Whitmor 4 Storage Cubes

Whitmor 6071-1723 Four Storage Cubes, WhiteThese grids are amazing as rabbit cages (or guinea pigs, etc.). You can make large indoor areas for your rabbits and it is flexible so it can fit into probably any home. I have my 2 rabbits in a pen make from these grids and they love it. It was cheap and larger than anything from a petstore. I am looking to get more as I get ready to purchase a baby FLEMISH GIANT!

This all being said I will note that the plastic connectors aren't worth the time people put into making them! You have to get those plastic cable ties to put them together and then everything works GREAT!

I am an artist & comic book creator who goes to different conventions throughout the year. I bought these cubes because I saw other exhibitors using them for shelving and displays on their tables, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They pack flat and are relatively easy to put together (you need to push the flat pieces firmly into the connectors until you hear a popping sound), and are pretty sturdy once put together. I've used them for adding level shelves to the top of my table, as well as for a stand to hold up a banner behind the table. My only issue with them is that they are somewhat heavy, so they add a lot when stuffed in a suitcase for flying; something to consider for those without enough stuff to ship to a convention ahead of time. I can also see how they wouldn't be the best choice for someone who is looking for a permanent furniture fixture, even if it's just for the length of a year in a dorm (the only reason I gave it 4 stars, since that's it's advertised purpose). But for instances where you want quick set-up and tear down for conventions and trade shows, they are a god-send and extremely flexible in display and function.

I have these cubes in my closet and I like them. It's nice that they disassemble and store flat for moving. I did find that although they do go together with the connectors, I used those plastic zip ties to reinforce the junctions. I don't know if I'd store books like the previous reviewer did, but for most standard closet junk they work just fine. I've never had them fall apart and I've stuffed them with clothing, shoes, boots, and towels. Easy to configure them to fit your space too I have some unconventional vertical spaces that I squeezed them into and they work just fine.

These grids are great for easy assembly guinea pig cages. Forget about the tiny ones marked "large" in the pet stores. Guinea pigs need room to run and play and jump (popcorn). To find out more about building your own just google C & C guinea pig cages. For a base most people use coroplasta sheet of corrugated plastic bought from a sign shop. If you google making a C & C cage you'll find instructionit is easy.

The cheapest grids like these I have found are at Bed Bath and Beyond. They send out 20% off coupons regularly and with that discount the grids cost about $16 for a box. It's wise to buy cable tieszip ties too because the connectors that come with these do not always hold together in the way you want. You can also attach ramps with cable ties very easily.

We use a fleece bedding system and the guinea pigs are litter box trained so it all stays quite clean and manageable. People have different preferences. My choice is to buy reusable cloth waterproof hospital mattress pads from an on line hospital supply company as my bottom layer. This layer is very absobant. The layer on topis fleece. You can find fleece blankets at places like Savers very cheap or buy yardage from a fabric store.

If you buy a large enough piece after you lay down your mattress pad layer on top of your coroplast cage bottom (which is surrounded on the outside by the fence of these grids) and actually tuck it over and under. This way the guinea pigs will not burrow. I'd suggest getting enough grids to make a 2 x 4 or 5 grid cageno bottom or top are needed if placed on the floor or a very large table.

Even better is to use more grids and connectors/ cable ties to make a bottom and base for storage underneath. This raises the cage off the floor and brings it to a great height securely. You can find lots of examples online.

For 1-2 guinea pigs you'll need to make a 4 or 5 grid by 2 grid cage. For 3 or 4 pigs you'll want at least 5 or 6 grids long by 2. I suggest not going wider than 2 grids so you can catch you guinea pigs easily and also for ease in cleaning and maintaining the cage.

Ramps and lofts/ upper levels are tempting (changing the cage around and adding additions is fun) and can be nice if you have a big enough cage, but they actually make it harder to maintain and most guinea pigs stay below most of the time and the ramps take away from their lower level floor space.

We bought these to build up our rabbit's cage and to bunny proof the house. The connectors hold together wonderfully. Easy to put up and take down. These things are very handy and sturdy.

P'kolino Furniture Kube Drawer - White

P'kolino Furniture Kube Drawer - WhiteStrangely, this item is in the "toy" category. While this item seems to be a great design on paper, it leaves much to be desired in person. The rollers on the drawer are absolutely terrible and don't roll well on carpet or hard wood floor. If they were on hard wood, which ours is not, it would be surely scratching the floor. The drawer does not open with ease...very awkward way of opening actually. The materials are IKEA grade, the connector disc is a very weak connector, leaving the tower of cubes very unstable and potentially dangerous. Our item was missing a couple of hardware pieces and half of the holes that were already supposed to be there, were not there and we had to drill them in ourselves. Now that I have purchased a few for my nursery, I am sort of stuck with them. I had high hopes for these, but now I wish I had purchased a more expensive shelf such the Spot on Square Hiya Bookshelf, which is pricier, but way sturdier and much better quality.

Edsal CB721836 Textured Silver and Black Steel Modular Workspace Storage System Cabinet, 4 Adjustab

Edsal CB721836 Textured Silver and Black Steel Modular Workspace Storage System Cabinet, 4 Adjustable Shelves, 72' Height x 36' Width x 18' Depth
  • Steel cabinet with four adjustable shelves and a 150 lb. per shelf capacity suitable for storage
  • Two hinged doors with full-length stiffeners for strength and a locking handle for security
  • Three-point locking system with a door latch and two vertical rods to hold the top and bottom of the door shut for security
  • Silver and black textured powder coat finish resists dirt, chipping, and corrosion
  • Assembly required, instructions included, tools for assembly sold separately

So we ordered one for the office. It was never delivered and the status was the UPS had returned it to the shipper because it was damaged in transit. I called amazon, they sent out a replacement but almost a week later, there was no shipping information, so I called Amazon and they were unsure of where it was, so they sent another which arrived damaged.

I did the best i could rebending all the metal pieces and we pried it together, dents in the doors and all.

That aside, had it been delivered in perfect shape, it would still only get 2 stars. There are visible round dents on the outside of the door, that appears to be caused from manufacturing. It was also really tough to put together, and for a heavy metal cabinet it manages to feel flimsy.

Very good product. Exactly as advertised, easy to assemble. Wished the base was a little sturdier, but no real problem. I would recommend to others who need storage.

This unit arrived in very poor shape. The panels were all dented and dinged and had to bend everything back in place just to fit it together. Not very secure once assembled either. The lock is flimsy and you could easily pry open the door with just your bare hands.

I have never received anything from Amazon as bad as this cabinet! The box it came in was beat up so I don't know why I expected anything better on the inside. This item consists on many pieces that must be bolted together. Every piece I took out of the box was bent in some way. In the middle of the box the doors had dents in them. There is no way the dents could have been caused by shipping in the middle of the box...they were dented before they were packed!

Don't buy this! You will be disappointed and will end up sending it back.

BRONZE deluxe tension POLE BATH SHOWER 4-Tiered corner basket CADDY

BRONZE deluxe tension POLE BATH SHOWER 4-Tiered corner basket CADDYPlease be aware when purchasing items from this company, they do not honor their own return policy as stated on their product packaging. My shower caddy rusted within a week after purchasing it, despite a rust proof guarantee. The packaging states: "In case of customer dissatisfaction, return this product, along with the original sales receipt, to the factory. Consumer will be refunded for the return postage and may choose either a no charge replacement or a refund of the original purchase price." And when I requested a refund, I was told that their return policy has now changed, regardless of what was written on my product's packaging.

*I just want consumers out there to be aware of my personal experience with this company, and hopefully it will be of use in their decision-making process.

Well, after another 7 months this caddy rusted as well. Guess I am back to buying the cheap plastic ones that don't rust . . .

This was my original post sorry it didn't hold up I thought after 6 months we were good -

This is the first shower caddy that we have had that actually doesn't rust (except the cheap plastic ones). We had purchased a ~$90 one that had a lifetime rust-free warranty and still rusted after about 2 months. We have had this bronze caddy for ~6 months now and it has been great no rust, looks great, and functions nicely. I just bought 2 more for the other bathrooms.

ClosetMaid 622200 White Hanging Basket

ClosetMaid 622200 White Hanging Basket
  • 1 EACH

If you have the typical white wire closet shelving systems then these are great to fill in the vertical gaps you may have. I bought 3. I hung one on the single shelf over my washer and drier and placed my dryer sheets, stain removers where they are easier to grab. The other 2 are hanging in my closet, one attached to the other to fill in the empty space below a shelf. My scarf are nice and organized now.

5 Shelf Bookcase Black Wood Finish

5 Shelf Bookcase Black Wood Finishi bought this bookcase at Wal-Mart for only 30 dollars. Very easy assembly and sturdy construction. The wood looks good and its pretty big, its about 6 feet.

This shelf is not safe to use as a bookcase. Once fully assembled, following the instructions, it is flimsy at best under load. I filled the bookcase with books and immediately noticed the shelves starting to sag.

Today I tried to move the case up so I could sweep and it almost collapsed onto itself. Would not recommend this product to anyone with children as it, in my opinion, would cause danger to small curious children. Save your money for a few weeks and buy a usable piece of furniture.

The book shelf is great. The product does not come

assembled so you have to assemble the shelf yourself.

There is basically two parts that you will assemble

and combine to get a five shelf bookcase.

You can decide for yourself whether you want

a five shelf bookcase or three shelf bookcase.

The back is made of card board paper not wood.

Before you buy this from Amazon... take a look at your local Wal*Mart and you'll probably save $90. I bought two of these for $60 in September 2007 and almost three years later (July 2010) they are still standing strong. They haven't been moved since I placed them in my home office so that probably has contributed to their excellent condition. Regardless, each shelf has held a variety of books, collectibles, DVDs and CDs and after nearly three years, none of them have begun to bow. I later bought two more for my living room because of their excellent quality. They do not look cheap at all!

Very easy to assemble, but I would recommend having a battery operated or electric drill to save time.

I used Mainstays shelves (exclusively!) while attending graduate school. I had a shorter version of this product collapse on me twice. Why? Because the backing tends to separate from the top and sides, causing the sides to waver, which then leads to the shelves sliding off the little metal supports underneath them. I would urge you to do as I did, especially with this size bookshelf: take the measurements to Lowes and tell them you want the most rigid, lightweight wood they have for your purposes (bookshelf). Ask them to drill increments of holes (unless you have a drill) for nails or wood screws (I used large screws but you can ask them which kind they would suggest; make sure to buy enough of those). Shouldn't cost more than a few dollars, total. Finally, go home and assemble the thing without the factory backboard, and put your custom backboard on.

Also, expect the shelves to bow. But it's a tall, deep bookshelf that will last forever. And it's cheap.

  • Molded-in customizable fittings. This is a raised handle Cart
  • High density structural resin construction
  • Easy-access bottom shelf; best-in-class casters to meet the most demanding environments

The Rubbermaid Heavy Duty Utility Cart is exactly what we needed for use in our shop production area. These carts have held up well for over 3 years of almost daily use and have never shown any signs of wear. We have two of these (one in beige, and one in grey), one for moving up to four 50lb containers from the shipping area and one for moving finished goods to the front of the store.

We work with messy materials that do occasionally leak and these carts are very easy to clean up. I also like how easy these carts are to maneuver down our narrow aisles, even under very heavy load.

It pays to invest in a quality product! Highly Recommended!

I first saw carts like this at the assembley plant where I work, and was impressed with their construction and light weight. After closely examining several, I decided to buy one for my art studio. I keep my paints on top and various other supplies on the bottom, and it's everything I want it to be: light,strong and easy to move. The three inch lip keeps me from knocking any paints over onto the floor and nothing rolls off when I move it. It's just the right hieght for me when I'm standing at my easel affording me easy access to whatever I need. For me, it fits the bill nicely and I'm totally satisfied with it.

It went together easily, is very sturdy, stable and rolls nicely on a carpeted or hard floor.

Well designed with small compartments near the handle that come in very handy.

From bitter experience it turns out that the lower tray will contain spilled fluid (a gallon or so).
