Bush Furniture Stanford Audio Cabinet with 2 Adjustable Shelves, Glass Door, in Black and Cherry

Bush Furniture Stanford Audio Cabinet with 2 Adjustable Shelves, Glass Door, in Black and CherryQuality consistent with other Bush products, which is to say mediocre, but presentable. Only two small defects on arrival, both concealable during construction so didn't have to bother with 8 week lag to receive new pieces from manufacturer. Otherwise, if you handle with care, will come together pretty nicely. Supports all products just fine (although barely with HK amplifier). Still, much easier than spending 10X a much on solid cabinet for storage piece. Recommended if in a bind for a less pricey decent looking utility unit you can put together yourself in just a few hours.

Product received on time, without any damage and was relatively easy to assemble. Looks nice and works well as both an A/V rack as well as a knick-knack display.

LockerWorks Hanging Locker Organizer

LockerWorks Hanging Locker Organizer Black/redMy son is in sixth grade in a school that has top lockers and bottom lockers, which is problematic on many levels no pun intented. First the lockers are 11 inches wide which seems standard, but only 33+ inches high which doesn't leave much room for 3 inch binders, text books, notebooks, library books, musical instruments, gym clothes, winter coats and alike. Then toss in the fact that if the person with the locker above or below yours is at their loccker first and you have to wait to get into yours, then you have less time to find your stuff admist the clutter in your locker and then rush off to class which maybe at the other end of the building. Obviously, this what led me to search out some form of locker organization for my son and what lead me to this product. I admit it seemed pricey, but it it also seemed to be a good fit for what we needed. Well it arrived just the other day and I was amazed at how well it was constructed and the many features that the product description did not even mention. The Metal Hangers are beyond sturdy and more that ample support for all the books other items that need to be stored in a locker. The Hangers can also be slipped into 3 different slots at the top of the organizer in order to shorten the length a few inches if the organzer is to long. Now if even at the lowest slot the organizer is still to long, or if you just want to limit the organizer to 2 shelves instead of its normal 3 shelves, you can snap up the bottom shelf leaving you with a 2 shelf version. It also has a slot on the top shelf where it looks like you can slip a note pad or wallet for safe keeping and a strip of elastic banding has been attached where you can slip spare pencils, pens, or even a folded up note. Finally, the Organizer is 9 inches wide which still leaves room for a coat and/or empty backpack to be slipped into the locker beside it. And that's just off the top of my head. To sum up, it's great and we'll worth the money. I intend on buying them for each of my other 4 children when they reach middle school. They are even so well made, I can see them lasting through highschool to college where it could be hung in a closet. Trust me it's worth it!

My daughter needed to organize her half-locker so she could quickly grab books between classes. This organizer was perfect! It's sturdy, adjustable, and because it has three "shelves," it holds a multitude of books and her coat easily.

My daughter loves this shelf unit. The lockers at her school are the thin ones with the book section above. Hers was on the top and she couldn't see into it or reach it. She has installed the hanging shelves and it is working out beautifully. Now I don't have to listen to the complaining about not being able to see/get to her books. It is a little pricey, but worth it.

I bought this product to try and help my daughter organise her books. Unfortunately the locker was deeper than the organiser and all the books kept falling through the back. The hooks for holding it up worked very well and it's very sturdy but your locker can't be deeper than the organisers dimensions.

My son is in his first middle school year and has been using the locker organizer hanging shelves for about two months. They have made a considerable difference for him in terms of easier and faster retrieval of his stuff when he is in a hurry the school breaks between classes are just three minutes long. Additionally, I suspect that the day-to-day practice of good space and time management of his locker will translate into better time and space management in other areas of his life; for example, his work at home.

On the technical side, the shelves are both very simple and very robust since they do not wear off at all and are easily adjustable length-wise (to two or three shelves). They accomodate all sorts of books and school tools. Therefore, they could probably be used until (and even beyond) highschool graduation of one's child, in a shorter or a taller locker. The one thing they will not be able to accomodate easily is a winter coat that hangs on the side wall or the back wall of the locker the space left is insufficient. If the shelves are used (after adjustment) in their shorter version (i.e. two shelves), one could squeeze a backpack at the bottom of the locker. My son's locker has an upper (drawer-like) subcompartment, on whose bottom plate are the shelves hanging, and this arrangement works fine. I do not know whether a different arrangement will work as well; for example, we have not tried fixing the shelves on hooks that hang on the side or back walls of the locker.

In summary, the hanging shelves would be an excellent choice for managing space and (consequently) time for someone (student or other) who is made to use a locker. They obviously cannot increase locker space but they can make life bearable for the user. The price, when I made the purchase at least, seemed rather high but I have forgotten about it already, given the utility and durability of the device, and knowing that it has saved my son a lot of grief at times when he is left to fend for himself.

Southern Enterprises Over-The Door 3-Tier Basket Storage

Southern Enterprises Over-The Door 3-Tier Basket StorageThis is a great set of over the door baskets.

I was looking for something to go on the back of my bathroom door for storage, but didn't want something huge. This is perfect for all those extra shampoos and toilet paper rolls.

Easy to assemble and petite. I could actually fit 2 across my bathroom door (standard apartment door size).

A definite must have for those who want extra space, but to not have things just out in the open.

This would be 5 stars if it were 25 bucks. It's expensive for what it is. I like it, though. I had been worried it wouldn't fit on the front door of my condo it's a metal door that looks like it's made of wood but it fits fine and the door can open and close with only a little more "give" required. I use it for gloves and sunglasses, small hats, little things like that. I'm really glad to have it since I can't mount anything on that door due to it being metal, this is the only way, and it is very nice to keep clutter clean.

If you didn't have the door mounting issue I'd suggest Tag Seagrass Basket, 3-Compartment 29-Inch Tall Wall Basket instead if you can mount into the wall. I have both. The tag seagrass one is much better-looking and classier, also cheaper, than the over-the-door one. So consider both if you have that option.

I am using this for my yarn and it is out my eyesight. It blends nicely with the doors and does not protrude out very far. Not the largest baskets, but I am glad I got it and I don't have anything on the my floor to store my yarn.

Safco 6250 Industrial Steel Shelving, 6 Shelves, 36w x 12d, Dark Gray

Safco 6250 Industrial Steel Shelving, 6 Shelves, 36w x 12d, Dark GrayThey seem sturdy. The only problem is we can't install them because despite what you see in the picture, these do not come with the posts. Nowhere in the description does it mention this. These are the shelves only. If you order this you will get a box of shelves, some hardware and nothing more. The posts you also have to order.

**EDIT**

The seller sent the posts at a lowered costs. We got the shelves and put them together easily enough. They look great and are perfect size for a free standing book shelf. So far no complaints. One of the shelves was dinged pretty good, but whatever; that's the breaks when shipping heavy shelves around the country I guess.

Lipper International Bamboo 2-Tier 10-Inch Turntable

Lipper International Bamboo 2-Tier 10-Inch TurntableThese are great, but the measurements are not accurate! I bought them because I had a cupboard only 10-1/4 inch across, but these were closer to 10-1/2 inch in diameter and had to be sanded down in order to fit. Otherwise, I really like them.

Good quality, a teeny bit overpriced, but then I am still living ing the past. Fits right into our eclectic kitchen.

No complaints on this. We put it on a kitchen island and it helps maximize space. The rollers for rotating are not very smooth, but we don't use that so I can't say if it really matters or not. But it looks good and after about 6 months seems very durable.

A couple of issues with this. Bought two and I'm glad because they appear to have poor quality control on matching shades of wood. In one the top was real light and the bottom dark. The reverse on the other one. Not a huge problem, just flipped them. It would have been a problem if only one. The legs also did not match. Flipped them again and got better results. The legs don't seem to have a "finish" on them. One of the tops has a whiteish stain on top but they are going in the cabinet so doesn't make much of a difference to me. The turntable is not very smooth rolling kind of sticks. Not going to be turning it all day so again, not a huge big deal. If you plan on displaying this on your counter top you might want a better quality product but I'm storing these in the cabinet so it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. The product seems just average.

Like another reviewer said this is wider than 10". And because the base was installed off-center it scrapes against the wall of my 11"-wide cabinet every time it goes around. The dowels that came with it have flimsy ends that break instead of firmly holding in the tray's holes. For the money I expected this to be higher quality but really it's pretty cheap quality. I bought two and I'm considering returning the unopened one.

Small Helper Shelf by Grayline

Small Helper Shelf by GraylineDescribed as 8" x 8" x 4.625", my copy was 8" x 7.625" x 4.4375", but close enough to work for my needs. Rest of description right on. Thanks.

The rack was exactly as advertised. Could not find a small rack anywhere else. Very good for organizing small spaces.

Rubbermaid Shelving: Home Storage for the Bedroom

We have gone through a process to create a bedroom that is your very own sanctuary and refuge. First, we looked at picking out a theme for the bedroom – one that you found to be relaxing and comforting.

We looked at choosing colors that worked thematically with the theme you had chosen; and colors that were appropriate for use in a bedroom to make it as calm and serene as possible. This would ensure that you receive a good night’s rest; and it would also provide you a place to escape to, to relax and rejuvenate yourself.

Next, we looked at the little things that you can add to your bedroom to make it uniquely yours, including items that would take you to a place where you can relive past experiences over and over using your mind to take you on small vacations.

Rubbermaid’s Bento collection is designed to organize items, not just provide a storage place for them. The Bento Boxes have internal flex dividers, which provide you a method of dividing the space by creating unique sections where needed. You are able to stack boxes vertically, or inside each other. Bento Toppers can act as trays, covers or lids, providing an extra layer of organization for the Bento Boxes, or hiding what’s inside. The Bento Collection is made from sturdy materials, and the heavy-duty decorative fabric enables it to work within your home’s décorating scheme.

Organization in the Bedroom

Your bedroom is your sanctuary. It is the one place in your home that is yours. It is the one place that you can escape to when you need a few moments to yourself. Nothing can make a bedroom more uncomfortable as clutter. And all too often our bedroom is the final resting place for those things that you just don’t know what else to do with.

Let’s look at setting up systems to enable you to keep your bedroom free of clutter, so that even when you are tired or rushed, your bedroom continues to be that special place to escape to.

Nightstands can be one of those places where clutter builds and grows. To solve this problem, consider placing a wicker basket beside each nightstand where all the clutter can be moved to in the morning. When you or your partner is ready to retire, the books and magazines can be easily retrieved.

A bookshelf in the bedroom also provides a place to put books and magazines. The books are easy to find for use right before retiring, and are easy to place on the shelf upon arising.

Make sure that plenty of hangars are available so that it is easy to hang up clothes as they are taken off.
