Reviews
"The shelf is sturdy and has good height for most all kitchen products."
"After measuring it, I spent quite a bit of time here on Amazon looking for a unit that would fit."
"Sturdy and easy to assemble.."
"I filled it with four electronic cooking devices: toaster, rice cooker, Instant Pot, George Forman Grill. It's plenty sturdy to hold these cooking items, and there is plenty of overhead clearance for each kitchen item."
"*** Added feet and shoes picture ***. When the first unit arrived, I found a leveling foot arrived separated from its shoe, which had broken into pieces. I decide to continue unpacking the unit while checking for other problems that had been reported relating to a bent frame, warped shelves, questionable welds, detached parts, sharp edges and, especially, feet that won’t screw in. I didn’t even try to screw in the feet (the subject of numerous complaints). Both of my problems could have been caused in shipping, although I’m curious why the feet were not tucked into some nook or cranny, instead of being placed on top of the unit, where it would be subjected to who knows what during shipping. This time the feet arrived unscathed. I have the following suggestions if you should decide to purchase this unit. If the feet pass inspection, see if you are able to screw them into the legs. Now, visually inspect the unit for other reported problems, such as detached parts or sharp edges."
"None of the shelves are adjustable in height; taller items (big shampoo bottles etc) can only be placed on top shelf to avoid laying them down & causing spills."
"Strong, sturdy open metal work."
"As I assembled it i noticed i put one of the shelves in the wrong place, as I pulled it to.move it, it broke and can not be securely attached to the correct place (the shelf holder isn't tight on the rack)."

The moral of the story is you can improve the look and function of your home in under 5 minutes. Standard wall plate covers included for all of you manly men out there, and Decora wall plate covers included for style.
Reviews
"My first idea was FINALLY I could find a place to get my electric toothbrush off the bathroom counter and wrap the cord in such a way that I could only plug it in when it needed to be charged but when it is unplugged the cord doesn’t get in my way. There’s not a lot to the gadget, just choose from either the standard duplex outlet plate or the Decora-type outlet plate (both included INCLUDING screws so you don’t get, well you know) and attach to an already existing wall (wall NOT included). Oh and those included outlet plates? Would be nice to have some sort of tiny cord clip to hold an unused cord to the underside of the shelf when it’s not plugged in (not good to leave the electric toothbrush plugged in 24/7 … or my $1k iPhone either)."
"Just two weeks ago I told my husband that someone needs to create a solution for shelving these items that need to be constantly tethered to electricity, and voila!"
"This nifty shelf allows the Echo Dot to sit there, easily accessible yet out of the way and with no power cords hanging all over the place..yet still allows for another item to be plugged in. Comes with two plate faces: standard two outlet rounded plug-in, and another if you have the square more modern one piece dual plug in style. Looks even better if you opt to purchase the Echo product in white :winks: Could not be happier and have zero negative things to say. (side note: the manufacturers include an instruction/installation sheet that is a quirky, silly, fun read lol - it'll put a smile on your face)."
"My daughter always forgets to charge the battery in the speaker and so she'd stack it on top of a tissue box so her cord would reach."
"It's BIG, not unexpectedly big but if you buy it for a phone realize this beast is made for a Google Home or similar."
"It implies there's somewhere to coil the excess cable out of sight (I had hoped given the thickness of the shelf, the top came off to coil the cable there), but there's not."

Style Name: Toilet Paper Holder |. Color: Bronze. FREE STANDING TOILET ROLL HOLDER: Never be without toilet paper again. Thanks to InterDesign Classico Free Standing Toilet Paper Holder you’ll always have toilet paper in stock in your bathroom.
Reviews
"I used it with the large/jumbo size charmin toilet paper and it does fit in the space between my toilet and vanity in our small bathroom. While it is convenient that you can just slip the roll of toilet paper on the dispenser that is open and don't have to mess with any fasteners, the toilet paper roll does tend to slip off as you unroll it for use. My biggest complaint though is that even when completely filled with toilet paper it is too light - it easily falls over either if very gently knocked or if you aren't careful when pulling the toilet paper off the roll."
"i live in an apartment and well my bathroom is shaped in a way that there is no easy place to put a TP wall mount anywhere an the ones that sit on surface ( at least for me ) would get wet from the sync."
"I took my old tissue holder down as I remodeled my bathroom."
"My only complaint is that if you pull the toilet paper from a certain angle it will fall off the holder."
"I love the convenience of holding rolls and the easy change."
"All of our toilet paper dispensers that came with our apartment were placed at awkward angles that made using toilet paper and refilling the dispenser a chore."
"My daughter has a couple of tissue holders in her home and I noticed how wonderfully convenient they are to use."
"So simple and functional and looks great!"

Quick, easy installation with included guided template and mounting bracket. Towel Bars posts are die cast from highest quality zinc alloy.
Reviews
"The screws and bolts needed for these are in small bags, literally jammed inside the ends of the rack. They really need to work on a more consumer friendly was to package this like...oh...I don't know...just putting the bag of screws in the package and not jammed inside the tubing that required fishing out with screwdrivers, shaking it, and getting to the point of throwing it against a wall in hopes that will set the screws loose!"
"The rod and holder is plastic but seems to hold up fine.trust me my kit dropped it out the door{don't ask] and well no flaking or chipping."
"With a little outside guidance, and using the included wall template and a level, we managed to install the bar within 5 minutes and it looks great."
"The simple and classic design matched our existing cabinet knobs and wasn't nearly as fussy as the other bathroom hardware available by major manufacturers Really like the brushed nickel finish, but wish that the bar had been a slightly heftier weight."
"I searched and searched for find what would be perfect for our redecorating project."
"The installation guide comes with a guide to tape on the wall and drill through once leveled."
"My apartment building didn't have a towel bar, so I needed to buy one online."

Reviews
"great product, I have 7 of these and have had no trouble, adjust the switches inside like the others and you are in business, unless you never changed the factory default code, when I first set up my gate opener I found out that my neighbor about 300 ft away gates was opening and closing every time I pushed the button on the remote, so I changed the switches inside the remote and learned the gate opener the new code, works perfect, all remotes have to be set the same but that only takes a small screwdriver and open the remote and change the switches."
"It just works!"
"I was using the keypad to operate the gate but I am moving away from the keypad because it is battery operated only and I consider this unreliable for a keypad."
"I've been having to open the gate using the key pad, which is a pain, for so long because I lost my other remote."
"Works really well with our Mighty Mule cable lock."
"Got the double pack for a backup, works perfectly with my gate."

Best Window Hardware

Duck Brand Indoor 10-Window Shrink Film Insulator Kit, 62-Inch x 420-Inch, 281506
Crystal clear film heat shrinks to seal out drafts and cold.
Reviews
"One option is to double the plastic when installing it. According to how cold it is in your area, one layer may be okay but I find that for the price two is better."
"For those of you who are in doubt of their own capacity and ability to properly install this like I was, DO NOT FEAR. Blow Drying Tip: when blowdrying, rather than blowing at the wrinkled area directly, sway the blow dryer gently around the wrinkle itself and the wrinkle will come out much faster. Feel free to read the rest of my reviews on Amazon: I rarely write reviews here, but when I do, it's because I had a bit of doubt myself when purchasing it, but turned out to exceed my wildest imaginations."
"Have ten windows in the home, so got two Duck 1299529 window shrink film kits, and a low cost Jerdon 1600 watt blow drier. Wiped the dust off the trim with a damp paper towel per window, dried, then used one of the four faces on each alcohol wipe for each side of the window trim. Lift an inch or so of the tape off the roll, grab one end, and pull on one side until you hear/feel a soft pop, then the other side the same way. Peel back the protective cover an inch or two, cut the half inch off of the messed up tape with your scissors, and and fold the cover crease) to one side ninety degrees. Leave at least two or three inches of extra film on each side. I did the top first, then a side, then the other side, then the bottom."

"Heavy stainless great satin finish."
"Great handle pulls; however, out of a box of 25, one was not usable since it did not have a threaded insert in one of the holes."
"I was very surprised at the quality of this product, especially compared to similar overpriced products available at most local big-box stores."
"My neighbor just put the same style pulls in their new kitchen and the paid $4.50 a peice for them they can't beilve how much I paid and how great they look."
"Best part they have this same model in different finishes so I was able to update all my pulls and have matching designs while keeping the color schemes the same in my bathrooms and kitchen."
"I did have to use longer screws than what was offered, but that is due to having thick real oak cabinet doors and drawers."
"I won't even discuss the type of handles they replaced; but, I will say they were pretty ugly."
"A few have some chips on them, I guess I could probably contact seller a bout possible replacement but overall they are great for the value compared to local store."

"I bought these because my sofa kept sliding all over my tile floor."
"After reading the reviews from other people about how the rubber and felt can separate so the adhesive can get on the floor, I only put these under things we will not be sitting on or will potentially be moved around - dresser night stands, etc."
"My new apartment has new hardwood floors that would've been ruined if I hadn't gotten some kind of pad underneath the legs of my huge chair-and-a-half."
"I used the adhesive to attach the pads to the feet of the couch and wa-la!"
"I did 4 and tried to move the couch a little from the opposite end, and it won't budge! Have half the couch done and waiting on my girlfriend to get here to see the difference."

Depending on the accessories that you get for it you can use the same pole that held crown molding in place for you one day as a load jack in your pickup truck the next. Reaches 5-to 12-feet; Action lever for secure pressure.
Reviews
"I also love when you lower or raise the heights they have a line on side of the pole so you can bypass a ball snap spot which makes it very fast to slide the poles to set up and tear down, They are VERY strong in holding power when you pump the handle, meaning a strong fit that bumped wont fall over As a matter of fact to much pump and you'll hear the drywall grown lol My guys love that one person can easily set this up. and a flat metal waser that after you put your plastic on the pole end then its actually a snap noise when the metal washer conmnects to the top of the pole. the palstic to the pole. The only thing thats a little tough is squezing the little balls in to lower or raise the teloscope part Godd news the balls have good springs."
"I would place the center of the strut where it needed to be and hold it in place with one hand and then grab the 3rd Hand with the other and place it under the strut and then squeeze the lever to clamp it against the strut to hold it in place against the ceiling."
"Put them to use right out of the box...then at the close of the day, went back to Amazon and hit the "Buy Again" button and got two more. Couldn't be happier about finding this elegant solution to a wide range of work lifting and bracing challenges."
"Great poles."
"I thought it was a little hard to figure out how to use these at first (I couldn't find any instructions), but essentially you use the buttons on the sides as large adjustments and the handle as a very small adjustment - it's hard to see the effect of the handle at first because the movement is so small."
"I was looking for a solution for how to mount the HTC Vive's lighthouse base stations, I used these in conjunction with Smallrig's Clamp Mount V1 w/ Ball Head Mount Hot Shoe Adapter and Cool Clamp, and it has made an excellent mounting solution!"
"I may buy two more, they're great for sealing off part of a work area by running plastic sheeting from bottom to top and sealing it well from dust and debris."
"Right now I have to tap the ratchet mechanism with a hammer each time it sticks to get it to release."

Reviews
"I've always been tempted to order a Ring, but if you're like me, you've read the reviews and the many horror stories about how bad the product is. I then disassembled my old doorbell and installed the two existing wires to the back of the Ring 2 circuit board. Although the video stated that it did not matter which wire attached to either screw on the back of the circuit board, in my case it did. I then mounted the Ring 2 to my door frame with the 4 provided screws, and made sure everything was level. Once mounted, I adjusted the motion sensor zones and live view settings via the Ring app on my iPhone. I got the notification instantly, connected via the Ring app, and was able to talk and hear her perfectly."
"Before I got the Chime Pro, the signal strength on my Ring Wi-Fi was "Poor" to "Good"."
"after I have installed the new product from Ring, the Ring Door Chime Pro, which is also a Wi-Fi extender, the time lag has been reduced to less than 1 second."
"in my new home i ordered the ring video doorbell 2 and it was easier than the first time around, trust me im a single mom with 2 kids who interrupt anything i do."
"After receiving an inoperative unit, Amazon replaced it, the second unit was received swiftly, it did work and was simple to install."
"Nice way to keep track of package deliveries and generally what's going on around your front door."
"Excellent picture and sound. Glad I bought it."
"We had a few problems getting it to connect to our Wi-Fi, but Ring customer service was great and got us online in no time."

Reviews
"Great product."
"Word of warning however to anyone who may find themselves in a similarly odd situation, the building I am in is quite old and has been painted an absurd amount of times, and for one heavier picture frame (a vinyl record display), the adhesive of these strips held strong but the many layers of paint it was stuck to actually peeled off the wall and down went the frame. The command strip never let go of the paint, but it was too much weight for the paint to handle and the paint left the wall."
"I have one large oil painting (about 5x5 ft) that has been hanging on my dining room wall for over three years with only four of these strips."
"One note, when ordering multiple packs on Amazon, use the quantity button on the right (or on the checkout screen)."
"I love that I can just replace the wall strip to somewhere else and stick it back up."
"After watching my husband measure, remeasure, nail holes in the wall and/or the back of picture frames, then use the level....a simple project turns into an all day event for his OCD mind."
"These are some nice hanging strips."
"A strip will come loose from the picture frame when you least expect it, including in the middle of the night."

Best Hardware Adhesives & Sealers

Gorilla 6035180 Tape, Black Duct Tape, 1.88" x 35 yd, Black, (Pack of 1)
Made with double thick adhesive, strong reinforced backing, and a tough all-weather shell, it’s the biggest, strongest, toughest thing ever to happen to duct tape. It sticks to Rough and uneven surfaces, including wood, stone, stucco and brick, that ordinary duct tapes can't hold. It is important to clean the surface and brush off any loose particles and dirt before applying Gorilla tape. to retain adhesive quality, store Gorilla tape in a cool, dry place. Try storing the tape vertically (rather than laying flat), on a hook or on wax paper. Great for indoor or outdoor use and made to stick to Rough, uneven, unforgiving surfaces like wood, stone, stucco, plaster, brick and more.
Reviews
"I was specifically interested in the adhesiveness and tensile strength of the 3 leading brands of black duct tape. The rubber adhesiveness when tested on a variety of surfaces did not reveal a discernible difference between the 3 brands. As one comment said, “It’s ALIVE!”. The Scotch tape is crinkled or wavy on the roll and if cut cleanly, the edge is hard to locate. For years, at the end of the fireplace season, I have placed a heavy tarp over the top of a brick chimney and secured it with black duct tape. I took several samples of each brand and folded the tape, adhesive side in, creating double-thickness strips 1/2-inch wide. I placed one end in a bench vice with padded jaws so the metal would not break the tape. A new Rapala digital fishing scale hooked to the Vice-Grip would reveal at what weight the strip of tape would break. The Scotch TOUGH Heavy Duty Tape broke at a mere 5 pounds."
"I used this to wrap around the joint between to bee hives in order to prevent wind from getting in... within a day, the tape came off of the painted wood and did not hold."
"My grandson was desk corner high and just learning to walk. He has even HUNG from them and picked his feet up off the ground, he's 30+ pounds."
"I like that it is black and blends in better than Duct Tape's normal silver color."
"This stuff sticks like crazy and I've used it in the place of other repair tapes and it seems to work just as well or better."
"I could tape the bumper on my car with it, hit 100mph and that sucker wouldn’t budge."
"This stuff is the bomb, it really works well."

Reviews
"The numbers of our previous lock boxes were hard to read in the poor lighting of night. The lever inside the box that must be moved "up" to change the combination took quite a force to do just that. We've used two other kinds of lock boxes before and neither one of them required an extra tool just to change the combination."
"I should add that the keys had a small label with them so it does hold enough for what I would imagine is a typical need."
"Just last week, lined up the combination, lever was depressed (only able to depress with correct combination), but the box wouldn't open. Same combination was entered, lever was depressed, but the box wouldn't open."
"I work in real estate and we used this lockbox for years until recently when we were unable to open one with the combo we had on file. We were about to cut it off the fence, when I had an idea to google ways to open this lock box if you forgot the combo. My search IMMEDIATELY returned several YouTube videos on how to pick this lock."
"Last night we awoke to an intruder in our home who had cut this off our main gate and opened it (likely following the easily googled how-to videos), using the keys inside to enter our home."
"I bought this lock to keep my car key safe while I surf. Once this did not work, he told me that the locking mechanism is missed aligned, and with in 5-7 seconds forced the unlocking lever down and pried open the door. This lock will break at times leaving your valuables unaccessible. It will cost you at a minimun 110 dollars (I did called several to select the lowest priced). 3."

"I was looking for a easy, fast and cheap way to put a grommet is some canvas and I came cross this set."
"Does it's job very well, recommend you make holes while working on a solid ground not a carpet."

Reviews
"Due to a rash of mail theft in my area, I decided to upgrade my locking mail box to something that is more difficult to fish (most of this is people just coming by and reaching in for whatever they can get), as well as more difficult to pry open. The box that it replaces is an older version of the Gibraltar MSK00000 mailbox available here on Amazon and the box stores for about $60. As to prying the box open, while the lock and steel case are noticeably heavier duty than the box it replaces (and other boxes in this price range), I don't believe it would stand up to a serious attempt to pry it open. If the lock stood up (which it well might), I think the door would bend open enough to allow for mail to be taken, and then the door and/or box would need to be replaced. Cons: - For someone looking for a box that can't be pried, you want to look for heavier grade steel and tighter tolerances on fit and finish, so that is not so easy to get a screw driver or other pry tool into the top or sides of the locking door. - Because Mail Boss makes a big deal in their ads about preventing mail theft and showing guys prying open competitors' mail boxes, I rated this a four star product instead of five stars. - For people that want a box that is significantly more secure, Fort Knox mail boxes appear to be one good way to go. You may need a new post install (with a significant concrete base) to hold the mail box which weighs about 100lbs, and you'd be well advised to have two people to install something that heavy."
"As with most people here, there has been a rash of mail thefts in our area so I wanted to get a good locking mailbox. The front mail receive flap is very strong and has a full hinge along its lower edge, I tried to fish my hand in the slot and could not get anywhere in the main box. The lower compartment has a reinforced metal welded front panel and anti-pry feature around the lock - to me this looks pretty hard to open up even with a crow bar. As for a negative, that would be that some water was able to get in, it rained A LOT this weekend and was pretty windy and I did note some minimal water getting in at the bottom of the lower compartment towards the back not sure where it got in from and if that is to be expected with heavy rain, however it does have drainage holes and a liner that holds the mail up from the base so did not effect the mail."
"The "wings" the design includes apparently meant for appearance and weather protection ended making a perfect fulcrum for prying the door open."

Reviews
"(the fancy flashlight takes three batteries). So here I am to buy another J5 Flashlight so that each son can have his own!"
"It easily fits in the palm of my hand and only weights about a pound, so it's very easy to use one handed. How long the battery actually lasts is still up in the air, but I don't see that as a deal breaker seeing as I can easily slap a rechargeable AA in there and not have to worry about buying new batteries all the time regardless of how quickly it drains. I know that it lasts at least a few hours with moderate use because I've been playing with it since I got it."
"I have had the light for about a week and I have had no issues with the light accidentally turning on in my pocket."
"The temperature (color) of the light is a cool white, not a warm white or yellow as with some lights. It is bright, and the beams brightness is evenly distributed and doesn't have any spots brighter than others. The Bushnell TRKR125 in comparison (while also a great flashlight for the price) has a warmer light and the beam is not evenly distributed (attached picture - J5 is the whiter, Bushnell has the bright spot). Cons: I wish the 1" portion of the tube (smaller section under the clip) was longer to make using a mount for a weapon light easier, by reducing the section behind the telescoping beam projector."
"Has great light output, and because of its size it is easy to tuck into a bag, pocket, or glove compartment."

Reviews
"This Solar Lighted Address Plaque is something that I have been searching for for a long time. Even before the sign arrived I received an email from the company with instructions on how to assemble and mount. Yesterday, (Friday) morning I placed the included pole in the desired spot, mounted the sign and finally had my house number in my front yard."
"Because my house sits at the back of the lot, it is impossible to see my house "number" from the street."
"Really wish they had one that had plastic numbers instead of stickers just not sure if they will hold up to harsh winter's."
"My outside lighting is terrible (I rent) so we always had people who who have to make 2 or 3 passes to try to find the house."
"the numbers are large so with the white background it stands out in the day as well."
"Hopefully the street is north of your sign."
"The plastic stand doesn't seem very durable. Too bad the plastic broke that holds it up... now the sign is useless unless I make some sort of stand myself."
"Worked for 2-3 weeks then failed to lose get up."

Reviews
"Some of the instructions are a little unclear, but it was a pretty straight forward set up....there are little holes to put wires in and back out again, but the cap at the bottom prevents cords from just running out the bottom straight down."
"I am sure it would have been quicker if I didn't have my two sons helping out a little to much and forgetting where they set down pieces. No issues with weight or it slowly coming off the wall."
"As soon as I opened the box, I ready saw how to assemble this before I even looked at the instruction.....was like rebuilding a familiar model kit as a kid."
"Instructions for installation were good."
"Keep in mind it is kind of small.But it do the trick.Had to make a small modification on the top and bottom plastic covers so , I can pass the cables thru from top to bottom."
"I really don't love "things"...but I do like some more than others, That said, I was completely satisfied."
"I am very happy with this purchase."
"Nice looking shelves but the screw used to attach the glass shelf to the bracket is a little short."
