Whitmor Supreme Stacking Shelf, Chrome

Whitmor 6054-585 Supreme Wide Stacking Shelf, ChromeIt looks nice, assembles quickly, and for low weight uses (toiletries, shoes, kitchen items) this shelf will probably do fine, but I bought it as a desktop computer stand and it is too weak for that or any other heavy objects.

If you put any significant weight on it, you will see the metal start to bow immediately. When placed on the shelf, my computer will rock back and forth after a light touch. The computer is nowhere near the stated 200 lbs. load capacity, and even just pressing down with my hands made the sides of the shelf start to bow. While the flex in the metal will decrease noise due to vibration I'm going to find a stronger replacement and move this to a closet or something....

I bought some of these to make shelving in a storage area and was pleasantly surprised by how easy these are to stack together with no tools. My stack was sturdy, the shelves are adjustable, and I had no problem with any sharp edges. I was concerned about ordering from Target, as I have read MANY reviews complaining about their items being damaged in shipment, but all of these units arrived safely, each in its own box. I would gladly purchase these again.

I think this product is an excellent value. It's plenty sturdy enough for the size (meaning it would be tough to put something on it too heavy since it's not very big). It's doing an excellent job for the situation I bought it for.

I bought this shelf because I was looking for something to place potted plants on that wouldn't fit on regular plant stands (long rectangular pots and round 12-14"). Shelf construction is incredibly easy and only takes about five minutes. Like other reviewers, I found that the shelf dips a little in the center, but it isn't enough to be a problem, and it will definitely support the 200 pound limit it's designed for. The price for this product is just right and it's turning out to be a perfect solution to my plant stand problem.

If you're looking for sturdy, stable, functional shelving, these are perfect. I needed to better organize craft supplies so purchased 1 small and 2 large units. They are easy to assemble and stack very securely with adjustable height options. SO glad I found these!

New, 10-Inch Long, Wine Glass Rack, Wire Hanging Rack, Wine Glass Hanging Rack, Wire Wine Glass Han

New, 10-Inch Long, Wine Glass Rack, Wire Hanging Rack, Wine Glass Hanging Rack, Wire Wine Glass Hanger Rack, Stemware Rack, Under Cabinet, Chrome FinishI bough three of these to put under one of our kitchen cabinets. The arrived as advertised but after installing and using them disappointing and eventually decided to uninstall and find a better solution. Here are my complaints:

1. They are just an inch or two too short. 3 medium wine glasses don't fit comfortably, making us nervous that the last glass might slip out and break on the counter top. This isn't the sellers fault necessarily but...

2. The biggest issue is the "V" opening. It looks good but effectively reduces the depth making it much easier for a glass to slip out. This issue caused us to uninstall and search for another solution.

3. The screws could be better. They are unnecessarily long and poked through the bottom of my cabinet. Also they are cheap so some of the heads stripped despite predrilling holes.

After uninstalling I went to Lowes and to my surprise I found almost identical wine racks both in terms of finish and dimensions but CHEAPER and without the flaws mentioned above. They were the same length but they'd a square opening for the glasses in stead of the "V" opening. That gave us just enough room to store three glasses comfortably. The screws were also the correct length and better quality.

Overall these would be OK if I you were buying longer racks making the V opening a non-issue. The screws would still be insufficient but that would be an annoying but minor issue. BUT if you are looking for something 10-12 inch in length, go to Lowes. You will get a better product at a better price.

I ordered these hesitantly as I've been looking at different wine glass racks for a while now and many comments were about the size of the entry point and such. When I received my order, 2 of the 3 racks were perfect... they fit my nice fancy glasses and look great. The third, however, was a completely different size and finish. It was still "chrome" but it has a different level of shiny and it has a different height and width so my glasses didn't fit and it protrudes below the height of the others once hung. Pretty annoying to not get the same item if you ask me...

Otherwise, the first two were exactly what I was looking for... and I'd love to have a few more just like those, but I'm hesitant to buy here.

I bought two of these racks and they were both poorly constructed. The two flat ends (with the screw holes) were welded incorrectly so that those pieces were crooked in relation to the metal bars that hold the glasses. It may have been okay if they were equally screwed up because I could create the illusion that they shouldn't be straight.

If only one of them were bad, I would shrug it off as being an anomaly, but since they were both bad, I have to credit a bad product. I would not recommend this product.

Ordered 5 of these wine racks. All were not properly welded. This made hanging and squaring the racks very difficult. Save your money. Dont buy this product.

It's low profile, so it hides under a cabinet easily. It holds wine glasses without any problem and I haven't experienced any negative effects (scratched glass, dropped glass, etc). All in all, it's exactly what you would expect it to be.

Sonax FS-3480 Fillmore 48 in. Midnight Black TV / Component Stand

Sonax FS-3480 Fillmore 48-Inch TV Component Stand, Midnight Blackthis product was great, I like the design and is very easy to set up. you can also choose how high or low you can put the shelves so it fits if your decoration is small or big, or if you want to put a home theater or a blue ray or etc..

The only thing I didn't like was that in order to have options of the different heights of the shelves the sides have holes that are not painted, so if you order a dark paint product like I did it will be notice. I had to paint them myself or find some covers to put in there so it wouldnt be notice.

but overall the product is great, i like it a lot.

This stand was made with consumers like me in mind. I am no rocket scientist, or should I say structural engineer, so my forte is not in assembling furniture. This went together in less than an hour with little gnashing of teeth or swear words that I would feel bad about later. This is a basic stand with no bells and whistles. I bought it for my bedroom, but I will end up putting it in another room when I find another higher stand. If you are using in a bedroom, this is too low to comfortably watch TV and aim the remotes.

This is a very solid product, very sturdy, and looks great in my living room. Contrary to some review I had no problems with assembly, you may have to stray from the directions a tad to fit your own way of doing things, but you get the same end result. My only issue with the desk is that from some angles you can still see the particle board texture instead of the black, but once you put things on the shelves its really not noticeable.

Fits my Blu-Ray player, XBOX 360, Wii, speakers, 46" TV and controllers for the game systems.

This stand was easy to put together by myself and looks great. Quite sturdy with: a 53" TV and wireless cable modem/router on top, DVR, XBOX 360, PS3 and some books all neatly organized below. I was very pleased with this purchase.

I turned to this stand because anything else that was rated to support my 130 lbs plasma TV and a few components was hundreds of $$. This stand fits the bill extremely well for a great price and looks amazing as well. It is very sturdy and the TV feels solid on the stand.

The only negatives I would throw in are that the shelf support holes could be painted black as an earlier reviewer mentioned, as could the side panels (they are painted black on three sides, and stand out when viewed from the side). And I could have used another 3 inches in width as my receiver and the base of the TV "hang off" the rear edge. The receiver's rubber feet are stable on the shelf, but the TV does not sit on all of its base area (if that makes sense).

4 ft. x 8 ft. Garage Overhead Storage Rack (12 in. - 21 in. H/White)

4 ft. x 8 ft. Garage Overhead Storage RackSad that instructions were not included, but they were easy enough to find online. Wife loves the newfound garage space. I'm telling all my friends about the strength of the Montserrax.

This rack is great, it's big, sturdy and good quality. The instructions that come with the rack are very detailed for the do-it-yourselfers. Comes in two boxes which is nice so it's easier/lighter to move.

I highly recommend having a second person assist with the install, it makes it a LOT easier. Although you don't "need" a second person since all the individual pieces are not heavy, it's a lot easier for measurements etc.

Nexxt PN17588-6 Raine - Unique Curved Wood Shelf/Ledge 23.5 by 5 by 6.5-Inch, Black

Nexxt  PN17588-6 Raine - Unique Curved Wood Shelf/Ledge 23.5 by 5 by 6.5-Inch, BlackThe shelf arrived quickly and well packaged. It is easy to put together and hang, and fit the space between my door moulding and window moulding to the millimeter, and therefore allows easy placement of a surround speaker and allowed the wires to be concealed by the mouldings that touch the shelf on either side (of course that is specific to my application). There is no support for the horizontal shelves other than 3 screws up/down into the vertical back plate. As such, exceeding the stated weight could break the shelf, but everything has a limit. I just need to keep my big cats from jumping on it.

We thought this was a very unique shelf and made the mistake of buying four of them. They create an optical illusion on the wall, so no matter what you do, they look crooked. Nice idea, well made, but not what we had hoped.

These shelves have a nice design but the curve does not make them very functional not much space to put anything, but great for small mementoes.

Decorative Shelf Bracket, 6" x 6" Black

Decorative Shelf Bracket, 6' x 6' BlackI was unpleasantly surprised when I ordered this bracket and, unlike what the picture shows, there was only one bracket included in my order, not two. I had only two options, return the bracket--because one bracket is useless to hold up a shelf--or buy another one. Since I would lose money returning the bracket, I ordered another one.

Basically, I ended up paying twice what I thought the bracket was worth.

In terms of the bracket itself, it is attractive and functional and does what a bracket should do.

I rate this 4 for the bracket itself and 1 for false advertising.

These shelves do what they are supposed to...but the picture is a little misleading. They actually have a kind of shiny plastic finish to them and arent a hard looking steel like you might interpret from the picture. I also bought 2 since many other buyers advised that the advertisement is for only one

These brackets were exactly what I expected, square, good welds not sloppy and ugly,paint coating was good, and they are rugged for 6'X6" shelf brackets.What more can you ask for for this price in steel brackets.

Metal FX Brushed Copper Contact Paper, 18" x 6'

Metal FX Brushed Copper Contact Paper, 18' x 6'I ordered this product for the special purpose of covering the door of a small refrigerator in our RV. This did not work as it is impossible to get it on without wrinkles. We tried various ways but finally gave up. I think for smaller projects it would be fine. And it has a nice copper look. Very metalic. It seems to stretch as you work with it so you need to get it layed on correctly the first time with no wrinkles. It didn't work for our application.

I purchased 2 rolls to cover the front of a fridge. The measurements were accurate and I had no trouble getting in on without bubbles (I used a level as I unrolled it down to make sure it was even and bubble-free). The first roll went on beautifully! I was so excited. Then I went to open the 2nd roll and there was a sticker on the roll making part of the 18" x 6" no good. Add to it, that specific roll was all crinkly and damaged looking. I was not happy. I added a few of the copper tiles down the center seam to make the differences seem intentional but I wish that was not necessary. I think for small projects, if you get the right roll, all will be well. I added 2 rows of those copper tiles above the stove and sink and the overall look of the kitchen is much brighter with an art-deco feel.

Use it on a desk I created, Southwestern style. Copper contact in center writing area,

deep teal or turquoise enameled border, with thunderbird cutouts of the copper in corners.

The copper contact is only metallic paper. So naturally it scratches. But it lasted, looking good, for

3, 4 years, surviving books and other stuff scraped along surface as the desk

is well used. I also polish it with furniture oil to renew shine (Avon skin-so-soft works great).

Now looking to buy again to renew the old stuff. Just love it. Oh also

use it to cover the top of a little old metal step stool in kitchen. Will be renewing that

too, but again for use and abuse, lasted a long time looking good.

I purchased the brushed copper contact paper to cover some old Tupperware canisters so they'd go better with my new kitchen cabinets and drawer pulls. It was easy to use, but I did discover that I needed to be very careful with anything sharp, as the paper was easily scratched. I have yet to use the canisters enough to evaluate how well this fix holds up, but so far, it's far less expensive than buying new canisters (if I could find them in copper!)
