These shelves are excellent! They are very sturdy and very easy to install, assuming you have the basic contruction skills to use a drill, screwdriver, and level. They look very nice and hold a good amount of weight. Make sure you find at least one stud for each shelf you install, this greatly improves the sturdiness of the shelf. I shopped around, these 4' shelves are very hard to find in a store. I thought the price was fair. Definitely recommend this product.Want Crown Moulding Wood Shelf - 48" White (White) (4"H x 48"W x 5"D) Discount?
I ordered this to put on the top of the beadboard in our bathroom. My boyfriend was skeptical at first but ended up liking it much more than he thought he would. It was easy to install and looks great! I love it and now I have a place for candles and bath salts. It was much cheaper than buying trim to make our own shelf. 100% satisfied and happy!Tuesday, April 29, 2014

Home Styles 5520-94 Aspen Kitchen Island, Rustic Cherry Finish
Cons: it was easy to put together, but the handles were kind of crappy. My husband had to put different screws in to get them to be tight against the drawer. This was not a big deal, but for those that want no extra work this is a minus. The top two drawers also stick sometimes, which again, is not a big deal for us, but for someone else they may be.
Overall we love this island and would buy it again.Though not the cheapest, this Aspen Kitchen Island was the nicest looking island around and the color was perfect. Seeing no other reviews for it, I decided to take a chance and order it not knowing what to expect. It arrived in a timely manner in 3 huge boxes, and I was more than a bit intimidated at first. However the instructions were perfect, everything was in perfect shape and labled correctly, and it didn't take me long at all to assemble. It's beautiful, it's huge, the storage is fantastic, the drawers, the cupboard, the sliding legs, the counter topeverything is top quality and works perfectly, and I don't have anything negative to say about it. If you're looking for an awsome island and this one is available (sometimes it's not) don't think, just buy. You'll thank me later.

Sonax BL-6440 Berlin 44-Inch TV Bench with Solid Wood Uprights
The assembly is typical knock down furniture, so if you have ever put something together from IKEA or similar you should be able to handle this. The only tricky part is aligning the four glass doors, and this is the reason I gave it four stars instead of five I would urge the manufacturer to use 35mm cup hinges for the glass doors which are far easier to adjust, and would only add a few dollars to the cost. Admittedly it would require a significant redesign to accommodate these, but the added durability and speed of installation (would have saved 20 minutes or more, no kidding) would be worth it.
Some specific suggestions about the assembly. Make sure you put it together on a surface that protects the finish, and gives you room to spread out. I assembled it on the living room carpet. Take a couple of minutes to sort and inventory the hardware before starting everything was there in my package, but a spare or two would have not been a bad idea.
I used a #2 Phillips screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a small hammer to assemble the unit. Make sure the screwdriver is good quality and in good condition, as some of the screws can be stripped easily, especially if you use a worn tool.
Study the instructions first, and then start the assembly. It is straightforward, but there are a few points when more care is needed.
If you are not used to handling the small brad nails that secure the back, use a pair of needle nose pliers to grab the brad near the tip and hold in place while you tap them in place. Your fingers will thank you! You may want to think about your equipment and drill or cut extra holes in the back in you need to before installing this piece, as it will be much easier to do it at this stage. In particular, I would make sure that you cut holes if putting a gaming system or other unit that runs hot even better would be to put them on the open shelf above, as lack of air circulation is a killer for these types of electronics.
When you screw the cam posts into the solid wood legs, coat the threads with Beeswax (available at a hardware store) or drag the screws across and old candle. The wax will lubricate the threads and make them much easier to install. This is a good idea when screwing the metal bars that support the top into the legs in the next to last step too. It also helps to apply firm downward pressure with the palm of your hand to the top of the screwdriver while turning with your other hand, as these types of screw are easily damaged if the tip slips.
When installing the shelves, leave out two of the supports on one side, and turn the shelf at an angle to put them into. They will fit, but the fit is close. After you get them in you can install the final two supports.
The doors are a pain, but if you take your time you can get even seams. On my unit, a 3/16 gap was about right. Tighten the screws that hold the glass to the hinges and then back them off about a half turn. You can to gently maneuver them into place and then snug them down. Get all four doors up before you spend too much time aligning them, as you will want the center gap to match the two door gaps. For the metal u-shaped pieces that act as the magnet catch, I found that peeling off the adhesive backing and holding the adhesive, sticky side up to the door as I slide them on from the top worked best. I did pinch them a little to improve the fit. Again, a higher quality bit of hardware here that used screws and rubber instead of adhesive would have saved time.
Since they give you more of the rubber dots to support the top than the 8 specified, I used 10 to support the top. This way, I could line them up using the door seems as a guide. The top has a warning that it's maximum load is 200 pounds; this should not be an issue for just about all flat screen TV's, but do be careful if you put other things on it in addition.
All in all the final assembled piece is worth the effort, as it is solid and very good looking., The wood pillars in particular are a handsome design element, and are made out of a nicely finished, very dense hardwood. I did note a couple of small flaws in the finish, but because all the legs are the same part I was able to pick two that look perfect for the front.
Take your time with the assembly and you will have a very nice piece that will look great in my room and last for a long time.

The stand arrived with no damage to any items internally and just the normal wear to packaging during shipment. Overall I'm very happy with the stand. I looked through literally hundreds of stands to find a unit that could accomodate my Yamaha Receiver which needed at least a 19" depth. Very nice stand. Nicer looking than I thought it would be with the black glass top. The only issue was one of the screws was malformed which holds one of the metal crossbars between two corner posts. Didn't notice it until I had tried to screw it in all the way and it never fully secured. I pulled it out and the hole was basically stripped. Either a longer screw or bigger screw was needed to fix. I went to HomeDepot and found a suitable replacement a #14 4" wood screw which fits the hole and holds it securely since it's longer. Instructions are simple and it goes together pretty quickly.The color of the wood posts is pretty accurate to the internet picture, at least on my monitor, if you're trying to match other furniture. Would buy again or recommend to others.

We purchased this piece to hold a new 60" TV within a 64" space. Product arrived without any shipping damage, which was my first concern when ordering rather than purchasing locally. This piece is heavy and well constructed. My husband put it together in approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. It looks great in our living room.Want Sonax BL-6440 Berlin 44-Inch TV Bench with Solid Wood Uprights Discount?
Well packaged and easy "IKEA" type assembly style. I would advise drilling out certain screw holes as the philips screws are soft and tend to strip out on the heads. Go slowly, take your time and the results are rewarding.Wednesday, October 30, 2013

i thought this was pretty easy to put together, but i dont find it that sturdy. the covering is nice and the extra space did help to make more space in my draw. the connectors to hold the frames together are made of cheap plastic. some of them tore while i was putting it together, but it's holding up for now (with the help of my wall). for the price it isn't too bad.This item was easy to put together, but is not made for heavy coats. I am a little disappointed about the quality. Do not buy it, it's a waste of money. Besides T-Shirts it won't hold much.Want Honey-Can-Do WRD-01273 30-Inch Wide Extra-Tall Top-Shelf Storage Closet, Blue Discount?
I bought two of these. I assembled them both, put my clothes in them, and they both literally collapsed. The plastic snapped, the poles bent. This was under the weight of just regular clothes, and the closet wasn't even full yet. A waste of time and money. I returned both of the damaged closets. I will never buy another item from this manufacturer.
