Many complained it "looked cheap"I didnt think so. I think it's very nice.This unit has been sturdy enough for several children running around, taking toys from the bins, and several adults bumping into it. So far, so good.These are good looking shelves. Have them in the living room. They were pretty simple to assemble. Shelves are not the strongest so wouldn't recommend if you have weighty items to display. But for our picture frames and decorative items, they work just fine. Nice espresso finish complements our living room well.This item is cheaply made. It is flimsy and the baskets are smaller than they look. I will keep it because the cost to return it is too much.

Rubbermaid 1780729 Pantry Organization Corner Helper Shelf
This unit is not very thoughtfully designed. If you are using it in below-the-counter cabinets there should be no problem, but in the narrower, above-the-counter cabinets you are likely to run into a problem. Either one of the vertical supports interferes with a hinge, or if you are using it on a removable shelf, then the required screws will be close to the shelf edge and prone to brake out.
In the case of the former, I was able to get around this by unscrewing the lower hinge allowing me to fit the shelf vertical support behind the hinge. However this created a second problem: the shelf feet faced the wrong way and interfered, preventing the shelf from being mounted against the wall. This is essentially the same problem you encounter on a removable shelf. I solved this by breaking the feet loose, reversing them, and crimping them in place. (Incidentally, in every installation you will need to anchor the feet with screws to secure the shelf and keep it from tipping as weight is added to it. These screws are required but not included; a further example of product sloppiness. Once anchored the shelf is sturdy enough to support any load you are likely to place on it.)
In the end the modified shelves worked well. They have greater storage room below the shelf then with most similar cabinet shelves and there was no fourth vertical member to get in the way as with most units. I am satisfied, but more thought put into the design could have made installation much easier and elevated the problems I faced. Also I would have preferred an option for white.It is a good space saver and I am pleased with this purchase. Only thing I would change is if it was a little bigger,

Curve TV Console
UPDATE: The piece of raw wood that is on the back and bottom of this piece is needed for stability, according to the manufacturer. Since it is a little noticeable from across the room, I tilted the piece on its back and stained the raw wood piece in the front. Problem solved. I constantly get compliments on this console.

SEI 4-Column Cherry Media Shelf with 20 Storage Cubbies
Not to totally bash the product I will say that it looks okay, but only just barely okay and that would be from a distance. It does have a lot of storage space which it about the best thing going for it. If you want a nice quality product that will last years and years this is probably not the unit. If you are looking for cheap, then buy the $145 version and be happy. I would not recommend this unit to any one I know so therefore I will not recommend it to you either. I would rate it 1-1/2 stars but since that is not an option I'll round up to 2 stars. I wish I had a 'do over'.....really.This looks really nice assembled and I have gotten several compliments on it. It is pretty good quality, but it could have been a little nicer for the price. There are some imperfections in the finish, small gaps where shelves connect and the underside of the top shelf is unfinished, but from a few feet away, these are barely visible. It was easy to assemble, heavy and stable even on carpet. It does come with straps to attach it to the wall, but I did not need to use them. You will probably want to use them if you have children. The box was pretty beat up when I received it, but the item was packed so well that it was not damaged.

Ever hear the old expression "you get what you pay for?" I have assembled stuff like this before, so no problem for me, but the instructions are not great. I had to back out the cam bolts slightly or they did not line up with the cam locks. The finish is very thin, the top was slightly scratched, and I will probably apply another coat of cherry Minwax from the hardware store to the top. On the plus side, the backing was actually wood instead of cardboard-type. All in all, it looks nice once assembled, and for the price, it's not bad at all.Read Best Reviews of SEI 4-Column Cherry Media Shelf with 20 Storage Cubbies Here
I think after all is said and done the unit itself looks good. It was a pain is the butt to put together. We put the unit together, after much difficulty, only to find out that the back for the item was not flush with the rest of the unit. There was a gap between the top piece and the vertical pieces. With some gorilla wood glue and clamps we were able to fix it. Also the cam bolts/screws are horrible that come with the unit. My suggestion, go to your hardware store and buy your own. They are cheap, like 2-3 dollars for a set of 5-6. Once all was said an done however my girlfriend and I love the piece. Perfect for putting your dvd's in. You can fit about 13 dvd's per section so a total of about 260. We love the look it adds to our living room space. Looks great with the tv hung above it :)Want SEI 4-Column Cherry Media Shelf with 20 Storage Cubbies Discount?

Command Designer Medium Arc Hooks, White, 2-Hook
The directions are clear. I will order more!Easy to put up and take down. I've been using them for my jackets and hoodies on the inside and outside of my closet door for about 6 months. Haven't had any problems with them falling off or anything. I like that the hook is wide and deep--works well with hoods.

Winsome Wood End Table/Night Stand with Door and Shelf
It's a pretty whimpy nightstand. It's very light but I'm not concerned about it falling apart any time soon. I'm a structural engineer and I think it would hold up fine for normal nightstand use (e.g., lamp, tissue box, clock radio, etc.). Although, I do doubt that the thin shelves would hold up well if you were to stack it full of books or other heavy items.
Overall, I think it's a great deal considering how cheap it is. But here is why I'm giving it only 1 stars. The outgassing is HORRIBLE! I even left it unassembled in my garage for 2 weeks thinking it would not give off any more chemical fumes/odors, but when I assembled them and brought it upstairs, if you sleep within 2-3 feet of these things, it will give you a headache or keep you up because it's so strong of an odor. I can't imagine how unhealthy it must be.
It's been at least 4 weeks now and these things are still outgassing. For the price, I can only imagine that they are made in China and if they are still outgassing this much after this much time, I'm now concerned about what type of toxic chemicals my wife and I are breathing in. So I simple threw them out. I thought about donating them to Goodwill but I personally think they are a health hazard.
I've used oil-base paints and other high-volatile paints before, but they usually will outgass within a few days and be done with it. Not these. These are spewing toxic fumes into the air inside my house.
In the trash they go...This was nicer than what I thought it would be however, when I went to add the front door panel on, it cracked down the side. Luckily since it is black the crack does not stand out. Other than that, I am pleased with the way it looks.

Rubbermaid Configurations 3-to-6-Foot Classic Custom Closet Kit
I looked very closely at the Rubbermaid and Closetmaid systems and also looked at some of the custom closet solutions (Like elfa). I ended up going with the Rubbermaid and am very happy I did; the production value on the Rubbermaid top notch, very sturdy with good finishes, plenty of parts. Using the wall anchors I piled everything into a 4' closet with I would say about 95% utilization.
I had a Closetmaid partical board system before and although it cost the same amount roughly... it wasn't configurable, had cheaper parts, worse clothes rod, and a cheaper less sturdy feel.

I actually ordered 2 sets of these. Each took a wall in a walk in closet. I ripped out the Closetmaid crap the plastered the holes. The finish on the Configurations was so nice, I decided I couldn't just put it up without painting the walls. Yep, I painted my walk-in closet, and installed a stainless steel 3-halogen bulb light fixture to match. I also left enough room in my 9' tall walk-in for top moulding to boot. I figure, the closet is one of the first rooms you enter every morning of your life, why not bring it out.I took my time on the installation, to get the measurements correct. I had one trouble spot where I hit some metal joiners where the stud was. Metal screws fixed the problem easy. My g/f and I are both 6 foot, so I actually set it up higher than the instructions say to. I took the extra bottom space and just mounted extensions for accessory shoe racks. All our shoes are now off the floor and high enough I can run the vacuum through. You will need the shoe racks.
I have double the space in my closet now, and I've used every bit of it.

Some notes for those who want to buy this:#1) DO IT! You'll love it.
#2) Getting started with the very first piece takes the longest. Then it's a total breeze from there!
#3) At the VERY BEGINNING, make sure you are making marks for where you will be screwing into studs, and making different-looking marks where you'll be using a wall anchor you will only need these marks for the top bar that goes all the way across, and only as high as you want the unit to go (meaning the placement of the top shelf or bar).
#4) Directions didn't tell you this (and for some people it's probably obvious), but use a 3/8" bit to drill the holes where you need to use wall anchors, and a 1/8" bit to drill where you'll be able to screw right into the stud. (That's 3 steps for every place you'll be attaching the first bar: mark the wall, make a "starter hole," install the anchor/screw.) I may be an idiot for not knowing that to start, but had someone told me that in the beginning, I could've chopped off a half hour of assembly time! (Now I know for future things as well. :)
#5) You will need 4 leftover screws after you install the top bar these are for the hanging bars, so be sure to set them aside at the beginning, and use the rest to secure the top bar.
#6) They give you specific measurements on the distance between the hanging bars: make sure you start at the far left and far right like the directions say (6" from the wall), but you can space the middle 2 bars wherever works for you.... just note that you may have to cut the top bar cover to fit (which is a nice touch to make it look neat).
It only took a TOTAL (from unpacking the box to starting to put stuff away) of an hour and a half to finish!!! And that's by myself, a 5'3" female who is totally awkward when it comes to putting stuff together!
With the end result of this thing, I LOVE IT. My closet fits so much more and is SO very organized especially for a SMALL space (my closet is only 5'w x 6'h x 2'deep) and has to fit everything from clothes and shoes to luggage and books. I was in such desperate need, I even paid for overnight shipping. :( But I will definitely buy another one when I have another closet that needs to be organized!
The instructions could be a bit clearer, especially for someone without much (if any) experience hanging stuff. I had to call my dad to have him help me understand the directions. Another small complaint: they aren't entirely specific on how many screws you need where. You have to do the counting as you read through the instructions in advance. So I included that in this to hopefully help the next person out. Whatever small frustration I had with the directions TOTALLY PAYS OFF with the end result.
Also, I shopped around for an organizer for a while, and for the price (especially!) and what you get, the value of this is AWESOME. Enjoy your newly nice and neat closet! :)

This is a very easy custom closet configuration system to install. I like that the rails attach to the wall and don't have braces that take up more room. It is very flexible because once you have the rails attached you can put the shelfs and rods where ever you need them.Thursday, August 1, 2013
Chesterfield Medicine Cabinet
Thank you
Buy Chesterfield Medicine Cabinet Now
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.
