Oenophilia Alexander 40-Bottle Cellar Wine Rack

I looked and looked at wine racks. This TOTALLY fits the bill. I am now storing 40 bottles on this rack in a closet I turned into a wine cellar! Well, I am not rich, so I guess I cannot afford a wine cellar, so a wine closet will do! Solid, easy to put up comes with screws that you will need-although, the screws are soft and easy to strip-you might have to get other screws-unless you tap it and drill it out first then you should be fine.

This was the perfect wine rack for our small, space-challenged apartment. We anchored it into the wall and were lucky enough to hit a stud. It is not going anywhere! We used our own wall anchors because the anchors that it came with were a little flimsy. If you plan to anchor it into the wall the bottom securing bar is a little over four inches off the ground. The wall we wanted to put it on has a 5.25 inch base board so we had to find another place to put it which wasn't a problem because it is so narrow. It won't win any awards for style but it's not unattractive.

We definitely recommend this wine rack. You can't beat the price for how many bottles it holds and it's extremely easy to set up.

This is a great unit for basic wine storage and holds more bottles for the given space than anything I have seen. I installed this in a pantry space so the utilitarian appearance is not an issue. That said there a few things to note in addition to the other constructive reviews here.

The width is actually 15.5 inches where the angled supports are attached near the top. A height clearance of 41 inches is needed to utilize the top row. While you may be able to put a couple of 1.5 liter bottles on the top row the width is not designed to accommodate them. All of my 750 ml wine bottles went in ok but champaigne bottles are a tight squeeze and will only fit in the two center positions of each row.

Nice and sturdy, but it doesn't appear that it would be at first. I was a little disappointed that the bottom rows are for small bottles and the top rows is for bigger bottles (but you could put a regular sized bottle in any of them). I thought I'd be able to put my big heavier bottles on the bottom... seems a little backwards to me.

Overall, I'm glad I bought it. I would buy again.

Woodland Products AE48W Architectural Elements 48-Inch Shelf, White Finish

It was packaged nice without any damage what so ever. I didn't have any problems hanging this shelf. Not as sturdy as I would have thought but being it's more decorative and holds little trinkets works just fine for me. READ all the instructions BEFORE you do anything! It's common sense and I had no problem hanging it level in both directions as well as fitting it tight against the wall without any gaps.

I really like it. It is sturdy and the length that I was looking for. However, after attaching it to the wall it actually doesn't hang at a 90 degree angle and is a little bit off. It may just be user error in this case, though :)

Suncast Storage Building

If you are in the market for a vinyl or resin type storage building, this is certainly one worth looking at. There are not a lot of reviews posted on this shed at the present, so take your time and do your homework before choosing any of them. I would advise a visit to your local Lowes or Home Depot to look at vinyl buildings first handed. Regarding building the shed, I built my Suncast 10' x 12' on a 3/4" exterior grade, treated plywood platform and 2" x 6" lumber as opposed to a concrete slab. I used "Dek Blocks" to support the platform, which really made the job easy to level and very strong. I used 27 blocks in total or 3 Dek-Blocks per 10' joist. Making sure the platform is square and dead level is key to building this shed. If you do a good job on the base, the assembly of the shed is really quite simple and even rewarding when completed. Most of the shed snaps together which I found unusual. That concerned me with regards to durability but I have certainly overcome that comfort level. The parts are indeed well built, extremely precise and although some of the parts seem to be quite flimsy out of the box "mainly the walls", once the assembly is completed and all tied together, the shed is really quite sturdy. I followed my own intuition regarding the building of the platform as I found Suncast's instructions quite poor in that area. Common sense will help you through that. Personally, I like the Royal Winchester storage building a tad more as the side walls and roof panels are built using 2" thick material honeycomb resin panels. This building is very solid! The Winchester shed which measures 8' x 10' is sold at your local Lowes. I did not choose this shed as the extension kit to make it 10' x 12' was way too expensive. I hope you find this review helpful. Scott

If you don't want to read my complaint in full please understand who you will be dealing with before you buy a Suncast product. Their products have no warranty. If something fails because the part was defective they won't replace it. Remember -THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THIER PRODUCT. I purchased a Suncast 10' x 12.5' shed (model A01B37C03)six months ago. Myself and a friend built a very sturdy floor (2" x 6" joists covered with 3/4" plywood)at some considerable expense. The assembly instructions were straight forward and we completed the shed in one day. The roof of the shed is supported by 3 metal ridge beams (I understand they are using 5 beams on the latest model). The beams sit in "pockets" in the header panels. The pockets are vinyl as is the rest of the material. I was initially impressed with the materials but now for the rest of the story. I opened the shed door this week to find water on the floor. Further examination found that one of the header beams had collapsed the vinyl pocket and buckled the roof causing the skylights that form the ridge to shatter. The roof was open to the elements. There was no severe storm and nothing was ever placed on the roof. I contacted Suncast to request replacement of the failed header panel and the skylights. They informed me that the shed comes with a "out of the box" warranty. Once erected,Suncast will warranty nothing. THERE IS NO WARRANTY. They will not stand by their product. Clearly they recognized that the design was faulty because they now use 5 beams instead of 3 to support the roof. Don't buy a Suncast shed.

This May 2009 review is for the Suncast Model A01B37C03 10' x 12 1/2' Storage Building -purchased from Amazon. Also see the pictures that I have uploaded.

The most important thing for prospective purchasers to note is that Suncast has substantially improved this shed since it was first released in 2007. While the original shed had only three ridge beams to support the roof, the new Model A01B37C03 sheds now include 5 beams, PLUS an additional header support tube for the rear header. Suncast claims that the roof can now support 15 pounds per square foot, i.e. pretty heavy snowfall. This improvement is significant, and makes a product that was already very good exceptional.

It took only 11 days from the time I ordered from Amazon until the product was delivered to me in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The product is drop-shipped from Suncast in Illinois via freight shipper in my case CEVA who called me the morning the shed arrived in their Baltimore facility and delivered it the same morning. There are four large boxes two of them are perhaps manageable by one person dragging them to the back yard, and the other two are not. The heaviest, with the beams, must be unpacked to be relocated. The CEVA driver was kind enough to help me get the three lighter boxes around back and off of the driveway. The fourth took me about 30 minutes to unpack and repack in the back yard.

I built the wood platform specified in the Suncast manual and used 30 Dek-Blocks (highly recommended) with exterior grade pressure treated 2x6s and 3/4" plywood. Because I was building on a pretty substantial slope, the shed platform took me a full weekend to build and several hundred dollars worth of materials. It is, however, rock solid and level which is critical to the subsequent shed construction. The manual specifies a platform of 10'3" by 12'10", which is what I built. However, the actual shed footprint is only 10' ½" x 12'5 ½', so there will be a bit of platform underhang if built to Suncast specs.

I took a day off from work to build the shed by myself, which certainly can be done. I first unpacked and checked all of the pieces and was extremely annoyed to find that the 4 Male Corner Posts (Part H) and the one Right Hinge Post (Part L) were missing!! However, upon closer inspection, I was relieved to find that the Corner Posts had been snapped together for shipping to the four Female Corner Posts (Part G) and the Right Hinge Post to the Left Hinge Post (Part P). So, if you find that parts seem to be missing, check to ensure that they are not temporarily attached to other pieces! Note that these pieces are only temporarily snapped to the others for shipping, and must be separated and then reinstalled (in the case of the Corner Posts). Once I verified that all parts were present, installation could proceed. As it turned out, Suncast packs EXACTLY what you need in hardware too no more, no less so don't drop any hardware on the ground and lose it.

A few installation observations for those who are interested:

The 42 total Pan Head Screws specified as being used for connecting the floors pieces are accounted for INCLUDING the 4 floor to front/back connecters, NOT the 10 floor pieces alone.

There are no snaps on the roof panels for the U beam connectors on the 2 extra beams now included with the kits. The panels just sit over the connectors, which support them from below.

Make sure you follow the steps for roof panel installation, i.e. second side starts where first side ends NOT back at the rear again.

As others have indicated, the Cupola should be installed BEFORE the last two roof panels are installed.

The roof panels can definitely be installed by one person, because I did it. I wouldn't say it was easy, as there is a certain amount of finessing that might be easier with two persons but maybe not. In any case, they eventually went in and the shed doesn't leak. Make sure the adjoining roof panels snap together you'll need to exert pretty good pressure from underneath with your fingers.

The shutters CANNOT be done by one person even two is a challenge as the 4 screw holes must be lined up perfectly. We used an awl to guide the first shutter screw hole back directly over the corresponding screw hole in the side panel, and then tightened things down from there.

The doors have a nice little feature when they are swung back to the full open position, there is a détente that will engage and keep them from swinging back closed on you. Very nice attention to detail.

My next step will be to hang some 1x4s on the side panels so that I can install hooks, etc. for tools. Since the walls are resin, you obviously cannot put nails directly into the shed walls. Suncast sells metal pieces that snap into the side support rails, but they are costly and I'd need A LOT of them. I suspect that large zip ties threaded vertically through adjacent side support rail holes and then around the 1x4 will be sufficient for this purpose.

Overall I am extremely impressed with the quality of, and value for, this shed. This was certainly my largest Amazon purchase both in terms of size and expense and it couldn't have gone smoother. Highly recommended!!

I'm beginning to think given the 2 positive reviews, that I must have received a defective product. All structural pieces are fiimsy unfinished single layer, the thickness of an inexpensive plastic storage bin. I own several rubbermaid small sheds and each piece is finished so you can hang hooks or shelves, NOT this item. I doubt it will stand up any strong winds and really doubt it could withstand a snowfall. Yes, I have a $1k worth of buyer's remorse and am trying to assist you in not making the same purchase error.

Wow. Its hard to believe that Amazon ships this shed for free. It arrived on a large pallet in 4 big boxes. When I saw the manual I was a little afraid of the amount of time it would take to put it together however It was extremely easy. Infact almost all the pieces snap together and I would estimate it took me 5 hours from the time I started. That includes carrying all the boxes to the back yard & unpacking. I read some other reviews about the sturdyness of the shed but once again I was impressed! I could have bought a 8 x 8 stick built kit at my local hardware store for approx $499 but by the time you buy the extra plywood for the floor, the shingles and tarpaper, and all of the screws and nails PLUS the time building it all I decided this was the way to go and I still think that way after buying it.

Corner 45" TV Stand

Arrived on time in perfect condition; the box, too! Easy to assemble by one person; looks great in the TV room under the 42" Plasma TV. A highlight of the room.

I've owned this corner TV stand for a number of years and it's perfect for medium or small condo living rooms. I've had a 40" TV on it, with additional components on the shelves below. It fits in different decors. A year ago I moved to another condo and the stand was easy to dismantle, pack and reassemble in my new home, and looks as great as it did when brand new. Highly recommend it.

For the price it is a very nice stand and holds my 50" tv just right. I wouldn't put a larger tv on it though. Probably should have gotten one with the dark legs because this stand almost disappears in my room which may not be a bad thing.

Shelf on Wheels Expandable Kitchen Pantry Roll Out with Wheels

I have looked at several options as a pull out source for the bottom of my pantry as I have a few large bags of flour, sugar, salt, rice, beans..etc. This item had what I thought I was looking for, which was basically keeping food off the floor and having a way to slide the items out for use when needed. When I saw the picture of what this rack indeed was supposed to hold, I was sold. For $60 it has to be strong, and the pic has a watermelon, big bag of onions, bag of potatoes, 5lbs of sugar....surely this is sturdy, right? Wrong. Item is infinitely smaller than it seems, even expanded to it's fullest size. The caster wheels are cheap plastic and the metal bows down when heavy items are placed in the basket. The "wings" that expand bow down too so all heavier items need to be in the middle portion. Too much of a hassle to return so I am keeping it, but please find another product for this price. I think $30 tops would be a fair price for this, and I'm being generous.

I've been looking for a long time for a rolling shelf for a storage area at work. This seemed to fit the bill. However it is very flimsy and poorly made. It is definitely NOT worth the $65 (cost plus shipping). After assembly (not much to do but very awkward) I tried to put the items I wanted to store (boxes of coffee and plastic spoons, etc.). The weight of the boxes made it almost impossible for the wheels to roll. I guess it would be OK if you wanted to store a plastic bag of Cheerios or a box of cotton balls (the photo is misleading). It's too much trouble to send back (disassembly, repacking, paying to ship), which is probably what they're counting on. I'll try to find another use for it somewhere else, but I would recommend against anyone buying this shelf.

What a great idea for ground level storage. We keep our dry cat food containers on the floor of the pantry and this makes retrieving them a whole lot easier than trying to reack under the shelving that is just above it. Now we just grab the handle and it all glides out for easy access.

Sauder Edge Water Panel TV Stand

I bought this TV stand for a 46" TV. My 14 year old son put it together in about 2 hours. Goes together great pre-drilled holes are perfect and everything matches up exactly where it's supposed to be. I highly recommend this TV stand you won't be dissappointed. For the money it looks every bit as nice at TV stands that are $300 and up!

I searched high and low, far and wide to find a nice media console that wouldn't break the bank. I am extremely pleased with the product. It shipped quickly and was not damaged as a few consumers reported in their reviews. I assembled it alone, so it took a while, but if u have help it should be easy. I suggest laying out and pre-labeling all the parts so u know they are all there-some parts.weren't clearly labelled or either not labeled at all but it easy to figure out by comparison with the diagram in the book. I highly recommend this product!

Great construction and solid build. Looks very nice.

The only knock, and it's trivial, is that if you run a lot of hot devices in it due to it's closed construction you can get some heat build up. This isn't a knock of the model, but just of the closed-off older style classic design. It's not so bad on ours but is noticeable.

The body is a mix it looks like of real wood and heavy duty press board: very solid. The backing is the typical ultra-heavy sort of thick cardboard/woody material you see these days, that you nail into the frame. There a couple of holes pre-formed into it for running wires into it. I imagine just opening up these holes some more would allow enough heat to bleed off, but I'm not sure what it would do to the strength of the unit. If the vendor sees this they should respond.

We had a more modern open-faced metal and glass entertainment stand in our living room, but with a crawling baby short of putting an ugly fence around it there was no way to baby proof the modern open-face one.

This thing is a piece of cake to baby proof: put a restraint on the cabinet doors, on the drawers if needed, and toss an earthquake strap on the back, which I'll be doing this weekend.

After our 5 year old broke our last tv on a stand that had wheels and knocked a component loose, we decided we couldn't get a new tv until we had a stable stand. This piece looks nice. My husband put it together pretty easily, except the doors are a little tricky to line up right, as there is not much room for error. It is very sturdy and looks nice. Doors work easily. We keep a cable box, modem, router and a PlayStation 3 in the glass shelved part. It usually does not overheat; however, a couple times we've heard fans and open the door, which solves the problem.

Atdec Visidec VF-AT-NK Focus Monitor Arm Single to Support Displays Up to 24 Inch (Polished)

This arm works very well for my 15" macbook pro. It's construction is solid and I trust it with my expensive mac. These arms look great and are strong. Plus they have several well designed features like a built in place to store the alen wrench you need to adjust them.

However, it isn't quite as solid as I'd like. I'm focusing on the improvements I'd like to see, but don't be put off this really is a 4+ star product.

* It wiggles as I type

* the Arm isn't tight enough around the pole it has about 1-5 degrees of play. This isn't too bad gravity pulls it down to the lower end of the range, but it means the laptop sits crooked enough that I notice. This can be resolved by taking apart the arm just below the laptop and loosening the swivel screen so you can rotate the laptop tray without moving the arm don't overlossen, you still want this adjustment stiff. Small swivel adjustments in this away allowed me to bring my laptop back to perfectly level.

* The "feet" that stop the laptop from sliding off are way too tall from my macbook by more than 2x. I've found a way to position them so they don't get in the way too much, but still bump in to them often. It would be nice if there were two sizes of feet to choose from.

* You can't slide the arm up and down the pole easily. I was hoping for a quick release mechanism so I could adjust the hight if I wanted to sit or stand. It takes a lot of effort to get it into position and locked down. Once you get it right, you won't want to adjust it again.

Sometimes you pay more and and do not seem to get the value you expected out of an item.

In this case, its pricey, but it really works quite well, heavy metal components; when you tighten something it stays tight.

It would be nice to have bit more degrees of freedom on the notebook mount itself, and sure I would like it to be rock solid (which it is not) but I have no fear at all that it will suddenly shift or that the notebook would drop off.

make sure to keep an eye on which kit you are buying, some include the main mounting pole, and some do NOT...

pricey, but it works well...

I originally bought the pole and arm setup (Visidec Focus Articulated Monitor Arm to Support Displays Up to 24 Inch) for just my my 24" monitor, which works as intended, but after a while I noticed a slight lean due to the weight of the screen. I'm a big guy, 6'5", so I need my monitor a bit higher than most people and had to put the arm a bit higher on the pole. I'm sure this adds to the lean as well.

I also have a 17" Alienware laptop, or as i call it, my small boat anchor, that need a home on my desk somewhere.

With this arm my setup is well balanced. It accommodates my beast of a gaming laptop and my monitor, but just barely. And I mean JUST barely.

If you have heavy items like I do, I would highly suggest that you drill the 1/8 hole in your desk and install that route. The C-clamp bracket thing should work fine if you have smaller ticket items.

Again, great product for the cost and just because it says it can take a laptop up to 17lbs and 24" monitors doesn't mean you have to.

The visidec monitor arms are great, but this monitor arm with the notebook stand seems to have a slight lean to it which is really annoying. My monitor arm tightly fits and the monitor is straight, but this arm doesn't seem to be as tight around the pole which allows the notebook to lean from left to right. Other than that slight annoyance, i believe this is a great product.
