8 Foot Wide x 4 Foot Tall Garage Storage Cabinet Kit with 8 Padded Storage Hooks and 2 Ladder Hooks
Bottom line: Too much work for utility cabinets; I should have just bought some used kitchen cabinets and hung them on the garage wall. I need to get some additional brackets to support the center of the inside shelves lest they sag. NOTE: Plywood alone cost over $100 from Home Depot, that's in addition to the cost of the kit.

Home Styles Premium Buffet with Wood Top
If it was not for the quality of the material and how nice the end product looks I would give this a much lower rating.
Buy Home Styles Premium Buffet with Wood Top Now
We needed a piece of furniture for a little storage space, cookbooks, and wine bottles. It couldn't be too deep because of the size of the room and the location of the dining table. This unit works perfectly. My husband was away when it arrived and I assembled the whole thing all by myself! That means it was really simple. It feels very sturdy and is quite a bargain compared to what we were able to find in brick and mortar stores. It arrived ahead of schedule in perfect condition. We definitely recommend this item.Read Best Reviews of Home Styles Premium Buffet with Wood Top Here
This is a beautiful piece of furnature. Everything I expected. Was a ton of peices. And although it does not say it, you may need a power drill for parts. I followed the directions pretty closely, but at times you have to deviate. I put the base together alone, but needed help for the gtranite top. That is the hardest and heaviest part. Recommend two strong guys for that part.This is a beautiful piece of furniture, which is not what you can typically say when you've got a "put together yourself" piece. :-) It's solid, well made and just gorgeous! The instructions were not very good, but we still got it figured out. I'd recommend it to anyone! It would be helpful to have two people put it together, though.Friday, June 6, 2014
70" TV Stand
I mistakenly thought that other than the 2 clear glass shelves, the remainder was made of metal. It actually consists of 2 clear short shelves, 2 long black tempered glass shelves that comprise the top and bottom, and on the back, 3 metal plates with holes designed to guide your cords/wires out behind the stand.
As they are the screw-in rather than snap-in type of casters, I found installing them to take longer than any other aspect of assembly. Unlike another reviewer, I noticed no off-odors from my casters.
Full specifications:
Dimensions: 62" W x 21" D x 23.25 " H
Usable Center Shelf Space:
Middle shelf : 18.25" W x 18.5" D x 8.5" H
Bottom shelf :18.25" W x 18.5" D x 8.5" H
Usable Left & Right Shelf Space:
Middle shelf : 19" W x 18.5" D x 8.5" H
Bottom shelf :19" W x 18.5" D x 8.5" H
Weight capacity:
Top shelf: 200 lbs
Middle shelf: 80 lbs
Bottom shelf: 250 lbs
My purchase is not going to show as a verified Amazon purchase, but I did buy it from WebMall2000, just from a different website The package came breakage proof. Needed a second pesron to put it together, as the glass boards are very heavy. Have storage for all devices. Bought 2 black canvas baskets for the DVDs and it looks great! Thanks to its wheels it can be moved easily for cleaning.Was delivered a couple of days ago. I assembled it immediately. I did have to go to the manufacturers website to get the assembly instructions. Which only took a few seconds. It was easy to put together. The glass is heavy and may take two people to assemble. Once it is assembled there are wheels on it, so that you can move it to whatever wall you want without lifting it. It goes perfect with my 70" Vizio Smart TV. The stand is high enough so that the TV is level with you when I am on my sectional. I could not have found A better stand.,Excellent purchase. Holds my 70" television, my computer, and all of my components perfectly. Looks very sharp. I highly recommend. Heavy, good-looking, solid and stable glass design. A wet towel to wipe up dust is all that's needed to keep it looking shiny. Great value.

TRINITY EcoStorageTM 6-Tier NSF 48"x18"x72" Wire Shelving Rack w/wheels - Chrome
Update 10-12-10.....A year plus has gone by....obviously they have changed their product according to the recent reviews....my review was accurate at the time it was written....things change, but after my experience, I want to see what I'm getting. And the person from Trinity that said Costco never sold "Trinity" products, I suggest you do your homework before you make a statement that is not truthful, I just, at this writing checked Costco website, there are 7 Trinity products available from Costco.com....and at a cheaper price too!!!!I put this rack together a few nights ago and I *love* it! I don't know how much, in terms of weight, I've put on it but each of the shelves is full of many different things from kitchen appliances to books to games, and so on and so forth. I have no doubt that these shelves would be able to hold upwards of 500 pounds on each! The rack was not only really easy to assemble, but adjusting the shelf height, even after I'd set the entire thing up, was also really easy! It was a breeze to move the interlocking mechanisms that secure the shelves in place.
Much like C. Lin, I, too, am uncertain that the first reviewer bought the same shelf. He states that there is no reinforced center on the shelves but mine definitely has them. I would definitely get more of these should the need arise!!

I chose this product because it was reasonably priced. I am so glad I purchase it. It was extremely easy to assemble. The design is wonderful. I am using it to store food in my pantry. It holds everything easily. I have quite a bit of weight on the shelves as I am storing home-canned goods. The shelves are adjustable. I am using the wheels but there are also optional stationary legs. The wheels work great. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone.While researching for racks for my garage, I found these and due to the price, I decided to buy these despite one of the reviews being negative.Shipping was fast, building was simple, and I found that there was a reinforced center and Ive been able to put my weights on there with no sagging.
Great product, great price, no problems.
Want TRINITY EcoStorageTM 6-Tier NSF 48"x18"x72" Wire Shelving Rack w/wheels - Chrome Discount?
I bought 4 of these, (2 for starters, then 2 more a week later) One out of the 4 arrived with a bent shelf, no fault of the manufacturer, it had been manhandled on delivery. I straightened it myself, not wanting to wait since it was a holiday weekend and I wanted to use them.Setup was easy. Since they are chrome I waxed them first to make sure the finish was clean and so they would stay polished without fingerprints. Installation was very easy, the uprights have double rings regularly spaced that can be used for counting where to put the plastic shelf locks to make sure you have them all at the same height without having to readjust them.
Build quality is good, I put the casters on mine, to make it easy to move for cleaning. The height was great, I've got storage to the ceiling, no dead space. I've had my shelves about 3 weeks and so far, they are great. I happened to catch a sale and got a 25% discount, so whats not to like?
I'll likely buy more for the basement as well. Comes with a wrench, not really needed, since the threads will thread together by hand. One spare plastic shelf mount, in case you break one, and though I bought the style with casters, they included leveling pads in case I didn't want to use the wheels.
I quite like them, they add a clean look to the rooms, and will outlive me I'm certain.

Suncast ACS24 Corner Shelf
Buy Suncast ACS24 Corner Shelf Now
I assembled the shed last summer, and I decided to install the shelves this year. In theory, installing the shelves should not take any more than five minutes. In reality, I spent almost an hour trying to make these dam# things work. I have the shed on a concrete slab, so it is level. The shelves will only install on certain levels in the shed, so don't expect to have them as high as the slots are in the shed. If every slot lined-up perfectly, and if you choose a very hot day to allow the plastic shed to flex, installation may not be a problem. However, I would imagine that this scenario is not an option for most people. With the help of a rubber mallet, I was able to install one shelf fairly well, and the other installation was passable, at best. Part of the clips on two brackets broke, but that did not seem to interfere with the installation. One shelf would not lie perfectly flat, unless some weight was put on the shelf. I suppose this is the problem with plastic shelves. Possibly, by using a utility knife, you may be able to make some of the slots wider order to have the shelf sit firmly. I believe if I would have installed the shelves when the shed was first assembled, I would've had an easier time installing them.Bought my shed from Amazon a few years ago and the only thing it was lacking was shelf space. Well, this solved that issue! I love these shelves! Easy enough to install, though it did take a little coercing to get everything to line up and connect but I would expect that with a 4 year old shed that has settled. I've got a gallon gas can as well as many other items on it and no issues at all.Ultimately these little shelves accomplished what I needed to do: free up some floor space and help me keep things organized in my garden shed. Loss of a star is due to two things. First, as was the case when I put my shed together and I've read from several others, Suncast continues its tradition of having at least one hole or slot not line up quite right. A persuasion instrument, i.e. a rubber mallet, was required; I think even then one of the shelf supports was not locked in when I set the shelf in place. Second, due to the configuration of the brackets and the holes available on the inside wall of my shed, I couldn't put the shelf height exactly where I wanted it. I needed to go a bit higher than was my original plan. They are still great to have in there, and I would certainly rather have purchased and installed them than have not.Monday, October 21, 2013
Creative Connectors Trio Wall Mount Shelves, Modern Bracketless Shelf Set, Walnut
wooden connectors was missing, so we cut one of the remaining ones in half, which seemed to work.
To assemble, simply place the supplied paper template on the wall, poke holes with a screw or whatever, then drill holes.
We purchased some wall anchors (about $2) for extra support, so we pushed those into the holes by hand,
then screwed in the connectors. At that point, all you do is slide the shelves onto the connectors.
Once you do it, you will be amazed at just how easy it is and will fly through a second instal if you purchase more than one.
We're happy with the unit. Would have given it 5 stars if it would have had the missing piece and if it would have included the
wall anchors.I first ordered these from Amazon, and they all arrived damaged with chipped and cracked veneer. This was due to a poor packing job at the Amazon warehouse. The box arrived in terrible shape, and I had to return them. I liked the idea so much, I decided to try my luck again, and order from Stacks & Stacks (via Amazon). They actually packed them correctly at their warehouse, and they arrived undamaged. They were easy to assemble, and I really love that there are so many creative ways to arrange these. These shelves are really unique, and a great alternative to other hanging wall shelves. I wanted to display some larger collectibles, and most nic-nac shelves are only about 3 inches deep. Also, these can hold a lot of weight. Each smaller shelf piece is about 7x7 inches, which works great to display blown glass, pottery, collectible plates, picture frames, etc. My only advice, if you order these through the mail, is that you inspect them carefully for damage when they arrive.

This shelf is made of sturdy wood and came with a template to assist in hanging it on the wall. My husband loved that part as it took all the hard work out of mounting. The entire shelf would have been up on the wall in about 10 minutes but, unfortunately, we were missing a mounting bracket. Thankfully the company who makes the shelf was wonderful and sent us a new one without any issue. Would definitely recommend this shelf and/or any others this company makes.This was an excellent solution to my storage problems. It was affixed to the wall next to my vanity. I didn't have room there for anything that would be set on the floor as it would block the register. This gives me plenty of room to set my stuff. I didn't install it myself, my husband did say it was hard to install, but it really looks great.Want Creative Connectors Trio Wall Mount Shelves, Modern Bracketless Shelf Set, Walnut Discount?
I didn't realized I would have to assemble the shelves myself plus the sauder "wood" had chips all over it. I had purchased it as part of a Christmas gift and ended up returning it all together.Wednesday, September 18, 2013
4 Tier Shower Caddy Tension Pole with Snap-N-Fit Technology
*I just want consumers out there to be aware of my personal experience with this company, and hopefully it will be of use in their decision-making process.I purchased this item elsewhere and had a heck of a time with it. If you use all four bars, it's too tall. If you use only three, it's too short (this is going from tub to ceiling, not floor to ceiling). Then to top it off, it started rusting within 3 days. Shouldn't something that's made for the tub be rust-proof???
The only good thing about it is it does what it's supposed to do, it holds bath accessories. Once I got it in the shower, that is. Since the 4th bar made the pole too tall, I had to place it in the tub with just the three bars and bunch up hand towels under the bottom of it to hold it in place.

I think Better Bath must have had a contest to find the worst possible set of instructions for how to assemble their bath and shower caddy. The instructions really shouldn't be that complicated. A simple, large diagram with annotations should have sufficed. Instead, it's 10 steps (well, 11 because there's a 3 and 3B) that barely make any sense.Fortunately, i've put a few of these together in my day, so i was able to mostly ignore the instructions.
I've had ours up for several weeks now, and not had any problem with rust like one of the other reviewers. There are four shelves, one of which has a little washcloth bar, and another with a rounded bottom for holding things like loofas. For two people with only a few shower products each, it's more than enough room (one shelf of ours is empty, which we rationalize by saying it's the Guest Shelf).
Measure carefully before buying, though, and make sure the space you'll be putting this in is at least 7' 8" (92"). There's a zinger in the last step of the instructions. It says, "Since there is no standard ceiling height, it may be necessary to reduce the height of the Pole Caddy by carefully cutting off some of the 1/2" diameter tube." They offer no advice on how to 'carefully cut' the metal pole indicated, but i assume some clamps and a metal saw of some sort would be involved.

Honey-Can-Do Kids Toy Organizer and Storage Bins
It came in a massive outer box but was well-packaged. After taking everything out of the package, with my husband helping, we had it up in about 20 minutes. A couple of things I noticed, which are neither pros nor cons, just observations:
* the bins don't sit perfectly at an angle. This isn't a problem though I think it would be better if the product's depth were slightly larger as this would allow the bins to seat a bit nicer.
* the rods across the shelf are metal. Not sure why I thought these would be wooden dowels, but upon thinking about it, it's much nicer to have metal because wood has a tendency to warp.
All in all, it's quite a nice little organizer. The colors of the bins are attractive. And although our house isn't completely free of "toy explosions" -this handy little unit makes it a whole lot easier for the toy bomber to clean up her messes.

Okay, I would have chosen different colors for the bins but it's otherwise perfect.I spent way too much time trying to choose just the right storage for the kids' newly decorated playroom (was supposed to be my kitchen expansion but, oh well). I looked at bigger storage bins but they were too big. I looked at shelves but the bins were more practical because we can scatter the bins around the room for both play and easy pick up and a lot of the toys (cars, balls, plastic animals) are small and need to be kept together. I looked at all plastic but it was bulkier than this wood/plastic combination.
I saw complaints that:
this organizer came damaged mine did not.
that it was low quality higher quality costs more and would be too heavy.
assembly was difficult took me 10 minutes.
bins were too small exactly the right size for my needs. Get a toy box for stuffed animals and shelves for your books.
bins won't sit flat I don't want them to sit flat.
can't secure it to the wall possibly an issue with a child just learning to walk. But we used to tie our Christmas trees to the windows for the same reason so you can probably come up with a temporary fix for a year or so.
Highly recommend.

We got this about 2 months ago. It has been great organizing all my daughters toys. She can easily grab anything out of them without having to pull out a bin. It is pretty sturdy and I am very pleased with this purchase. I definetly recommend this product!Want Honey-Can-Do Kids Toy Organizer and Storage Bins Discount?
It looks decent for the price, it's easy to assemble, and seems fairly sturdy. The biggest issue is that the bins stick out the back about an inch and a half. Because of this you can't secure it to the wall to keep it from tipping over if pulled on. It seems fairly stable and my son is 3 so I don't think this will be an issue, but I don't think I'd trust it with younger kids. One other minor issue is that you can't put two large bins on the same rack. Only one large and two small bins will fit.Thursday, August 15, 2013
Zenith Corner Bath and Shower Caddy, White
It's not pretty and it's not flashy and it looks more like something my mom would have in her trailer, but ultimately how many people look in our shower, right? It totally gets the job done.
It has a couple of hangers for the scrub sponges that my husband likes. Four places for razors and three shelves placed at different levels to accommodate soap, shampoo, and what-not.
I think my biggest complaint other than it not being pretty is that the razor holders don't hold our razors well. We use Schick Mach 3 and I'm not sure what razors they were intended to hold, but they are a little tight and as I found out the first time I tried jamming mine in there they aren't very forgiving. I didn't break the shelving unit, but I did gouge out pieces of the rubber on the sides of my razor :(
I'm giving this one four stars because I don't think that not being flashy is a reason to downgrade something that really is intended to be utilitarian.I purchased this item as a replacement for one that just wore out after about 20 years of service. This one is larger and my wife loves it. Looks like it is stronger too. Thanks for the fine product.

This works great, as we have a very small shower area, and need all the room we can get with still having access to shampoo, soap, at al.

The wife said our shower stall caddy was broken but doubted we could find a replacement.After some diligent searching on Amazon, I found just what we needed.
This is a good built item and was exactly the same as our old thing.
Installation is so easy and the caddy does what it is designed for ~ hold stuff you need in the shower.
I also bought that 3M mounting kit show elsewhere to use for the installation.
There is an adhesive product on the caddy but, that 3M thing really does the trick for mounting.
Thanks for this offering.Does what it is supposed to do. I used some caulking to make sure it stays on the wall.Quite happy with it.
