sturdy, and stable on a level floor. I'd recommend the product to anyone.

This unit is manufactured in Canada, and came precision drilled with all necessary holes for assembly. Unfortunately, one piece (the left side) was damaged in transit. I got online as the instructions indicated, and had a replacement piece within a week. Assembly was straightforward. Finished unit is solid and holds lots of disks with various sized packaging.

One suggestion for Prepac. They should finish the bottom side of the top and the shelves. I painted the top in satin black where it wasn't finished, because you can see it is unfinished when sitting looking at the unit. I will subsequently similarly finish the bottom of the shelves.

I love this item so much and I am very happy that I purchased this item even though it wasn't what I had in mind.I was looking for a rack to hold my video games, but I also wanted it to look elegant and not cheaply made. This product is very well made and very beautiful, from the minute you walk into my living room you notice it. Best part is that it comes with interchangeable shelves that does not damage the design of the product. So you will be able to place what ever you like regardless the size and length.

I read many reviews on this item before purchasing it and i have to agree with some of the things that was said.

1. It is very heavy, and huge! Its taller then me and I am a 5'4 female.

2. I notice in the reviews that a lot of people claim some of the shelves was not fully covered with the black paint. So I was prepared for that to be one of the problems I will have to face, but to my surprised that issued never occurred. It was completely covered with fresh paint, it had no marks or any white spots as mentioned so I am assuming that they took into consideration what the other customers was complaining about.

3. The instructions was not as easy to understand as I had hoped but they made sure to remind you to check if you received all the pieces before proceeding to put it together and if any was missing they had given you a number to contact. I really liked how they was willing to be so helpful, but I am also glad that I didn't need to call them.

4. Now this was almost a deal breaker; I purchase this item thinking it was meant to hold video games like a DVD rack but I to my surprise it was more like a book case. After building it and seeing how wonderfully it compliments the rest of my furniture plus the fact that I was able to change the shelves to what ever size I needed so that my games and limited/special edition cases can fit perfectly is what convinced me to keep it.

5. Also it is build to last!!!

Besides that I honestly believe that this is an amazing product for that cheap price and once i get paid again i do plan on buying another one!

I would have given this 5 stars but Prepac company needs to have the bottoms finished on the shelves and on the top board! Did not take my husband long to build. It looks great! Fit perfectly where I wanted it go.

Zenith Products Corner 2-Shelf Caddy

Zenith Products Corner 2-Shelf Caddy, Clear PlasticThis is an excellent bath/shower caddy. I have owned several in various places I have lived and always search it out when I move into a new place. It is perfect for the tub/shower since it can be placed as far away from the pouring water of the showerhead as possible allowing items contained by it to stay relatively dry. The only issue is with the 3M adhesive pads to hold the thing up. When I mount it to the wall I add a little dab of silicone adhesive to help it stay mounted on the wall.

The corners of my bathtub are rounded so this product did not fit in snugly at the corner. Because of this I could attach it with the provided tape only to one wall instead of both. I am surprised that it has not fallen off till now. The bond appears to be quite strong. The shelves themselves are pretty sturdy. However I would advise against buying this product if you have rounded corners in your shower. Assembly was very straightforward and easy. Delivery was prompt.

Update: It has been four months and its still holding up. You'd think that with all the moisture in the bathroom, the tape would come off, but I don't see that happening. However you always have the option of screwing the thing into the wall if you are skeptical. My apartment wouldn't allow drilling so I have to stick with adhesives.

Bought this because we have small tiles, so the grout lines prevent a suction cup from holding. However, the adhesive pads were not effective, and required some clear latex caulk to hold it in place. Works fine now.

Read Best Reviews of Zenith Products Corner 2-Shelf Caddy Here

I had one of these in my shower for years, and it worked very well. Never being one to trust suction cups, I used the double-sided tape to hold mine on from the onset. Though the tape overlapped a few 3.5" tiles (and therefore the joints between them), it held up very well under the weight of soap, shampoo, body wash and shaving cream. The built-in holders for razors and toothbrushes worked well, also, as did the hooks underneath for hanging luffa/washcloths.

I just ordered another one, and hope that it performs as admirably as the first. The reason I am in the market for another is that a couple of months ago I was cleaning my bathroom and ended up accidentally breaking the bottom shelf when I used it to keep myself from falling. The tape still held up admirably after five years, and when I removed it left no marks on the wall. Impressive.

With all of my bottles and razor lined up against the edge of the tub, no place for my toothbrush, I immediately started looking around for another shower shelf, and looked at several styles. After a couple of months looking around for a replacement, I decided I want the exact same one that had worked so well. And this is the only place I could find it. If it hadn't held up for so long the first time, I would likely buy another just in case they are unavailable down the road.

So surprising, especially for such a great price.

The plastic shower caddy was easy to install and is strong enough to hold several toiletry items.

I would recommend this product.

Catskill Mid-Sized Island with Flat Panel Doors and Drop Leaf

Catskill Craftsmen Mid-Sized Island with Flat Panel Doors and Drop LeafMy wife and I were looking to replace a fixed counter top along one wall of our kitchen. We also wanted an island that could be used when cooking for guests, but our kitchen is too small. This cabinet fits the bill. We removed the fixed counter top and this takes its place. When cooking large meals, it rolls closer to our food prep area and provides more counter space. When the meal is ready, it rolls into the dining room and becomes a serving cart. Some things that used to take up counter space are now stored inside the cart.

The instructions are good and easy to follow. I put the cart together in about an hour. However, I would recommend having someone to help, certain steps are hard to do with just two hands. I finished the cabinet with three coats of polyurethane.

I gave the cart 4 stars because one of the casters will fall out if you lift the end up. This is a minor detail, but it means it is not perfect.

Akro-Mils 30240 Plastic Storage Stacking Hanging Akro Bin, 15-Inch by 8-Inch by 7-Inch, Red, Case o

Akro-Mils 30240 Plastic Storage Stacking Hanging Akro Bin, 15-Inch by 8-Inch by 7-Inch, Red, Case of 12Very good storage bins. Have purchased these in the past and and very satisfied with them again. This is the best brand to buy for stackable bins.

I use these to keep supplies handy. I wish they had a snap together feature so I they can be moved as a unit once put together. I'll have to strap them or tape them up to do this. Good thing I did some additional research on these and got the dimension I needed—the floor length. If I went with the basic dimensions, the supplies I have wouldn't sit nicely inside because they would be longer than the floor length.

I've got one of the blue bins, it looks great just like the picture. It feels really tough, rugged, and no weak points. As I said, a great bin but I only got one, the problem is the description says 12. One bin is kinda useless, and a pretty rotten deal. I don't know how well these bins stack, but the one I do have is pretty secure on the floor right now.

I'm working with Amazon and Shoplet to see if this problem can be worked out.

End result, "oops" (aka "unit of measure issue"). They are giving me a refund.

I originally understandably rated this at one star .. since they straightened it out I'm give it three stars.

Knape & Vogt EZ12/1 OK 12' Oak Instant Corner Shelves Single Pack

Knape & Vogt EZ12/1 OK 12' Oak Instant Corner Shelves Single PackThis item is satisfactory for what it is; a cheap (I wouldn't pay over $15), lightweight, easy to hang corner shelf. It comes with five thin screws, roughly 1.5" long, that have large plastic heads. These fit into grooves, supporting the shelf and eliminating the need for brackets. The package states it can hold up to 25 lbs.

The 12" in the product name refer to the length of the two edges that would be up against the wall.

A nice quality shelf with easy mounting. You might want to check that your walls are relatively square before you buy these. If your walls are out of square where they meet in the corners, these shelves won't look very good.

Mr. Light Grow Light Pro with 4 Linked 8-Watt Grow Lights and Adjustable Shelf

Mr. Light Grow Light Pro with 4 Linked 8-Watt Grow Lights and Adjustable ShelfMy seedlings grew quite well last season. You can't grow too much at once because of the size of the unit, but since I have just a small garden plot and grow just more finicky stuff under the lghts, it was just fine for me. When I bought it about a year ago, it said it has extra bulbs, but it didn't. I didn't want to bother contacting them, but I should have 2 of the four bulbs are not working anymore and replacement 4 pack is over 39 dollars with shipping. I tried to search for 8W T5 grow lights from the other stores, but 1 foot length seems to be not standard, they usually come in 2 and 4 feet, so it looks like getting them from Mr.Light is the only option. If you know, where else I could get them, leave a comment.

On the positive side, stand looks good(I bought the one in stainless steal finish), is pretty sturdy, and works well. You can also put on just the bulbs you want as each of them has separate switch. It is a nice product overall. Just be aware, that you will have to spend 40 dollars each year for that little space to grow a few seedlings.

I've got the whole thing assembled only to find out that two lights in each of the packages don't work. I don't think I should be required to take the thing apart and repackage it just to try again to get a grow light with bulbs that actually work. I love buying from Amazon but this is very disappointing.

Closetmaid 2'X12' Wht Shelf Kit 1021 Closet Organizer Shelving

Closetmaid 2'X12' Wht Shelf Kit 1021 Closet Organizer ShelvingVery easy to put up and perfect for my needs. Strong, affordable, and durable. I put it in a laundry room where I can hang clothes on it after they come out of the drier. Great addition to the home.

Purchased a set of shelves of this brand from Home Depot to install in our office closet, it already had one that came installed by the builder, and was quite easy to install, though it is a tad easier with two people for parts of it. Our house came with these shelves installed throughout and they have held up well, especially the master bedroom closet and pantry which both hold some significant weight.

Buy Closetmaid 2'X12' Wht Shelf Kit 1021 Closet Organizer Shelving Now

These shelves are awful.

I purchased them from that horrible Chinese supply store known as Wal-Mart and didn't expect much, but I did figure "It's a shelf, how hard could it be?" Apparently, I was too optimistic.

The shelves come with nails, not screws, even though they come with drywall anchors. Nails for drywall anchors? Really? Nails to hold up shelves? What genius thought of that!?

The enclosed nails are are too small for the holes in the shelve arms. The nail goes right through the hole and doesn't hold anything! What's the point? Who designed this? A farsighted dyslexic!?

The plastic anchors stick out far beyond the nail, requiring you to hit the plastic (or create a chisel type device).

I have installed many, many shelves without incident. These shelves look like they were installed by a 5-year-old. Great job Closetmaid! Keep up the wonderful Chinese craftmanship!

HyLoft 164 96-Inch by 48-Inch Super Pro Ceiling Mount Shelf, White

HyLoft 164 96-Inch by 48-Inch Super Pro Ceiling Mount Shelf, WhiteI'm very pleased with this shelf, which is well-made, rigid, and well painted. However, I have certain observations/caveats.

* My version of this shelf appears rather unlike the picture on this product. I got mine from globalindustrial.com, which was by far the best price at the time (no problems with them, incidentally). My shelf seems to match the look of the one on the HyLoft web site, so perhaps what I got is just the new and improved model. Mine has much more substantial-seeming stiffening bars under the mesh of each of the four 2'-wide elements of the shelf. It has no central beam as shown in the pic. My shelf also has a degree of diagonal cross-bracing. I take all these differences to be good things. All told, this shelf are very strong-seeming. I've loaded it up and swung on it monkey-bar fashion, and the deflection seems acceptable to me.

* There's talk in the product description of the mounting height being from 24"-44". In fact, you can make it pretty much as short as you like without any problems, simply by using only the lower part of the leg and cutting it down as much as you like. This would likely be necessary if you're wanting to mount tight up under a significantly sloping roof.

* The instructions were entirely sufficient to allow one to install the shelf, and the whole installation process was very easy. However, I think that the major flaw in the instructions concerned how best to set the height of the shelf. I'd think that anybody who gets shelves like this is really trying to eke out every last inch of space, and so will probably try and set the shelf as low as possible. Given that (in my case, as noted above) there are stiffening bars hanging BELOW the frame of the shelf, it's important to take this extra height into account when siting the shelf frame. This was obvious to me (though not necessarily too easy to measure accurately), but may not be to others. If you don't have your wits about you, you might end up setting the shelf so that your garage door bumps into it. This is especially true given that, when raised, most garage doors end up ABOVE the tracks they run on. A little slip in your calculations and you could ruin your garage doors. I'd think that a bit of bold text in the instructions would be worthwhile to cover this topic.

* The adjustment holes on the legs would be much more useful if the holes were drilled twice as frequently. The strength would not be significantly compromised, but it would be much easier to set it up. It's trivial for the manufacturer to drill holes, but the average home-owner is less inclined and/or able to drill through chunks of steel.

* The swivel at the end of the mounting legs is designed to track the rafter/joist to which you're mounting. If you're mounting to a horizontal-running joist, or to a normal sloping rafter (such that the sides of the rafter are plumb, and the axis of the rafter slopes up to the peak of the roof), then things are fine. However, if you want to mount to something that isn't plumb on at least one face, then you're out of luck. The same problem would occur if you wanted to mount the shelf up under any sort of domed roof with a radial raftering pattern.

* I live in California, where having things be seismically sound is considered important. Even though my shelf came with diagonal braces to run between the legs on the short side, there was no extra strapping to allow you to brace the shelf to the wall. In my case, because I shortened the legs significantly, I had enough material left over that I was able to cook up some extra seismic strapping. At least for fault-line residents, this product would have been better had it come with an earthquake kit (or had one available at extra cost). Imagine this shelf, which already weighs about 100lbs swinging around with its 600lbs load, and you can see what I mean.

This was my first time to use the Hyloft system. Have to say it was easier than I thought. I was concerned about the reviews saying your measurements have to be perfect, it is actuall fairly forgiving. I would recommend the use of a laser to make it a easier line up and you will need help to measure the long span, however after that you can do the job your self. It looks great and I have plans to add a smaller unit to the other garage soon.

This item added lots of storage space to my garage, especially since I have high ceilings. It was not difficult to install, however I took my time up front to make lots of measurements. The ceiling-mounted brackets MUST be spaced exactly as described in the instructions, and they MUST be square to each other. If you're not comfortable with finding ceiling joists and making precise (and square) measurements, then get some help. Once the brackets are installed though, the rest of the installation is very easy.
