Stairstep Shelf Cabinet Organizer - (Clear) (18" x 8-1/8" x 3-1/2")

Stairstep Shelf Cabinet Organizer -I needed something to use in a glass case for knick knacks and this will work perfectly to be able to show everything off.

The shelf is fine, but the product label is put on with a tenacious glue. I purchased this shelf because it was clear; now it just looks like dollar store junk. Returning and will find a shelf locally.

Btw, the U.S. Acrylic shelf is made in Taiwan...

InterMETRO Storage Basket

InterMETRO Storage BasketI made the mistake of building my knitting station with the 14x36" shelves of Intermetro, and none of the other hanging baskets will fit on the short side of those shelves (they're all 18" wide). I hadn't even realized Intermetro made this size shelf until recently and I snapped up two of them, one to hold my hand cards and one to hold my Grid-Its full of needles. Sturdy and looks well with the rest of the setup, as expected.

I may switch to the 18x24" shelves, since all I'd need to replace are the shelves, and if I do, these will still work. So in that sense I consider them a good investment. They'll work on any configuration.

Closet Maid Clairson 16-Inch Support Bracket, White #76607I used it for another brand's brackets it is not a perfect fit but it does enough to support overall I am happy

The shelving in our garage collapsed, damaging the brackets used for the shelving support. We have installed the new brackets and I have learned not to overload the shelving units in the future. :)

Parke 60" TV Stand

Parke 60' TV StandThis stand looks so amazing in real life! It's more of a black/brown color than how it's listed in the description. It took about 90 minutes to assemble and is very sturdy. It was also on my porch within 36 hours of ordering it! Super nice and roomy stand!!

I would recommend specially to anyone renting. It is a little smaller than I thought but fit just perfect in my new apartment and just enough room to get everything I need organized. Great quality for the price.

It's a nice unit for the price. There is a cross membr under the area that hold the TV which makes that section a little smaller than it looks. I hoped to stack 2 pieces of audio equipment there but was unable to.Assembly was pretty easy, using the 3/4 turn locking screw that is quite common in furniture. Will try to update in 6 months or so.

This piece fits perfectly. It was very easy to setup and looks great. Its slender look helped to give my living room a different feel. Just make sure you measure and measure again. I read one review and the person blamed the stand for not fitting right, of course! it's the equipment, not the idiot who bought it! No complaints at all

Went together without too many hitches (the couple I experienced were MY error and they were really small and easily corrected). This was first time I'd EVER put anything together by myself instructions were easy to understand and I love that it so different looking than others I've seen. This gives area to display "treasures". The stand is exactly as described. Received in shorter time expected.

Con-Tact Brand Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner, Natural Cork, 18-Inch by 4-Feet

Con-Tact Brand Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner, Natural Cork, 18-Inch by 4-FeetI use this to put cork backings on tile trivets and coasters. It does a fabulous job; the adhesive adheres smoothly and makes backing the trivets a breeze. The trivets have uneven backs but when the cork goes on, the backing seems completely smooth. It doesn't trim at all well with a razor blade or box cutter, but trims perfectly with scissors. Hint: apply it to the surface you want to cover FIRST, then trim the edges with scissors.)

Firstly, the manufacturer's description, "acid free glossy clear liner. Protects horizontal and vertical surfaces, see through to surface." currently on the Amazon product page is wrong. This is a self-adhesive natural cork, and thus both somewhat spongy/porous and opaque, liner that is about the width of a quarter-dollar coin.

I bought this at a retail store, in conjunction with the purchase of some teak coasters that were nice-looking, but that did not have any padding to protect my newly refinished table tops. I didn't want the cork to be visible, so I traced the coasters, cut pieces that were slightly smaller than my tracings with scissors, peeled the paper off, and stuck the cork to the less attractive side of each coaster. (If the lines on the paper backing are not needed, I would advise drawing or tracing on the cork side, as I was able to cut more neatly with the scissors on that side.)

I was happy with the result, but noticed, as I was putting the wrapper back on the unused portion of the roll, some fine print on the label: "CAUTION: Not for use on lacquered or urethane surfaces. Finish damage may occur." I assume that means that the adhesive may damage lacquered or urethane surfaces, but I am not sure whether it refers also to the cork side; I would suppose not, but will certainly test the coasters before using them on the finer surfaces in my home. Some clarification from the manufacturer as to its warning would certainly be welcome. Otherwise it is a great product, and I wish only that it were available in a wider and/or longer roll.

Update: I've used the coasters, non-sticky cork side down, of course, on the table tops for several weeks, with no damage to the surface, so I would suppose that the manufacturer warning regarding damage refers only to lacquered or urethane surfaces to which the adhesive side of the cork came into contact.

I have some old shelves throughout the home and I decided to line all of them with this cork paper. It is great, easy to use and has really upgraded the cabinets and drawers.

This cork adhesive is great. I don't really use it as shelf liner, I use it mostly for decorative purposes to decorate boxes and other things. Great look!

I'm a big fan of this stuff. I first used it under a coffeemaker to catch those extra drips and drizzles from ruining the countertop. I also use it under the kitchen sink. Its not thick like a corkboard, but it looks and works great.

This is a great product for the price. It fit perfectly in my corner, is sturdy but light weight, and was easy to assemble ( no tools needed!).

Very ergonomic use of otherwise wasted corner space, especially in a small condo. Very easy assembly. Would like more color choices though.

Love it!

Clearly the adage, "you get what you pay for" applies to this display rack. The pieces do not fit together properly, it leans sideways when assembled and it's hardly sturdy enough to hold it's own weight, let alone anything else. If you actually tried to stack books on the "bookshelf," the result would be disastrous. I returned mine immediately. Save yourself the trouble and pick something else.

OSP Designs 46-Inch TV Stand with Black Frame And Black Glass

OSP Designs 46-Inch TV Stand with Black Frame And Black GlassI used this stand for my 46 inch Samsung 750 with TOC. It's a nice looking stand and was very easy to put together. The only minor problem was the screws from the TV itself weren't long enough to fit through the bracket back into the TV to mount it. Just find out your screw size and head to the local hardware store.

I like the TV stand. It was a bit of a pain in the butt to put together as some of the holes didn't line up completely straight and the instructions to put it together are pretty vague, altough, it is pretty simple to figure out. It holds my Panasonic Viera 46" plasma easily. Plenty of mounting options for the TV. Sturdy. Arrived on time. 4/5 stars. I would recommend this product.

Knape & Vogt 256ZC Zinc Adjustable Shelf Support Clips

Knape & Vogt 256ZC Zinc Adjustable Shelf Support Clipsthe shelf brackets were fine. Just too many. The description does not mention there are 20 in a pack so when ordering one, you get one packet of 20.

The first review I read regarding the shelf supports were that there were "too many". I thought this was great as I wasn't sure where and how many shelves I was going to use. I received 5 shelf supports. What the h@ll am I supposed to do with that. I get to put up one shelf. I paid 4.00 for the product plus 4.38 shipping and handling. Rubbish

Honey-Can-Do 8-Shelf Hanging Organizer

Honey-Can-Do SFT-01239 8-Shelf Hanging Organizer, WhiteI bought this hanging organizer as a quick fix to use in my nursery. I wanted to hang sheets, blankets and other random baby items in it. After receiving the item, I was a bit surprised at the material. This hanging shelf is made out of really cheap materials that feel like Nylon. I thought the fabric would be heavier duty to prevent sagging of the shelves. This item works fine for light items (such as the sheets), but I would not use this for anything that carries any amount of weight. I will keep and use this item, but I wouldn't buy again. I think you could find something comparable made with a heavier fabric at your local Target.

this was a good purchase to use empty spaces on closets. Keep in mind that the bootom of each shelf is not solid, it is made out of fabric.

I was a little hesitant to buy this online because I didn't get to feel the material or anything, but I am very pleased. It's got stiff board in the compartments and they don't sag all with a full load of folded tshirts in them. The length is great too, almost to the floor!

This product definitely has helped solve a storage and organization problems for us. I would have given it a better score except that it isn't great for wire closet shelves/rods. The way the velcro sits on the wire makes it lean backward or forward once you load it with stuff. It still works fine but it's a little annoying. The pockets are sturdy and will hold quite a bit. I use it for blankets, sheet sets, etc.

Want Honey-Can-Do 8-Shelf Hanging Organizer Discount?

I literally still have half of this 8-shelf organizer not used yet. I have filled this so far, sparsely, with 6 pairs of jeans and 4 thin sweaters...the rest is empty.

I didnt notice because the closet is dark, but apparently the whole top of the thing ripped. it is dangling from the velcro hook parts, but the whole top of it is ripped open, hanging by what is still in tact.

This thing wasnt even full!!

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.
