ClosetMaid 36-by-12 Inch Shelf, White #1031

ClosetMaid 36-by-12 Inch Shelf, White #1031The previous reviewers state that the nails are smaller than the holes in the supports. They are correct. However, by reading and following the directions, one should insert the plastic anchor through the hole in the support into the pre-drilled holes in the wall followed by tapping in the nail as directed. If the hole in the wall was pre-drilled to the specified size in the directions, the install should proceed with no issues. Like my dad always told me, "When all else fails, READ the directions!". Sage advice.

Hung this in my closet to add more storage space. Everything about it worked out great. Came with all the supplies.

I was looking for a way to organize the laundry closet in my apartment and I figured I could not go wrong with ClosetMaid. I did have to cut this down to the length I needed (instructions are provided on how to do this), end caps were provided for the cut ends. This shelf is very sturdy (I have a large stack of cook books on it now) and it was very easy to install.

Master Craft Cap Hangup Baseball Hat Organizer, Tapioca

Master Craft Cap Hangup Baseball Hat Organizer, TapiocaThis hanger will probably work fine for those of you who wear adjustable baseball caps, but was useless to me since I were fitted caps. It's designed with velcro straps that wrap around the adjustable part of your cap, which fitted caps do not have.

Amazon's return center scored Major Points with me by refunding my $$ & didn't put me through the hastle of returning this item. I still have the item "unopened" & it seems I can't even give it away.

This works exactly as promised. The wide strap holds each hat without you having to readjust the hat Velcro since the holders on the organizer has Velcro strips that open and close to hold the hat. I just hung it on a hook behind the door and put a ton of hats on it. It doesn't swing around when I open or close the door. Just what I wanted.

Bought for storing many baseball caps. It really does the job well. Best storage solution that I have found for them.

My husband seems to come home with a new cap every month or so and I'm not sure why since he has 30 plus caps already. The more I tried to organize his caps, the caps would end up being in a closet out of sight. I have concluded that this has to be why the man keeps buying more! Maybe it's like women and shoes.

Now the caps are very efficiently stowed away but easily accessible and very visible every time my husband enters and leaves the house. I keep this in our garage hanging with the dog leashes and "to go" stuff where we enter and leave. Now it's so it's easy to grab a cap on the way out. Then there's also the visual reminder to hook that cap back up before going back into the house. This has led to my kitchen counter no longer being the cap resting place along with the keys, wallet, mail and everything else that seems to collect there! I did find 1 cap that couldn't be hung but I just used a small binder clip to attach it.

Organize It All Concord 3-Tier Storage Cart 17745

Organize It All Concord 3-Tier Storage Cart 17745Original price: $101.00

Price: $27.00

You Save: $74.00 (73%)

Trust me it could have been a dollar and it wouldn't have been worth it. The Neu Home 17745 Organize It All Concord 3-Tier storage cart is garbage, and they wanted originally $101.00 for it that is laughable! One of the wood sides has a wood knot in it and at that knot it was cracked, the cuts to the wood aren't straight, so attempting to put the baskets into the pre-drilled holes was impossible, they won't line up properly. Yes, the product arrived quickly, but my guess is it arrived quickly because they wanted to get rid of the product from their inventory as quickly as possible. Save your time and money DON'T purchase this product no matter how cheap..I guess the old adage applies you get what you pay for..but even at $27.00 and for the size it is it should have been decent.Neu Home 17745 Organize It All Concord 3-Tier Storage Cart

If I had seen this cart in a store, I would not have purchased it. I assembled the cart the day I received it, following the simple picture instructions. However, once assembled, the cart wobbled back and forth. It was not sturdy but wobbled at the slighted push. While I liked the wood details, to keep the cart we would have had to figure out how to reinforce the cart to make it sturdy. My husband felt that the best way to indicate poor design was to return the cart.

Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, White

Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, WhiteThe Hamilton Beach Garment Drying Station is the underdog that you root for. It faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge and it tries and tries, but just falls short. Still, you appreciate its effort and reward it by trotting it out for a use every now and then.

The problem of drying delicates and shrinkable knits is hardly a new one. Since clotheslines are so out of fashion now, most people resort to drip-drying these items on hangers. But this is hardly a solution, either.

Enter the Garment Drying Station, which promises to drastically cut drying times while protecting your clothes. The biggest problem is that it fails on the first count in order to succeed on the second. I've found that drying times often stretch into the hours, especially for knits. I tried drying a few medium-weight cotton sweaters on it and they were still damp after running all night. A heavier-weight hoodie sweatshirt? Pfft forget about it. Lightweight materials such as silks and synthetics can be finished in two to three hours.

Fortunately, while it's running, the Station isn't very loud its fan is roughly as loud as that of a microwave. So assuming that it's in an adjacent room, you'll barely notice it. And it does blow the pleasant smell of clean laundry throughout the house.

But maybe the worst drawback to the System is the size conundrum. It takes up a large footprint when its set up approximately 2.5 feet square. However, this still isn't large enough to completely spread out most garments. One of the problems that I faced with the knit sweaters is that I had to fold the sleeves over the body in order to fit them on to the drying rack. The wet-on-wet portions of the sweaters were obviously much slower to dry. Sure, I could have stopped by every now and then to rearrange the sleeves, but suddenly the convenience factor is gone. Also, the size of the racks can be a problem for thinner fabrics as you have no choice but to either fold the garment up or else leave it hanging off the edge, either of which can produce unwanted creases. There is an optional attachment that lets you hang hangers over the unit, but then suddenly I'm out $25 more dollars and back to hang-drying clothes anyway.

Setup and takedown are both very easy and operation is a simple on/off switch. The Station is constructed of plastic that feels durable and high-quality mesh that shouldn't snag any of your clothing.

So the Garment-Drying Station attempts to solve a likely unsolvable situation and falls somewhat short. Still, if you have a big wardrobe of delicate light-weight clothes, a lot of spare space to operate the unit, and a pretty hefty amount of patience, it's a worthwhile investment.

PROS

* Gentle drying of your delicate and/or shrinkable garments

* Does fill a good amount of the house with a pleasant "fresh laundry" smell

* Surprisingly quiet during operation

* Quality construction

CONS

* Lengthy drying times

* Takes up considerable space, both when in use and when stored

* Drying racks are nevertheless too small to flatten out most items

This sweater dryer was the answer to my prayers. Living in Florida, I don't own many sweaters or sweatshirts; so I keep them in a tight rotation. This dries even heavy sweaters in about 24 hours. I've even started using it for delicates, to dry them quicker.

The initial set up is a bit of a nightmare, so I wouldn't recommend this if you don't plan on setting it up and leaving it for at least the winter months. If it weren't for the set up, I would give it 5 stars!

This dryer does use electricity for the fan, and I plan on leaving the clothes on it for a day. Obviously, the amount of time necessary for drying depends on the humidity in the house. Another advantage is if your air is dry, the water drying from the clothes adds to the humidity. I find that unless you want to take the dryer apart to lay out your clothes, the shelves are too close together. It would benefit from the addition of screen trays so that you can put your clothes on them and then slide them into the shelves. I dry most of my clothes on the top shelf and on the sides, and I find this works very well.

My reason for purchasing this drying rack was that I wear a lot of "lay flat to dry" sweaters, and having sweaters laying all over my house on laundry day was really getting to me. I bought this mostly because of its 4 shelves, and the fact that it claimed to dry things quicker was just an added bonus. Based on prior reviews I was a bit skeptical of its claim to shorten drying time, however I was pleasantly surprised. Sweaters that previously took at least a day (12+ hours) to dry were dry in about 4-6 hours.

the noise from the fan is not much worse than an older style humidifier. It does have a decent size foot print, however it does come apart easily for more compact storage when not in use. The only thing I would change is that I would make the shelves slightly longer, as many of my sweaters have a couple of inches that hang over the end.

overall I have been really pleased with this item so far.

I bought two of these dryers one for my friend and both of us are fiber dyers. The wool dried overnight, it is terrific, The racks are about the size of a regular dryer but it has so many racks you can use some or one. I would buy this in a heartbeat. Works very well, better than a fan I used to use.

This shelf is attractive but does me no good when it is broken. One of the glass shelves was completely fractured off both metal spools that holds it to the frame. Finding a 2 tier component shelf in anything but black with Prime shipping is next to impossible, so now I have to decide to try again with a replacement or keep looking.

Burnes of Boston LL2931 Level Line Walnut 3 piece Ledge Set

Burnes of Boston LL2931  Level Line Walnut 3 piece Ledge SetSomehow I missed it on the description, but these shelves are plastic, don't get me wrong they are acceptable as an entry level shelving, but they are not Walnut shelves.

Just thought others might benefit from knowing for sure that they aren't wood.

I have installed other photo ledges before and while they were fairly simple to hang, this system beats them all! All you have to is hang a small plastic strip on the wall (it has a level built into it). You add one nail at a time, keeping the level where it needs to be, and then you are done. There are optional anchors and screws if you need them. Then all you have to do is put the ledge on the plastic piece. The piece is made of hard plastic and has a lip for the ledge to hang on. No worries, as it is very sturdy! I use the anchors, because I tend to put several heavy picture frames on mine.

The finish is a nice and comes in several other colors. They are made of wood and laminate materials (but most photo ledges are). There is a lip on the top to help hold frames in place. The Burnes of Boston product line is a bit more expensive than other ledges, but it is worth every penny. The hanging system and detail are worth it. You can try mixing and matching the sizes if you have a large wall to put photos/displays on.

The shelves look very nice themselves, but, as others have said, the mounting, although easy to do, leaves the shelves feeling unsturdy. I would certainly limit the weight on them.

On the other hand, the mounting hardware is poor at best. The fasteners that are supposed to screw into the wall are of the poorest quality. After drilling holes, three of the six actually CRUMBLED as I touched them. I wound up using my own subsitiutes to insure a stable mount.

As long as you know that they're not made of wood (although parts that don't show are), this is a nice easy-to-put-up set of picture ledges. I got mine at a big box store that has these in other styles and colors. Took me less than 5 minutes to get these up, thanks to the level being there on the plastic piece. All mounting nails and (if they're needed) anchors are included. All you need is a hammer. If you intend to put other than a picture on this ledge, I suggest weighing the pieces together keeping the total weight to less than 10 pounds. These are not shelves, only shallow ledges. I'm very happy with their appearance.

Very good product. It may be plastic but it looks like wood. Very attractive and easy to put up. You can't beat it for convenience, price and looks.

Rev-A-Shelf 4WP18-57-KIT 57" Swing Out Pantry Kit - Wood - Maple

Rev-A-Shelf 4WP18-57-KIT 57' Swing Out Pantry Kit - Wood - MapleThis is a great product. I purchased it when I started building the kitchen cabinets for my new house. When I opened the box and looked at the instructions included, I was VERY disappointed. I call the tech support number on the instructions and they knew little about the product and would not give me any help with how to build the cabinet to install it in. The rev-a-shelf catalog had information on the size of the cabinet, and if I had not looked in the catalog i never would have been able to build the cabinet to fit the product. I had hoped the tech support would give me some help in how to mount the divider the inside units mount or at least give me some load ratings, but they would not. I had purchased a d shaped 5 level lazy Susan pantry unit and Double Electric Assist Waste Containers and both from rev-a-shelf. they came with good instructions and templates to use installing them. I expected the same quality of instructions in this product but was very disappointed.

The units are very well built and look great installed. If you are not an engineer or experienced cabinet builder i would not recommend this kit.

Salamander Archetype 5.0 (Cherry)

Salamander Archetype 5.0
  • Made of Solid Cherry Hardwood
  • Provides 5 shelves along with flexibility of infinite vertical adjustment
  • This is often used as the foundation for an expanded Archetype system
  • Weight Capacity: 250 lbs

I bought the "Cherry wood finish" version from Amazon. Received it in two working days with normal shipping. Opened the box very well packed, and to my surprise, what I found was butcher block colored wood instead of the cherry. The box was marked Cherry so there may have been a mix-up in the factory.

Two of the wood shelves had slight blemishes on them, knot holes that were rough to the touch. Not too big a deal as I just turned them over so when the rack was set up, the blems would faced down.

I got this stand in Cherry color from Amazon for $225 and I think it is a very good deal. Waited for the following weekend, as I knew it would take some time to assemble it. It did take about 1 hour to get it assembled and leveled. But once assembled and setup correctly you are rewarded with a increase in resolution and imaging. I wanted a decent component stand and did not expect the sound to change for good. The images were placed more precisely and the holography of my system did increase a bit. The music seems more focused now compared to the make shift TV stand my components were placed on. This could be because of the Mega Spikes I installed on this stand, which gives it more stability and looks better. For the price I paid, I certainly will recommend fellow audio enthusiasts. I got a deal on the Megaspikes $25. This is the lowest I have seen on them anywhere!! Highly recommended :-)

The stand arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. The quality of the stand is very high both the wooden shelves and the metal parts are all well built. It seems easy to assemble from looking at it, but it does take a long time. Each shelf has 8 nuts and 8 rubber washers that need to be threaded onto the support rods. This takes a long time about two hours to assemble. Also, be careful with the support rods if you bang them together the threads will be damaged and getting the nuts on will be a bear. All-in-all, the time to assemble and the cost is well worth it I have a solid, beautiful, and modern (but not trendy) audio stand. It will house many audio systems over the years.
