Akro-Mils 30778 Economy Stacking Nesting Plastic Storage Bin, 17-7/8-Inch Long by 8-3/8-Inch Wide b

Akro-Mils 30778 Economy Stacking Nesting Plastic Storage Bin, 17-7/8-Inch Long by 8-3/8-Inch Wide by 7-Inch High, Black, Case of 8These work great. All the guys were thrilled with how well do they exactly what we needed. In fact we are planning on ordering more.

I needed something to separate lids and plastic bowls in plus found several other uses for these bins. I will soon be getting new cabinets and will not need them but have already made plans on other places in my home that they will be useful! I love it when an item just keeps on giving...

Avista Sovereign TV Stand

Avista Sovereign TV StandEasy to assemble,looks great,and well made!I feel this was an excellent product for my 50" tv.I would recommend it to anyone.

Actually I love the stand. It arrive well packaged and on time. The only problem is that there was a small scratched place on the very front corner on the bottom shelf. Because I really like the stand and it would be difficult to try to return it, I used some colored pencils made to cover furniture scratches. It covers pretty well. If not for the scratch, I would have given the stand 5 stars.

"Sunburst" Design Wrought Iron Style 4 Tier Corner Stand / Shelf

'Sunburst' Design Wrought Iron Style 4 Tier Corner Stand / ShelfOrdered the wrought iron sunburst corner shelf as a Christmas present for my mother. I was cutting it close but the company did a great job of getting it here a day earlier than expected! The packaging was in extremely rough shape, but the product was just fine. Though the shelves looked as expected I have to admit that the quality of the item was not as I anticipated. The item is actually not wrought iron, but is a wrought iron "design", actually made of aluminum or something similar. I was lucky and got the item for 45 dollars on sale, plus shipping, so still a very nice item for that price. However, the item is marked online with a "list" price of $391 which I find absolutely laughable. I see that the shelf is currently listed for $217 which is still extremely high. This item is worth $85 to $100 dollars maximum in my opinion. But as it is, considering the price I got, it was a good buy and I'm very happy.

Compared to similar corner stands / shelves that I priced, the price was excellent, even with the hefty shipping cost. It is heavy so shipping isn't cheap. It's very generously sized, providing 4 shelves with lots of storage space. I liked it so much, I just order a second shelf for the other corner of my living room.

Shipping took a bit long, but it was a heavy product. It looks so beautiful sitting in the corner of my stairwell. It does take the usual cussing to put together, but once done, fantastic. Looking for matching pieces! Overall, this was a great purchase.

InterDesign York Lyra Under Shelf Basket, Bronze

InterDesign York Lyra Under Shelf Basket, BronzeYou would be surprised how many pockets of empty storage space one can find around the house. I just purchased one of these and I wish I had bought two. The handles are longer than the others (I have a couple of the shorter arm types in my linen closet). The longer handles make this much sturdier and overall a superior quality product. The bronze color lets it blend in more with the surroundings. It's a little more expensive, but worth the price.

This is a very good basket. I use it to store all my college books next to my bed. It is pretty heavy-duty too, and of a decent size. All-in-all, great product.

I bought two of these and absolutely love them. They are fairly sturdy, just don't load them up too much or they will sag a little. They fit my shelves and look great. A must-have for a dorm room. I store my snacks in one and my camera/phone chargers and cords in another. I highly recommend this product. And, it shipped the same week.

I was looking for something that would add additional space in between my freezer shelves and still allows the cold air to circulate. This fits perfectly under the freezer shelve and gives me a much organized space.

I have three of these now one holds paper plates, over my regular dinner ware. A second holds a set of 4 Anchor Hocking mixing bowls and a third holds two 8 x 8 pyrex baking dishes, the item I use more than anything. So much easier not to have to pull items from under a pile, and makes good use of the space I had because of shelves spaced too far apart.

Whitmor 6058-90 Supreme Garment Rack, Chrome

Whitmor 6058-90 Supreme Garment Rack, ChromeI bought this rack to hold my clothes during a move from one state to another. Included in this purchase was the advertised canvas cover.

The rack is made of sturdy materials and survived the trip in a UHaul truck without incident. It rolls fine when loaded to the gills and the bottom rack was useful for shoes.

With the cover on, the top rack is pretty much useless for storage because the cover slides down and rest on that rack. Any items you want to store on top would be resting on the cover itself.

One thing to be aware of: The rack is held together only by friction and gravity. The two racks slip over the four poles and are held in place only by their weight; no screws or bolts secure them.

This means that the unit cannot be lifted by the racks, otherwise, the entire thing falls apart. They can be safely lifted by the poles and this will keep everything together. While this design sounds flimsy, it really is pretty strong once assembled correctly.

The only reason I did not give this item 5 stars was because of the poorly written instructions. As usual, these were written by blind individuals who speak no known language. Consequently, you are left to figure out how the parts assemble correctly. Even a simple thing such as which way the racks fit; with their edges up or down? The picture certainly doesn't make that clear. This is crucial because the corner tubes of the rack are tapered slightly (not obvious at first glance) which locks the unit together.

REMEMBER THIS: the plastic inserts that fit into the four corners of the racks are also tapered tubes; their sides are NOT parallel. It is this taper that allows the racks to compress against the four poles and lock the pieces in place. This important fact was overlooked in my set of instructions, but is perhaps the most important point to understand.

The cover, also well made but with one major cost-cutting flaw. It uses buttons to secure the front opening instead of a zipper. Consequently, it's not dust proof since it hangs open between the widely spaced buttons.

This garment rack costs a little more than most. However, it is worth it. The full rectangular shape adds extra sturdiness.

A few notes that may save others' time:

1. It definitely takes two people to put this rack together.

2. Instructions are somewhat lacking with respect to the plastic fasteners: they fail to point out that on each fastener there is a "top". Once you realize that the top is slightly wider than the bottom two pieces, the work goes smoothly.

Because the instructions were not clear I had to call customer service which turned out to be a most helpful and painless experience!

ROLLING SUPREME GARMENT RACK WITH TOP SHELF Very pleased with this garment rack. Delivery was quick. It takes a about 20 minutes to put together and is very sturdy. Bottom shelf can be set to desired height.

This rack is easy to assemble and very sturdy. I thought I might have to put an X support on the ends, but it's fine without it. I'm using it for photography costumes and props. It holds a LOT! Be sure to get the cover too. It helps to keep things clean.

I have a few smaller Whitmor chrome racks in the basement that have held up and served their purpose well so when I purchased the garment rack I knew that I could trust the name. If you feel that this rack is a bit expensive, I'd say that the extra price is justified. They seem to make quality products.

The rack is about 3 feet wide and just under 6 feet tall. The two shelves appear to support a good deal of weight I've put 50 pounds on each without seeing much bowing. It does wobble a bit when pushed but it's nothing I'm concerned about. When filled with clothes it's sturdy and rolls well.

If you're putting this together yourself, it will be a bit tricky. The poles are just under 6 feet tall and you've got to somehow balance all four of them while sliding the shelves down each one if you follow the provided directions. I discovered a couple things while assembling it that might help if you're going to attempt it yourself:

1. Keep in mind (I didn't realize this and the directions were a bit foggy) that the black plastic clips that attach to the 4 poles have to go on in a certain direction. Each clip is labeled with a "TOP" to aim towards the sky. That will make sliding the shelves on them less of a struggle.

2. Likewise, the shelves themselves also have a top and bottom, something the directions also didn't make clear. The lip of the shelf must face DOWN for the shelf to slide on to the clips the best. I figured the lip went up, and found myself wanting to hammer the shelf on to the clips. Flipping the shelf around and sliding it on to the clips with the lip down made life much easier.

3. Each pole is two pieces that are screwed together in step one to make four long poles. Putting this together myself, I found that skipping this step and putting the bottom shelf on the smaller four poles and THEN creating the longer poles by screwing them together made assembly much easier for one person.

Overall this is a great solution for overflow from any closet.

Zenith Studio Accents Linen Tower, Chrome

Zenith Studio Accents Linen Tower, ChromeASIN B000MF5ZA8 This set of shelves is great, but the misleading info on the listing earns it the removal of a star.

First, it arrived it a remarkably heavy package. The tempered glass shelves weigh more than the rest of the item put together. The package was not marked FRAGILE or marked in any way to indicate that there was glass inside. The shelves were carefully wrapped together; the only negative is that they were all packed together, putting all of the weight on one end of the box. More even weight-distribution would be a good idea.

The instructions are simple and, since most of what you have to do is repeat the same series of steps over and over, they're easy to follow. No tools are necessary, a huge bonus for those who don't own tools or use them with any skill. The result is an attractive and fairly sturdy set of shelves.

The deception is in this claim, from the item's product description: "High polished chrome". While there IS some chrome involved, a majority of what looks like chrome is really pretty, shiny plastic. I don't mind pretty, shiny plastic I MIND being deceived.

I'm very please with this shelving unit. I had a small space and needed shelving in my kitchen for my pots & pans. The unit was very easy to assemble the assembly instructions were specific and had diagrams to support assembly. The unit is beautiful and my pots & pans look wondeful on it. The unit makes a very high-tech statement in my kitchen.

A real pain to put together when you are phisically challanged! I did not expect it to come in a thousand pieces! Now if it holds up and stays together will be interesting. Top 4 cap pieces did not line up properly.

I would never buy another one unless it was for my worst enemy.
