Welland 36 Inch x 8 Inch x 1.25 Inch Oliver Wall Shelf Display Floating Shelves Black

Welland 36 Inch x 8 Inch x 1.25 Inch Oliver Wall Shelf Display Floating Shelves BlackThe main problem with this shelf is that the mounting bracket was not produced properly, it was bent. You can imagine how difficult it is to hang it level on the wall when it doesn't sit flush. Because of this, it did take a few trial and error drills to get things right. Also, because of the poorly manufactured mounting bracket, the shelf kind of tilts back, which isn't a huge problem, but sort of looks silly when viewed from the side.

Other than that, it is a nice looking shelf and one of the few I was able to find that was a good size.

My teenage daughter recently had her room redone from a childhood yellow to a Tiffany Box, grown-up looking blue. We purchased black and white linens for the bed. Since we already had white shelves on the walls, we thought we'd accent those with a third black one. This shelf was perfect. Looks very modern and all grown up!

Poundex 5-Tier Leaning Wall Shelf, Cappuccino

Poundex 5-Tier Leaning Wall Shelf, CappuccinoThe shelves are reasonably sturdy given the design, yet light. I bought two to hold my books, each holds between 130-140 books. It should be noted that these are solid wood, not flimsy, and not particle board. These are said to be cappuccino colored, but that's not accurate at all. They are very dark brown, espresso would be closer to the actual color.

Set up was a snap, all you need is a phillips-head screwdriver. I'm not what you would call handy, but I put the first one together in about 40 minutes, and the second in 15.

Overall, I'm happy with the shelves. The only problem I have is that one of the shelves wobbles and there's no way to possibly adjust anything to fix it, as the last step of set up is running a wood screw through dowels. This last step does not allow for any adjustments once completed.

Similar items on the market are a sturdier, wider, have thicker side rails and larger shelves. However, those items also begin at twice the price of this one. It was easy to put together and comes with everthing you need, including the wood glue for the dowels. It is very functional for my purposes. I'm using it in my living room for decorative accents, a few books, and framed pictures. Not sure how it would stand up if used strictly for books. (If planning to use in an office or library mainly for books, definitely choose one of the more expensive models. Crate and Barrel and Value City Furniture have affordable options if you are looking for something that needs to hold a great deal of weight.) But if looking for a stylish piece to add some decorative elements to any room, save yourself some money and get this one. This is a nice choice at a good price.

This one is a keeper. The color is really elegant with a shiny gloss finish to it. Very easy to put together and for the price of $38, cannot beat it!!! This can easily sell for $150

I saw a shelf exactly like this in Pier 1 for almost $200. I was thrilled to find this one at a great price. It was very easy to put together. I do not think I would overload it, but it holds plenty of photos, vases, candles, plants, etc. The color is a nice dark espresso (not sure capuccino is the right description). It was a perfect addition to a bare wall. I will be getting another one for my home office. Excellent!

When the package arrived at my house, I could tell by the smell that we were going to have a problem before I brought it in the house. Luckily I did, b/c when I opened it outside, the box was full of stink bugs. Mostly squished stink bugs.

They were between the box and the packaging so it did not damage the shelf.

It was fairly easy to put the shelf together. It probably took me an hour by myself.

I have 2 complaints with the shelf. The first one is that the 2nd and 3rd shelves from the bottom always come loose and slant. I look at it and wonder if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I can easily move them with my hand. I have tightened the screws repeatedly and it always happens again. The other complaint is that the very top of the ladder is not smooth wood. You won't see this unless you are very tall, but when I clean the shelf, my rag gets caught on the rough wood.

I suggest a higher quality shelf or one that doesn't lean but is more triangular shaped so there is added support and the shelves are screwed in 2 places rather than 1.

Welland Chicago Floating Shelf, 36-Inch, Cherry

Welland Chicago Floating Shelf, 36-Inch, CherryI had purchased this item and once I measured the area I wanted to place it, I had realized it was too big. I reached out to the company and they swapped it out for me and refunded the difference no problems or questions asked. It was great! The shelves are sharp & look amazing on the wall it's a clean, crisp look. They don't seem to attract too much dust. I've used 2 shelves in lieu of a toliet ettigere. I am soo pleased with it!

I will definitly recommend this product/company to anyone. Great customer service is hard to come by these days but this company still has it!

I bought 2 of these shelves and I have to say they were probably the easiest to hang out of any other floating shelf I've put up. Definitely make sure to have a level handy. The anchors were easy to put in and didn't bend or smush like traditional plastic screw anchors. The finish is easily dinged and I don't believe they are real wood but they look great and I'd get them again.

Knape & Vogt 182BP WH 18.5 182 Series 18.5" Heavy-Duty Shelf Bracket White, White

Knape & Vogt 182BP WH 18.5 182 Series 18.5' Heavy-Duty Shelf Bracket White, WhiteI purchased these because I needed an adjustable shelving system for my pantry that would hold a heavy load. These brackets don't have the customary "lip" at the tip, which allows the shelf to extend beyond the end of the bracket. These look great, and are very heavy duty. If you view them from the bottom, they are actually U-shaped, or double the steel, providing an extremely rigid bracket with 6 connection tabs.

Simpli Home AXWSH004 Warm Shaker Collection 47-Inch Tv Stand, Honey Brown, 1-Pack

Simpli Home AXWSH004 Warm Shaker Collection 47-Inch Tv Stand, Honey Brown, 1-PackI was excited when I finally found something to match our Shaker furniture. But the excitement ended there. When the package arrived the box had rips but nothing that looked like it would damage the product. When I opened it I really believe this was a return that had been resold. The protective wrapping was torn and there were numerous large dents, gashes and nicks in the wood. So I also returned this stand and was going to have them send me another only to find they were out of stock and had no date of when they would be available. It really looked like it could have been a nice item but I read other reviews where people had a very similar experience with this item. To bad I really was disappointed. I will say Amazon was great about the return and issued my refund quickly.

First off, I can't give a review on this other than the shipping process and how Amazon has worked to resolve the issue.

So here is a history of the what's happened to me so far...

I order the product on Deceber 30th and get an estimated shipping date of January 2nd, which comes and goes so I check online and the ship date now shows Janary 4th. Ok, it's right before the weekend so figure I'll take Thursday night and put all my movies and cds from my old entertainment center into boxes, bring up an old rickety bookshelf to put the TV on, have the dvd player and PS3 for my son put on plastic milk crates to keep it the air flowing over them, etc. and I'm really looking forward to finally getting something nice for my TV.

Weeeelll, that's not exactly what happens. When I get home on Friday, the piece hasn't arrived yet, and I notice that it says "there was an exception to the shipping process" in the tracking code, and my package hasn't even left the depot yet in South Carolina (I live in Wisconsin). Well, color me mad, but I'm like problems happen, Amazon has been good to me, yada yada. Well, it's late, but on the move to Illinois so things are good and I should be getting it soon.

Well, the weekend arrives...nothing... I check the package and it's in Illinois, and the ship date has been changed to the 7th (I had signed up for text alerts, by the way, and didn't that, either) so ok. Monday arrives, no package. Ship date is now the 8th and no text or email alerts. Tuesday arrives, no package and tracking number shows package is still in Illinois...huh? Ok, well I guess they feel it will still get here on time...uh, no...Tuesday after work, nothing. Wednesday, nothing. Thursday I get an email (and a text, yay!) stating my package was delivered to the wrong warehouse in Illinois and is already BACK in South Carolina! At this point I'm like what the heck, but I really want this piece so I'm sure they'll get it figured out.

By the end of the day on the 10th, I get a message that package is already being loaded for departure and on its way back to Wisconsin..on the 12th it's in Tennessee, on the 14th it's in Hodgkins Illinois, on the 15th it's in Madison, WI and about 15 minutes from my house. Woohoo! ... and then I get an email (and text) that the package may have been damaged in delivery and to call Amazon if there are any problems. Uh, ok. So you're going to deliver it anyway? Alright, but if it's damaged, you better not charge me to send it back! I guess after the text and email, someone realized it might not be a good idea to deliver a damaged product ,and I get an email and text showing the package is being sent back to shipper.

So at this point, I'm like what do I do now? Does Amazon refund me? Do they ship out another product? I mean, what am I supposed to do, here? Well, they did text me a number to call when my package arrived, so I call it. Any idea what happened next? I get an automated attendant saying that this is no longer the customer service line for Amazon and that I have to go to a web site address, put in my phone number, and then someone will call me back "immediately". Ah, well guess what, I'm at work. I don't have a direct line and I can't get a signal on my cell.

So...I Google the customer support line, call it, and finally get through to someone who says I have to wait until the package comes back to the warehouse, wait a few days to have my money returned to the account, then can do a search for the new product and re-order if I wish. What? Why on earth would you make someone go through all that. You already have my money. Just ask me if it's ok to ship another one. They can see it was never delivered so it's not like I could pull anything on them, and then I don't have to go through all this.

To make a long story short, they won't do that and to my dismay, the price of the item has gone up in price, so if I want to re-order I'm going to have to pay more to get the same item four to six weeks AFTER it was supposed to be delivered.

Amazon, in every other purchase I've had from you, you've been great....in this instance...you've sucked and sucked badly.

Real wood, very sturdy. Directions were a little vague. I put every piece on backwards, and had to re-do it more than once. That is why it only has 4 stars. Once finally complete, it looks great!

Lifetime 6433 11-by-11-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed with Windows

Lifetime 6433 11-by-11-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed with WindowsInitial delivery was short 3 boxes. Amazon corrected the problem within 3 days of notification. One person can assemble almost the entire shed but two are needed to do the roof. Putting the shed up took about 16 hours. Directions were good; doing the inventory would have been easier if the part numbers that are stamped into many of the parts would have been referenced. The floor outer panels should be identified as those where the doors would be installed, would help to orientate the shed for door placement. One small part was missing; a call to the manufacture got the part to me in 2 days. The shed looks good and seems to be made of good materials. Only "cheap" parts are window mechanisms and large shelves. There were no leaks after several heavy rains. The shed platform must be absolutely level, the roof assembly is where any deviations show-up!

Worth the money I paid. It requires at least 3 people to put together. Lot of pieces to put together. One of the sides did not align correctly, but to much trouble to request a replacement. Had to make adjustments. It looks great.

going on two years now and its still looks new, survived Hurricane sandy with 70+ winds, and survived a few large snow storms no problem. This thing is solid as can be and not too hard to put together. Love my shed and glad i bought it

Vinyl Veneer High Capacity Wall Rack (CD-1500 Series) Oak

Vinyl Veneer High Capacity Wall Rack OakThe CD storage rack is of high quality and the finish looks much better in person than the picture shows. The CD rack comes double boxed with card board and lined with styro foam to protect the finish in shipment. Assembly is quick and the CD rack is held together sturdily as I have over 1200 CDs on it. The CD rack is finished with wood veneer even in places that do not show which is most appreciated. The adjustable shelves handle the weight of the CDs easily and lock in place so that they contribute to the over all strength of the unit. The CD rack is a nice size and fits just right in the space I have available for it. Over all I am very pleased with my purchase.

This is a great shelf. it really helps to mantain organized all my music and dvd's. Very fast to assemble, and the size is great; does not take too much room.

Thank you very much, sincerely

R.L.

The shelf came within days. It was easy to set up, and I got it up and my cds and dvds on it in a couple of hours. For such a tall, thin shelf it is amazingly stable, and with a capacity of 1500 cds, I'll be able to fit in a lot more in the future.

Umbra Conceal Double Wall Book Shelf

Umbra Conceal Double Wall Book ShelfThis is a really great idea for decorating and look great. I bought a couple and may buy more.

Likes

* It can really dress up a drab wall. Much more eye catching that just a bookshelf or photo.

* It's easy to install. Just need 3 screws.

Dislikes

* You have to be choosey with the type of books used. The ones I planned to use were too deep and too heavy. The whole thing sagged. The pictures on the Umbra site show some with a whole stack of books. I wasn't able to get more than a couple of hardcover books on it, without the sagging occurring. Wish they had used slightly thicker gauge metal. For the price charged, they could afford it.

* The single version has 2 mounting holes one above another, so it offers more support. In this double version, it has 3 holes, just slightly above the shelf, in a horizontal row. This might limit the weight bearing capacity.

* The bottom support book only provides support if other books provide weight on the wall side. It also assumes the very small support "hooks" stay engaged on the book cover. If a guest decides to pull a book down to look at it, it is very likely the whole stack will come tumbling down. This should be considered a decorative solution, not a way to store books you will frequently use. Be ready to yell "don't touch those" if you seem someone reaching for them. I would not put anything breakable below these.

Despite some gripes I really like these and they look great on the wall. I think there are some things they could do to improve them, but overall I'm satisfied. I'm recommending them.

If there is a book lover in your family then this a great gift idea. It is a fun and decorative way to showcase favorite or old classic books. The books literally look as if they are freely suspended in the air. They also come in several sizes so that you can fit the particular books you wish to display. And with that I give a warning to make sure that you find the right fit for your books, otherwise the shelf will not be completely concealed.

we love this thing, and I can't believe how much weight this thing can take! we have 12 heavy books and 6 DVD's (TV series) on it...it takes only about a minute to install it with 3 screws on the wall! I will definitely get more of these cool bookshelf's.

I love this shelf! It is a great way to display my books and so unique. I bought some 'singles' to stagger around and place nicknacks on top of some of the stacks. You do need a medium to large book to fit on the bottom. Easy to attach to wall and they are very sturdy. Pretty good deal I found on Amazon too!

Want Umbra Conceal Double Wall Book Shelf Discount?

This is a great-looking way to display your books, but be warned that it is not the sturdiest of shelves. But it's currently holding 16 books of different sizes on my wall and making my bedroom look awesome. Great buy.

KV Lazy Susan Pie Cut Door Mounted 2 Polymer Shelves 24" (Set) White

KV Lazy Susan Pie Cut Door Mounted 2 Polymer Shelves 24' WhiteInstalls fairly easily but I am not sure how long the unit will last. There is a lot of plastic on the bushings that hold the top and bottom in place.
