Five Tier NSF Extra Large Commercial Grade Shelving Rack in Chrome

Five Tier NSF Extra Large Commercial Grade Shelving Rack in ChromeThese shelves are pretty much what you'd expect just like the normal 6-shelf 48"x18" ones, only more so. As such, they deliver the goods but it's worth making a few observations.

* These shelves are good value for money in terms of footage of shelves per $, and I have two of them. One is this Trinity one, and the other is the "Seville Classics Shelving System with Wheels, Chrome". They're both functionally identical, and for all I know made in the same Chinese factory.

* The rated carrying capacity of these shelves is the same as that usually cited for the smaller shelves, namely 600lbs. Given that these shelves give you 50 square feet of shelving (cf 36sqft on the normal 48x18" units), that works out to only 12lb/sqft before you're fully loaded. If you think about it, that's really not very much. Thus, these shelves are fine if you're putting relatively light stuff on them, but if you're planning to load them up packed-tight, then you'll have to expect the shelves to sag significantly (at the very least).

I wanted to store a lot of tools, car parts, paint and such-like. The pounds really add up quickly under such circumstances. Before I had even finished loading things up, I discovered the weakest link in these shelves, namely the castors, which experience significant off-axis loading (due to the castor of the castors!). In my case, the studs that screw the castors into the columns bent badly. Mercifully, I managed to off-load the shelves before they fell over completely. The castors were toast, but I was able to get them out of the columns (sighs of relief), and I didn't need them, so no big loss. Now, I'm being considerably more careful about how I load up the shelves.

It's probably also worth noting that these shelves (just like all Metro-style shelves) have nothing to help you to make them seismically secure. If you live (say) in California, then you'd do well to strap any shelves to the wall (unless you're genuinely planning to trundle them around, which gives you a different set of risks). I used water-heater earthquake strapping. It would have been nice to have something to hook this to on the shelves, but then these are just generic Metro-style shelves, so you really can't expect anything other than Metro shelving.

Bottom line: These shelves would have been soooo much better if they had been built more strongly. These shelves are no stronger than the normal, smaller metro shelves, but the larger area of the shelves makes strength that much more important. If you want bigger shelves than the more common variety extra depth or width, then these are a great deal, especially if you manage to catch them with a good shipping deal. However, if you're mostly interested in the weight carrying capacity, then your $s would be much better spent on the smaller and cheaper 48"x18" units.

These Shelves are awesome. I have four of them in the garage and two in the attic storage. Rather than build shelving I bought these so that I could move them out of the way if I needed to get more space in any particular garage bay. They are really strong. I have one that is loaded with 6'x18"x3/4" MDF top to bottom and some power tools on the top shelf and it rolls around sturdy. No flex. Takes the weight fine, and the casters are more than up to it.

Assembly is pretty easy. No tools needed. The one wrench that's desireable is provided and works on both the caster option or the fixed level adjusting feet.

A great quality product. I'd recommend it to anyone. Tripled my previous storage space and didn't loose any floor space.

This unit is incredible. I've had it for a few months and wanted to wait and see how it held up before I weighed in.

The box it arrived in was a beast, super heavy. After it was beaten up during shipping & then dragging it to the garage, I worried that the condition of the box might mean that parts were missing or broken. Not so. Perfect assembly experience. Right away I could tell this was not a cheap, flimsy build.

The shelves hold all my camping gear, bike racks, spare tires, and other misc garage junk. The shelves hardly bend under all the weight and the bomber wheels lock when you want them to and roll impressively despite the weight they're asked to sustain.

There are certainly cheaper options out there, but don't be fooled. This unit will hold everything you ask & it will LAST!

NFL 36" Wood Laminate Team Locker NFL Team: Detroit Lions

NFL 36' Wood Laminate Team Locker NFL Team: Detroit LionsPurchased the Franklin Sports 15750FXX NFL 36" Wood Laminate Team Locker NFL Team: Detroit Lions for my sports addicted 5 yr old grandson for this birthday. He absolutely loved it! His 3 yr old brother also loved it so purchased another for him. It was easy to put together and is the perfect size to hold their sports cloths and hats. The size is perfect for them as they can hang their own cloths in them. The 3 yr old even sat in his, thought it was fun. Would recommend to anyone with small children who like sports!

Alexandria Portable Kitchen Island

Crosley Furniture Alexandria Natural Wood Top Portable Kitchen Island in White FinishI purchased the Crosley cart directly from the Wayfair's website. I was amazed how fast it was shipped. I placed the order over the weekend and arrived from the Midwest to California the following Friday. It ships in three boxes. The first box (about 4.5ft tall x 2.5ft wide) contains the body, the second box (about 4.5ft tall x 1.5 ft wide) contains the marble top, and the third box (8in tall x 6in wide) contains the wooden legs. The heaviest of the three boxes is the one that contains the marble top. I would say it weights about 50 pounds. Everything is well packaged. Overall, I was able to move them on my own.

It took me about 2 hrs to assemble the cart and did it all by myself. The directions were clear, all the parts were well labeled, and everything went together smoothly. The quality of the materials and the workmanship are superb. The parts feel solid along with the color and style of the cart give it an expensive look. Although I ordered it with wooden the legs, casters are also included so that one has both options during assembly.

Word of caution, when installing the doors, which is amazingly easy to do, make sure to pay attention to the location of the top metal plate on the door that aligns with the magnet. If you happen to install the doors upside down, you will waste about 20 min dissembling and reassembling the cart.

I love my kitchen island. It's a great value for the price -a lot sturdier than I was expecting and looks high end. My only disappointment is that I got the stainless steel top. The top is quality, but the brushed silver shows fingerprints, dust and any residue. Top also scratches easily. It has proven to be high maintenance. The wood top or marble top would have been a better choice for me... more forgiving for an active kitchen.

The kitchen island looks very nice and the granite top is a big plus, but the island sways back and forth if you push on it from the sides. In other words, the craftsmanship is not great. Seeing as I made sure to tighten all of the screws to the max, I would certainly recommend using wood glue between the pieces and not just rely on the screws for strength. I remembered to do this about a quarter of the way through putting the unit together, so I wasn't able to benefit from this added reinforcement as much as I could have.

This was very promptly delivered and easily put together. It is a sturdy and compact little cart and just what I need for my coffee maker to have its own home!! Of course the piece is easily movable but The Bun Feet are so nice that it might become a stationary item!!

Seville Classics SHE14049 2-Tier Corner Shelf Organizer

Seville Classics SHE14049 2-Tier Corner Shelf OrganizerWhenever I buy something online, I am always hesitant because I don't know if the item will look or perform as it is shown/described. This is one of my best purchases from Amazon. It's heavy weight (not like the cheaper ones the stores have). It fits the cabinet beautifully and it feels very strong. It was a great buy and if you are on the fence about getting it, get it....you won't regret it.

Metal Construction, well made, has a little weight to it. Don't have to worry about this one bowing on you. A good purchase overall.

This thing is awesome! It looks nice when sitting on my shelf. I'm using it to separate my plates so I don't have to keep taking the smaller ones out to use the bigger ones underneath. I've got a really small kitchen so this has helped tremendously. It's also really sturdy so I don't feel any unease putting my heavy plates on it. Really happy I bought this.

I have 16 dinner plates and 2 serving bowls organized with this. I put some plates on middle and the two bowls on the top shelf. Now, I can easily grab a plate off bottom stack without lifting the bowls. Sturdy and well made. Material is kind of a square channel with a hollow center. Be sure to measure before buying. Recommend!

This corner shelf is used in a bathroom cabinet to hold medicine bottles and such. The dimensions were accurate and fit in my cabinet well; however, when placed in my cabinet it was wobbly and would not lay flat. I think I can fix it by bending it just a bit, but feel like I should not have to. Hence the four star review. Otherwise it looks great and is made out of strong metal.

Safco Products Luxe Magazine  9-Pocket Floor RackThis item arrived on time, but two of the plastic shelves were cracked. We used packing tape to keep them from cracking further. We had no time to return it and get another. Would receive 5 stars if not for the damage. It was unclear if it was damaged before shipment or during.

Ellsworth Tall Corner Etagere - White

Ellsworth Tall Corner Etagere  - WhiteYes this is an MDF DIY piece, yes it isn't the sturdiest piece of furniture I own, yes it is a little on the small size...but you get what you pay for. I gave it 4 stars because it was exactly what I was expecting, my hopes weren't too high to begin with though. I have looked for a corner cupboad of this size and shape for a long time and this is the first one that I found that will fit in the spot that needed it, so I was thrilled. All the high quality ones I found were either too large to fit in the spot or too small to be useful. I keep my bath products and personal items behind the cupboard doors and the open shelves hold the rolled up guest towels, wash clothes, and guest soaps. My makeup case fits perfectly on the very top behind the decorative crown piece. I would suggest anchoring it to the wall and not putting too many heavy things on the high shelves. But for the price and the size this isn't a bad purchase.

The holes for the screws were not properly done. Had to go to the store and buy wider screws , the ones sent with the item just fell right out and held nothing together. Once it was together, fit the corner nicely. Definately small though, not big enough to fit a 2 slice toaster on.

I have purchased and put together a ton of pre-fab furniture in my lifetime and although this is cute and functional and serves it's intended purpose, it is way over priced and made of the thinnest materials I have ever seen. Literally centimeters thick "wood". I could probably break it with a good karate chop. I would return it but can't imagine the shipping costs to do so and I'd have to dissassemble and try to repackage. It's not horrible but it's worth maybe half what it sells for on Amazon. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.

I thought the quality would be better based on the product description. Sometimes that could be a little misleading. Next time I will look in store before I purchase on line.

I was surprised at how easy it was to put together and that all the holes lined up perfectly. I love the style and design. It's just like as pictured. Bad side: Smaller storage than I expected. Also in intructions on the only thing that should be changed is DO NOT put door knobs on until end (they suggest in beginning). It has to be put together with front face down on level ground and with knobs in, it does not make it level. Minor thing.

I only needed a philips screwdriver to put together and drill to anchor to wall.
