Pegasus 20720 1796H Estates Collection Glass Shelf, Heritage Bronze

Pegasus 20720 1796H Estates Collection Glass Shelf, Heritage BronzeI had my contractor install this as well as the rest of the Pegasus Estates collection fixtures in my new powder room. I love the way it looks. The shelf is a very elegant upgrade from the aged stainless steel one we used to have.

At first, the glass shelf rocked back and forth a lot and I was pretty unhappy with its instability. I was going about looking for little buttons or something to stabilize it. This was assuming that my contractor installed it correctly. Just on a whim, I decided to tighten the knobs even further. More stable, less rocking. Huh. I kept doing it, even past the point where you could almost hear the glass squeaking from the pressure, but there are cushions built in, so you have a lot of leeway before you crack the glass.

Finally, the shelf is steady, super strong, and as gorgeous as the rest of the new bathroom.

Love it. And the price is incredibly reasonable for a glass bath shelf in bronze.

Winsome Wood Verona Wood 5 Tier Open Cabinet with 4 Beige Folding Fabric Baskets

Winsome Wood Verona Wood 5 Tier Open Cabinet with 4 Beige Folding Fabric BasketsThis is a good quality, sturdy piece of furniture. The assembly wasn't too bad and the coloring is beautiful. It will fit easily behind doors where most other shelves won't.

I had been looking everywhere for some kind of storage unit with 4 bins one for everyone in the family's mittens and hats. This one fits the bill perfectly and is real wood. It is sturdy, looks nice and has plenty of room in the bins. My only complaint is that it was kind of difficult for one person to put together and I'm an expert with IKEA furniture!!! After some struggle, it went together fine and looks better than other units that were $150 or more.

UpperSpace Adjustable Shelf

UpperSpace Adjustable ShelfWell made and a great design. Easy to install. The plastic is of a higher quality than expected. After we installed the shelf, we were organizing our spices onto the rack and found multiple containers of the same spice because our cupboard was such a mess. This will save us making a trip to the grocery store to buy a spice we already have, but couldn't find.

This shelf was easy to install and is surprisingly sturdy. It is about 2 inches wide, which is about right for small jars like spices or baby food. It took me a couple minutes to set up using the existing shelf holes in my kitchen cabinets.

They show a bracket supporting the center of the shelf in the instructions, but I found this was not needed for my 15-inch wide cabinets. The shelf did not sag even with some fairly heavy jars.

I installed this shelf in about 5 minutes in a kitchen cabinet we use for medications. I was able to combine 3 unorganized cabinets in to 2 (just lower shelves). I could put all the shorter items up, and that left space for all the first aid items I had in another cabinet. The items are easier to find and keep organized.

I have had my upperspace shelf for over 6 months now and love it. It is sturdy and super easy to use. It has added another shelf to my cabinet and I can actually see all the names on my spices now....especially the smaller ones that I don't use often and would forget that I had on hand!

Axis Over the Cabinet X5 Basket

Axis Over the Cabinet X5 BasketI'm a renter and anything that helps me keep my kitchen organized without drilling holes in my landlord's cabnets is a hit. Plus they are well made and look nice (as nice as anything can look inside a cabnet.)

I've been using them to hold my tupperware lids. Eventually I plan to get a couple more for my overflowing container collection.

i like this very much except for one drawback. had it been hanging lower than it actually is, with longer handles, it would have fit my bigger ziplock bags.. now it only fits the smaller ones...

I was planning on using this in the cupboard under the sink, along with the matching trash basket. Well, the baskets (all of them) are too high up (too close to the hooks) to be able to fit. Not sure where the makers intended this to be used, but none of them can be used in a sink-cupborad. BIG let-down.

I bought it to my bathroom because the bathtub has very narrow edges and hence no space for lodging shampoo and conditioner bottles and the like. The bathtub has a small handrail, and that's exactly where I hung this basket. It is the perfect size for 1 liter shampoo and conditioner bottles, and there is extra space I can fill with other stuff. It is narrow enough so that it doesn't stand in the way while showering (I knew that beforehand because all the dimensions are reported by the seller).

Shipping was superfast, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Two Level Bookcase with Metal Legs in Black Finish

Two Level Bookcase with Metal Legs in Black FinishThe item; comprised of loosely compressed fiber board. The finish is aken to the durability of a black plastic trash bag. Now...if your still want to purchase this item you had better want it. I received mine damaged. The construction made it impossible to make due with. No foundation by which to mend. AMAZON.COM does not stand by return policy. My claim was denied. Can't imagine under what curcumstances a claim is valid if not a damaged purchase upon receipt. After the claim denial they no longer communicated with me. I am out of $260.00. I am not a Rockafella. Advice; "let the buyer beware."

I am pleased with the product but disappointed with the company.

The product is as described reasonable quality, easy to assemble, affordable and looks good.

The problems I experienced was with the company's response rate. While I received the item in a reasonable time, two major issues came up. The company failed to note that the product would arrive in two shipments and no packing slip was provided with the first shipment (therefore creating confusion after the first shipment arrived and made it necessary to follow up). Second issue was that a part was missing from the package. I contacted the company but they did not respond right away. When they did get back to me, it took three months to send the missing part very unreasonable delay.

Its rare that I'll type a product review on Amazon, but I felt compelled to help potential future purchasers who are on the fence. If you order this bookcase from the featured merchant, don't expect to get it right way. From order to front door took more than 2 weeks. However, as far as the bookcase is concerned, I am very happy. It was easy to put together (I did it myself in about 2 hours) and the instructions are very clear. Unlike other customer reviews that claimed it was missing materials or came in two shipments, I had no issues what-so-ever. I was very impressed that it was packed with care. However, a couple of pieces of the wood were nicked (but nothing a black marker couldn't resolve). As far as how it looks now that it is complete my headline says it all. It is a solid, nice looking piece of furniture and will work with any modern decor. One more thing that I was surprised that no other customer review noted it has silver accents in the black paint finish. You can not tell this by looking at the picture. For me, it looks great with my decor (actually I prefer it this way!), but for those who want a strictly black finish, be forewarned. Overall, I do recommend this bookcase!

Beautiful bookshelf, and relatively easy to assemble. It was delivered promptly, very heavily packaged to ensure no damage during the delivery stages. Great deal considering I've seen similar bookshelves for $500+.

The product is just as described, and looks great. I actually did not mount the feet; although they look great, I found the unit to be sturdier without the feet and have piece of mind that it won't topple over if a little crawler were to pull on it... (tip: I also put a piece of anti-slip cabinet/drawer liner under the unit... I'm a safety maniac). I had one piece that was damaged. Since the pieces are all well labeled with their part number, it was easy for me to let the company know which piece it was. I received a replacement piece promptly. Great product and vendor.

22" Wal Corner Shelf

22' Wal Corner Shelf
  • Creative Connectors #6000172 22" Wal Corner Shelf
  • CREATIVE CONNECTORS CORP

After a little trouble installing the first of four of these shelves, it got better and they are great. They look great, are sturdy and is much, much better than another set of bookshelves. We had a small corner where we wanted to install and run all of our cable boxes, dvd player, etc. This worked great because there is a small cutout in the back of each shelf that makes this perfect for just that. We couldn't be happier with our purchase. We installed in brick, which was a bit trickier, and you have to measure carefully, but good to go!

great simple shelf. strong and large enough to hold my blu-ray and satellite box. very simple install. i had a concern during install, called the number, and a real person answered the phone and helped me out. i had my questions answered immediately, and then i had the shelf installed in 10 minutes. you can't go wrong with this shelf. i would recommend to anyone. you do not have to be a master with tools to install it; the directions walk you through the process step by step.

I would give it 5 stars if it's of better quality for the price I paid. It came with some nicks before I even installed anything. But I'm going to keep it because I don't want to go thru the hassle of returning and all. Also, the color was walnut, it looks beautifully polished and the nicks were less noticeable. Though I'm afraid to put heavy things on it (not sure if it can hold 100 lbs as promised).

Want 22" Wal Corner Shelf Discount?

I bought this shelf along with the 16" and 12" shelves for my son's nursery. This shelf is huge! I needed at least one of the shelves to fit a small stereo that measured about 14" end to end. I was pretty sure the 16" one would suffice but wanted a set of 3 so bought the 22" as well. The stereo fit fine on the 16" and the 22" one I am using for books and I love it! All of his books fit on it and there's even room left for a few stuffed animals. The color is a deep chocolately brown (what I would describe as "Espresso"). The shelves were just as easy to install as the description claims which surprised me!. Use a level and preferably a second set of hands and you'll be all set! They really do look like they are floating in the corner of the room. My only complaint is that just installing them caused a few knicks and scratches. nothing all that noticeable and if I had installed them with someone else I may have been able to avoid causing them but nonetheless, they are not solid hardwood so be careful! Overall, very pleased!

I installed this myself in less than 30 minutes. It would definitely be easier with two people, so you have someone to help hold up the shelf for drawing lines, and also fo sliding it into the brackets. I'm short, and because of the location of installation I had to lift it above shoulder level. It is very heavy and sturdy. You have to be careful not to tighten the screws too tight or the wood brackets will split. These could have been made of metal to be more stable in the long run. I just hope it stays secure. I only plan to use it for decorative items, nothing very heavy like a t.v. or stereo. I like the open space at the back of the shelf that enables you to slide a power cord through so you can keep a lamp or other electronic equipment on the shelf. Overall this is a great shelf. and it's a nice way to able to use the corner spaces in my rooms.

2x4basics 90124 ShelfLinks Custom Storage System, Black - 6 Pack

2x4basics 90124 ShelfLinks Custom Storage System, Black - 6 PackI was skeptical at first plastic? You can't beat these for organizing your garage or basement. I built one set and will build 2 more. These brackets come as a six pack. I used 16 2x4's (4 per shelf x3, plus 4 uprights) to make a 6' tall by 8' wide set of shelves. So total, it ends up costing about $50 for a set of shelves ($2.50 for a 2x4).

I purchased a set of 2x4 basics as I needed shelving in my garage. The day they arrived I picked up 16 2x4x8's for about $2.00 each (I used four green treated ones because my garage often floods and used these for the uprights) The project was fairly easy and fun. I'm not what anyone would call a "handy" guy, but I built these in an afternoon and they are stong and now full of stuff. The directions aren't very useful, but it didn't matter because much of the process is self explanatory. My only warning is that the screws included are fairly worthless. I spun the heads off of about six of them before I gave up and used some I had bought at the store which worked much better. I recomend getting a package of decent 1" #10 wood screws. These added about $3.00 to my cost but probably saved me from having to replace my garage window after throwing my drill through it. All in all, I like the system and the product. Gonna build two more in my basement. Wish they came in larger packs at a discount.

I purchased these shelf-links to organize my garage. I used 3/4" plywood for the shelves, which turned out fantastic and added the "flatness" to the unit I wanted. They offer such a variety of set-ups they can be used in any way your imagination will allow. And I think they were a great product for the price.

To begin I only have irregular familiarity with carpentry and home improvement. My first big improvement goal in the house was to get the mess of stacked boxes in my garage organized and off the floor. Enter 2x4 basics: a solid product providing great function and versatility.

Application A hugely positive ability to do about any sort of design with this product can nearly be a drawback. By this I mean that the packaging instructions simply show where the screws mount into the ShelfLink (SL). Everything else is up to the end user. I bought two packs (for 12 total SLs) which allowed me to do four shelves eight feet high and across; 1 top shelf, 2 middle shelves and one "just off the ground" shelf. The shelf I used is eight feet long so there are three supports vice two for added rigidity.

Materials The SLs are lightweight and the resin feels like reliability, as odd as the phrase may sound. The included screws are strong and don't strip easily, a testament to further quality. Outside of the product itself, going with an eight feet tall, eight feet wide shelf allows the simple purchase of 2x4s. For this project I was able to justify buying a power saw and a rubber mallet.

Directions/Assembly The directions instruct you to make an appropriate amount of lower shelves and a top shelf. The lower shelves mount the SL on two lengths of "A", the uncut span of your intended shelf (eight feet in my case). The top shelf mounts the SL on four lengths of "A". I started with the top shelf first. The directions specify a 1/2 inch gap between the boards. Using the top shelf as a sort of template made the lower shelf assembly much easier.

There wasn't a sense of "The instructions say to do this"; more one of "If I do this what I'm making will more resemble the picture". The large graphic instructions don't provide printed instructions on how to go from step to step, rather indicating the process for where to screw what together. I managed by myself to wiggle the hefty spans on to the supports. Any design using a center support I would advise the help of a buddy to help shimmy the boards up the support.

2x4basics is quite clear that in a single shelf set up (one that is six feet across, not needing a center support as my eight feet shelf would) subtract 6 7/16" for the additional lower shelf 2x4s to fit snugly in place. The math to figure out what length I would need for my length "B" boards (the boards wedging between the supports) could have been simple. I won't know. Instead I measured the gap between slots (43.5") and cut my boards to that length; this length would not be snug enough and I would have to go out and cut up 44" lengths. If you are not using a mallet (with some force!) to put your length "B" boards in place do not expect a strong shelf. Without any formal training or engineering education I can only speculate that the pressure from a slightly longer board creates a torsional tension resulting in an extremely sturdy shelf. 2x4basics' instructions are clear that you should be whacking these boards into place.

Once I got the lower shelves aligned at the right height, screwing the remaining mounting points was just a matter of time. Before I really realized it I had a large organizational tool I had built myself in my garage.

All in all a great product for a DIY-er of any aptitude. The product design has great tolerances allowing for user error while still maintainin rock solid function. The use of 2x4s also allows the end user a choice in remaining materials cost.

This project cost $100 ($40 of SL, $60 of wood). Yes you can buy a steel shelf or the tupperware shelf for a bit less or the same. For what you do pay, though, you will not get as much space (about 85 cubic feet), custom design, or the simple satisfaction of creating something. I am very satisfied with the 2x4basics ShelfLinks System.

Ran out of boards after putting together the 2x4 basics work table. If you notice most shelves are supported by only 2 boards.

This came together pretty nicely easier than the work table.

The only math really involved here is subtracting the 6 7/16" (just do 6.5" works fine)

In hindsight I wish I had just gotten 8' length 2x4s because 8' is the "max" span you should go between braces.

I bought a bunch of 10 footers weeks before ordering this and now have a bunch of 2' stubs.

Next chance I'll get I'll go to the lumber yard for more wood to finish it.

Rubbermaid 5E10 FastTrack Utility Hook

Rubbermaid 5E10 FastTrack Utility HookOut of all the FastTrack hooks this one is my favorite. I use this one for all the garden tools, some power tools, halogen tripod light, brooms, rakes, elecric snow shovel...

We ordered the Rubbermaid Fast Track system for our garage, along with the Utility Hook and several other hooks. We now have all of the clutter off the floor and onto the wall where we can reach it. Fantastic!

I purchased this to hang the garden hose in the backyard. Installation was a breeze...though I was disappointed that the hook didn't come with screws.

The hook is well made and feels very solid. It doesn't feel like a cheap, flimsy piece of plastic. It can be used outdoors and it won't rust. For my application, it's perfect. I'll probably buy a couple of more to help organize some of my tools in the garage.
