Being summer, my children have sneakers, sandals and crocs piled in the entryway. Okay, I will admit that I am also guilty. I add significantly to the pile. It got to the point where it was difficult to even open the door. One day, I had just about had it! I was bound and determined to find something to get these shoes organized. Anything we weren't using for the summer was put away but it seemed like the pile of the shoes we did use was bigger. Now what? After searching a few stores, I finally found the ClosetMaid Stackable 25 Cube Organizer at Target on sale for $37.49 (originally $49.99). Wahoo! It was just what I was looking for! — My Experience — This organizer is made out of particleboard with a laminate finish and measures 32 by 24 by 12 inches (height by width by depth). Cubes measure 4.5 by 5.75 inches (width by height). There were several finishes to...

I did my research and picked them because they provided reasonable prices and had good internet presence - found them at http://www.xpressmovers.com/ . They picked me up on time. I was delivered and my items were in good condition. I would, and have, recommended ASAP to many friends and family, all with good...

This desk has so much to offer in style and use. I ordered it online and received it 3 days later. — I assembled it myself (57 yr old female) and it has added so much to my home office area. The directions for assembly were even easy to understand! It is so strong and wellmade I am thrilled. —...

I couldn't see paying a premium price to have a couple of guys wall-mount it. Most stands seemed to be about two feet tall--too low for a bedroom TV. I finally found this one, described as a 'TV Stand for Most 32" TVs and Some 36" TVs', but I have to think that refers to conventional tube TVs. It's fine for my 37" LCD TV, because its base is much smaller than the TV stand's width (35.5"). I'd think this stand could be used for even larger flat-screen TVs. — — My boyfriend volunteered to put the stand together. It was much more complicated than anything I've put together, with some things that were confusing and even scary (if not assembled correctly, the stand could come apart later on). I doubt I would have been able to assemble it myself. I didn't know it at the time, but the Sauder web site has Assembly Tips consisting of videos that...

I saw the "conversational" sofa, chair and ottoman. I though the lines interesting and the fact I could custom upholster was a real plus. We paid above our projected budget based on the reputation of the store and thier high recommendation for FlexSteel. It was suppose to be of high quality with lifetime replacement on cushion cores if they ever failed. Well, they did. Not only the cores, but the back of the sofa began to come away from the main frame. As a quick fix when we were to have company, we tapped the staples back into the sofa. The gap was about 7 inches at that time and you could feel the staples with your finger. It was not the fabric that was failing, it was the structure itself. The gap is now over 12 inches! It looks awful. Its falling apart. The original sales lady did call me 2 days after I went back to the store. She said she would order the cores,...

The furniture wasn't there when we moved and we were forced to bring along whatever old furniture we needed to play the waiting game with the contractor for delivery of the new furniture. We ran into several lost purchase orders, and the week or two of waiting turned into about 3 months before everyone had the furniture delivered. My office furniture was picked out by the department head and I was surprised when it was finally delivered. At last I had a new desk set and everything in my office matched. I got a HON 92000 Contemporary Veneer Desk Set delivered and set up in my office. — — HON 92000 Contemporary Veneer Furniture — — This is a decent quality of office furniture and my set came in a Mahogany finish.

I wonder why!!!! I also heard they are great for the college student who doesnt have much storage well please fellow college students dont waste your student loan on these bags, buy plastic and you wont be picking up your laundry off the dirty ground like I had too when I had these bags. Now for bed bath and beyond .....good store great prices on some things but what you would pay for laundry bags like the pop up bag is horrible. You are paying for the name " Bed Bath and Beyond" not what the bag is actually...

We are always eating in the living room and I cant stand to get food all over the floor or get wet stains on our actual living room tables and these have come in handy many times. The frame to hold the set of 4 is so easy to put together that it took me like 5 minutes and these store away nicely in a little corner of the house or even in a closet. Easy to assemble and let people eat or write in comfort. Great height too for sitting on a couch or chair....

I feel they should just be a little stronger as they will rip with you put too many clothes in them and try to carry it. The wire will bent and come out. —...

However, with the Sauder Student Computer Desk I am a bit disappointed in it's stability.  The keyboard area has not proved very sturdy even after carefully placing it on properly.  (Sauder product assembly is extremely easy)  After minimal usage the keyboard area loosened more and more and I've purchased other desks and book shelves from this awesome company.  This particular desk, I would have to say had I known it would be like it is I would have brought it right back and purchased something...

A poster child for corporate cost reduction gone wild. The plywood shelves are simply too small (length and width) and fall through the frame under any reasonable load. It also appears that the frame was designed for a thicker piece of plywood... — — I would go so far to rate these shelves as defective and potentially dangerous in their current state. If Home Despot has any stones they would eat the loss and get these off the market. — — Between this and another recent disappointing purchase I made at Home Despot, I wont be goint there anymore if I can avaoid it. — —...
