Akro-Mils 30796 Economy Stacking Nesting Plastic Storage Bin, 8-7/8-Inch Long by 6-5/8-Inch Wide by

Akro-Mils 30796 Economy Stacking Nesting Plastic Storage Bin, 8-7/8-Inch Long by 6-5/8-Inch Wide by 5-Inch High, Black, Case of 10These are very sturdy and very well-priced. Only limitation is that the interior has intrusions from the supports, meaning some of the space can be difficult to use.

I plan to order another set to organize more...

Fantastic products at very competitive pricing. I was able to whip my garage into great form with these parts stacking bins. My small parts have never been so organized as they are now. Being able to buy in bulk

quantity really made it nice. These stack great and the quality really stands out with the label placement area right on the front of each one.

These are also available in many different sizes to suit most needs.

Buy with confidence.

Buy Akro-Mils 30796 Economy Stacking Nesting Plastic Storage Bin, 8-7/8-Inch Long by 6-5/8-Inch Wide by Now

I actually have these organizers on a book shelf in my office that is immediately behind my desk. I am a tech guy and have an unwieldy assortment of stuff...these are great for organizing all the cables and gizmos. Disappointing was having to work out a credit with Amazon because I was short shipped. Don't know whether it was Amazon or the manufacturer, but it was something that Amazon should have noticed in any case. I would give 5 stars, but the design is aimed more at strength and the interior space of the units are compromised as a result.

I was looking for some storage bins, these are great for the price, I may buy some more..

The are sturdy and stack well, although they step back, so they are perfectly vertical.

These are the "economy" line from a major bin manufacturer. However, the quality is still very good. They have a very positive lock when they stack and feel very well made. When stacked, each bin will sit slightly in front of behind the one below it, depending on which holes you align the feet.

60-Inch Black Glass Metal TV Stand

60-Inch Black Glass Metal TV StandFirst of all the product arrives in 2 boxes, one weighing in at 80lbs, the other about 30.

There are four black tempered glass sheets, two large (top and bottom) and two small the two middle shelves. 'Each' of the upright cylinders are made of metal, and once built is very solid.

Assembling the table is very simple, even if the instructions are small and very simple, it goes together quickly. About the hardest part in assembling the unit is removing the protective film from each piece.

On purchase it was said to be delivered in 7-10 days, it arrived in 3, thankfully. I wanted it before the TV arrived, and I just finished building it. More to come when the TV arrives.

Edit: Feb 12th, 2008 --

My TV has since arrived, the Pioneer KURO PDP-6010FD 60" 1080p Plasma HDTV, and it fits quite nicely on the table. The table is quite sturdy and doesn't seem overburdened by the TV which weighs in at about 140lbs.

I wanted to add a bit about the dimensions of the shelves, since that might influence buyers. There are three central shelves seen in the picture. The bottom two are the same dimensions at:

H: 5 3/4"

W: 25 3/8" (18 1/4" pole to pole, ie the space your component would have to fit in sliding in from the front)

D: 19 1/2" (12 3/4" pole to pole)

The top shelf has the same Width and Depth as the bottom two the height is:

H: 6 7/8"

There is an optional plate along the back from top to bottom behind the three shelves, for apparently hiding your cables; which prevents easy access to the backs of your components, but I did note that it is optional and doesn't provide any support so could be easily removed if you desired.

The two large speaker bookshelf compartments to either side of the three shelves are the same in size measuring:

H: 19 1/16"

W: 10 1/8" (the 2 inner shelves protrude into the space)

D: 19 1/2" (12 3/4" pole to pole)

Overall with the large screen atop it, black in color with the black stand, the table is an attractive compliment to the TV.

I purchased this stand for my 70in flat screen TV, and this stand handles it effortlessly. There is ample room for components, including a Tivo DVR, Playstation 3, and XBox 360. Not much else to say, other than I am happy with this purchase.

My title pretty much says it all.

I assembled this without any asstance and admit that there were a few moments when I struggled with the sheer weight of the semi-assembled stand. Once assembled and installed, the stand is very sleek, attractive, and, most importantly, very strong and study. I have a 60" plasma tv placed atop it and it bears the bulk sturdily. Highly recommended!!

quite big

We're happy with our purchase.

First, as some others have stated, this unit is very heavy. The tempered glass is at least 1/4" thick. I put it together myself in about 2 hours. Assembly was a breeze.

The only thing I would suggest is to make the Cable Track in the back should be 16" wide. If you have several components, it is hard to hide all the cords behind the 6" Track.

Zenith Products Nickel 3-Piece Bath in a Box, TP Holder and Door Rack, Pearl

Zenith Products Nickel 3-Piece Bath in a Box, TP Holder and Door Rack, PearlAs a college student, I'm always looking to save some money when considering furnishings for my rental. This arrived within 24 hours after having ordered it, and despite the single bad review, I had faith. This is a great deal for the price, and if you are just looking for some things to make some extra storage around your bathroom, then this is your answer! All the screws fit fine, and the directions were relatively uncomplicated. Thanks for the product!

This is a great product and an absolute bargain for what you are getting! The door hanger and toilet paper holder are standard. The door hooks take two seconds to put together.

The over the toilet organizer was very easy to put together (I think putting together the entire box took me less than 30 mins.). All of the screws fit (you MUST have a screw driver of appropriate size), all the pieces fit, and the instructions are fairly straightforward and simple.

One issue we had was with the placement in the bathroom. Because there is so little space between the wall and our toilet and our cabinet (all of it is maybe 2 feet across), it was extremely difficult and near impossible to screw in the bottom "stabilizing" rod. I somehow managed to put it on and am not sure how I will be it off when we move.

Also, there are two screws to place in the wall to stabilize the shelves. However, due to where our mirror is, we were unable to put one of the screws into the wall. Also, they somehow expect you to get the screws into the wall, but there is no way to hold the screw driver perfectly perpendicular to the wall with the front rod in your way. Again, managed to semi-screw one stabilizer into the wall.

You will need a hammer OR a power drill to make a hole in the wall. I recommend a power drill, but you have to use the hammer and prongs (included) for drywall if you have no studs in the area.

All in all, good buy. Was very happy with it. Color is about exactly what is shown in picture. Clears up the clutter on our sink and makes up for not having any shelves in our bathroom!

This took me some time to put together since the instructions and parts are a bit tricky but now that it's up it looks great. It came with anchors so I don't have to worry about my kids pulling it down also. The over the door rack has brackets that are to wide to fit over my bathroom door when it's closed so I'll probably try and screw it into the door. Tp paper is nice too.

You really get what you pay for here. The materials are so awful, the screws strip easily, the whole thing is extremely wobbly, your only hope is screwing it to the wall really well. It will not stand independently.

I loved this set and it was reasonably priced. The shelf was easy to put together and pretty sturdy. I liked the fact that there were three shelves and the wire bottoms are close enough that I can even set things like picture frames on them. My bathroom is brown and teal, so these fit in perfectly with the decor! Definitely recommend.

BDI Mirage 8222, Enclosed A/V Tower ( Satin Black with Black Glass Top)

BDI Mirage 8222, Enclosed A/V TowerWhile I love this rack I must admit that at $1,000. I think a fair price for this BDI unit would be about around $700.

The unit ships assembled which seems odd; there's really no reason to do this and I'm sure this only adds to shipping and production cost.

The Door and Top are glass. I love how the door has a slow close feature.

The unit is a bit bigger than I thought and I wish they made a unit that was one shelf smaller. I removed the wheels to lower the unit since I won't ever move it more than a few inches.

Overall I like the design and quality but I wish it was less expensive.

Overall well-designed and constructed. Generally as described except for a few issues: 1. The 'open back' or 'removable back' is not all that open. There is a structural frame on the back which will block access to the bottom shelf (where one would logically keep their heavy and highly-connect eqpt.), so access is very obstructed. The removable piece fits within this frame. 2. The casters do not pivot/swivel; they only move forward and back. 3. My unit came with a few cracks on the back but these seem more cosmetic than structural; Amazon rectified the problem. 4. Can't seem to get the door straight. Shouldn't have these issues with $1000 cabinet.

Pros: Its a solid product. I brought it to store equipment for a home theater setup. It looks great! It looks like it was made to match the piano black B & W speakers and other equipment I purchased for this home theater installation.

Cons: The delivery company. I order this under Amazon Prime, two-day delivery. This product was delivered about two or more days late, so it missed my installers. I had to keep calling the company to inquire about the delivery. They kept telling me it was out for delivery and it never arrived. I finally called Amazon and that same night, someone in a pickup truck pulled in my driveway at 7:30 PM. The driver asked me for help to get the item in my front door. After being late, outside his delivery window, and requiring help getting the product inside my front door, I expected more assistance with this hugh box; however, he stated delivery inside the front door was all he was required to do. If I had another source for this product, I would have refused this delivery and took it up with Amazon later. I reviewed the paperwork and discovered this was a two person job but only one small guy in a red pickup truck showed up. I guess I was expecting something more during the holiday season and to make up for the very poor customer service.

Danze D446134BN Sirius 18-Inch Glass Shelf, Brushed Nickel

Danze D446134BN Sirius 18-Inch Glass Shelf, Brushed NickelI am very happy with this, bought two to put up in my remodeled guest bath and they look just great. Seem to be holding (no pun intended) up well, still bright and shiney and glass is clear. Looks sleek and designer.

As advertised, high quality, contemporary and quick delivery. I called customer service to ask about installing with the round edge facing out for safety with small children and she called me back within 10 minutes to confirm it was possible.

Highly recommend this product and Danze as a supplier.

A solid, sturdy, aesthetically pleasing little shelf. And the style comes very close to matching hardware already in the bathroom.

This product was fine, but it was a bit too long/wide for the space. Even though we measured before ordering, the shelf extended out too far. We custom-ordered a 12" shelf from a local glass company because we couldn't find a smaller glass shelf online.

Not easy to install need two people to install due to no room for error in the placement of the ends. Measure and re measure to make sure you are hanging properly. Looks amazing and very modern

Spectrum GL9030OPKIT Wallscapes Glacier 12 by 36 by 3/8-Inch, Opaque Glass, Shelf KitSuch a minimalistic and simple design, it's hard to imagine you can load this shelf up with weight, but you certainly can. I mounted into studs, and it isn't going anywhere.

Very discreet and clean looking and very functional.

Enclume WB-8-HS 8-Inch Wall Bracket, Hammered Steel, Set of 2

Enclume WB-8-HS 8-Inch Wall Bracket, Hammered Steel, Set of 2We had to return this item when it turned out the bracket was actually 9" deep instead of the description that says 8" (it did not fit in the space in our kitchen). It's quite a hefty pair of brackets and no complaints about build quality here. It just didn't work for us because the product description was off.

Summary of measurements in case these will help someone:

Depth: 9" (not 8")

Height: 10" (not 10.5")

Width: 1.5"

Thickness of the metal: between 3/16" and 1/4"

Vertical distance between pre-drilled screw holes: 8.75"

Length of included screws (both wood and drywall with anchors): 2" deep

I have purchased this Brand for many years and am never disappointed. We have remodelled kitchens 3 times in the last 15 years and Enclume products have looked good in every one.

Salamander Archetype 5.0 (Cherry)

Salamander Archetype 5.0
  • Made of Solid Cherry Hardwood
  • Provides 5 shelves along with flexibility of infinite vertical adjustment
  • This is often used as the foundation for an expanded Archetype system
  • Weight Capacity: 250 lbs

I bought the "Cherry wood finish" version from Amazon. Received it in two working days with normal shipping. Opened the box very well packed, and to my surprise, what I found was butcher block colored wood instead of the cherry. The box was marked Cherry so there may have been a mix-up in the factory.

Two of the wood shelves had slight blemishes on them, knot holes that were rough to the touch. Not too big a deal as I just turned them over so when the rack was set up, the blems would faced down.

I got this stand in Cherry color from Amazon for $225 and I think it is a very good deal. Waited for the following weekend, as I knew it would take some time to assemble it. It did take about 1 hour to get it assembled and leveled. But once assembled and setup correctly you are rewarded with a increase in resolution and imaging. I wanted a decent component stand and did not expect the sound to change for good. The images were placed more precisely and the holography of my system did increase a bit. The music seems more focused now compared to the make shift TV stand my components were placed on. This could be because of the Mega Spikes I installed on this stand, which gives it more stability and looks better. For the price I paid, I certainly will recommend fellow audio enthusiasts. I got a deal on the Megaspikes $25. This is the lowest I have seen on them anywhere!! Highly recommended :-)

The stand arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. The quality of the stand is very high both the wooden shelves and the metal parts are all well built. It seems easy to assemble from looking at it, but it does take a long time. Each shelf has 8 nuts and 8 rubber washers that need to be threaded onto the support rods. This takes a long time about two hours to assemble. Also, be careful with the support rods if you bang them together the threads will be damaged and getting the nuts on will be a bear. All-in-all, the time to assemble and the cost is well worth it I have a solid, beautiful, and modern (but not trendy) audio stand. It will house many audio systems over the years.
