GSC Base Utility Cabinet

GSC Base Utility CabinetThis is a nice storage cabinet. Not sure how the dimensions were listed in the product description, but it is a little larger than I expected it to be. It'll work well in our garage for extra stuff. I wouldn't recommend moving it around much once it's in place. The feet don't seem to like to stay on, but once it's in place it's very useful.

Very dissatisfied. Pieces loose in box more broken than not. I understand you get what you pay for but I expected something better than this. Will not be ordering from this maker again.

ClosetMaid 12-Inch ShelfTrack Locking Shelf Bracket, White #2853

ClosetMaid 12-Inch ShelfTrack Locking Shelf Bracket, White #2853Great heavy duty bracket with nice white finish . Real Closetmaid quality with perfect fit. The shelfFrack system lets you adjust/install the brackets and shelfs at different heights without reinstalling supports in the wall. Quick change in an ever changing world.

I purchased several dozen of these brackets for the purpose of installing an ADJUSTABLE shelving system in one of my closets. Each bracket was about $3.15 while HomeDepot charged $4.57 each. This represented a significant savings. I was pleased that the transaction went without any problems. For me, one out of every 3 or 4 online purchases seem to result in catastrophe, leading me to believe that online sales will eventually fall as people get fed up with being burned.

I will purchase many more brackets again in the future from this seller.

Thank you,

Ken

My family and I had recently moved into a new home in which one of the bedrooms had a Closet Maid closet storage system. In order to best utilize the shelves for my daughter's closet, I needed two more of these brackets. It was helpful to have the brand name and product number on the side of the brackets we already had so I knew what to look for. The two extras I purchased at Amazon snapped in place just like the other ones, and now my daughter's closet is secure.

Casino Gaming Bar

Coaster All in One Game Table/Bar Unit with Wine Shelves, includes, Roulette, Blackjack and Craps, Oak Wood FinishI had my fears this would be a shabby plywood assembly with cheap game tables, but they were unfounded. The quality is impressive. Everything is heavy and feels solid. The game tables are great and the wheel isn't as crappy as I feared. I'm very happy with this table. I took a star off because the wood is a darker color than oak. It might just be stained darker than the picture. It's not that big a deal. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase.

Well made, attractive, lots of fun! We tucked it into an alcove and slide it out when friends come over -everyone has been surprised and delighted!

I love this bar! It was easy to put together and I did it alone. It was very well packaged and the wood is very nicely finished and sturdy. I am very happy with the price and product. The only problem I had putting it together was that the G and E boards were marked wrong. I would recommend this bar/game table to anyone!

Stanley Utility Shelf Bracket Grey

Stanley Utility Shelf Bracket GreyCertain members of my family have claws and paws. They have a tendency to traverse the tallest wood fence. On a clear day with direct eye contact, the word "no" strikes terror in their hart and detours them from attempting extrication.

However, in their mind, no eye can penetrate to the rear fence covered with privets. The most agile body can not penetrate the hedgerow in time to prevent escape once you here the "escape or die" sound coming from some wild animal that you just thought was domesticated.

So with well-spaced brackets (one on each post), some screws and fishing line, places behind the privets, you level the playing field. They almost make it to the top of the fence and turn to you with a "what have you done?" look.

Washington Lazy Susan Components positioning stop

Washington Lazy Susan Components positioning stopI needed to replace broken parts on the original unit in my home. 19 years later it was a perfect match

I used this to repair an old 'lazy susan' corner base cabinet. The old hardware in the cabinet had given up the ghost after 40 years, and the parts were no longer made to repair the unit. This provided the stop needed to position the cabinet doors in the closed position and it works well.

Cambre DW1W-BC Sky Shelf On Wall Double Wide Wood AV Shelf System

Cambre DW1W-BC Sky Shelf On Wall Double Wide Wood AV Shelf System
  • Easy to install
  • Customizable to fit most any wall space
  • Reversable Cherry or Espresso finish
  • Includes 12" of wire management "wire wraps"
  • Holds up to 100 lbs

I gave it such low reviews because I ordered and returned this. In my opinion it is ridiculously over-priced. It is a piece of wood (maybe even fake wood) and a few brackets. No reason in the world it should cost over half ($84.99). Decided to build one, a much larger one for less than the $169.99.

Over the Sink Shelf - Bronze

Over the Sink Shelf - BronzeYou can get this VERY SAME (same pic and everything) from The Lakeside Collection (google it) they ask 14.95 and have the rest of the collection that goes with it, also 14.95 each....Think about it.

I love this piece, I just wish the paper towel holder was on the other side. However, I was able to turn it around and it works well with my kitchen décor.

I bought this so that my cat could sit on it and enjoy the morning Sun. While it is too low for my fauset to open all of the way, I still can use the faucet without much trouble. It is well made, looks great, and is strong enough for my 10 lb cat.

Nice product to help with clutter and add a small plant, but not as sturdy as I had hoped for. It was not tall enough to fit over our faucet so we cut a hole and then it fit.

Ok, I'm sure everyone mentioned this, but the instructions have NO WORDS on them, just pictures and you better be smart or you might not figure it out lol. It took me about 30 min to put this together. I think the towel part is cool but really it isn't functional because of how close it is to the water in the sink. If you have dirty dishes, your whole towel roll will be done for. Besides that, it's sturdy, holds my things, and I would still recommend it to people.

Spice Organizer

Spice OrganizerI bought this as a gift for my mom. It was easy to install and it fit perfectly. She's had no complaints with it so far and it has made things much more accessible now.

This is a great addition to the kitchen! We love how easy it is to use and how accessible everything is. My cupboard is now neat and organized. We have a small kitchen, so this helps make sure our space is used efficiently. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs help with space saving and/or organization!

My wife loves it. My daughter loves it. Simple to use, great storage, saves space and easy to locate your spice. No more fuss in finding the right spice when you are cooking. A simple product but a brilliant concept in kitchen cabinet organization. Every kitchen should have one or two.

I bought the spice organizer and love it. It is everything it claims to be and more. It was easy to install and is easy to use. It functions very smoothly and makes it so easy to get to the spices at the back. My spices are now organized and easily retrievable! What's more, they are all visible at the same time and I know exactly where each one is stored. I appreciate that I can store larger spice bottles together with the standard sizes. Also I am so glad that I no longer need a step ladder to get to the spices at the back of the cabinet. I just love the design concept.

Spectrum WRW824 Wallscapes Woodridge 8 by 24 Inch by 1-3/4-Inch, White, Shelf Kit

Spectrum WRW824 Wallscapes Woodridge 8 by 24 Inch by 1-3/4-Inch, White, Shelf KitI bought this to put in my guest bathroom which is kind of small. This is a definite space saver and the craftmanship is excellent. This is now the highlight of my bathroom and gives it more of an elegant look. Would have been better if it came with anchors as the screws they came with were long and not the best with drywall. Overall it's a nice shelf.

The shelf is of nice quality and craftsmanship and it does come very well-packed.

But the bracket, which is arguably the most important aspect of a shelf of this type, is the weak link. It is relatively thin and bends and twists easily, and there are only holes at the ends of it; no series of holes along the length to allow for fastening the bracket to at least one stud--and this is a must with this type of "floating" shelf. As a result, once you have decided on the desired location of the shelf on the wall, the chance of a stud being where the holes of the bracket are located are very, very slim. Installation with drywall anchors is inadequate, and as a result the shelf ends up sagging noticeably.

We ended up returning a set of these and purchasing on-floating shelves with a standard type bracket from IKEA.

I ordered these to put towels on in a small bathroom to get rid of a traditional over the tank metal rack. I'm so glad I opted for these shelves! If I fold my towels in fourths, they fit beautifully and they have really tidied the appearance of my bathroom. These were a great investment!

There is a wall bracket that you are supposed to screw to the wall, and then slide the shelf onto. Unfortunately, the manufacturers decided to package the screws INSIDE the bracket and they are stuck -when the bracket was cast, a glob of metal ended up over the hole. I have to go out and buy new screws in order to install this shelf.

Plus, the finish isn't the greatest. There are weird streaks and globs of yellow where the varnish was put on too thick. Definitely not worth the money I spent. I am very disappointed.

The shelf is good looking but the screws are packed inside the rods that hold the shelf. They are IMPOSSIBLE to get out so I will have to get some new screws and leave the screws that came with the shelf inside it forever. VERY poor planning.

Chesterfield Medicine Cabinet

Elegant Home Fashions Chesterfield Collection Medicine Cabinet with Waffle Pattern Glass Door, EspressoReasonable quality (some marks on glass I couldn't get out), arrived just fine. A bit of a pain to assemble. Parts were labeled well, but diagram could have been clearer (too easy for novice like me to get a shelf upside down!). But I'd definitely buy it again at the price.

It was a bit difficult to assemble, but excellent quality and just right as it was advertised.

Thank you

This is a great little cabinet, sturdier than I thought it would be and really nice looking.

The color of the one we received is MUCH different than the online photos. It's listed as "espresso", which can mean different colors to different companies. In this case "espresso" is nearly black, not the cherry-like color in the photos.

We're using this cabinet as a spice cabinet in our kitchen, and it works for us since we have ebony-type accents.

It's a really nice piece; it just doesn't look like the photo.

Maybe I am old fashioned but I like instruction to be in english with pictures rather than just pictures. It helps to ID front/back etc. each panel does have a letter to correspond to picture but didnt even explain what gets the glue (assumed wooden towel rods). It wobbles and doesnt close well. My mistake that I thought this had a lock, cant fault them for that. If I had my choice I would not have bought this.

It's a well made clean design that I'm using it in the kitchen. The only problem is the door hings are only in one side so it only opens from left to right and so you can't change it. I'm using it upside down so it works for me.

Creative Connectors Decorative Wooden Shelving Kit

Creative Connectors 6990312 Decorative Wooden Shelving Kit, 24-Inch, WhiteVery easy to install, very high quality shelf for the money. Got the white color and 35" long one. The way it is cleverly designed, the supports locking internally. I will buy more in the near future.

The people who gave this a negative review obviously have no skills whatsoever. It was easy to put together and works perfectly. The three pieces are not attached, and it does take a little measuring and thought to line the braces up with the base. I recommend a chalk line to make everything level. For the negative reviewers... go to Target and buy a pre-made set. I bet you won't get it as level as I got this item.

If you take your time with the install, this shelf works well. I wouldn't recommend for someone with limited tools (levels, drills, squares). The tape used to hold it all together during shipping took some of the finish off.

Easy to assemble, good looking and sturdy. It's just what I was looking for. Only thing I didnt like is that the picture online made it look more mahogany than walnut colored (which would have matched my decor better), but I'm still happy about this purchase.

Want Creative Connectors Decorative Wooden Shelving Kit Discount?

First of all, the instructions that come with the product are pretty vague regarding installation. Second, the tools provided aren't enough to hold up the shelf by itself. The basic gist of it is that you screw the bracket to the wall, slide the "L shaped" part of the shelf on the bracket and then pop the actual flat part of the shelf on top. I had to purchase additional screws for added support because the brackets did not hold up the "L shaped" part of the shelf on its own. Both would slide off, so I resorted to screwing the "L shape" to the bracket instead.

They look good now that they're finally up on the wall, but frankly I don't think they were worth the trouble (I bought the 35 1/2 inch and 24 inch shelves). They took quite some time to arrive at my home and installation was a hassle. You're better off buying shelves at your local Target or Ikea.

John Louis Home JLH-522 Standard 12-Inch Depth Closet Shelving System, Honey Maple

John Louis Home JLH-522 Standard 12-Inch Depth Closet Shelving System, Honey MapleFirst, the 16" model is available at Target for $479.99 (but we did have to pay a 5% sales tax)

The instructions are reasonably straight forward but should be read very carefully and:

(1) Make sure that you do not block any electrical outlets with the shelving by planning ahead and

(2) If you can find studs do so, plastic anchors they supply are OK, but the whole system is cantilevered (that is no support on the floor) so you have to be in solid to the wall, especially at the one bracket end.

(3) Finally when installing the tower brackets do make sure that they are the right distance apart AND in proper alignment to the top brackets that were the first step in installation, otherwise you might have the top shelf resting on only PART of the tower (it will work but not look "finished."

Also, you will need a 10 foot ceiling to hang two clothes racks in the same bay, on an eight foot ceiling you will be out of luck there is just not enough vertical space to do it.

It was easier than wire shelving. The supplied hollow wall anchors are so-so. Using a cordless drill, hammer, and miter saw speed things up. If you are lucky enough to have straight walls, you shouldn't need the hammer. If you don't want arms like Popeye, get a drill (all fasteners are screws). This system also gives you a perfect excuse to go buy a laser level. Once the tools are collected and the plan is FINALLY agreed upon, the closet can be installed and used in under a day.

We bought one kit for a 7' reach-in closet and had to modify it a bit because the instruction book gives suggestions for 10' and 8' layouts. I'd recommend a circular saw for cutting shelves and rods if your closet is not exactly 8' or 10'. Also not on the "required tools" list were a stud-finder and a drill. We found drilling pilot holes to be appropriate in some cases, and the large numbers of screws made using our drill a must. The wood is soft and frayed slightly when cut. Because of that, and a few nicks during installation, the included touch-up stain came in handy. Also useful was a transparent grid which allowed us to play around with different layouts before we ever began. Installation took two handy people about 6 hours, partly because of the limited space in the closet. I'd recommend removing the closet doors if you're not installing in a walk-in. I'd also HIGHLY recommend reading the instructions all the way through before beginning, laying out all the materials and labeling the bags of screws by length, and taking your time. This is not a job that can be rushed. When complete the closet looked great and the system is very sturdy.

When you open the packaging you will know you made the right call. Each piece meticulously wrapped so the wood doesn't get marred in transit, they give you plenty of good screws and good anchors (not those junky ones that come with most kits), it comes with a stain touch up marker for if you custom cut one of the shelves, the instruction book cames with many layouts and a clear sheet to transfer and alter for custom fits so that anyone with the tiniest bit of patience can install and that someone handy can install quickly without making a silly mistake on cutting.

How hard is it to install?

Two chicks with a drill and a saw installed a perfect closet in one day without a problem. This was with making it exactly how we wanted it and an hour of obsessing over whether we wanted the long hanging items on the left or the right. This is an easy as it could possibly be made.

It is also very forgiving to small errors (or crooked walls) because of the way the long pieces cover.

Any tricks?

one trick to mention: there are two sets of small screws that look almost identical they aren't. Each type comes in their own baggie, so really this is just for the people who do like I do, say "we need the 3/4 screws for this" and don't check to see if there are two types of 3.4 inch screws. I accidently used some of the ones with the larger heads to early because of that mistake and the small heads don't work for the later install items. It is a bone head mistake, just trying to help anyone else avoid. Manufacture can't prevent boneheads, but they do provide enough screws that it is okay to make quite a few mistakes of this nature.

My husband and I are delighted with this solid wood closet organizing systerm. It's classy and beautiful--unlike the tacky particle board, plastic or wire systems in most stores. There's room for everything and more than one unit can be put together to fit any closet. Plus, shelves and towers can be purchased to fill any gaps. Would recommend this to anybody!
