Archetype Shelf- Walnut

Archetype Shelf- WalnutI ordered a couple of these to expand the Salamander Designs A3/W Archetype 3-Shelf Audio Stand (Walnut)

http://www.amazon.com/Salamander-Designs-A3-Archetype-3-Shelf/dp/B0006VPUM6/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262298075&sr=1-7

I was a little concerned as the Audio Stand was listed as (Walnut) and the single shelf was listed as (Walnut Veneer). As far as I can tell, the shelf is not veneer but is the same quality wood as the rest of the shelves in the stand. The wood grain varies from shelf to shelf but in my opinion, this adds to the beauty of the piece. The shelves fit with the Stand and with a little planning and patience were easy to add on.

Very sturdy. No scratches. Packaged well. Shipping was a little slow compared to the Stand which I ordered at the same time but it seems to be a third party vendor and maybe is not on the ball as much as Amazon was.

Alera 3-Tier Wire Rolling Cart, 16 by 26 by 39-Inch, Black Anthracite

Alera 3-Tier Wire Rolling Cart, 16 by 26 by 39-Inch, Black AnthraciteI received this cart well packaged, with all the parts. The instructions were numbered and easy to understand with diagrams. I put this cart together in 20 minutes, with no tools, as it says in the product details. It went together smoothly and the final product is VERY sturdy (supposedly holds up to 500 lbs, and I think it just might, but I did not test it.)

I liked that is has little raised guards on the two shelves. I added a rubber lining to the shelves, so that nothing would fall through. The basket is a mesh pattern and I did not need to line it, because the holes are small enough already. The wheels worked, the casters were not cheap looking, they seemed solid. There are brakes you can lock in place on the two back wheels, to keep the cart in place, Front wheels have no brakes.

This will not push easily on plush or shag carpet. It worked fine on cement, linoleum, and low pile carpet for me. It is quite heavy. I recommend assembling it in the room you are keeping it in, so you do not have to haul it up stairs or through doors.

The Black Anthracite color is not black, nor is it stainless steel, but a dark steel mottled color like gunmetal.

This cart is well constructed and is being used to hold my Cricut cutting machine and related supplies on the bottom two shelves. The cart stores away nicely in my stroreroom.

I bought this for my laundry room and was a little skeptical that it would be sturdy enough, but it is! It's really well made and super durable. Awesome utility cart, especially for the price!

I needed something for my office that could be used for different things. I found this cart and I ordered it due to the easy assembly and the wheels. I gave it a four because after I built it I noticed the basket was bent. I was too lazy to put it back in the box.

This cart is very versatile. We use this to store computer parts in plastic bins. It wheels out of the closet and makes it easy to find what you need. It was online at Costco for $49, free shipping (arrived the next day!). I assembled it in about 35 minutes. It helps to have a rubber mallet.

The instructions are poor. There are just some really small pictures with a step-by-step description of what goes where. It does not tell you how far up the shelf retaining clips should be on the legs. It doesn't matter. I just measured so all were at the same height. The wheels are good quality and I like that two of them lock. The finish is a little unusual (but very nice), black flakes in a dark grey metallic base.

Unlike some recent metal items we bought (made in China), this one does not smell like nasty solvents.

Climbing Tendril 6-Bottle Wine Rack

Oenophilia 6-Bottle Climbing Tendril Hanging Wine Rack, ChromeWe have remodeled our kitchen and now have a 6 inch wide space between our cabinets and the doorway that just seemed to beg for something to fill it. We have been looking for a wine rack, and this one fits the space beautifully. That said, it would fill a larger space beautifully as well it really commands the area and draws the eye.

It comes in three pieces, shaped in spirals. Each piece has two spirals, which accommodate two wine bottles (for a total of six bottles when fully assembled.) The spirals hook onto one another (think 'barrel of monkeys'). I've experimented with several configurations of the spirals you can make them line up symmetrically so that all the spirals go the same direction, or you can arrange them in a more artsy, tumbled look. Either way, the presentation was quite eye catching in the kitchen, even before I put the wine bottles in place. Best of all, it doesn't take up counter space, and is a very space saving way to store the bottles.

One added note: I debated whether or not to use all three spirals that were included. Ours is hanging from a bulkhead, and it hangs a little bit low. There are several options included in the kit, which inspired me to consider using two spirals in the kitchen and one of the spirals in the basement. Ultimately, we decided to keep it all together, but it could be used as separate pieces. The optional hardware in the kit includes a wall bracket and a ceiling hook both are similar to the kind of hardware you would use to hang a plant in the kitchen. You choose which works better for your space. The optional extender rod is great if you have an extra high ceiling or if you want to use just one of the spirals alone in a different location as I considered. (I also considered giving the extender rod and a spiral to a friend with a smaller kitchen.)

Overall, I find this to be a piece that is as artful as it is functional, and very versatile to boot. And best of all, the price is quite reasonable. Highly recommended!!!!!!

My husband and I are not big drinkers, but we do use wine for cooking. What I like about this product is that in addition to being able to store unopened bottles cork down, you can also use it to store already-opened bottles cork up, which is how we use it (apologies to all of the wine-drinkers out there who are cringing as they read this). I also use it to store opened vinegar, etc., which has helped clear out my cabinets. You just reverse the way the bottle goes in. My only wish is that the bottles hung in a perfectly straight line. This is a more arty, dangling look, whereas I prefer things to be more linear. Still, it does the job that we need it to do very well.

This is a unique and attractive way to display your wine bottles and show a bit of flair. Very fun and pleasing to the eye.

The item looks great. It arrived as ordered. Why did I give it a poor review? Because the top hole in the bracket is aligned with the curved bar that has the hook for the tendrils. You will not be able to screw it in straight with a normal drill and screw bit. So far I have been unable to install it securely. This aspect is poorly designed and is not worth a great rating. If they redesign it and put the factory made hole above the top part of the curve I would give it a much better rating.

Sonax RX-3500 Rio 35-Inch Midnight Black TV Stand with Two Glass Shelves

Sonax RX-3500 Rio 35-Inch Midnight Black TV Stand with Two Glass ShelvesI was looking for a specific size in a TV stand for my 40" Samsung LED TV. This stand fits perfectly for my needs. It also gives a good height to my TV (good viewing angle). The shelves provide good space for my media components (they look like would fit most of the A/V receivers). It's made of the boards that are not too thick, but overall construction is sturdy enough for most mid-size flat screen TVs. Also, black finish blends very well with most of the TVs on the market (since most of them are black).

I am very happy I chose this product.

It has been a very tedious job to find this item that met height, width, depth among thousand of design. And Sonax made a good product in this.

Thank you

Teamson Kids Girls Bookshelf/Bookcase - Magic Garden Room Collection

Teamson Kids Girls Bookshelf/Bookcase - Magic Garden Room CollectionSO, first off...LOVE the book shelf. It is beautiful, functional and is sturdy. BUT...don't get so much as WATER on them. The paint is off two of the shelves. My daughter put a cup of water on the shelf and it spilled. I went to wipe it up, only to find that the paint went with it. :( Needless to say, the black material underneath the color doesn't look wonderful with the rest of the book shelf.

I wish they would have put something over the paint to seal it better...or something. I had it only two weeks and now it looks trashed. :(

Also, when I got it, two of the shelves (though in the back and no one can see them) had huge scratches on them. Luckily the shelf backs up to the wall and so you can't see it.

I would still suggest this to future buyers...just beware of how careful you have to be with them...very, very careful.

I have to be honest I was somewhat disappointed with this product. Yes it is pretty, but all the edges were scratched and dented. It is also not practical to put books on the shelf since the average size children's books is larger than what the shell size is.

It was very easy to put together, however this is not a solution. At the most, this will hold one picture frame on top and maybe 3-5 books if you put them on the side.

I will have to purchase something else as I am very tempted to return this item.

I ordered the "garden" bookshelf for my daughter's nursery, and I am so happy with everything about it. My husband put it together in about 45 minutes, the shelves are sturdy as can be, the colors are lovely, and the paint job is gorgeous! It looks even better in person than on the page. I read some negative reviews that mentioned water ruining the shelves, though the instructions tell you precisely how to clean and what to avoid. I can't imagine not getting years of use out of this wonderful product. I would definitely recommend these shelves to anyone looking to decorate a baby's/small child's room.

I bought this book shelf for my 2yr old daughter and its beautiful, smaller than I expected but its for a child so its a reasonable height. Her books do fit on the shelves, the taller ones goes on top or I lay them down and stack them. I will buy the entire collection.

Overall, this is a nce product. My daughter (3 years old) loved it initially and she has many items on the shelves. It has hooks so you can secure it to the wall, which I really liked. Colors on the flowers, snails, and butterflies are bright. The only thing I was disappointed about is that there appears to be a backing, but the shelves are open in the back. The picture does not display an open backing. Items have already fallen behind the shelves.
