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.

Wall Mount Key Cabinet 30 Key Capacity

Buddy Products Key Cabinet, 30 Hooks, Steel, 3 x 12 x 10 Inches, GrayNo frills key box and decent price. Shipment was quick. Only problem is stickers and key tags are of low quality, would have liked to see them match the quality of the steel box, but they are passable.

Good cabinet if security is not a priority. Door probably could be opened with a screwdriver given a little bit of time. The numbered hooks that come with the cabinet aren't very sturdy but I really didn't expect better. I removed the hook assembly and installed my own key ring hook bars with very good results. All in all I am okay with the cabinet and would buy another provided of course security wasn't a major concern.

Easy Track 4-to-8-Feet Deluxe Closet Starter Kit

Easy Track RB1460 4 to 8-Foot Deluxe Closet Starter Kit, WhiteI have purchased and installed dozens of Easy Track and other brands' closet systems and accessories over the past 18 years. Easy Track is by far my favorite and what I have chosen to use in my own closets. Great quality, reasonable pricing and unmatched versatility. As a matter of fact, the reason I saw this item is because I am shopping for components to re-configure my existing closet design...try easily doing that with wire or any other systems!

Product quality and durability is unsurpassed. I imagine Easy Track doesn't appreciate it that I have many components from my original closet installation 18 years ago, in my current closet. They do not wear out!

With regards to the quality of the instructions, yes, the instructions used to be much more helpful and clear. The Easy Track system parent company has changed ownership over the years and whoever they have had edit the currently supplied directions apparently does not communicate well with others.

Remember these few points:

1.) Do not worry about having to do math like they say in the instructions. MOUNT THE TRACK 76" FROM THE FLOOR. This works well for users 4' 10" and up.

2.) Invest in a stud finder. Even the cheap electronic ones work well for this. Try to put two screws in every stud if possible. Rarely have I had to use toggles and even then, if you mark and drill the toggle holes centered behind a hole in the track, no problems!

3.) Put the vertical panels and shelves wherever you want! It's a personalized closet system! It can be changed if you don't like it.

4.) For additional stability when you have the system installed how you like it, pre-drill 1/8" holes in the bottom of the rod holders and rods with any hand held drill and install small set screws to hold the rods in place. This is NOT necessary if you measured right and the system is installed SNUGGLY between two walls but I recommend it.

5.) I always install one full length shelf which has to be purchased separately and is not available from Easy Track, along the top of the system. Put a few screws through the shelf into the tops of the vertical panels and this makes the installation even more stable.

Bottom line is anyone with ambition and minimal skills can install Easy Track closet systems like a pro! You will be surprised how great you will feel when your closet is organized exactly how you wanted it to be and you did all the work yourself!

I never had a closet organizer before, just a plain rod right across the top. I started looking at the different ones there were and am so greatful I chose this one. The price is steep, but its totally worth it. Ive had the closet for a month and it is very sturdy, I have about 100 pieces of clothing hanging and shoes, bags and more on the shelves.

I am very pleased with this purchase. Upon opening the package, I did notice that 3 of the 4 vertical panels had minor damage. Some of the smooth white finish had come off on some of the edges/corners. The unit still works as described and the clothes hide the damage.

I am 5'2" female and installed this by myself. As a whole, it was relatively hard to do alone and I recommend having a helper! The center shelving unit in the picture is built on the ground, then picked up, and hung on the Easy Track. This was EXTREMELY difficult to do by myself, but still doable....very heavy!

I decided to put my shelving unit to one side of the closet instead of having my clothing racks split on the left and right of shelves. I hung the Easy Track at the recommended height and can barely reach clothes hung on the top rod. This, however, was not a problem because my husband was given the top rack and I have taken the bottom! Surprisingly, even my thigh length coats and short dresses don't touch the ground when hung from the bottom rack! I have filled up every last inch of the clothing rods and it is still very strong.

The only thing I felt this closet organizer was missing was a top shelf! I went to my local hardware store and found the exact same material, had it cut to the width of the closet, bought some shelf brackets, and installed the shelf! It rests on top of this organizer's vertical panels, is reinforced by the shelf brackets (which are invisible due to the clothes hanging in front) and it looks like it came with the organizer!!!!!!!

This closet system is pretty good quality and easy to mount. I had it assembled on the wall within a few hours of receiving it. The instructions give an optional step of screwing the hanger rails into their mounts and to the vertical boards. In my opinion this in not optional it's necessary. The sides are too wobbly without this step.

The description says "overwrapped in a UPS shippable box". When I received it the pieces were falling out of the box, which is to flimsy for the weight of these particle boards. Fortunately there wasn't much damage, just a few chips here and there.

Just installed 2 of these systems in my walk in closet and couldn't be more pleased. They look very nice. They are sturdy and according to my contractor went up beautifully. Very affordable and look expensive!

Home Source Industries MR-2023 Multi Purpose Corner Shelf Rack, Maple Finish

Home Source Industries MR-2023 Multi Purpose Corner Shelf Rack, Maple FinishIt arrived when it was supposed to. It's made of plastic & partical board, nothing fancy, but it serves my purpose.

This product was received damaged with parts missing. I believe it was mishandled during shipment since the box was taped back together. Therefore, I cannot make a fair review of the product. It did seem a little less sturdy than I had hoped it would be.

Tupperware Shelf Smart Modular Container, ShelfSmart Slim Rectangular 2 (6 cups)

Tupperware Shelf Smart Modular Container, ShelfSmart Slim Rectangular 2
  • ShelfSmart containers were sold in 2004 and have since been discontinued.
  • Slim rectangular #2 holds 6 cups and measures 8.013"L x 3.877"w x 4.46"h.
  • Modular shapes stack up equally, allowing you to customize your food storage system.
  • Integrated handle on front of containers makes it wasy to grasp and remove from shelves.
  • Dishwasher safe.

I love these containers and Tupperware discontinued them due to the really tight seal. They take getting use to. This seller emailed me right away that she had them stored and had to find them and because I had to wait one day for her to search, she included a few freebies I wasn't expecting. I appreciate good customer service and even without the freebies I would have been happy. Thank you for a great product and for your good business practices.

RoomMates Magnetic Mountable Cloud Shelf with Wall Hook

RoomMates Magnetic Mountable Cloud Shelf with Wall HookI bought 2 of these for my nursery. It is very cute against a blue wall. My wall was a little too pale, but it still looks nice. Only complaint is that the 3 mounting screws are not white to match the shelf. They tend to stand out.

Also, this shelf is mostly decorative and is only big enough for a few small items.

I had been searching all over the internet and in home stores for the perfect bookshelves. My LO's room has been an ongoing project and everything has been carefully selected. The fact that they are metal does not affect the overall look of the product. They support all of the books I needed to store and look wonderful. Hubby hung them up within a few minutes and I'm in love!

Designs2Go 4-Tier Bookshelf

Convenience Concepts Designs2GoTM 4-Tier Tower in NaturalI use this to store some of my kid's toys, but I wouldn't put anything too heavy on it. It's also not very stable without the wall attachments.

This is the 4th bookcase of this type that I have purchased. I love them! They are so easy to put together and airy and open looking!

Creative Connectors Trio Wall Mount Shelves, Modern Bracketless Shelf Set, Walnut

Creative Connectors Trio Wall Mount Shelves, Modern Bracketless Shelf Set, WalnutShelves look great once installed. Much more solid than we thought they would be. One of the

wooden connectors was missing, so we cut one of the remaining ones in half, which seemed to work.

To assemble, simply place the supplied paper template on the wall, poke holes with a screw or whatever, then drill holes.

We purchased some wall anchors (about $2) for extra support, so we pushed those into the holes by hand,

then screwed in the connectors. At that point, all you do is slide the shelves onto the connectors.

Once you do it, you will be amazed at just how easy it is and will fly through a second instal if you purchase more than one.

We're happy with the unit. Would have given it 5 stars if it would have had the missing piece and if it would have included the

wall anchors.

I first ordered these from Amazon, and they all arrived damaged with chipped and cracked veneer. This was due to a poor packing job at the Amazon warehouse. The box arrived in terrible shape, and I had to return them. I liked the idea so much, I decided to try my luck again, and order from Stacks & Stacks (via Amazon). They actually packed them correctly at their warehouse, and they arrived undamaged. They were easy to assemble, and I really love that there are so many creative ways to arrange these. These shelves are really unique, and a great alternative to other hanging wall shelves. I wanted to display some larger collectibles, and most nic-nac shelves are only about 3 inches deep. Also, these can hold a lot of weight. Each smaller shelf piece is about 7x7 inches, which works great to display blown glass, pottery, collectible plates, picture frames, etc. My only advice, if you order these through the mail, is that you inspect them carefully for damage when they arrive.

This shelf is made of sturdy wood and came with a template to assist in hanging it on the wall. My husband loved that part as it took all the hard work out of mounting. The entire shelf would have been up on the wall in about 10 minutes but, unfortunately, we were missing a mounting bracket. Thankfully the company who makes the shelf was wonderful and sent us a new one without any issue. Would definitely recommend this shelf and/or any others this company makes.

This was an excellent solution to my storage problems. It was affixed to the wall next to my vanity. I didn't have room there for anything that would be set on the floor as it would block the register. This gives me plenty of room to set my stuff. I didn't install it myself, my husband did say it was hard to install, but it really looks great.

I didn't realized I would have to assemble the shelves myself plus the sauder "wood" had chips all over it. I had purchased it as part of a Christmas gift and ended up returning it all together.

Prepac Elite Collection 32-Inch Storage Cabinet

Prepac Elite Collection 32-Inch Storage CabinetI had shopped the local big box stores for cabinets for a 70" section of wall, at a 16" depth. Couldn't find anything that matched my needs. I took a big chance buying something so heavy via mail order, but I'm very happy that I bought the Prepac cabinets from Amazon. I purchased two tall cabinets and two shorts for above. I installed the cabinets without the doors, leveled and squared the 4 together, then attached the doors. All turned out great, and they look great. I'm very pleased with the nickel finish handle/pulls, they have a classy look. I had a screw that wouldn't seat properly in one of the handles, but I'm not sure if I stripped the threads myself or if the handle was defective. I phoned customer service, and they were VERY responsive to helping replace the part for free. I was also pleased that the cabinets were made in North America (Vancouver), rather than coming in from China on a freighter, which of course is just a personal preference. The cabinets are great, and are of better quality than the similar ones at the big box stores. They were packed very well to prevent damage, and they all arrived via UPS with no damage. Very happy customer.

I like this cabinet. I've been in the market for a unit like this to go in the laundry room. Shelves are adequate. I would like to see one or two more shelves included but it works as is. Good finish for the price. Assembly took about 30 minutes or so. I would recommend this unit.

This is a solidly built cabinet. The doors are weighty and the backing helps to stabilize the unit. With the addition of the topper cabinet, we now have plenty of pantry storage. Good quality product.

I liked this cabinet so much, I bought 4 of them. Very solid construction, easy assembly, looks nice inside and out. Great product especially for the price.

Want Prepac Elite Collection 32-Inch Storage Cabinet Discount?

I absolutely love this cabinet. We were looking for a pantry type deal for our kitchen. We needed it to be deep enough for cereal boxes and sturdy enough that the "can" shelf wouldn't start to bow in the middle as our previous cabinet did. This cabinet is perfect! It was easy to assemble. My only warning is that it had some slight damage during shipping. Fortunately, (especially since we didn't notice it until after my husband had put it together) it was in a place that no one can see.
