Whitmor 4 Storage Cubes

Whitmor 6071-1723 Four Storage Cubes, WhiteThese grids are amazing as rabbit cages (or guinea pigs, etc.). You can make large indoor areas for your rabbits and it is flexible so it can fit into probably any home. I have my 2 rabbits in a pen make from these grids and they love it. It was cheap and larger than anything from a petstore. I am looking to get more as I get ready to purchase a baby FLEMISH GIANT!

This all being said I will note that the plastic connectors aren't worth the time people put into making them! You have to get those plastic cable ties to put them together and then everything works GREAT!

I am an artist & comic book creator who goes to different conventions throughout the year. I bought these cubes because I saw other exhibitors using them for shelving and displays on their tables, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They pack flat and are relatively easy to put together (you need to push the flat pieces firmly into the connectors until you hear a popping sound), and are pretty sturdy once put together. I've used them for adding level shelves to the top of my table, as well as for a stand to hold up a banner behind the table. My only issue with them is that they are somewhat heavy, so they add a lot when stuffed in a suitcase for flying; something to consider for those without enough stuff to ship to a convention ahead of time. I can also see how they wouldn't be the best choice for someone who is looking for a permanent furniture fixture, even if it's just for the length of a year in a dorm (the only reason I gave it 4 stars, since that's it's advertised purpose). But for instances where you want quick set-up and tear down for conventions and trade shows, they are a god-send and extremely flexible in display and function.

I have these cubes in my closet and I like them. It's nice that they disassemble and store flat for moving. I did find that although they do go together with the connectors, I used those plastic zip ties to reinforce the junctions. I don't know if I'd store books like the previous reviewer did, but for most standard closet junk they work just fine. I've never had them fall apart and I've stuffed them with clothing, shoes, boots, and towels. Easy to configure them to fit your space too I have some unconventional vertical spaces that I squeezed them into and they work just fine.

These grids are great for easy assembly guinea pig cages. Forget about the tiny ones marked "large" in the pet stores. Guinea pigs need room to run and play and jump (popcorn). To find out more about building your own just google C & C guinea pig cages. For a base most people use coroplasta sheet of corrugated plastic bought from a sign shop. If you google making a C & C cage you'll find instructionit is easy.

The cheapest grids like these I have found are at Bed Bath and Beyond. They send out 20% off coupons regularly and with that discount the grids cost about $16 for a box. It's wise to buy cable tieszip ties too because the connectors that come with these do not always hold together in the way you want. You can also attach ramps with cable ties very easily.

We use a fleece bedding system and the guinea pigs are litter box trained so it all stays quite clean and manageable. People have different preferences. My choice is to buy reusable cloth waterproof hospital mattress pads from an on line hospital supply company as my bottom layer. This layer is very absobant. The layer on topis fleece. You can find fleece blankets at places like Savers very cheap or buy yardage from a fabric store.

If you buy a large enough piece after you lay down your mattress pad layer on top of your coroplast cage bottom (which is surrounded on the outside by the fence of these grids) and actually tuck it over and under. This way the guinea pigs will not burrow. I'd suggest getting enough grids to make a 2 x 4 or 5 grid cageno bottom or top are needed if placed on the floor or a very large table.

Even better is to use more grids and connectors/ cable ties to make a bottom and base for storage underneath. This raises the cage off the floor and brings it to a great height securely. You can find lots of examples online.

For 1-2 guinea pigs you'll need to make a 4 or 5 grid by 2 grid cage. For 3 or 4 pigs you'll want at least 5 or 6 grids long by 2. I suggest not going wider than 2 grids so you can catch you guinea pigs easily and also for ease in cleaning and maintaining the cage.

Ramps and lofts/ upper levels are tempting (changing the cage around and adding additions is fun) and can be nice if you have a big enough cage, but they actually make it harder to maintain and most guinea pigs stay below most of the time and the ramps take away from their lower level floor space.

We bought these to build up our rabbit's cage and to bunny proof the house. The connectors hold together wonderfully. Easy to put up and take down. These things are very handy and sturdy.

Baby Nursery / Kid Room Wall Decals (Monkey, Owl, Tree, etc designs to choose from)

Childrens Wall Decals, White Tree Wall Decal, Perfect for Shelf or ShelvingWe purchased the Jungle Animal (Lollipop) decals for our first child who is on the way. We're currently renting and didn't want to have to worry about painting/repainting. These are so easy to apply and really do look like you had someone come in and paint the room -hard to believe you get this level of quality in a 'decal'. We ended up spreading the decals out since they are quite large and were able to create 3 different scenes around the nursery. We love the way it looks already, and I'm sure baby boy will love it too.

My daughter wanted to decorate her room, so she selected the Cherry Blossom Tree Branch decal. It was easy for the two of us to work together and apply it to her walls. She decided not to put the Panda bears up since she wanted a different look.

At first I thought the decals/tree wasn't as tall as the picture makes it look. but once I got the whole room set up it came out very neat. Very happy!

My husband put this up; I handed him the stuff and when we first opened it, it was just pieces, but we just followed the photo and it's looks great. Everyone has complimented the mural. We wanted a nursery that was peaceful and pretty, and the mural certainly captures the feel.

I loved the photos of the pandas and the cherry blossom decal and I knew I had to have it for our son's room. However, I had never applied decals before and had no idea how difficult it would be. It was so easy. The instructions show you each branch number and the connection points are like jigsaw puzzles so you know exactly where the "joints" should fit together. We just pained the walls so we had no problem with wiping them clean so the stickers would adhere. You do have to be patient and careful with the branches since they are very thin and hard to remove once they adhere to the walls. I had to remove one branch and you will dent them with your fingernail while trying to remove it. However, you have so many flowers that you can cover up any little dents with them if you are picky like me.

Once you place all the stickers where you want them you have have to rub them down so they stick well to the wall. We took a large sheet of aluminum foil to cover the decals and rubbed them with a stiff cleaning brush. You should see the texture of the wall through the decals. I am so pleased with the results. It looks like someone painted a mural. I uploaded a photo to show you! It's the photos with the branches starting on the right side on a light blue wall.

Welland 36 Inch x 3.25 Inch x 5.25 Inch Corona Crown Molding Wall Shelf UnfinishedThis is a decent shelf, however due to the glue that it's put together with, do not stain this shelf! I read this on another similar item after I purchased it and I would have to agree. It's a decent shelf for the money but plan on painting it if you want it to look nice.

Leo 4PC Shelf with 3 BasketsThis is exactly what I expected quality..One does have to have a bit of mechanical know how to put it together and patience. But it is worth it. When you are finished you have a piece that looks like you purchased it right from the furniture store. I am re-doing my office and it definitely makes a statement. I am using all of the Winsome pieces.

It hasn't arrived yet.Looks good in window. I beleive its to much for delivery $45.00. And this ruins the Deal.

This is one great looking shelf however it is only functional if you want to put decorative objects on it. The shelves are VERY small, even for books. I use it next to my TV that is flat mounted on above the fireplace. However the shelves are all very small and only the bottom two will hold a TV receiver with careful fitting. My PS3 barely fits too. There is no way to put my surround sound received on it though. If the shelves were about 6" bigger on the bottom three shelves, it would be very versatile.

Sonax ZX-8680 Zurich Midnight Black TV Mount with Swivel Base for 37-Inch- 52-Inch TVs

Sonax ZX-8680 Zurich Midnight Black TV Mount with Swivel Base for 37-Inch- 52-Inch TVsI got this and saw it was made of particle board, so I sent it back. If you want cheap junk, buy this. Just know what you are getting. They try to use fancy words like "Engineered Wood," but make no mistake that what you will get is particle board with a black plastic coating. That's not what I wanted, so I sent it back. Also, a particle board tv stand has no business costing $230.

I read the reviews on this great-looking TV stand before I ordered it, and was aware that it was made from particle board, but I bought it anyway hoping that my experience would be more in line with the positive reviews. The heavily-braced box arrived today with no signs of distress to the packaging. I began assembly with extreme care, using hand tools to tighten the screws lest I strip anything, but the first time I picked up the perforated back board the vertical piece with holes in it for cords to pass through it simply snapped into two pieces. It broke across one of the hole cutouts, into two pieces. Imagine my dismay, assembling this stand at 11 PM on Dec 23rd, after having junked our old stand in today's trash. I'll ask the manufacturer for another piece to replace this one, but I'm quite leery about placing a $1000 flat panel on top of this incredibly cheap stand. Don't let the $269 price and nifty appearance fool you, this unit is probably worth about one-fifth of that. The lacquer finish is also partially delaminated and peeling away from the main back board, just icing on the cake!

While the Sonax stand looks very nice, we quickly discovered a huge drawback. We have a Vizio tv and cannot access the av plugs on the back of the tv once it is mounted. This means we cannot switch the cables to use a different video game system (have the Wii set up, but our daughter has a Smart Cycle and V-Smile game system) without removing the tv. HUGE hassle and so disappointing.

Another reviewer noted the lack of cable organization, which is also a drawback.

I normally like fully enclosed type TV stands but in this case I wanted to put it in a corner and save space so I bought this one. It took me about 2 hours to put it together and mount the TV. It all went together fairly easily but some of the pictorials could have been better. There is almost no verbiage in the directions, just all pictorials. There is at least one pictorial that should have been separated into two for clarity. The pictorials for mounting the brackets to the TV are lacking detail as well. Another con is that there is no wire management hole on the very bottom wood shelf. There was a small chip in the black laminate on a visible part of the inside frame on mine when I received it but I touched it up with a black felt pen and it looks fine.

Now that I have it all set up, it looks great. There were no missing parts. I still really don't like how the back is exposed so that I can see my white wall to the left and right of the center wire management board. I may staple some black felt on the backside to cover this but I haven't decided yet. Overall, the stand is of good quality. The assembly directions were not terrible but not great. All the parts were there for the build of the pedestal with one extra roller for the swivel base. They included plenty of different size screws, spacers, and washer to mount any TV! You will have extra TV mounting parts! And last but not least, the TV height is adjustable depending on what holes you use to mount it, plus or minus 5 inches.

I struggled with rating this with 4 stars. I would rate this with a 3.5 star rating if I could but rated it 4 stars as I don't think it deserves a lower 3 star rating.

ORE International N1032-4-WALNUT 4-Panel Walnut Finish Room Divider with Book Shelves

ORE International N1032-4-WALNUT 4-Panel Walnut Finish Room Divider with Book ShelvesDecent product...great concept.

Shelving added to a traditional room divider was just what we wanted. We were looking to create two separate spaces in our daughter's room & she wanted shelving to display some of her artwork. The shelves aren't spaced far enough apart for her to present large pieces (about 12 in. between each shelf), so she uses the top shelf for the large canvases and uses the lower shelves for smaller drawings, sculptured items, etc...

The shelving material is light-weight, and the finish seems as if it will be scratched easily, and the hinges on the divider sections are not heavy duty, but the unit should be more than adequate for our needs.

Be warned if you plan to use the display as pictured, it's very shaky. When this came, the picture showed the unit in more of a "W" shape, with the shelves threaded through it. Done that way it's very stable, however you will have very little shelf space.The unit hasn't tipped over yet, but it does make me a little nervous.

On the plus side, it comes assembled just slide the shelves through. I expected to at least have to screw the hinges on, but no! I really like the piece, but I'm not sure it's worth the price. I used a gift card to purchase it and though I really like it, I wouldn't buy another one with my actual money unless it were on sale.

I am very pleased at the aesthetic value of this shelving room divider. Not only does it add shelving space, the color is attractive and we honestly cannot see the person behind the divider. Better than any cubicle.

Wow what can I say other than this is crap quality this is not worth the price tag. Its like made of the poorest quality materials of the poor quality materials available, cardboard would have been a better choice... Seriously.

Really not tall enough, in my opinion, to be a "room divider", since most people can see right over the top of it, but it is very pretty. The shelf ends could have been better finished, and the back of the panels aren't as well finished as the fronts, which is why I am only giving four stars. However, it is an attractive unit once set up. It can be done in the configuration shown in the picture, or folded accordion style and the shelves will still fit through the slots. This allows you to display items on both sides of the unit, instead of just one side.
