Target Marketing Systems Kids 3-Tier Shelf

TMS Kids 3-Tier Shelf, Sky Pink/WhiteI bought this product to have a place to put the baby monitor, CD player and lamp on in my daughter's nursery. Unfortunetly the lamp did not fit because the top shelf was too shallow and the lamp was too tall to fit on the lower two shelves. You have to assemble the product and some of the holes arn't cut in exactly the right spots so the corners are off a bit (I'm sure no one else will notice, just me since I put it together). Overall it is a cute & sturdy product for the price, and I really like that it screws into the wall, making it more durable and less accident prone for my daughter when she gets more mobile. As another reviewer stated: the white shelves are actually more of an off white, but I didn't mind. This was a cute addition to her nursery and I would recommend it to a friend.

I bought this for my granddaughters nursery which is pink and white. I ordered this shelf and when it came I discovered it was not white, it was more of a cream. I put it in the nursery and it looked dingy, so I had to paint the shelves white. Once I did that it looked great and was the perfect size.

This is a cute little shelf. It is the perfect height for my two toddlers ages 2 and 3 1/2, to keep their books on. I like how it came with hooks to attach to the wall so it wont tip over. The colors are more of an off white shelf and light salmon pink end pieces. It does its job.

LockerWorks Hanging Locker Organizer

LockerWorks Hanging Locker Organizer Black/redMy son is in sixth grade in a school that has top lockers and bottom lockers, which is problematic on many levels no pun intented. First the lockers are 11 inches wide which seems standard, but only 33+ inches high which doesn't leave much room for 3 inch binders, text books, notebooks, library books, musical instruments, gym clothes, winter coats and alike. Then toss in the fact that if the person with the locker above or below yours is at their loccker first and you have to wait to get into yours, then you have less time to find your stuff admist the clutter in your locker and then rush off to class which maybe at the other end of the building. Obviously, this what led me to search out some form of locker organization for my son and what lead me to this product. I admit it seemed pricey, but it it also seemed to be a good fit for what we needed. Well it arrived just the other day and I was amazed at how well it was constructed and the many features that the product description did not even mention. The Metal Hangers are beyond sturdy and more that ample support for all the books other items that need to be stored in a locker. The Hangers can also be slipped into 3 different slots at the top of the organizer in order to shorten the length a few inches if the organzer is to long. Now if even at the lowest slot the organizer is still to long, or if you just want to limit the organizer to 2 shelves instead of its normal 3 shelves, you can snap up the bottom shelf leaving you with a 2 shelf version. It also has a slot on the top shelf where it looks like you can slip a note pad or wallet for safe keeping and a strip of elastic banding has been attached where you can slip spare pencils, pens, or even a folded up note. Finally, the Organizer is 9 inches wide which still leaves room for a coat and/or empty backpack to be slipped into the locker beside it. And that's just off the top of my head. To sum up, it's great and we'll worth the money. I intend on buying them for each of my other 4 children when they reach middle school. They are even so well made, I can see them lasting through highschool to college where it could be hung in a closet. Trust me it's worth it!

My daughter needed to organize her half-locker so she could quickly grab books between classes. This organizer was perfect! It's sturdy, adjustable, and because it has three "shelves," it holds a multitude of books and her coat easily.

My daughter loves this shelf unit. The lockers at her school are the thin ones with the book section above. Hers was on the top and she couldn't see into it or reach it. She has installed the hanging shelves and it is working out beautifully. Now I don't have to listen to the complaining about not being able to see/get to her books. It is a little pricey, but worth it.

I bought this product to try and help my daughter organise her books. Unfortunately the locker was deeper than the organiser and all the books kept falling through the back. The hooks for holding it up worked very well and it's very sturdy but your locker can't be deeper than the organisers dimensions.

Want LockerWorks Hanging Locker Organizer Discount?

My son is in his first middle school year and has been using the locker organizer hanging shelves for about two months. They have made a considerable difference for him in terms of easier and faster retrieval of his stuff when he is in a hurry the school breaks between classes are just three minutes long. Additionally, I suspect that the day-to-day practice of good space and time management of his locker will translate into better time and space management in other areas of his life; for example, his work at home.

On the technical side, the shelves are both very simple and very robust since they do not wear off at all and are easily adjustable length-wise (to two or three shelves). They accomodate all sorts of books and school tools. Therefore, they could probably be used until (and even beyond) highschool graduation of one's child, in a shorter or a taller locker. The one thing they will not be able to accomodate easily is a winter coat that hangs on the side wall or the back wall of the locker the space left is insufficient. If the shelves are used (after adjustment) in their shorter version (i.e. two shelves), one could squeeze a backpack at the bottom of the locker. My son's locker has an upper (drawer-like) subcompartment, on whose bottom plate are the shelves hanging, and this arrangement works fine. I do not know whether a different arrangement will work as well; for example, we have not tried fixing the shelves on hooks that hang on the side or back walls of the locker.

In summary, the hanging shelves would be an excellent choice for managing space and (consequently) time for someone (student or other) who is made to use a locker. They obviously cannot increase locker space but they can make life bearable for the user. The price, when I made the purchase at least, seemed rather high but I have forgotten about it already, given the utility and durability of the device, and knowing that it has saved my son a lot of grief at times when he is left to fend for himself.

Con-Tact Brand Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner, Natural Cork, 18-Inch by 4-Feet

Con-Tact Brand Self-Adhesive Shelf Liner, Natural Cork, 18-Inch by 4-FeetI use this to put cork backings on tile trivets and coasters. It does a fabulous job; the adhesive adheres smoothly and makes backing the trivets a breeze. The trivets have uneven backs but when the cork goes on, the backing seems completely smooth. It doesn't trim at all well with a razor blade or box cutter, but trims perfectly with scissors. Hint: apply it to the surface you want to cover FIRST, then trim the edges with scissors.)

Firstly, the manufacturer's description, "acid free glossy clear liner. Protects horizontal and vertical surfaces, see through to surface." currently on the Amazon product page is wrong. This is a self-adhesive natural cork, and thus both somewhat spongy/porous and opaque, liner that is about the width of a quarter-dollar coin.

I bought this at a retail store, in conjunction with the purchase of some teak coasters that were nice-looking, but that did not have any padding to protect my newly refinished table tops. I didn't want the cork to be visible, so I traced the coasters, cut pieces that were slightly smaller than my tracings with scissors, peeled the paper off, and stuck the cork to the less attractive side of each coaster. (If the lines on the paper backing are not needed, I would advise drawing or tracing on the cork side, as I was able to cut more neatly with the scissors on that side.)

I was happy with the result, but noticed, as I was putting the wrapper back on the unused portion of the roll, some fine print on the label: "CAUTION: Not for use on lacquered or urethane surfaces. Finish damage may occur." I assume that means that the adhesive may damage lacquered or urethane surfaces, but I am not sure whether it refers also to the cork side; I would suppose not, but will certainly test the coasters before using them on the finer surfaces in my home. Some clarification from the manufacturer as to its warning would certainly be welcome. Otherwise it is a great product, and I wish only that it were available in a wider and/or longer roll.

Update: I've used the coasters, non-sticky cork side down, of course, on the table tops for several weeks, with no damage to the surface, so I would suppose that the manufacturer warning regarding damage refers only to lacquered or urethane surfaces to which the adhesive side of the cork came into contact.

I have some old shelves throughout the home and I decided to line all of them with this cork paper. It is great, easy to use and has really upgraded the cabinets and drawers.

This cork adhesive is great. I don't really use it as shelf liner, I use it mostly for decorative purposes to decorate boxes and other things. Great look!

I'm a big fan of this stuff. I first used it under a coffeemaker to catch those extra drips and drizzles from ruining the countertop. I also use it under the kitchen sink. Its not thick like a corkboard, but it looks and works great.

Black Mountain Console Table

Black Mountain Console TableThe console arrived on time and I proceeded to assemble it. The wood is solid and the pieces fit together nicely. However, when I used a damp cloth as instructed to clean the surface some of the markings did not come off. Upon closer inspection I could see how the top shelf, the most prominent and visible, had marks caused by something in the manufacturing process at the factory. They are unsightly and ruin the effect of the whole piece. I have tried damp cloths and wood surface products to no avail. At a brick and mortar store this item would be tagged "As Is" and reduced in price. It is far too much trouble to disassemble the console, package it and send it back. What a disappointment. The company should offer a discount in such cases. This is one more reason not to buy online.

36 Shot Glass Display Case Wall Cabinet Holder Rack - Cherry Finish (SCD06B-CH)

36 Shot Glass Display Case Wall Cabinet Holder Rack - Cherry FinishLike that this is a rectangle rather than a square. Nicely built and finished and well protected for shipping. Bought it to display my very old Asian carved ivory collection and with the mirrored background the items have never looked better. They are now protected from dust and damage from handling by admirers. Good versatility--only needed two of the glass shelves so taller pieces could easily be displayed along with smaller carvings. Easy to hang on the wall.

I purchased this to display a collection of small dogs. I had seen it on the the company's website, but decided to research AMAZON to if they had something like it. Lo and behold, AMAZON had the same one from the same company! Granted, it was a penny more at AMAZON, but it had free super saver shipping. Saved me $18.00 shipping cost over the ordering it straight from the company. It matches my furniture, and my small collection fits in it perfectly. It was shipped quickly and securely. I'm very happy with the entire transaction.

Spectrum Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair

Spectrum 77100 Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair, WhiteI was really happy with product. Takes seconds to install and really made a BIG difference with the linen closet. Had some left over too.

I was trying to find a way to keep my piles of folded clothes from falling over and creating a jumbled mess on the shelf at the top of my closet. This product solved my problem. My folded sweaters and jeans now stay in place and my closet looks super neat. This product seems to be very sturdy and very easy to use. You just slide it onto the shelf and it's ready to use. I may buy some more for the other shelves in my house.

These are working very well on the top shelf of two tiny closets to separate 4 stacks of garments. It seems possible that my lighter summer items, e.g., camisoles and t-shirts, might get stuck in the wire loops, but so far, no real trouble even with them. The height is just right for standard shelves in an old home; the sturdy metal grip slid on easily and holds securely, no sliding around at all. I had to angle the dividers a bit to get them in place, so would recommend installing when shelves are empty if space is tight.

I bought these to tame my husband's unbelievably messy closet. Three months later, he has managed to maintain his newly organized wardrobe! These take seconds to install and are not bad-looking. It has definitely made a huge difference in his closet, so I recently bought some more to tackle the kid's room. Wish me luck!

Want Spectrum Over-The-Shelf Divider Large 1-Pair Discount?

I really needed these for a closet shelf so I could put some sweaters there. I looked through all dividers that were available on Amazon Prime and read all the reviews and checked dimensions. What I could not tell was how they secured UNDER the shelf, but reviews were pretty good so I decided to try these.

The rod that goes under the shelf runs about halfway under the shelf and ends with a "t" to keep it from sliding around, so it's pretty stable. So glad my sweaters are organized now! I am impressed and pleased that they are working so well!

Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, White

Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, WhiteThe Hamilton Beach Garment Drying Station is the underdog that you root for. It faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge and it tries and tries, but just falls short. Still, you appreciate its effort and reward it by trotting it out for a use every now and then.

The problem of drying delicates and shrinkable knits is hardly a new one. Since clotheslines are so out of fashion now, most people resort to drip-drying these items on hangers. But this is hardly a solution, either.

Enter the Garment Drying Station, which promises to drastically cut drying times while protecting your clothes. The biggest problem is that it fails on the first count in order to succeed on the second. I've found that drying times often stretch into the hours, especially for knits. I tried drying a few medium-weight cotton sweaters on it and they were still damp after running all night. A heavier-weight hoodie sweatshirt? Pfft forget about it. Lightweight materials such as silks and synthetics can be finished in two to three hours.

Fortunately, while it's running, the Station isn't very loud its fan is roughly as loud as that of a microwave. So assuming that it's in an adjacent room, you'll barely notice it. And it does blow the pleasant smell of clean laundry throughout the house.

But maybe the worst drawback to the System is the size conundrum. It takes up a large footprint when its set up approximately 2.5 feet square. However, this still isn't large enough to completely spread out most garments. One of the problems that I faced with the knit sweaters is that I had to fold the sleeves over the body in order to fit them on to the drying rack. The wet-on-wet portions of the sweaters were obviously much slower to dry. Sure, I could have stopped by every now and then to rearrange the sleeves, but suddenly the convenience factor is gone. Also, the size of the racks can be a problem for thinner fabrics as you have no choice but to either fold the garment up or else leave it hanging off the edge, either of which can produce unwanted creases. There is an optional attachment that lets you hang hangers over the unit, but then suddenly I'm out $25 more dollars and back to hang-drying clothes anyway.

Setup and takedown are both very easy and operation is a simple on/off switch. The Station is constructed of plastic that feels durable and high-quality mesh that shouldn't snag any of your clothing.

So the Garment-Drying Station attempts to solve a likely unsolvable situation and falls somewhat short. Still, if you have a big wardrobe of delicate light-weight clothes, a lot of spare space to operate the unit, and a pretty hefty amount of patience, it's a worthwhile investment.

PROS

* Gentle drying of your delicate and/or shrinkable garments

* Does fill a good amount of the house with a pleasant "fresh laundry" smell

* Surprisingly quiet during operation

* Quality construction

CONS

* Lengthy drying times

* Takes up considerable space, both when in use and when stored

* Drying racks are nevertheless too small to flatten out most items

This sweater dryer was the answer to my prayers. Living in Florida, I don't own many sweaters or sweatshirts; so I keep them in a tight rotation. This dries even heavy sweaters in about 24 hours. I've even started using it for delicates, to dry them quicker.

The initial set up is a bit of a nightmare, so I wouldn't recommend this if you don't plan on setting it up and leaving it for at least the winter months. If it weren't for the set up, I would give it 5 stars!

This dryer does use electricity for the fan, and I plan on leaving the clothes on it for a day. Obviously, the amount of time necessary for drying depends on the humidity in the house. Another advantage is if your air is dry, the water drying from the clothes adds to the humidity. I find that unless you want to take the dryer apart to lay out your clothes, the shelves are too close together. It would benefit from the addition of screen trays so that you can put your clothes on them and then slide them into the shelves. I dry most of my clothes on the top shelf and on the sides, and I find this works very well.

My reason for purchasing this drying rack was that I wear a lot of "lay flat to dry" sweaters, and having sweaters laying all over my house on laundry day was really getting to me. I bought this mostly because of its 4 shelves, and the fact that it claimed to dry things quicker was just an added bonus. Based on prior reviews I was a bit skeptical of its claim to shorten drying time, however I was pleasantly surprised. Sweaters that previously took at least a day (12+ hours) to dry were dry in about 4-6 hours.

the noise from the fan is not much worse than an older style humidifier. It does have a decent size foot print, however it does come apart easily for more compact storage when not in use. The only thing I would change is that I would make the shelves slightly longer, as many of my sweaters have a couple of inches that hang over the end.

overall I have been really pleased with this item so far.

I bought two of these dryers one for my friend and both of us are fiber dyers. The wool dried overnight, it is terrific, The racks are about the size of a regular dryer but it has so many racks you can use some or one. I would buy this in a heartbeat. Works very well, better than a fan I used to use.

Origami Shelf Liners

Origami Shelf LinersI thought these were a bit pricy at the time just to keep the occasional item from falling through the shelf on one of my origami units. A box works, right? But they are solid and no-slip with great magnetic attachment. What a difference. We just went from a great roll-around project organizer to a terrific roll-around project organizer! Yesthey do stay in place while rolling. And I think, if someone was using this in a house or apartment, the shelf liners with the semi-matt finish make it much more furniture-like.

A great compliment to a great household helper.

Fits my needs perfectly. Shipment speed exceeded my expections, I commented to my husband that it seeded to have been waiting in the neighborhood to be delivered as soon as I placed the order.

Mission Styled 3 Tier Shelf, 36 inch High

Mission Styled 3 Tier Shelf, 36 inch HighDon't expect IKEA level quality, or even Target! The wood is lovely, but the fittings don't quite fit they are all approximate. That means the frame is a little wobbly even after every screw is completely tightened. Also, the manufacturer expects you to fasten the wood top and bottom shelf to the frame with screws, but has not drilled any holes for the screws to screw into. That means that instead of assembling with only a screwdriver, I am now going to need to find measuring tape, pencil, an electric drill, and time when someone else can watch my kids, so I can use the drill without anyone being in danger. That is significantly more work than I was anticipating.

Also, it comes with an allen wrench, and no reason to use it. Why include it? It's even listed on the fittings page.

It will be a lovely bookcase, when it's finally assembled.

Magnussen Tanner Wood Chairside Table

Magnussen Tanner Wood Chairside TableWe saw this in a high end furniture store but bought it from Amazon to save the sales tax. It is a nice piece of furniture but does require assembly. On one of the two I purchased I had to actually plane down the drawer because it didn't fit properly. That took an extra 20 minutes of fiddling around and if I wasn't handy it would have been a problem.

Solid, a little heavier than I thought it would be. Also, a little more rustic than it looks in the picture. Has that hand scraped looked. Great size.
