Expand A Shelf - Mega

Expand A Shelf - MegaI have limited space for spices. I bought this so that I could easily see what I had and get to it. It does make it EASIER but you won't be able to read the label. I have to tell by color of the top, and mental notes of where each spice should be (alphabetical by herb or sweet, etc on different rows) What annoys me is trying to get the spice jar out and knocking the bottles below out of the cabinet. Still better than nothing but if you have room, get a revolving rack or one that goes in the drawer.

I use the Expand-A-Shelf product in many of my clients' kitchens. This product is not about creating space, but rather about improved visibility in the same amount of space.

The staggered height of the stadium steps allow you to see your food pantry items in a kitchen cabinet, even the ones located in the back of the cabinet. The product improves visibility in deeper cabinets when you have many small to medium size pantry items of the same height. It is ideal for canned goods & small bottles (e.g., spice bottles, soup cans, etc.). Just love this product!

This "spice stadium seating" as a friend calls it is a great space saver. I can easily fit four rows of spices in a standard wall cabinet and see/access all easily. Each "step" is pretty deep and easily accommodates larger jars and bottles. This product was also a lot sturdier than I assumed; it's made of thick white pvc-like plastic.

I bought one like this several years ago. My pantry has a deep cabinet and only two shelves, so buying several more has really improved the way my canned goods and other items are stored in it now. Can easily see what I've got!

I saw a professional organizer use this product when organizing a kitchen. This expand a shelf is fantastic. With a large family I always stock up when there's a good sale. Expand a Shelf makes it a snap to organize and stock up at the same time.

All of us are thrilled with the before and after. I will be getting more of these for the other shelves.

A great product!

Wish the listing provided info on the size of the item. Another picture (side view) wouldn't hurt either. As it is, I can't buy it because I have no idea how big/small it is, or whether it would meet my needs. Pictures of items like this would also benefit from having something else (of a standard/common size)in the photo to give a frame of reference, like a can of soda, an apple or even a ream of paper.

Rev-A-Shelf 5WB1-0918-CR 9" Single Pull-Out Chrome Wire Basket (18" Slides) - Wire-Chrome

Rev-A-Shelf 5WB1-0918-CR 9' Single Pull-Out Chrome Wire Basket - Wire-ChromeI have a very narrow cabinet and found it hard to get things in the back, but this shelf pulls out and I can get to everything. It's also very sturdy. I like the chrome.

I bought these pull outs after not being able to find them at home deopt or lowes. I could not get the right size and was soo glad in the end. The pull outs are 100% quality. My husband was even suprised when they arrived and actually complimented the hardware and so on. I would recommend this product to anyone who is in need of kitchen slide outs. You will not be dissapointed. (easy installation took my husband about 5 mintes per drawer)

In our lower kitchen cabinet, we have a tall cutting board cabinet. It had a 3/4" vertical wood divider that made its use inefficient as we kept cutting boards on one side of the divider and foil, zip lock bags, etc. on the other all crammed in so we could only use what we could see in front of the cabinet, or what fell out when the door was opened. And we had more cutting boards and trays than would fit in only half the cabinet.

After removing the wood divider, I purchased a rev-a-shelf cutting board slider and installed it on the bottom of the cabinet. Then I installed this pull-out shelf above the tallest cutting board and we now have plenty of storage for all our cutting boards and all the food storage wrap and stuff.

These were easy to figure out how I wanted to install them after I made sure I had measured the cabinet to order the right size units.

As we have a lot of stainless steel appliances, it was nice to get stainless steel pullouts instead of appliance white pullouts.

This is a great product for storing all sorts of things, such as canned goods, small pots, lids for pots. I love the fact that I am able to pull it out & see things at a glance.

Want Rev-A-Shelf 5WB1-0918-CR 9" Single Pull-Out Chrome Wire Basket (18" Slides) - Wire-Chrome Discount?

I have made multiple purchases of these Rev-A-Shelf pull-out baskets,( and a few other, but similar brands), both the single as well as the double level models. I have installed 4 in the kitchen, 2 in the master bath and one each in the guest bathrooms. The Single pull-outs are a breeze to install though the double (lower and upper level pull-outs that allow each level to pull out separately)can prove a bit more difficult to install, especially if the cabinet opening is narrow. However, I think anyone with a drill, marker, and a screwdriver can install them with a minimum of DIY abilities. There is a video, I believe, that suggests they can be installed much faster than I found the case to be. Nevertheless, I had minimal difficulty after figuring out installation of the first one. Fortunately, my wife LOVES them. They are beautifully well made with attractive stainless steel and chrome and have allowed us to not only organize and retrieve items with ease (no more bending over or lifting heavy pans and Pyrex to get at the biggest ones which are always under a pile of lighter pans, nor getting down so as to reach into the back of the cabinet for hard-to-reach items. Also, we discovered that what used to require two cabinets for storage now requires only one cabinet.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the cost. I did this reluctantly because cheaper ones I found at the local hardware stores are available and cost was a concern, but they do not look nearly as nice nor are they available in as many different sizes. For us, the appearance, quality and dealer we dealt with were more than worth the cost, though you may feel differently. Certainly, they are not cheap, but every one of our family and friends who have seen ours now want ones of their own. I would not hesitate to recommend them or the seller, especially if you have any difficulties bending down, finding enough storage, etc. My wife is handicapped, so for us it was a no-brainer, but I would have gotten them regardless.

Walnut Five-tier Leaning Ladder Book Shelf

Walnut Five-tier Leaning Ladder Book Shelf
  • Stay organized and display your treasures in style with a chic shelf
  • Shelf features five tiers
  • Beadboard style shelves
  • Solid wood in walnut brown finish
  • Assembly Required

This book shelf is great. It's such a great price for what you get. I got the dark finish and it matches my "espresso" furniture well. Very easy to put together. It says you need two people to do it but I'm 5' and I did it by myself no issues. I don't plan on putting a lot of heavy stuff on it but it feels sturdy and the extra leg in the back (which is well hidden) adds an extra comfort to its structure. Would definately recomend to a friend.

This is very easy to put together, and it's well-constructed. I was a little leery of the shelves being unstable because they are only attached by a single screw on each side, but they behave like they're supposed to.

The wood is nice with a solid finish. I have purchased pieces similar to this in the past, and the wood is mostly reclaimed, beat-up looking stuff with patchy stain/finish. Not true here. Very happy with this.

This unit was just what I was looking for! Fairly easy to put together and holds a good amount of stuff.

The bookcase is nice looking, nice wood , good shelf depth, but is not stable. The connection between the top and bottom did not fit tightly, the under bottom wood stabilizer piece is fragile and broke off ( really needs another system), without this the bottom shelf leans backwards. It comes with two strips of cloth to anchor into the wall to keep it from falling over... all I can imagine is that it slips downward and there goes a piece of my wall.

Colour and size matched description. It was easy to put together I did it alone. Several of the railings on the shelves were loose however easy to fix. Like the look and happy with the purchase.

Solid Wood TV Console with Drawers

Solid Wood TV Console with DrawersI bought this item based off reviews I read online. Thank you all who wrote reviews before me. It made a difference in my decision. They were right it is darker than it appears and has a red tint to it, similar to a cherry or mahogany look. The top is a very heavy, solid piece of wood almost 2" thick. Now I will saw that they made it seem that it was easy to put together, and perhaps it is for those who are handy. For my husband and I, it took us about 3 hours to do. The hinges were a little quirky, but the whole piece is just perfect. For those who are looking for a media console that will fit all your individual components, this is it. I was considering the smaller, similar 48" piece for my 46" TV, but I have to say, I'm glad we bought the larger 60" with the extra center section. It is a really pretty piece of furniture. I would highly suggest it. I also agree with another reviewer who said they packaged it well we had no dents or issues with dents in it. It was securely cushioned and nothing was damaged. I would highly recommend it.

Elegant Home Fashions Stratford Collection Framed Mirror with Shelf, White

Elegant Home Fashions Stratford Collection Framed Mirror with Shelf, WhiteLike reviewer Triana, I bought this mirror for use in a very small bathroom. In some ways, it is quite nice. The frame is solidly assembled and all the joints are tight. The finish is generally good, though certainly not of fine-furniture quality. There is some evidence of uneven finish sanding, for example, and the sheen on the paint is uneven in places. I'm not sure the finish will tolerate bumps without chipping.

The mirror, itself, is made of very thin glass. Of greater significance, the item that I received had the mirror mounted a little high in the frame so that the cut edge was clearly visible at the bottom. A bit of disassembly and adjustment fixed that problem. I saw no evidence that it had slipped during shipping; I suspect it was just hastily assembled. The packaging was substantial.

In short, this is an inexpensive mirror that offers reasonably good value for money. If you view your own furnishings with a very critical eye or worry that others may do so, you may not find the build quality acceptable. For most of us, a week after it goes up we won't even notice the little defects.

I am so in love with the frame for this mirror, but the mirror is so badly warped that it makes you dizzy! A previous reviewer had the same problem. I just bought a new home, and checked the mirror for damage when it arrived, but I didn't actually hang the mirror until later when I noticed the distortion problem and it was too late to return. I'm hoping I can just get the mirror piece replaced at a glass shop because the rest of it is actually solidly built and similar to that 'high end store' mirror, but much less expensive. Great in a small half bath, definitely not big enough for a full bathroom.

This is a nice, solidly built mirror with decorative shelf. The style is very sharp looking and really adds a rich yet warm touch to the room. I have another wall mirror similar to this one but it is not as nice as this one and cost almost as much.

This is well worth the money and I highly recommend.

I ordered this mirror to go into a very small powder room. It is a perfect size and looks more expensive than it actually was. I'm very pleased with it.

The quality of this product was great except for the mirror itself, it is like looking into a fun house mirror. That was my only disappointment.

Umbra Zen Towel Hook

Umbra Zen Die-Cast Metal Single Towel Hook, NickelThe main problem I see with this hook is that two pieces (since it's the type of hook that hides the screws) are connected at the BOTTOM. Therefore, the outside piece (the part you can see) of the hook is not even touching the wall at the top because it's falling off the wall. I have screwed everything in as tight as I could and this is still an issue. Part of the problem may be that the towel I hang on the wall is heavy but I still feel like this hook is poorly designed. I now hang something lighter on it but the damage is already done and the hook is permanently looking like it's going to fall of the wall. Now I have two giant holes in the wall and I need to either get a new hook that completely covers up the damage or just forget it altogether and hang a picture or something up in it's place.

This hook was exactly what I needed in my bathroom, but discovered the anchor hardware it came with was not sturdy enough to keep it flush to the wall. It made a great difference once I went to the hardware store and bought a box of my own anchors for $2. I reset the hook with the new anchors and all was good!

Purchased this for our newly renovated bathroom, for the towel by the sink. I wish I'd gotten the ring towel holder for a few more dollars because this one is so small, it is completely covered by the towel. It looks nice and works fine, but I wish I could see it more often!

We ordered several of the "Zen" bath accessories for our new master bath. We were looking for something that was a little different than the usual stuff that you find at Hope Depot. They hooks are especially attractive and hold bath towels really well. I actually wish that we had not gotten towel rings for the handtowels, but had used the these hook instead.

This looks good but was a little tricky to put up. The little screw you have to use an (included) allen wrench on was tricky to get in. Made my hand cramp up.

5-Shelf ValueMate Economy Bookcase

Safco Products 5-Shelf ValueMate Economy BookcaseFirst, this "Oak" bookcase is metal NOT wood in case you didn't read all the details. And rather flimsy metal at that. Some of it is bendable by hand and in fact I had to do so for several pieces in order to get things to fit together properly. Also the "Shelf Adjustablity: 1" increments" is a bit misleading. 3 of the shelves can be attached in 1" increments in a rather narrow 4" range, NOT for the entire bookcase and, once you attach them, you won't want to move them because it takes 4 screws and is a pain in the rearend to attach in the first place. Also, there is only one place to position the 2nd from the top shelf. That is about 26" from the top where there is a ledge from connecting the side panels together. That shelf just sits on the ledge and is not adjustable and is not screwed in. Be sure to attach the back panels before attaching the bottom and the rest of the shelves. You NEED the back panels to make the bookcase stable. Attaching the shelves is a REAL pain. Trying to align the holes properly wasn't easy and took quite awhile. I ended up having to use a mirror and flashlight in order to align and attach the front part of the shelves. Since you MUST attach the back panels before attaching the shelves, it's like working upside down and backwards trying to attache the front part of the shelves. Again, make sure you place the shelves where you need them because you won't want to try and reposition them later. I would also note that when screwing in the sheles there were 3 distinct feelings in doing so. At first, it they were a bit hard to screw, then it became very easy and finally it became a bit harder again until you couldn't turn the screw anymore.

Tool-wise they say you need a phillips screwdriver and a small hammer or mallet. I also needed a mirror and flashlight.

Overall, I would NOT recommend this bookcase, if for no other reason than that they are HARD to assemble. It looks OK fully assembled but still doesn't seem totally stable. They say, "Generous 12" deep shelves accommodate 3-ring binders and large publications." but I'm not sure yet if the shelves can really handle that load.
