Zenith Kemp E7523STBB Premium Over the Shower Caddy

Zenith Kemp E7523STBB Premium Over the Shower CaddyThis shower caddy is certainly the best I have ever seen. The joints are smooth and everything seems to be put together very well. I hope the stainless steel proves more resistant to rust than my previous caddy, which was chrome plated.

Good as it is, there are a couple of problems. If you have a detachable shower head with a hose (as I do), the arched rail across the top tier of this caddy gets in the way. I rerouted the hose through the caddy as a workaround, but to some extent a conflict remains. Also, the caddy came with two suction cups for stability. One of the cups works very well, while the other does not work at all. Don't know why there should be a difference, as both are on smooth tile surfaces and both look the same, but there it is.

Follow-up. After six months of daily use with no maintenance apart from an occasional wipedown, this stainless shower caddy does not have a speck of rust. So far, so good.

Product appears to be real stainless steel, which should prevent it from rusting like every other caddy I have owned. The design is off in my opinion. Many newer homes have large shower heads. This does not accomodate well as the shower head actually sprayed on the fron rail of the top shelf. I had to order a 10" shower arm (6" are generally standard) to eliminate the issue.

Additionally, slick tile surfaces are rare, which means the suction cups do not work on tiles (aka. rough surface texture) in newer homes.

This is a nice quality and heavy gauge stainless steel unit. The shelves are a great size and deep enough so if you bump it the shampoo bottle don't fall out. Comes with two suction cups to keep it from swinging. All in all I would recommend this caddy.

This caddy is made out of three sizes of wire / thin rod, plus a few decorative strips and a couple of balls covering what would otherwise be the exposed ends of the main rods. The thinnest wire is pretty thick (maybe 12 gauge?) and the heavier rods seem more than adequate to supporting whatever you might want to hang under your shower head. The welds look good. Overall, this product seems like it will last for many years.

It's well laid out, and while the slight arches to the decorative strips are sort of unnecessary and a design element that probably doesn't match anything else in your bathroom they're not obnoxious.

Overall, the only really negative thing about this caddy is that (in my shower, at least) the arch on the top strip gets in the way of the bottom of the shower stream when the head is aimed as far down as it will go. This doesn't seem to splash any water out of the stall, but it does tend to splash a bit farther from the valve wall than the shower would otherwise, making it harder to avoid the initial cold water.

I am very impressed with the shower caddy I received! When I opened it, I appreciated that it wasn't as heavy as other caddies I've purchased before! In addition to that, I liked that it came with the suction pieces. I am a product junkie and have various shampoos, conditioners and other body products that I need on hand during a shower. They definitely could weigh down the caddy or cause it to move when it's in contact with water. The suction pieces will definitely keep it in place! It will hold all of my bottles, not to mention that section for bar soap. Never saw that on other caddies I've had either! It says it's "No Rust", so hopefully over time it doesn't. All in all, I'm pleased with my shower caddy!

Furinno 11087 Just 3-Tier No Tool Shelf, White

Furinno 11087 Just 3-Tier No Tool Shelf, WhiteThis is a very useful product. I own around 40 of the regular 4-shelf Furinno bookcases, but I needed something smaller for several areas in my home. I'm glad I found these. The units are attractive, sturdy, and easy to assemble. The shelves are reversible. One side is white and the other is charcoal gray. I've purchased six units and assembled them into four custom units. One has two sets of long risers, two have one set of long risers and two sets of short risers, and one has two sets of long risers and one set of short risers (with three shelves and 4 short risers left over). The long risers are 13.5 inches and the short ones are 6.5 inches. I put 1-1/2 inch felt pads on the bottom of the feet as a finishing touch.

I have a older house with small rooms. Our master bedroom has a king size bed but not enough room for both nightstands that came with our bedroom set. Finding anything that wasn't country-looking, shabby-chic or just ugly that would fit was proving to be a nightmare. I was close to just building my own when I saw these.

The legs are made of plastic which gives it the overall ultra-cheap look. Had they been made from aluminum this would have been great. The shelves, as stated in the description, are particle board which is fine since this (hopefully) isn't a permanent solution. One side of the shelves is white, the other is a dark grey. There is a black laminate tape that is run around the edging but it isn't well placed. There are very, very visible seams so be mindful of that when you build them. I made sure all the seems were on the same side.

Construction was brain-dead easy, there really was no need for instructions but there were some if you're really that bad at putting cheap furniture together. It took about 5 minutes to put one together, literally 5 minutes. No tools required.

If these were $15 dollars they'd be fairly valued but at $24 they were a bit overpriced compared to the other particle board furniture out there.

This is flimsy table but ok looking. I guess for the price it is barely ok. I will probably not buy this again.

Revised after 1 month of use: This is not a good product. It moves a lot and has very poor stability. Stay away from this product.

Wire World 12-Pair Shoe Rack, White

Wire World 12-Pair Shoe Rack, WhiteWe have a very constricted area by the back door. We had a rack but shoes fell off if they didn't have well defined heels. We needed a rack that would fit into the same area but kept the shoes in place. This rack was and is perfect. It is compact, measuring only about 10" from the wall to the front of the rack. The lips on the shelves keep the shoes in place doesn't matter if they hang off a bit in the front or back. We've only had it a couple of months, so I can't really speak to durability, but nothing has broken or come loose so far and we've had it full from day one. I would purchase another and would recommend it to anyone who asked.

The shoe rack came in today and it literally took me less than three minutes to put it together. It is a little shaky, but not enough to make a difference. It holds 16 of our shoes, but some of the shoes are smaller than others. Adult size shoes it holds 3-4 pairs per shelf. This is perfect for our walkway to keep shoes out of the way.

I bought this because my girls have about 20 pairs of shoes.. It was super easy to put together, and was very cheap. However it is very wobbly, it holds the shoes fine and all that but if you have little ones who touch everything like I do just be warned.

Fast delivery. Easy assembly. No surprises. Good product for the price. Got it as a shoe rack for my kids and it works perfectly!

Pros:

-Lightweight and takes 2 minutes to assemble.

Cons:

-Not as good for bigger shoes. Boots can only fit on the top shelf and most of my shoes hang off the edge a little bit. I wear size 10.5

Meh:

-Feels like something that should be sold for $10 or less.

Woodland Products AEC18W Architectural Elements 18-Inch Corner Shelf, White Finish

Woodland Products AEC18W Architectural Elements 18-Inch Corner Shelf, White FinishI bought a pair of these at Home Depot and they certainly behave as you'd expect a shelf to. However, don't trust their instructions. They recommend using a 5/32" bit to pre-drill for the provided screws (I believe they're #8 screws, which should use a 1/8" or 7/64" bit), and to use a 5/16" bit to use for their anchors, which gives a hole almost large enough to push them straight through with your finger. Instead, throw out their anchors and pick up some good #8 wall anchors elsewhere; the provided ones are nothing but plastic frustration, even when using the correct 1/4" bit. Once I changed anchors, installation was a breeze.

I'm confident that the shelf would hold the advertised 35 lbs on a 90 degree corner, but mine were closer to 93 degrees. The mounting system has enough give to accommodate that easily, but you I believe a bit of stability is lost.

Just what I was looking for. We bought a flat screen TV that we mounted to the wall but needed a place for the cable box in our guest bedroom. This fit the bill perfectly. I especially liked that the brackets are hidden a nice clean look. Shipping was fast too.

John Louis Home JLH-534 Deluxe Tower Door Kit, Honey Maple

John Louis Home JLH-534 Deluxe Tower Door Kit, Honey MapleIn hindsight, these weren't worth the effort.

I'm angry that the hinges in the instructions don't match what they gave me. The hinges don't adjust enough enough to help you square the doors. They also sag slightly which causes the door to rub.

These doors are made of the same soft wood as the closet organizer and the tower so care must be exercised during the installation. I bought two sets of doors so as to cover the front of the entire tower. The installation guide requires that a shelf be located at the bottom of the top doors. Logic would indicate that the same would hold true for the top of the bottom doors. I expected to see the doors meet jointly at a shelf with a small gap to prevent the doors from rubbing each other. The size of the doors prevent a configuration that will allow this. This is an engineering flaw that causes me to downgrade my rating to three stars. Otherwise, these are nice doors with glass panels.

We settled for the John Louis Home closet system after researching extensively the market, and the key factor for us was the material (all wood), the modularity and cost-effectiveness. The Tower Door Kit follows the same reasoning: it is a great product, built with solid pine wood and looking great. The downsides are fundamentally two: on one side, there is an intrinsic problem with the material pine wood is very soft, so it is prone to scratches and dents more than other wood species. Still it looks much better than melamine. The other issue, which is costing one star to the product review in my book, is that it is very hard to install correctly. For the doors to look good, you need to not only have perfectly square installation of the doors themselves, but also of the tower sides. If your walls are not perfectly straight, this is not as easy a feat as it may sound. In the end it may take a long time to adjust the door to make it square and straight.

This is a quality product, easy to assemble and install. These options, drawers, doors, shelves, etc are rather over priced in comparison with other manufactures of competitively similar products.

Grayline 40330, Dish Drainer, White

Grayline 40330, Dish Drainer, WhiteI love this dish drainer. It is mall and compact taking little room on the counter, holds dishes, glasses, pots & pans or whatever else I wash and allow to drip-dry. Once everything is dry I am able to store in the cupboard until I need it again. It works far better than any other I have purchased over the years and I would highly recommend.
