Baseball Shelf- Large 25" Round Wood Sports Shelf

Baseball Shelf- Large 25' Round Wood Sports ShelfI ordered this to display my son's baseball trophies. It is a very nice shelf and I love that you can customize it. It comes with so many options for displaying any type of object bat, balls, hat, jersey as well as the trophies. It arrived quickly and was easy to install. I would like to be able to purchase additional accessories but haven't found an option to do that yet.

Akro-Mils 30124 24-Inch by 4-Inch by 4-Inch Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin Box, Yellow, Case of 12

Akro-Mils 30124  24-Inch by 4-Inch by 4-Inch Plastic Nesting Shelf Bin Box, Yellow, Case of 12Item is as described: can sit on a shelf and hold parts. Can nest in other bins. Getting at the items in the nested bins is kind of a pain, of course -there's no way to stick your hand in the lower bins when they're stacked that way.

Note that Akro-Mils sells bins of many different dimensions. These are 24" but the 18" really nicely fit wire rack shelves that one might find for one's garage.

Spice Rack Storage/Organizer- Organizes 12 spice jars

Spice Rack Storage/Organizer- Organizes 12 spice jarsI love these. I got 2 sets and attached them to the side of a shelf in my pantry which was "dead" space. It freed up shelf space and they're all right there with labels facing, easy to find a certain spice when I need it. Also, they're grooved, which allows them to be easily cut apart, so you can easily adjust how many you want in each row.

After four years, the tape strips began to dry out and they started falling down. Still, not bad for 4 years of daily use! I looked for new spice racks and then decided that I still like these the best so purchased some double-sided tape and stuck them back up again.

One reviewer wondered if they will stretch out -They will. A larger bottle can be forced onto the clip and the clip will adjust to fit it. You just have to put the same spice bottle back onto the same clip and it's not a problem. I did notice that, in the 2 weeks it took me to get around to getting the tape to stick them back up with (while they weren't being used) that the clips that were stretched reverted back to their original size.

One reviewer said that you need to heat the glue tape. Mine didn't require that. They come with foam strips that are coated with glue on each side. You just pull the protective paper off and stick them up. (I attached them to the side of a formica covered shelf.) As I mentioned, mine stayed up for 4 years.

For those that don't want to use the permanent adhesive that comes with the clips, or bother with screws, buy some 3M Command strips. I've found them to hold well, and they are easy to remove without damaging most surfaces. Just check the weight limit to make sure the strips you use can support several spice jars. Two or three strips per row should be enough.

After reading that the arms are prone to breaking off, I think I will affix each clip individually, so I can just replace any broken clip without taking down the entire row.

I bought these a few years back. Put them from top to bottom of one of my cabinet doors. Worked great till the little "arms" started breaking off or weakening enough to lose the spice bottle. Now I have about 1/3 of them stuck to my door with no "arms" and I'm still trying to figure out how to remove them without ruining the wood.

These are the perfect solution for easy access to spices without having them on the countertop or backsplash where grease and dust can accumulate on them. **But** be very careful when installing the clips the adhesive is SO strong that once applied, the clip set absolutely cannot be moved without destroying the adhesive and leaving quite a mess on the door.

I have a new Kraftmaid 12 inch cabinet next to the stove. I installed six strips on the inside of the cobinet door. They now hold 24 spice bottles of various sizes and shapes. Each strip of clips fits precisely within the cabinet door opening, but there's no room for error. Wider cabinets can accommodate additional clips, since each strip of clips is scored so that one or more may be removed from a strip to be used along side of another strip or singly.

Before installing them, be sure your shelves are in their final, optimal position within the cabinet because moving a shelf once the clips are installed may leave you with the now immovable clips in the wrong place. Before removing the adhesive's backing, determine which bottles will be on which strips because the strips must be placed so that bottle's tops, bottoms and sides clear both the shelves and the cabinet's fascia when the door is closed.

The clips work much better with light weight plastic bottles heavier glass bottles tend to slip out of the clips due to their weight. But I have been able to use some glass bottles by wrapping several rubber bands tightly around them just above where the clips hold them. The instructions suggest using plastic bottles with a maximum diameter of no greater than 1 ¾ inches, and between 2 and 4 inches in length.

I've ordered additional clips because I now see how many other uses around the home, boat and RV they can have. I'm considering using separated clips vertically in a parallel fashion to hold fishing rods. I'm also considering using them to hold light cleaning tools, small spray bottles and prescription bottles. I may even start saving empty spice jars to use with the clips to store small nails and such in the garage.

When I first got these I loved them. They saved so much room and allowed me to be so much more organized. However they are made of a rather thin plastic and after a while the arms tend to break off and you are left with lots of broken spaces with nowhere to store your spices again. Once again I'm searching for a great spice organizing solution. All in all I would not recommend these due to the lack of long term durability.

Peerless AVL A/V Component Rack System, LARGE/00-00 (Black)

Peerless AVL A/V Component Rack System, LARGE/00-00I had seriously considered buying a Middle Atlantic rack for my in cabinet home theater equipment when this item caught my eye. It had all the features that I was looking for and cost quite a bit less than the similarly configured Middle Atlantic or other brands. I had good experience with other Peerless products in the past so I decided to try it out.

The delivery company (CEVA) did a good job of notifying me both when the cabinet arrived in their facility, when it was ready for delivery and even arranged for a Saturday home delivery. Very convenient.

Then it all went wrong...

While the driver called and arrived at the scheduled time (actually a little early) and the two guys proceeded to unload the box. First thing that I noticed was that the box was upside down in the truck and there was a gash in the cardboard. On further inspection we saw that the cover of the box was loose from the main carton. Next the scheduled weight of the box was supposed to be 166lbs. This is a large overstatement. One guy could easily move it and I was later able to pickup the unit to place it in my cabinet. I would say under 100lbs.

We removed the outside box in the truck and the rack it self appeared to be OK so I signed it off. The guys actually brought the rack down the stairs and into my house which was good.

I started to remove the accessory boxes and that is when I noticed that there was a pretty serious dent in the front right vertical support rail and a few paint scratches. It would appear that the box was removed at some point and placed back on but rotated so that when I looked where the gash in the cardboard box was, no damage appeared. In hindsight I should have inspected closer, but I was anxious to begin the long process of installing the cabinet and equipment as this was the day before Super Bowl and I wanted it done. One of the screws on the top corners had also been stripped out and was gone. I tried to replace with a screw that I had but it appears to be a metric thread.

I was more than a little surprised that there were no instructions of any sort in the packing. While assembly is very straightforward this was a surprise. Similarly there were no assembly instructions on the Peerless website, just a 3D drawing which was all that I needed, but some will find this confusing.

The cabinet itself is as described. It is well made and adequate for all the equipment that I wanted to install. The handles are robust and seriously impressive but the rack would not fit in cabinet with the handles installed. The depth dimensions that are provided on AMZN and Peerless do not account for this.

I am not unhappy with the product but very unhappy with the conditions under which it arrived at my doorstep. IF I wasn't under a crunch to get it installed I would have called and returned it, but didn't

This product is great! I ordered it but it didn't come on time. For some reason the delivery company didn't load it. When I got it, the packaging was good. It's sturdy and looks nice. It has grills to go on the front but I only used two of them because the grills covered my components.

Buy Peerless AVL A/V Component Rack System, LARGE/00-00 (Black) Now

First off, the product itself is nice. Sturdy construction, nice finish, looks nice. The only reasons I'm not giving it five stars is that it came delivered with a dent on the base (fortunately its on the back) and with as big as this is I'm not going through the trouble of returning it. Another reviewer had mentioned the lack of directions; it is fairly intuitive to put together, but would it really be too hard to insert a sheet of paper indicating what each part is for?

Read Best Reviews of Peerless AVL A/V Component Rack System, LARGE/00-00 (Black) Here

The rack is as solid as it looks. The reason I have given the rating is that while the rack came assembled other than the casters, the assembly was really poor. On the top of the rack two of the four screws securing the top to the frame were not screwed in properly. They are severely crooked and stick up more than a quarter inch. I cannot unscrew them to try to instal them properly . They are screwed in so tight that I am concerned that I will strip the top of the screw. Because of this the top is loose.

The provided equipment cord brackets are almost impossible to install.

Climbing Tendril 6-Bottle Wine Rack

Oenophilia 6-Bottle Climbing Tendril Hanging Wine Rack, ChromeWe have remodeled our kitchen and now have a 6 inch wide space between our cabinets and the doorway that just seemed to beg for something to fill it. We have been looking for a wine rack, and this one fits the space beautifully. That said, it would fill a larger space beautifully as well it really commands the area and draws the eye.

It comes in three pieces, shaped in spirals. Each piece has two spirals, which accommodate two wine bottles (for a total of six bottles when fully assembled.) The spirals hook onto one another (think 'barrel of monkeys'). I've experimented with several configurations of the spirals you can make them line up symmetrically so that all the spirals go the same direction, or you can arrange them in a more artsy, tumbled look. Either way, the presentation was quite eye catching in the kitchen, even before I put the wine bottles in place. Best of all, it doesn't take up counter space, and is a very space saving way to store the bottles.

One added note: I debated whether or not to use all three spirals that were included. Ours is hanging from a bulkhead, and it hangs a little bit low. There are several options included in the kit, which inspired me to consider using two spirals in the kitchen and one of the spirals in the basement. Ultimately, we decided to keep it all together, but it could be used as separate pieces. The optional hardware in the kit includes a wall bracket and a ceiling hook both are similar to the kind of hardware you would use to hang a plant in the kitchen. You choose which works better for your space. The optional extender rod is great if you have an extra high ceiling or if you want to use just one of the spirals alone in a different location as I considered. (I also considered giving the extender rod and a spiral to a friend with a smaller kitchen.)

Overall, I find this to be a piece that is as artful as it is functional, and very versatile to boot. And best of all, the price is quite reasonable. Highly recommended!!!!!!

My husband and I are not big drinkers, but we do use wine for cooking. What I like about this product is that in addition to being able to store unopened bottles cork down, you can also use it to store already-opened bottles cork up, which is how we use it (apologies to all of the wine-drinkers out there who are cringing as they read this). I also use it to store opened vinegar, etc., which has helped clear out my cabinets. You just reverse the way the bottle goes in. My only wish is that the bottles hung in a perfectly straight line. This is a more arty, dangling look, whereas I prefer things to be more linear. Still, it does the job that we need it to do very well.

This is a unique and attractive way to display your wine bottles and show a bit of flair. Very fun and pleasing to the eye.

The item looks great. It arrived as ordered. Why did I give it a poor review? Because the top hole in the bracket is aligned with the curved bar that has the hook for the tendrils. You will not be able to screw it in straight with a normal drill and screw bit. So far I have been unable to install it securely. This aspect is poorly designed and is not worth a great rating. If they redesign it and put the factory made hole above the top part of the curve I would give it a much better rating.

Gorilla Rack L-Beam Unit - 5 Shelf

Gorilla Rack GR6-3414-5-IMP 5-Shelf 34-by-14-by-72-Inch Shelving Unit, BlackThis unit is very flimsy. The metal is very thin sheet metal, you can easily bend it with your fingers. They claim you can place up to 250 lbs on each shelf, I wouldn't trust it with 50 lbs on each shelf. The rating, I am sure is for a static load(no movement). With a dynamic load, like if you bump it, I am sure the thing would collapse. There is no cross bracing and if the shelf gets a kink, which will be very easy, its strength is compromised. The corner rails are 2 part and don't go together well at all. I didn't trust the strength of the shelf so I made them into 2 shorter shelves as the instructions suggested as an alternate construction. They are not worth the money. Don't buy them unless you are going to store pillows on them.

This rack is definitely flimsier than previous Gorilla Racks that I have bought. The racks are made with metal only 0.04" thick compared to 0.08" thick on a 54"x36"x12" Gorilla Rack that I have from 5 years ago. The price is still about the same, but the quality isn't. Oh well, I guess that is what you get with "Made in China".

Very flimzey. These are not as heavily built as I was expecting. Would not buy this model again. When assembling the upper legs they continually slipped past the lower legs when trying to get the cross members driven into place. Upon getting them into place I found that the upper leg had slipped past the lower leg and had to tear them apart numerous times before they fit together right and stayed in place. So flimzy that I had to bolt them to the wall to stabalize them.

I got these shelves to stack 6 gallon containers against a hallway wall. The 14 inch shelf depth fit the available space, and the 250 lbs advertised capacity for each shelf fit my needs. The shelves are too flimsy to hold 6 containers, and I had to limit each shelf to 3 containers. The thin particle board cannot support 250 lbs and I will probably need to replace it with plywood.

Because the 3 ft legs must be joined by a shelf, you can only change the shelf spacing within each 3 ft module. I installed the shelf supports upside down to get some extra clearance for two rows of 16 inch tall containers to fit within the remaining 34 inch space. I tried stacking containers on the top shelf of a 3 ft unit and found that the legs began to twist, indicating that they were ready to collapse. There must be a shelf some where near the middle of the 3 ft leg to prevent the twisting.

Joining the 3 ft legs with a butt joint to make a 6 ft tall shelf just looked dangerous. The top leg must stand perfectly on the bottom leg, but because the metal is so thin, the top leg can easily slip off and slide past the lower leg. A shelf is used to lock the legs, but the key hole of the upper leg will actually unlock from the shelf if the top leg slips past the bottom leg. The manufacturer needs to press z angles in the leg ends or supply a guide clip to make the butt joint work. If you need a 6 ft tall shelf, I recommend joining the legs with a 2x2 wood block or angle iron fastened with screws or bolts.

perfect for my basement, not built to take care of extremely heavy loads, but for the price (and currently with free delivery) this is a no brainer. After reading other comments on this product, don't expect the best racks ever / super heavy duty when they are $50 each! Comon now. Yes, it was a little tough to connect the top and bottom on the rack (you will know what I mean once you try to assemble) but if someone helps you for 30 seconds when that time comes in the assembly, it is overall pretty easy to put together, maybe 10 minutes. They are somewhat sturdy in my opinion when fully assembled and joints lightly hammered into place, especially when stacked against a wall versus free standing. Plus they include small metal links that can be used to hold several racks together, which then makes them very sturdy imo.

2 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management SystemThe price dropped as much as 50% compared as when I first decided to purchase it...... the shelves are thick smoked gray as advertised very sturdy product.

I highly recommend this product. And for this product is would be a good ideal to fish your elect and cable plug to hide behind the mounted LED/LCD Screen

Winsome Terrace 7-Piece Storage Shelf/Bookcase, 37 by 11.8 by 30-Inch

Winsome Terrace 7-Piece Storage Shelf/Bookcase, 37 by 11.8 by 30-InchThe baskets I got with this bookcase were very poor quality. They are unraveling all over. They also have two metal pegs on the bottom that scratch the wood finish of the Shelf. i had to Cover the entire bottom of my baskets with felt and line the insides because they scratch and knick everything they come in contact with. The pictured baskets look a lot smoother, nothing like the ones I got. The shelf itself is pretty good quality.

looks more black compared to the rest of my furniture but still looks great! easy to put together. if i had the space i would purchase a 2nd one.

I bought this to serve as an organizational tool for my family. I needed something to hold things that I found randomly around the house. With this unit there is room for everyone to have their own basket. The baskets are light enough with two handles for my kids to carry their own things to their rooms each night. The baskets are made of cornhusk, so they aren't the sturdiest material but they are of a size that would be easy to replace later on if necessary. The unit itself is very easy to put together and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, considering it came in pieces. The back panels are a thin plywood rather than the cardboard you typically find on build it yourself furniture. Overall the piece looks classy and fits in nicely with a contemporary or traditional decor. I do recommend.

I like this shelf a lot. It was pretty easy to put together by yourself (though I think it recommends two people). The baskets are a bit smaller than I would have thought but they're still useful for storage. The whole thing is a lot sturdier than I was anticipating based on the cost.

The color is true to the picture... a dark brown, espresso color which goes great with the similar colored furniture in my apartment.

All in all, I would recommend this product, just make sure that you check all the pieces before putting it together because Amazon cannot send you ONE replacement piece... just a whole new one.
