Stanley Hardware Adjustable Shelf and Closet Rod Support, Desert White #192950

Stanley Hardware Adjustable Shelf and Closet Rod Support, Desert White #192950I needed a very specific bracket and this did the trick. Nice to find what I needed. Thank you very much.

this bracket system is not as solid as I thought it would be. It is a little wobbly, actually, although I did install them into studs.

This closet rod support is flimsy. It does the job though. I have two of these supports supporting a rod full of clothes. the rod sways a little but it has not fallen yet and i have had it for over three months.

Furinno 99132LC/BK 5-Tier Corner Square Rack Display Shelf, Light Cherry

Furinno 99132LC/BK 5-Tier Corner Square Rack Display Shelf, Light CherryAt first, I was a bit unsure of buying this, since it had no reviews, but after getting and assembling it I have no regrets. It is pretty simple to build, pretty much just screwing the plastic tubes together with the wooden shelves between them. It didn't take long to do either, maybe 15 minutes or so. The only hard part is hammering the caps in the top shelf, but you can just skip it and set the top directly on the pole (just easy to lift off the top but shouldn't fall down).

As for use, it works perfectly. It seems very stable and isn't too heavy (so easy enough to move when needed but I wouldn't balance too much weight to one side). The space between the shelves is about 13 inches and the listed measurements for dimensions are spot on.

So overalleasy assembly, easy to move, low price ($25 with super saver shipping atm), nice design, and a good amount of room. What is not to like?

First up for those politically minded, this is NOT from China, but Malaysia.

I would have preferred a lighter color (like the 99152 set they make) but it's as described. The chipboard/particle board construction is typical for this grade of furniture. The tubes are cheap plastic, but sturdy enough as long as you don't try to overload the whole thing. You can cram it full of paperback books and it'll hold up.

Instructions are decent enough pictographs, with typical "Engrish": "hamber" instead of hammer for instance. I didn't need a hammer, I just gently placed the "caps" in place and stepped on top of the board to ease it in. A little "heel bounce" and they popped in fine, no tools needed.

The laminate is also typical. 5 of 6 sides covered, but the shelf bottoms are unfortunately not also laminated. There's a slight overlap on one "edge" of the shelves. Not very noticable, but make sure to put them all at the "back" of the shelf for best viewing. Not necessary, it's minor, but worth noting ahead of time. You CAN unscrew the poles and repack it if needed. You CAN assemble it with just 1/2/3 shelves in place. You can NOT make 2 smaller shelves though, not even 2 cubes, unless you add extra material from somewhere else.

As another review notes, the top shelf isn't designed to screw in the "right" way. You can just put it on top and the recess will hold it in place well enough. What you are supposed to do though, is assemble the whole thing, then counter screw the poles into the top, then tighten the other poles "up" to the top shelf.

For one and a quarter "Andrew Jacksons", it's the best you'll find in a new shelf.

Now how about a click on that "helpful" button?

There was a small empty space between the door and TV set (flat screen) in my bedroom just too small to put anything there...well, I was wrong! Since this bookcase took that spot, it became the most handy & useful area!! My night light, Roku, a cell power station, books and an alarm clock (forcing myself to get up and walk toward the door for stopping the alarm in the morning).

My salt rock night light is quite big & heavy but this bookcase has no problem. Very steady!! Don't underestimate this unbelievable low price bookcase.

This is very nice. It looks good wherever you want it to put. It looks slylish.

I'm happy with purchase. Easy to assemble. It took me like 10 mins. I recommend this. Good price also.

The shelves look nice assembled, as shown in the photos, but there is a minor problem. The black posts are to be screwed together in a nut-and-bolt fashion between the shelves, but the threads in the pieces to be hammered into the top shelf are the wrong direction so that it could not be put together properly. We decided to not put the pieces into the top shelf in order to make it work, so the top shelf is sitting on the posts rather than being held securely. Other than that problem, the product arrived quickly and in good condition laminated particle board and black plastic posts; no scratches, etc.

Easy Track RS1423 24-Inch Closet Shelf, White, 2-Pack

Easy Track RS1423 24-Inch Closet Shelf, White, 2-PackMy closet is beautiful and organized. I put the large Easy Track closet organizer on each 8'wall with 2 drawers and shelves. The whole thing rests on a horizontal metal strip so you do have to be careful not to overload it. I found this out the hard way, but I had seriously overloaded. With just all of my clothes, shoes, purses, etc. it is fine, but I had stacked some books and photo frames on a shelf and the whole side pulled out of the wall. It was easy to fix and I added legs on the center section just to be sure. Since then, no problems!

Great match for my existing cherry laminate shelves. well made, arrived in a heavy duty box and on time. Woulkd buy again from this company.

These shelves are decent in quality, but overpriced for what they are. The quality of the laminate was poor on my first order, and I exchanged them. They seem to get damaged easily during shipping.

This worked great and added needed shelf space to my closet setup. Arrived promptly and was just as described online.

the laminate chips off easily. The shelves are made of particle board which crumbles where the laminate has chipped. I would not recommend.

Silver Stainless Steel Contact Paper

Silver Stainless Steel Contact PaperI was a little disappointed in this product. It arrived with wrinkles already in it that I thought would come out when applied, but did not. I purchased two (2)rolls, and they were both the same. I wouldn't suggest buying this product unless it is going to be in a closet, I am using as a temporary shield on my backsplash until my tile is installed. It's ashame it doesn't come as smooth and attractive as photo.

I put this on my stove front just now it looks decent. My stove had a smooth black glass panel in front that I actually removed and put on the floor in order to paper it with this. I cleaned with rubbing alcohol first. Just a few pointers. Make sure everything is crumb and (dog)hair free because they will all show up allot if they get caught under the paper, much more so than regular colored contact paper (which I did my countertops and cabinet doors with and looks pretty good), I didnt have a kitchen table to work on which would have been way better. And also if you have to reposition this it gets permanant creases much easier than the regular non metalic contact paper. Even with the crumbs and dog hair and creases this still looks OK.

Bottom line make sure everything is clean and crumb and hair free I guess it would have been much better if I had a table but I did it on the floor.

And keep in mind that you won't be able to reposition this as easy as regular contact paper without creases. Regular contact paper is more stretchy and pliable than this. So give yourself more time to figure out how to get it right the first time.

Having done this once. I feel I could do it better a second time. It's different to work with than regular contact paper. It's less forgiving.

Also keep in mind when considering how much to order that this is directional. The "brushing" of the stainless steel look run the length of the paper. It's not super realistic looking, but it will fool you as much as a fake christmas tree woould and if you got really good at applying it with no debris under and no creases from repositioning, it could look really nice.

I purchased this contact paper to place on 1" aluminum tubing for flag poles. The silver does look good, but this contact paper DOES NOT hold up as well as expected.

I have used many different types of contact paper for this use , but this product does not seem to stick as well as others I have used in the past. As a result, the contact paper comes loose from the tubing at the seams.

If I wasn't trying to get a metallic look, I would have chosen a different product.

The contact paper was fine, but not as advertised. Spec says it is 18" x 9' long, but when we got it, it was only 6' long. We didn't have time to return it, but we were not happy to discover that we were short changed.

this product is really contact paper shelf liner, not the type of product used to cover appliances. Don't be fooled.

Tvilum Hayward Tv Stand for Tv's Up To 55-Inch, White

Tvilum Hayward Tv Stand for Tv's Up To 55-Inch, WhiteLooked great in the photos but the weak point is the 32mm chipboard it makes for a package that is to big and heavy to be handled by UPS a fact candidly acknowledged by my local delivery guy. As a result, I gave up after two attempts. On both occasions heavy drops had smashed the corners, as well as shaving parts of the cosmetic white laminate off. Unusable. Amazon return process was easy, but in all very disappointing as I still have a floor mounted TV. Ah well, Ikea beckons....

I ordered a white unit and received a black one. Initial order was received in three days but replacement took over a week. We are still putting it together and it is both well designed and material is good looking. Care has been given in designing the unit for strength. I think we will be very pleased with it takes a while to put together but instructions are pretty good.

Grayline 410248, Deluxe Back of Door/Wall Storage System, White

Grayline 410248, Deluxe Back of Door/Wall Storage System, WhiteI was a bit skeptical after reading some of the other reviews, but I don't find the unit either "weak or skimpy" in construction. It isn't designed to hold multiple pounds of canned goods or anything, it is for lighter weight items that take up space in your cupboard, like noodles, split peas, boxed dinners, and yes; even Ramen noodles (I still like the dang things even if I am in my 60s).

With those out of your cupboard, there is room in there for the "heavy" stuff, which is where it should be really. In an apartment like mine there is a small pantry (four shelves) in addition to the normal cupboards in the kitchen, but I have to use the little pantry for both extra grocery items and all my towels and linens, paper goods, first aid stuff and laundry supplies.

As to those who had difficulty attaching the unit to the door, I can only assume you used a power screw driver or something. I drilled out small pilot holes, and very carefully attached the wood screws by hand taking care not to "strip" the thin holes in the wood. No biggie, and it is anchored quite nicely.

I gave the unit a five star rating since it does what it says it will, and if the new owner takes a bit of time to "puzzle out" the problems others had, it fulfills its design for creating a bit more "extra" shelf space in small apartments and such.

Clint.

Not much to say here. This items seems like it would be a little flimsy, but after installing and loading with stuff, it's well made, easy to build (took about 10 minutes) and is solid! For the price, I don't there there is a better one out there. Sure, you can spend $100 + and do one of the custom build ones, but who want's to do that!! :)

I purchased this item to use as a holder for gift wrap and ribbons in my upstairs closet. It works well for what I intended though I would prefer it be one section rather than two. The lower part tends to swing when the door is opened, causing the contents to tumble out. In fairness, it was not meant for gift wrap so I can't really complain, and it could be stabilized by attaching to the door with screws but I prefer not to damage the door that way. I use the upper (smaller) shelves for rolls of ribbon, and I turned one of the baskets upside down at a height that would accommodate rolls of wrapping paper. The only drawback (and the reason some fall out) is the varying width of the rolls I could only lower it to the standing height of the tallest one. Still, it makes a great space saver as I was able to get rid of the boxes on the floor that were holding all of this. I imagine it would be an excellent space saver in the pantry (as intended) or even a closet to hold small items such as kids' shoes, adults' belts, ties, jewelry boxes, etc. Definitely a must have.

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was a little skeptical to buy, but I needed somethng less than 19" wide to fit in my RV. When it arrived I realized what others were saying about the back being in two separate pieces and how it could swing and sway when opening the door. The baskets are adjustable so you can put them anywhere you'd like. I decided to hang one basket right in the center where the two back parts connect and it really did the trick to keep things secure. The box did come with screws, but I did not want to damage my door. All I did what was put 2 pieces of double sided sticky tape at the bottom corners and is perfect! The shelves though are not meant for heavy items. I use it for spices, popcorn, baggies, tin foil, etc. I am glad I bought it.

This rack is well made and sturdy. It swayed when first hung up, but added a couple of anchors at the bottom corners, so that's no longer an issue. It's perfect for storing all of my baking supplies.

Ameriwood Over The Toilet Cabinet

Ameriwood Over The Toilet CabinetComplete piece of crap. Took an hour to assemble, put it against hte wall. The legs folded like a house of cards the whole unit collapsed ripping the tiny leg pins out of the cheap press board. Injuring me and my cat. Cant fix it now and cant return it.

We just purchased two of these for our new place. They have a good amount of space and the one we set up is holding a lot of stuff. One of the things we didn't like is that it didn't mention needing a wall anchor, which was a primary reason we purchased it (our wall is stone and would take a lot to drill into). However, it was the last step. The product is staying up but sways when we open it. Also, the directions were unclear about which way to place some of the boards and it wound up being upside down. We would have had to undo most of the work to fix it. Overall it looks nice and holds a good amount of products for the cost.

The one i received had a few scratches and chips on it nothing that a little paint marker didn't cover up easily. I love the modern look of this piece and assembly was pretty easy. It's very sturdy once up.

I like this cabinet, except for the color. I'd been looking for a cabinet in black for a long time, and then I saw this cabinet advertised as "black". It's not black, it's espresso!! All of the mirrors in my bathroom are framed in black, so this doesn't exactly match, but I put it up until I can find a black one. For the price it's a good buy, just beware of the color.

We were going to order three of these for all three of our bathrooms, but I am glad I hesitated. The first reason I dislike is that after it was all assembled, I noticed the edges of each piece was already looking worn, so the finish is not good, and rather cheap. Second, as my husband was putting the item in place behind the toilet, he realized the bottom cross bar that you can see in the picture, and the piece that stabilizes the unit, does not fit our bathroom! The reason this bottom piece does not fit is because the water pipe and shut-off are right in the middle. Our work-around was to take a saw and cut out a notch to go around the water pipe, not idea, but okay. After all of this trouble, we decided it didn't match our vanity and we'd use it in another bathroom that is just a toilet room. Well....it turns out this other bathroom's water pipe and shut off is in yet another spot, and the modified cross-bar won't work, yet again. A simple solution would be for the manufacturer to have accounted for an average of height from floor to pipe, and locate the cross-bar higher. In the end, it is sitting in pieces for now in my closet. It's too much of a hassle to disassemble and box up for return, so we'll continue to jerry-rig it to work. I would not recommend.

The only flaws are the wording on the bottom front and the screws. I had to customize it and build it backwards to keep the words on the back so that in my home we do not have to look at advertising. Also I had to get a man's brute strength to srew the screws in all the way. Even he bulked at it and was looking for some extra help in the toolbox.

Otherwise it is the beautiful, low and long birch shelf I knew it would be. It serves it's purpose well.

Make sure you check measurements before you order because it would be a shame to send it back and it would be too heavy to send back. Be smart and you will be happy too.
