Hamilton 4 shelf Bookcase

InterMETRO Storage Basket
I may switch to the 18x24" shelves, since all I'd need to replace are the shelves, and if I do, these will still work. So in that sense I consider them a good investment. They'll work on any configuration.

Pine Extra Tall Cabinet Finish: White
Buy Pine Extra Tall Cabinet Finish: White Now
Not as white as it looks in the picture. Wood is cheap, and instructions actually SKIP important steps (luckily, I have assembled enough Ikea stuff to be able to figure it out), items are mislabled between the intructions and actual product. Pay careful attention to the measurements and make sure they are exactly what you want, I guesstimated it to be twice the size it came out. This and another Wayfair product I ordered were extremely poor quality. After I assembled the first crAppy item, I inquired with Wayfair whether I could return the second item unopened (this item) and they responded that they would accept the return but I would be responsible for the shipping BOTH ways and they would get back to me with further details (which they did not). I kept it, assembled it, it looks decent for now but doesn't seem like it'll hold up too long, but definitely not worth almost $200!!!Read Best Reviews of Pine Extra Tall Cabinet Finish: White Here
I like this cabinet because it adds extra storage in small spaces or limited space. I bought a home without closets and I am in desperate need of storage space. Fits where a normal cabinet is too large. Is solid wood=plus although is it thin. I put it together without too much trouble however I have had experience doing this so I already knew how to do most of the steps without reading directions. Quality is okay for the price. Dont over tighten is my caution. You want to tighten it more because it almost feels like it needs to be tightened because of the soft pine wood but dont over tighten or you will strip the holes. TIP: Doors were easy to align because I layed the cabinet flat on its back and put a box inside so the doors were laying flush/straight before screwing them inI highly recommend attaching doors in this fashion due to my experience with other cabinets that I had crooked doors from following instructions and crooked because trying to attach doors with the unit in an upright position. It is worth the $ 200 bucks I paid but not the 400. bucks that yo yo sellers are now trying to sell it for here on amazon.

We bought this item in hopes of space saving in our kitchen, big mistake. We're pretty savvy at assembling furniture so we thought we would give it a try.For starters assembly is hell, nothing fits into the moldings without you pressing on it and the material is so shoddy you are afraid of breaking it.
After much care, we had it assembled and the darn thing fell apart. The hinges and fasteners are not strong enough to hold the weight of the material or are too strong and the "wood" cracked under the pressure. The material of the so-called wood or whatever it was came with pre-cracks in it straight from the packaging.
We just wound up requesting a refund and return it, the company did not even bother wanting it back and gave us a refund.
Best to stay away from this product and look for something else.

2 Shelf Stackable Shoes Rack - No Tools Required
Only two pairs of 11-12 sized shoes fit per rack.
So really too expensive for what you get.
Careful research reveals the plastic 30 and 50 shoes racks are no good as they sag under load after a month.
I finally found this as my next purchase:
Whitmor Chrome Shoe Tower 50 Pair Chrome
Its all metal, costs less and holds way more shores than this product.
Rather than just whining I (hopefully) found a much better solution.
Hope this helps!These are great shoe racks. The assembly is a little tricky for one person to handle, but the end result is a nice shoe rack. Will order more in the future.

Target Marketing Systems Montego Buffet
Buy Target Marketing Systems Montego Buffet Now
Received the package just before 3pm this afternoon. After reading all of the reviews here, I first unpacked all the pieces and then reviewed the directions and checked the parts. Both the box and styrofoam are cheap and flimsy, so I was surprised to find that none of the pieces were damaged. All the wood parts are clearly labeled with their part letters. The screws and other various parts are packed together in just a few bags with numerous part-letter stickers on each bag, but as long as you can count and match the parts to the picture chart in the directions it's easy to figure out which parts are which. The directions themselves are more pictures than words, but again, easy to understand. I had this completely built in less than an hour! The only part that I even had to think twice on was the two strips that go across the bottom and middle of the front; they have cams & wood dowels closer to one edge than the other and it matters which edge is up. My only real complaint is the glue on the part-letter stickers they could use something easier to remove!!Overall, from unpacking to finished product, I am very happy with this buffet!

I had hope for this decently-priced buffet as I was planning on using it for a bar cabinet, and hope continued as it arrived in a relatively-timely manner (given the shipping was free). Too bad I opened the box...First of all, as soon as I opened the box tiny bits of styrofoam scattered my apartment. Apparently this stuff was supposed to be padding the pieces of my purchase, but I guess having to clean up confetti is expected, right? Now time to inspect the pieces inside the box: so far, no real problem. I get [what I thought was] 1/3 of the way done and realize that some of wood pieces, which are black, had scuff marks all over them (namely, the visible part of the top of the buffet). Deciding to further inspect, I see that every visible piece with any kind of detailing (namely, the doors) has the paint chipped off where the corners join. Lovely, just lovely. Add in 5+ hours of construction time thanks to instructions that make IKEA look like detailed geniuses and you have yourself a fantastic experience.
Never making this mistake again, and you shouldn't either. I could've got something better at a yard sale. /rant

I will start this review with you don't always 'get what you pay for'.....sometimes it's less.We are professional cabinetmakers, have been for over 30 yrs. If I can include a picture I will, but suffice it to say we design and produce some of the most high-end cabinets and furniture still made in the USA. Sometimes, I just need something that will 'do the trick' for a space in my home, and don't want to have the expense of buying my own product. This was the case hereI just needed a printer stand with storage for a craft area. We have had quite a bit of experience with IKEA pieces and other self assemble pieces with kids going to college, etc. Not to mention (although I already did) we are PROFESSIONALS in this area. Sohere is the review:
The parts showed up in the box well packed and on time. Upon opening the box, I got a good dose of what I call the China stench, just such a chemical-laden bunch of fumes from the box. Hoping this is not what your air is like in China, but it wouldn't surprise me. It did dissipate rather quickly, and unlike a few other Made in China things I have purchased in the past few years, it wasn't something that had to air out on the patio or in the garage for a few days to keep it from killing you. Second impression: There are A LOT of parts. Not to worry, there are instructions and we are professionals :)
This is NOT a piece you could assemble on your own. I'm just sayin'.....this is a 2 person project. 2 people with the patience of Job.
You will need wood gluestandard Elmers type of glue would suffice as well. A #3 Phillips head screwdriver. We also ended up needing our cordless drill, small phillips tips, a clamp and a wrench.
What I found to be the biggest draw-back of this piece was that the machining was sloppy, making the assembly fittings either too snug or too loose, and the fact that the cam-lock assembly fittings were SO CHEAP and such a soft and low grade metal that if you twist it just a little too hard the fitting itself just starts to open up and will not hold the male counterpart to draw the pieces together. Also, where the holes are for the dowels the holes were loose, not so much round as slightly a 'wallered-out oval' so the dowels do not stay perpendicular to the piece they are inserted in. If you are not using some sort of wood glue to help hold them in place, they will fall out when you try to assemble the piece, and the cheapo cam-lock assembly fittings may or may not actually lock onto the male part to hold it together. In the end, the glued dowels are the only real chance you have that this piece will stay together at all.
It took 2 (sometimes 3) of us a full 2 1/2 hours to put this thing together, and at a few points we were really ready to just send it back. For instancethere is a piece that runs horizontally across the back that hold the thing together as well as connects the 2 back pieces together. I'm gonna tell ya right nowjust forget putting in the camlock bolts into this piece and just go with the dowels, b/c the camlock bolts do not line up correctly, and this is where you will need pliers or a wrench to jerk these pieces back out, b/c one you have screwed them in, you cannot reverse that process.
Alsoput the door hinges onto the face frame before you put it on the cabinet, b/c otherwise you have to try to stuff yourself into a little black space to screw them on, and if you are not a contortionist you may find this difficult.
The overall *quality* is about what I expect, however you will never move this piece from one home or apt to another, I would be shocked if it would survive a move. Is it an OK printer stand? Sure. It's going to do what I need it to do. Since they do not give you any indication on how big the bottom opening isit is 8 inches high and the doors are 19 1/4 inch high. I have some baskets that look pretty cute on the bottom area, and there is an adjustable shelf you can put in the section where the doors are.
I have not purchased anything else from this company, and do not plan to. If I did not have space restrictions for the space where I am using this for a printer stand, I probably would have picked something else. Or just given up and sent this back.
For the record, my son solved the "World's Most Difficult Puzzle" in less time. Seriously.
Good Luck!

Flat Top Prep / Work Table 30" x 72" x 35", 18 Gauge Stainless Steel (Knocked Down) *NSF*
Mine arrived with several cosmetic defects, mostly bent, dented, or scuffed corners, but that doesn't effect the table's usefulness. Easy to wipe down. Nice size for my needs. I think it may be bowed a bit, dippin in the center, but it works fine for my purposes.

Jewelry Mirrored Chest in Champagne Finish
On 2/15 I contacted the seller and they provided the following comment from the manufacturer: "This is not totally unusual when dealing with imports from time to time. Please instruct your customer to spray some Lysol in the areas, and afterwards open the drawers up and keep them open for a couple of days to allow the scent to dissipate."
Well, today is 2/22 and I have followed that advice and the smell remains. I still have not been able to put items into the chest because I am still hoping the smell will go away. The chest is pretty but be advised there may be some issues with odor.

Color black fits my decor which is black, red and white and contemporary So all goes together well, Above all it is very sturdy it holds my TV which is 42" my VCR, cable box, and lots and lots of DVD's.
