5 Tier Book Shelf

Home Source Industries 2669 Five Shelf Book Case, Light CherryI put this together today. I expected a pretty cheaply made product, but not like this. The top side of the bookshelf is unfinished. None of the pieces line up flush with each other; they're not even designed to do so. Buy Sauder or something else if you're looking for something in this price range.

I mystified as to how mere particle board was made to feel so heavy, to create the illusion that this is decent material, I suppose. The fake wood "veneer" on top of the particle board flakes off immediately.

And as for the option of returning this for my money back, since Amazon makes ME pay for return shipping, and this thing weighs so much, I can guess that most of my refund would actually be spent on shipping--this has happened before with other items I have returned, half the refund cost or more ends up reimbursing me for my cost to pay to ship the item. And yes, getting a half refund is better than none, but in my case, I have no easy way of getting this to a post office/UPS store to return it, or, paying even MORE MONEY out of my pocket to pay UPS to come get it.

Also, when I purchased this item just one week ago, it cost twenty dollars more than they are now charging. Still, you would be better served using plastic tubs than this model bookcase.

I could've gone to Kmart and gotten better quality!!!! As soon as we put this together, this bookcase was falling apart! I purchased two, and will be returning the other!!!! For the amount of money this bookcase costs, it should've been a little more wood, not solely pressed wood, in it!!! I won't ever buy another shelf from amazon again!!!!

First off delivery. I ordered two, which were supposedly in stock. I received one over a week later than the other (I guess it wasn't in stock after all). Next, the packaging. This item is packaged in the cheap (referred to as Chinese) packaging, meaning the styrofoam is cheap and disintegrates during shipping. So, expect to be cleaning up a lot of styrofoam particles. Next the manufacture materials. This is the presswood furniture that has become so familiar in America. The materials this product is made of is a very low grade. The parts are very thin and the veneer is only on what they consider will be the visible sides (so, no veneer on the top, the back edges, the bottom, or even the bottom of the bottom shelf). The hardware is below par as well. The furniture fasteners do not function properly, so the fit is never tight. Also, they have reduced the number of fasteners to the bare minimum, so in places that would benefit from having the fasteners, an alignment peg is used instead. And now for some assembly tips. The instructions are really just diagrams. Follow them carefully. The male half of the fasteners should only be screwed in as far as the threads allow, do not put them in past the first stop. When you begin to straighten out the folds in the back, be careful to to exert too much pressure, or the finished side will split at the crease. Since the hardware is so cheap, be sure to square the unit before nailing on the back! After you've nailed it on, you don't want to find that it is out square because you'll have to pull all the little tack nails out and try again, so square it before applying the back. While nailing on the back, if you miss the exact center of the side you are nailing to, expect it to break the cheap veneer in the visible side. This is the result of the sides being manufactured so thin. In short, these units should go for half the price they are being sold for, and even if they say they are in stock, don't be surprised if there is an extended delay in receiving it.

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.

Atlantic Maxsteel 3020 432 CD/228 DVD/114 VHS/ 8-Tier Media Rack Black

Atlantic Maxsteel 3020 432 CD/228 DVD/114 VHS/ 8-Tier Media Rack Blacki got the black Atlantic 3020 in the mail yesterday and had it put together in about 10 or 15 minutes. i can fit about 220 dvds on the thing, a huge improvement over having the wobbly stacks taking up a corner of floor in my room.

It looks attractive, with a smooth flat balck finish, and seems very sturdy (especially with the provided wall strap for anchoring). If you use this rack strictly for DVDs, and sit them in horizontal rows, you will only be able to fit 6 tiers (leaving two extra) on the rack.

I already have more DVDs than this unit can occupy so i have this idea. The unit seems more than sturdy enough to hold more tiers, and because of my limited floor space, building this thing up vertically would be necessary. I purchasing another Atlantic 3020, and incorporating the parts into the existing stand to make it about 6 or 7 feet high and hold about 10 or 11 tiers. I'm very confident after seeing the construction and utilizing the wall strap that i can pull this off.

All in all i think this is a great unit and would recommend it to anyone who needs a space-effictent media rack.

At the time of my purchase, the black model was 30 dollars more than the chrome model. I don't quite understand that, but the thing is well worth it either color you choose.

After collecting DVDs for years, my collection quickly rose to the quadruple digits. I've tried the wood shelves (good but often too short and too wide), the spinning shelves (holds a decent amount but takes up too much space) and the wireframe shelves (hold low amounts of discs but saves a lot of space). I figured I'd give this one a try due to the low space it uses (due to its height) and the amount of discs it holds.

A correction to the amazon description: According to the box, it only holds up to 450 DVDs (not the 564 they list)

The first thing that came to mind while assembling this disc was the quote above "You're only as strong as your weakest link".

You do get a number of metal pieces but the feet feel like a light plastic, as do all of the clips. The 'feet' screw into the bottom of each pole but don't screw in completely (this allows them to spin, but also not feel as strong as they should be).

The clips are 2 plastic pieces that 'click together' onto the pole, and then you slide the metal shelves onto it until it locks in place.

Unfortunately, while it is made out of metal, the pieces don't appear to be the sturdiest. The unit comes with 12 shelves and 3 of mine arrived damaged (one of them had the rear disc-holder (that keeps you from pushes cds/dvds off the back of the shelf) bent completely below the rest of the frame. The other 2 damaged pieces arrived with the holes (that you slide onto the metal poles) bent to the point that you can't even put those shelves onto the unit. If they arrived like this, it leaves me a little worried on just how well it will hold up over the years with many pounds of weight placed on them.

Fully put together, I like the size. It's about 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It does seem to lean forward when not filled, so I would highly suggest using the included wall-mount to prevent it from tumbling.

A few disappointments with the design: it has trouble holding non-standard sized cases. This means that while it will hold CD's and DVDs, cases like PSP UMD's will not fit due to the metal wireframe. Fortunately, Blu Ray and HDDVDs do fit.

Also, if you set the shelf size to fit a DVD case, it will just fit a standard sized case (if you try to use one in a cardboard slipcover, the bottom wiring of the shelf above will prevent it from fitting into certain areas (it will still fit on the sides of these areas, but not directly beneath them) this has caused me to re-arrange some of my movies (taking them out of order) to get them to fit.

Overall, while it isn't the quality I hoped for, if it stays as sturdy as it is (meaning: does not bend further than the way it was when it arrived, and does not collapse) I'll be happy with it.

UPDATE: Sept 2008

After moving the shelves to a new location (where they werent tied to a wall), they came crashing down hard. The shelf comes off balance easily (such as if you bump into it) so be careful not to leave it somewhere that it can cause damage (the combination of height, metal and weight of hundreds of movies falling will do some damage). I still recommend it for the fact that its the tallest DVD shelf with the smallest footprint that I've seen.. just take caution and have it secured.

I bought one of these about two years and loved it. When we ran out of space in it, we priced new ones and ended up buying one from a liquidator on eBay. When it arrived without some of the necessary parts, I called Atlantic to purchase replacement parts. They sent them all free of charge. The product and the customer service are great. I'm definitely buying more products from Atlantic.

First of all, I am going to buy another one, so I don't think it is all that bad. But it is advertised as a rack for DVDs, and it wasn't designed well for that. They give you 5 shelves, but it requires an 8 inch space between shelves to hold the semi-standard single DVD (forget a boxed set, which is taller). The posts that hold the shelves are 29 inches long. Let's see...29 divided by 8 per shelf???? Even if you leave the top shelf at the very top of the posts, you end up with 3 tight shelves, 1 on the top that provides no support, and one shelf of 4 inches in height. No problem, you can just lay your remaining DVDs down, right? Nope, they figured that out in advance and made the damn thing a quarter of an in too narrow to allow three stacks. (That's okay, if you lay them down they just fall out the back anyway.(

Still for the price it will hold a lot of DVDs, I'll just have to order another to hold the rest. A couple of tips: The shelves are supported by little plastic clips that the corner of the shelf slips over. If you snap both halves together, they will not slide up and down, even without a shelf on them. The trick is to snap the first half onto the post, and then slide it up or down until you feel/hear the little "click", which means it has found the groove in the post. Then it is easy to snap the other half on at the same height, because they interlock. It will still be fun forcing the shelf down on all four corners to the same height, but then, it's flexible enough not to be an issue. Second, the little wire supports that are meant to keep things from falling over are virtually worthless if you have the shelf fairly full. Save them for the ends of that top shelf that is hanging out in space, to keep the discs on that shelf from toppling off the side of the shelf.

Putting the shelves together was relatively easy. After I had put it together, I changed my mind on the vertical spacing I wanted between shelves. It was easy to change the heights of the shelves.

These shelves are advertised for holding DVDs and CDs. I use it for holding DVDs and VHS tapes (yes I still have some).

I give this rack system five stars because of the ease of set up, ease of changing shelf heights, and the quantity of DVDs that it can hold, and the price. I am sure you can find better (sturdier) shelving, but at what cost?

I have not yet used the straps that come with the rack for anchoring the shelves to the wall. The foot pieces can be adjusted. I adjusted the front legs to be a bit taller than the back legs so that the rack naturally wants to tip back into the wall. If you are worried about a small child trying to climb up the shelves, you should use the wall straps.

If/when I fill this DVD rack and need more storage space, I will buy another one of this brand and size of rack.

Akro-Mils 30130 12-Inch by 6-Inch by 4-Inch Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin Box, Red,Case of 12

Akro-Mils 30130 12-Inch by 6-Inch by 4-Inch Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin Box, Red,Case of 12My wife and I were looking for something to store some stuff in our freezer. These bins were perfect in size and withstood both room and freezing temps. The solid construction means they won't warp if you have to pick them up fully loaded.

Our top mounted freezers have been a challenge to organize. One has a single shelf and the other has no shelves at all. It's very difficult to stack and organize frozen food so that it doesn't slide around and tumble.

Originally, I purchased some simple coated wire bins that turned out to be just a tad too long to stack the way I had intended. I hadn't taken the depth of the shelves on the door into consideration when I measured.

These solid bins are shorter and allow me to stack them inside both freezers to keep things organized and stable. I usually repackage meats before freezing them in meal sized portions, usually in quart sized freezer bags. Even stacked, these handy little bins let you glimpse the content and you can easily just lift out the bins to get to the food you need. They work and solve the frozen avalanche problems.

Rubbermaid Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit

Rubbermaid 3H89 Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit, TitaniumI have used all three of these. I first bought the Elfa (Container Store) for one bedroom. It was extremely expensive. Spent 5 times more than the others for something very simple. Everything is cut for you once you have the measurements. It is very sturdy and very well made, of course. It is probably over kill for a closet organizer. They have a lot of nice accessories for it and can be dressed up to look nicer than the others. Biggest negative which really surprises me since Closetmaid and Rubbermaid doesn't have this problem is you can't slide a hanger all the way across.

My next project was using Rubbermaid. I liked the idea it was adjustable. It was very easy to install. I bought the delux 8 feet kit. One problem is you will sometimes have left over parts and in my case I also had to buy one extra part since the way I wanted it was a little different that what options you had with their kit. After installing it I found I just didn't need to change it, so the adjustability probaly was not a plus for me but some people may want to make changes after using it for awhile. Biggest negative which really isn't a negative is that it is flimsy compared to the Elfa which is like a tank. That is because it is adjustable but it is sturdy enough. I have no problems with that. Another possible negative is it only comes with 12 inch shelves for closets. If you really need something bigger you can go into their garage sections which has 16 inches shelves.

My last project was Closetmaid. I used Closetmaid for my wife's closet since she wanted 16 inch shelves and I didn't feel it needed to be adjustable. Now if you don't want to be doing your own cutting which can be a chore without the right tools then go with Rubbermaid. But I have the right tools so cutting was not a problem. I bought mine at Lowe's. If you have all your measurements you can do the cutting their. They have a bolt cutter that cuts right through it. I did all my cutting at home since I have bolt cutters and metal saws. I like Closetmaid since it was sturdier than Rubbermaid and I just buy what I need. It also has a nice selection of accessories from wire drawers to shoe organizers. What I really liked is their clothes hamper. It pulls out on a slide then pushes in after you throw your dirty clothes in.

Now the surprise is the vertical hangers for all three companies all have the same slot design. How the verticals hang on the wall is differnt but once you have the vertical hangers secured you can interchange most accessories. I can install shelf supports for any company on any one of the vertical hangers. So I used the Closetmaid clothes hamper in my Rubbermaid closet. Closetmaid shelf supports and shelves will fit on the Rubbermaid or Elfa vertical hangers and vice versa.

If money is not a concern then buy the Elfa, built like a tank will last forever and looks better than the others with the right accessories.

Rubbermaid is the least sturdy of the three but does the job. It is very easy to put up so if your not handy around the house then buy this one. You also can easily make changes to how you want the shelves organized much more so that the other two. If you want 16 inch shelves then look at their garage organizers, the system is the same.

I like Closetmaid but it does require more work to put up since you have to do all the cuttings. It is much sturdier than Rubbermaid since it is meant to be permanent once you put it in. Shelves snap in place which took some effort and would be difficult to remove. Rubbermaid has a simple slide to lock shelves in so you can makes changes easily but then again you give up some sturdiness.

Update 12/12/2011

After having used all three systems for almost three years I can say all of them hold up well. I haven't had any problems so my original feeling that Rubbermaid tend to be flimsy is still not a problem. I don't think you can go wrong with Rubbermaid and it is very easy to put up and being adjustable gives you room to customize the way you want it. Having parts left over is more of a mental problem because the cost of the kit is still probably cheaper than buying each part by itself even with the left over parts or you can try using all of it. Also as I said before you can use Closetmaid accessories with Rubbermaid and although I like my Closetmaid clothes hamper it did fall apart which was replaced by Lowe's at no cost.

I recently did my daughters closet using Rubbermaid but these were not adjustable. You buy what you need and cut to fit (Home Depot). These being not adjustable felt much sturdier. I did find putting in the shelves to be easier than Closetmaid. Closetmaid shelves snap in and are very tight. The Rubbermaid ones were just easier in that it has a slide that locks the shelves in place but Rubbermaid is more expensive than Closetmaid so you pay for this one feature.

I wanted to post a review that addresses why a lot of people look into Rubbermaid Configurations to get a cheaper, comparable version of Elfa shelving. Some on here claim that this is just like Elfa, minus Elfa's high price. That's how I found out about Configurations and compared the two.

The problem was, my fiancee and I had already looked at Elfa shelving with the Container Store closet designer and had that system on our minds when I started looking at Configurations. It's not quite apples to apples as some people claim.

To look at the system, I ripped open a box at Target. Three things I noticed that made this system different.

1. Some of the smaller pieces are plastic. Elfa is all metal/steel. Granted its not the pieces that "count" i.e. the tracks, shelving. But its not quite the same quality.

2. The shelves are a foot deep at most, and there are no other options. With Elfa you have the option of getting deeper shelves and yes, for some folded clothes those extra inches matter.

3. As some on here have noted, for full closet systems you may end up buying two sets of the Configurations systems in order to get all the pieces you need. But I priced what I would have needed at around $200, which was $100 less than the comparable Elfa system for my closet.

This system is fine for kitchen, garage, office, kids room organization for this, Elfa is probably overkill. But for a master clothes closet, the shelf depth was the killer. I ended up biting the bullet and buying Elfa.

If you think this might work for a clothes closet, my suggestion would be to visit Container Store and get a closet layout from a consultant there. Then take that list and see how many Configurations sets you need for the same layout. You'll probably come out ahead cost wise. If you wait until Elfa is 30% off around the holidays, though, the gap will narrow.

Also worth mentioning is that the Configurations platinum system (and of course white) look very similar to the untrained eye to Elfa. So another option is to use this as your shelving and invest your money in the Elfa stand up drawer units to complete the closet. These are where the real expense is. But a combination of the two will give you a pretty killer closet.

Buy Rubbermaid Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit Now

My wife and I were looking for an open closet and got some quotes from MDF and wood closet makers. The ones that we cared for were above $800!

This system looks OK and is easy to install. We went for the Deluxe Kit, and we got some accessories too: two wire baskets and a trouser hanger. Everything was below $500.

It took me 12 hours (not one as other lucky reviewer), but that includes removing all the clothes from the other closet, removing the other closet, going to the hardware shop to buy a 3/8" drilling bit and anchors for masonry wall (ours is not drywall), drilling the masonry wall, installing the closet, trying different configurations, going to a Christmas Party in between, installing the accessories AND putting the clothes in the new closet.

Overall, one of the greatest gifts we bought for ourselves this christmas. I'm very happy with it. Yesterday I started rearranging it again to better optimize space.

Some words of advice:

1. The Deluxe kit we got comes with a LOT of shelves. But because we also got the accessories, we couldn't use all the shelves. I wonder if the Classic Kit + Accessories would have suited us better.

2. We got two shoe racks as accesories to this closet system, but returned them the next day (exchanged them for a wire basket). These take up too much space of the closet because you have to put them in the rails. It's simpler to purchase a longer shoe rack separately that you can put on the floor.

Excellent closet kit. We ordered two 4-8' deluxe custom kits. My husband and I each have an 8' closet. Kits were very easy to install. By the time we got to the second closet we were pretty fast. Took about 1 hour to install the second closet system. The closet design is great in that there is no cutting with the exception of the last rail cover. Love that the hangers slide easily, our previous closet "system" only allowed a couple of inches either way. The flexibility of the closet is amazing. We also ordered for my husband the shoe shelves, tie and belt organizer, and two sliding pants racks. For me I ordered three sets of shoe rods, two pants racks, and one sliding basket. We also ordered 3 upright extension rods for each closet due to the number of accessories we ordered. I had so much fun playing around with the expandable hanging rods, the shelves, and all the accessories. I now have my closet organized and I cannot believe how much room I have for everything. I even have "room to grow". I highly recommend this closet system.

Want Rubbermaid Configurations 4-to-8-Foot Deluxe Custom Closet Kit Discount?

We started our closet "improvement" by first going to the Closet Maid site & using their "free" online design tool. Being free, it was totally confusing & kluggy to use. So I then used their $5.00 premium online design service, which gave me (2) designs along with a parts list. This is the part that drove me crazy...the parts list was complete, but it directed me to retailers like Home Depot but the disclaimer states that "a particular store might not carry all the parts for your design"!!?? I then asked the CM site if we could order all the parts directly from Closet Maid, only to get an email back stating that their partnership agreement(s) requires them to direct us to Home Depot!! I could not bear the insanity of driving to half a dz. or more Home Depots looking to fill the Closet Maid parts list. Enough said, they eliminated themselves from consideration.

I then came across the Rubbermaid systems on Amazon and after reading the many positive reviews I took the plunge & ordered (2) 4-8 ft. & (2) 3-6 ft. Deluxe Custom Closet Kits to improve our small MB walk-in & my 12yr.'s 6ft. closet.

It took longer than 1 hr., but much less than 12 hrs (you will spent a great deal time measuring, climbing up & down the ladder, switching drill bits for screw tips, etc...), unlike several of the earlier reviews I had read. It took about 6hrs. total this past Friday to install (2) of the 3-6 ft. & (1) 4-8 ft. kits in our approx. 6' x 6' walk-in. The 1st kit took the longest. Once I understood how the first kit worked, I really cranked after that. A few crucial points:

1) Make sure you have a level (I found a 2ft. one worked great!), a good cordless drill with 2 fully charged batteries (if your screws hit studs, which is what you want, it will take a lot of juice)with good phillips screw tips and a sturdy 6' step ladder.

2) Get a 3/8" drill bit....most households typically won't have one larger

than 1/4"...this is the hole size for the sheet rock anchors. I didn't have one either so I had to go get one after opening the box! this is the only thing I had to buy, aside from the extra 25" vertical ext. bars & extra shelves. Rubbermaid also provided more sheet rock anchors than I needed (that's a first!). So unless you have a cinderblock or stainless steel wall in your closet, all the req. parts come in the kits.

3) MAKE SURE THE HORIZONTAL MOUNTING BARS ARE MOUNTED STRAIGHT & LEVEL (first thing that goes up)OR YOU WILL LIVE TO REGRET IT! USE THE LEVEL CONSTANTLY ON ALL THE HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL BARS!. After that, the brackets, shelves & hanging rods just pop in based on your configuration.

4) Buy extra 25" ext. bars, each kit only comes with (2) per kit. You will need the extras if you want to max. use on the kits.

All in all we rate this an excellent product. Quality was excellent (all the parts fit!). Instructions & assembly was clear & easy to follow and was actually fun once you got the hang of it. The Amazon pricing & free delivery made it a clear choice above competitors like Closet Maid & Elfa (The Container Store). And most of all it looks great (metallic/pewter coated finish) & works well. We figured it will take us an hour or so to install the last kit in my daughter's closet. We will definitely use their kits again.

Thanx Rubbermaid & Amazon for "PIMPIN OUR CLOSET"!!

Premier Steel Wall Pot Rack

Enclume PR10-HS Premier Shelf with Half Circle Wall Rack, Hammered SteelWe've been working on our kitchen since we moved into our new place, and even though I've increased the size of my kitchen substantially, I find that I never have enough room. Clearly, getting the pots out of the cabinetry was key, but with the layout of the room, there aren't a whole lot of options. Finally, I found this pot rack, and it's exactly what I'd been looking for. Unlike other wall-mounted racks that we looked at, the mounts extend the rack 4" away from the wall, allowing me to hang smaller pots from the main rail without having them bang against the drywall. I was able to mount the rack within 1 1/2" from the ceiling and still add/remove the hooks easily, giving me the maximum amount of room and head clearance (note my wife and I are both above-average height, so this solution may not work for everyone). Mounting was easy you have to have wooden studs to mount this into the wall (4 carriage bolts finished to match included), and owners of older homes should be aware that lat-and-plaster finished homes are likely not going to be able to accommodate. Ceiling hooks are included, but I didn't see any use for them, given the way the wall mounts work (but they'll be nice for other work I'm doing). The biggest negative I see is that the hook count is a bit skimpy and additional hooks are a bit pricy, given the overall cost of the rack. But, I still give this rack a 5/5 it's sturdy, well-made, easy to mount, and I'm confident that I will get many years of use out of it.

Leila I Changer Dresser

Leila I Changing Table Finish: CherryMy husband just put this together tonight and I was amazed on the quality of it. Usually you get what you pay for, and other comparable dresser/changers are at least $100 more so I thought it would be cheesy. I was wrong! It's good quality wood, the drawers slide very nicely and the height is perfect. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 6'3" so we were afraid it wasn't going to be high enough and the picture makes it seem like it's short, but it's perfect for both of us. The cherry color is also very true. We have a cherry finish crib and we were afraid it wouldn't be close in color and it matches perfectly. Great product!!! I will definitely be recommending this to my pregnant friends!

I researched a lot of products before buying this one. I wanted one with drawers and an open area. It looks very nice put together, but beware...

1. many, many parts

2. several of the parts came with scratches and nicks. Not enough to send back, but extremly annoying!

Just know that your spouse is not going to enjoy putting this together.

Looks beautiful and was easy enough to assemble that I was able to put it together myself at 7 months pregnant.

The cherry finish is a bit darker than the cherry crib I have from another company.

The paint chipped a bit where I tried to remove the stickers that identify each individual piece, but I'm willing to bed that is more my fault than the manufacturer.

The drawers roll in and out smoothly.

Safco Products Onyx Mesh Off-Surface Shelf, Black (3604BL)

Safco Products Onyx Mesh Off-Surface Shelf, BlackI bought this primarily to have someplace to put my label printer and letter trays on. This sure fits the bill. The length even gives me additional space to add a few other things. The attached drawer is able to be moved from one end to the other (a great idea) and this flexibility helps when the situation in my organizing changes. The side rails are another great idea and lets me keep legal pads or folders close at hand. Overall, this is a well thought out design and the price doesn't make you grimace.

what a great way to organize my desk. The 'center' drawer can slide the length of the whole shelf with the touch of a finger making it so convenient for any configuration! The drawer is 1 3/4" deep, 6" from front to back and 8" wide. The sides for holding folders and whatnot are 1 3/4" deep so they can even fit a thick notebook! There is a 5 3/4" clearance under the entire shelf except where the drawer is and from there its 4" so you can still store things on your desk underneath this cool desk shelf. Made with a solid quality, this thing will last!

I had a hard time finding something to free up desk space and display photos, etc. This works well for that purpose.

Shipping was FAST, well packed and the shelf itself is very well made. It takes up very little real estate on my desk and I love the side file holders! The little drawer slides side-to-side easily and pulls out easily and it has a bigger capacity than I thought it would have very nice! The back of the shelf is high enough to support the things I have on it and the shelf itself is high enough to not waste my little bit of desk space I have under the shelf. I bought a little fluorescent strip lamp (about 12" long) and mounted it under the shelf to light my work space. My husband just made a tiny hole in 2 spots and riveted the holders in place. Now I have a wonderful work area even though the table is small.

It couldn't have been better! Thank you Safco and Amazon for a great product. I have a black computer desk and this just looks great on it and is really functional. The file holder on the ends are great and the little drawer is nice because it can be moved the lenth of the shelf. I wasn't sure about the mesh when I bought it but I am sure now. Looks very rich and clean. Yes, this will do fine! Thank you.

TMS London 3 Tier Hall Table

TMS London 3 Tier Hall TableThis is a great hallway table. It came super fast and was pretty easy to assemble. It looks good and fits perfectly just where I wanted it to go. Only problem is that it is super light and feels "almost" cheap. Hasn't given me any reason to regret buying this product though.

Yes, I would recommend anyone to buy this table :)

This might have been a nice bookshelf but I will not know because it was missing a part and I am not able to contact the manufacturer to determine if the part can be sent. I would not recommend this product.

This table is absolutely horrible. It is cheap as anything and the wood split when we were putting it together and we had to glue it back together. It came with NO INSTRUCTIONS...I could have gotten a table for $20 at the dollar general for this quality..I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!

Order at your own risk, we ordered this table and it came with 2 wrong pieces so we had to request a replacement table. The replacement table came quickly but it also had the wrong pieces! Luckily, we had not yet returned the original table so between the 2 shipments we had enough pieces to create the table. The finished product looked great, but I would definitely be weary of ordering the table and receiving all the right pieces the first time. It's so annoying that they couldnt be bothered to make sure it was right the 2nd time around.

This table was exactly what I thought it would be. Looks good. Was able to put it together with just screwdriver (would have been faster with drill). Overall very satisfied.

Winsome Timber Kitchen Cart with Wainscot panel

Winsome Timber Kitchen Cart with Wainscot panelFast shipping but when I went to put it together, you have to be an engineer!! I have put together many pieces of furniture but this was by far the hardest. The directions were pictures, which is fine, if they made sense, which was harder to follow. The pieces were not marked and I had to keep looking back and forth to figure them out. Halfway thru, I put the directions aside and was able to do it. It's a nice looking cabinet but just to hard to assemble, plus I could have got one already done, for a few dollars more and a local retailer, which I should have checked on first. My mistake.

I needed a new kitchen cart and had some specific requirements so that it would functional for the area I needed to place it. Holds everything I need. Gave me an extra drawer in the kitchen, although the drawer doesn't work really well no glides for easy movement also the drawer is not very deep still is extra space and I use it tons! If you are looking for something small and functional, this is it!

What I liked:

It's made of real wood.

It looks great.

What I disliked:

The instructions weren't the best but they're not impossibly hard.

The included tool is cheap.

The top drawer isn't on wheels so it takes some effort to close.

Summary:

There are many comments about impossibly hard instructions. They're not. This thing does have a lot of screws and will take a little while to assemble. Don't use the included allen wrench.

This cart is solid. It'll take you an hour or so to put together. The same cart would probably cost twice as much assembled, so its worth the trouble. If you have an electric drill with a hex driver, you'll save tons of time. The cart looks good and serves its purpose.

This fits exactly where I needed it to. The only problem is with the drawer. The sides wouldn't line up quite right and the drawer is extremely difficult to open and close. Lucklily, the items I store in there aren't everyday kitchen items.
