Quality construction - NOT

Like the other reviewers I had the same issues.
Loose knobs,
bottom draw came apart,
knives fall out after lid is lowered.
spend another twenty bucks for the wood type.

I so much wanted to like this bookshelf.  I bought 3 of them to go in my office and from a visual appeal perspective they look great.  I really like the height of them - not too tall to conveniently place things on top for my height.  I have them lined up on a single wall in my office.  Unfortunately, the  underlying construction is lacking.  The wood is not as thick and sturdy as I was hoping.  You can push one end of the shelf unit and the entire structure bows a little.  On one, the unit was so poorly assembled that one side of the bookshelf didn't allow the shelves to fit properly creating a outward "bow" in the side so that two of the windowed panels actually fall out every time you open them because there's too much room to hold them in solid.  All of the windowed panes are somewhat loose with lots of play in their tracking.  For what I paid, very disappointing.  I didn't want to go through the hassle of having them returned and new ones shipped so I'll have to live with panels that fall out in my hands every time I want to retrieve a book from those shelves.  The varnish on them was also very strong and it took months before my office smelled normal again (even after leaving doors and windows open for days).  If you're looking for a solid piece of furniture to last you a long time, you may want to pass on these.  You can buy less expensive units that are built similarly but still have visual appeal.

Update - months later:  I found a way to fix the construction flaw in one of the bookshelves I received and was able to make it work just fine.  Unfortunately, I had to add some nails which were visual from the outside of the bookshelves which is a minor issue and likely won't be noticed if I don't point it out.

The seam came undone right after I washed it upon arrival which I thought was bad but didn't return the item. However after I washed it for the 4th time, one of the fitted sheet corners split open. We are still using these sheets because it's cold where we live. The fabric is nice & soft but the construction leaves a lot to be desired. We wanted flannel sheets with deep pockets which this set has & were pleased with that. I will not purchase another set of these. It would be better to spend more & get better quality because these won't last more than one winter. I should have returned them right away but didn't & now I regret it.

I wanted to like this chair, as it has a lot of great features for a low price. Unfortunately, the quality of construction just isn't there to back it up. When the chair arrived there was a plastic ring in the mounting point for the chair back that had been cracked during shipping. This made assembling the chair an ordeal, requiring a screwdriver to wedge the plastic ring out of the way until I could get the chair back properly seated. But I thought, fine, one snag isn't the end of the world. Then I attached the arms, and realized that they smelled. Like, intensely. I went so far as to even scrub them with soapy water, but this intense rubber smell just filled up whatever room the chair was placed in. It finally went away after about a month. Then, when using the chair normally the plastic casing holding the arm rest pad onto the arm of the chair cracked. The pad came off completely, so now my chair has an unusable arm rest. I hate to be so negative but I've run into so many deal-breaking problems with this one that I felt a one star rating was necessary. I'm going to be returning it shortly and trying another product.

This shelf functions adequately for what it is designed:  it will hold your books up off the floor.  The color is as it is described and it looks like the photos in the listing.  However, I thought this was the same as the other four of these that I had ordered over the last 6 years; but when it arrived I was very surprised on a couple of levels.

First, the boxes were much smaller than those I've ordered before.... it turns out I had to put them together!  For the non-mechanical, be aware that this item arrives completely unassembled:  except for the hinges on the uprights, you have to assemble this shelf.  That would be fine if the holes were predrilled, but not all were.  Some that were predrilled had been filled in with wood filler and then re-drilled in a more exact location.  So, the assembly was not simple even for me, an experienced wood worker; it took me over 45 minutes to assemble this.  It will take longer if you do not own a drill, and have no quality screws and brackets on hand. The others I've purchased arrived assembled except that I had to unfold them and snap the shelves into place.

Second, the quality is not the same as the earlier shelves.  Aside from the drilling errors in the uprights, there are major knots on the upright supports and in the shelves.  The underside of the shelves are not sanded or finished.  That's not a functional problem since the undersides are not exposed to view.  However, it is a practical issue given that the intent is to be able to fold this unit when not in use -- and then those sliver-producing undersides are a problem.

Because these stack using the rounded tops/bottoms and metal braces, they are not compatible with the earlier versions of the shelf.  Earlier versions were sturdier in the stacking process with pins holding the top of one into the bottom of the next in addition to strong metal brackets screwed to each along the back.  This shelf uses a rounded top that nestles into the reciprocal shape on the bottom of the next unit (no pegs  -- think of the way celery wraps itself around the underlying layer) with a very flimsy alloy bracket held on with very flimsy screws.

Which brings me to the metal hardware:  it is of mediocre quality.  The screws they sent to hold the shelf brackets on to the uprights (where the predrilled holes did not exist except as 1/100th inch dimples) were so poor in quality that the Phillips head screwdriver stripped the top of the screw before it even began to turn even though I had drilled the hole for the screw!  I had to replace them with better quality.  I would never trust the metal bracket that attaches stacked units together since one arrived bent in the package.

Once stacked, these units have limited use on the shelf where the two units come together.  The height under the bottom shelf of the first and the corresponding height of the top shelf of the next are not equal to the height of the other two shelves. This means that only "short books" can be placed on this now middle shelf.

Finally, despite my adjustments, I cannot get these units to stand level.  The legs are not exactly the same length, so the unit rocks.  Once I put heavy books on the unit, the weight of the books prevented it from rocking, but if you plan to use this for light weight loads, it would be a safety issue.

If you are looking for an excellent quality set of shelves, skip this one and choose another.  If you need a quick, inexpensive solution to get your books off of the floor, this will do adequately.

Contrary to what's described, this product is not constructed of spruce but rather common pine.  I'm not sure the substitution is significant, but it certainly reflects unfavorably upon the seller.  As for construction, minimal effort was made to smooth cuts and drill holes.  That said, the frame went together well (i.e. the components meshed) and once assembled, seemed sturdy enough.  As others have mentioned, only three of the slats are affixed to the frame.  If you decide to screw the others in, pre-drill the holes otherwise the pine will split.  The cover fit well and seems relatively durable.  Bottom line, the product performs the job, although at what I suspect is a somewhat inflated price.

Purchased for work phone. Quality appeared fine- strong magnet, thick material construction...however, the weak link-the stitching holding the belt clip gave way within a few weeks of ownership.  In part, this was due to snagging the holster on an office chair arm, but was disappointed that holster wasn't strong enough to survive a "chair snagging". Will not be buying again.

Decent quality for price. Not commercial grade by any stretch.

If you want quality - this is not the droid you are looking for!

Worked well for 3 months, but poor construction quality - one earbud separated (no damage, just detached where it is glued together) and is no longer usable.  Sony does not stand by product and considers it damage even though there is no product damage (mint condition other than the 2 loosened pieces) so I would stay away from these. Note - bought the protection plan but that doesnt cover anything since they're still under Sonys guarantee - don't waste your money on those plans either.

I paid $47 for this table, which I expected to be a sturdy, low profile, portable table.  This table is anything other that sturdy.
Construction & Assembly Issues:
The entire table is made from extruded aluminum.  The four (4) legs are fastened to the expandable/elastic-linked top by way of a small diameter single threaded stud.  The legs are about 1" diameter and the threaded stud is approximately 1/4" diameter thread.  There is a press-in nut, which is less that a 1/4" thick, in the top of the table to retain the stud.  A crossbar is placed between the leg end and the table and extends to one of the other legs.  This gives the table top "solidity".  As shown in the pictures, the legs do not stand perpendicular to the top surface and trying to tighten the legs until all the legs are positioned in their most stable condition can easily lead to breakage of the threaded stud.  Tightening the legs until the crossbars are snug is not always possible, for fear of breakage.
Design changes needed:
1.  Larger thread on legs to provide more surface area and reduce instability.
2.  Adding angled supports to legs or a socket interface for the leg attachment to improve stability.
Current design usage:
Leaning the table against a solid object will help stabilize the table so a couple of glasses and chips can be placed on top without spilling.  I would not recommend this table to be use without additional support, better yet, I would not recommend this table for anything other than keeping beach blankets from blowing away.

The seller has posted a timer and a sand hourglass on the same page. This is a review of the timer (to avoid confusion).

This is a big digital clock with a count down/up timer and alarms

Pros:
- Very large easily visible display
- Compact design
- Loud beeping alarm
- Up/down timer
- In-built clock
- Battery is included (big plus, since most products don't seem to do that)
- Retractable stand at the back
- Well packaged

Cons:
- Low strength magnet (not strong at all. I tried putting the clock on my refrigerator and it kept sliding down. The magnet was not strong enough to support the weight of the clock and not let it slide.)
- Unstable position for magnet: The product is not well designed. If you stick the clock to the refrigerator (and somehow stop it from sliding)and try to press any button, the unit jumps off the refrigerator, which brings me to the next point
- Low quality construction - The unit fell from the refrigerator (a height of probably 4 feet) since the magnet was not strong enough. Immediately the gray side bars popped out and I had to somehow put them back in. Construction quality needs to be better, especially since there is no reason for a customer to get access to the internal circuitry from the side gray bars.

I am taking off two stars for the construction quality and the low strength magnet, but for $10 it's not too terrible. Plus it comes with a batter included. The manufacturer sent me a sample to try and review. If you have any questions, please do comment and I will try my best to answer them. If this review helped you to make a decision, then please do mark it as helpful.

Two of my larger cats weigh 17 lbs. One is tall and the other one stout. This tree is quite sturdy and will not topple over no matter how hard my "kids" play on it. Plus, the cradle size is adequate (16" x 16".) The whiskers are a thoughtful touch and appear very durable to chew on. However, the top opening of the tunnel is too small for large cats. They are (barely) able to squeeze in through the bottom. My big disappointment comes with the quality of the carpeting. Literally, it was falling apart. Brand new, there were little round bald patches all over the top cradle and on the edges. I sent it back ASAP. Too bad too, because my entire brood loved the cradle immediately. And I imagine over time, would have gotten used to the tunnel.

This hitch is well made and I liked the idea of the powder coated finish for durability.  When unpacking I noted the lack of cushioning inside the box.  No paper, foam, bubblewrap - nothing.  The hitch was simply placed in the box and the box sealed to ship. To be fair there was no damage from this lack of packing.  I inspected the entire hitch for signs of any shipping damage, and found none. Then I removed two protective paper wrappings on the main square cross tube and noticed that the powdercoat was chipped off in two separate locations with bare metal exposed.  The protective paper wrappings were not torn or damaged at these locations.  They were not something that a person packing the box would install, they were factory installed after production to provide protection to the cross tube.  I can only assume that the powdercoat was chipped prior to these wrappers being applied.  Not cool.

I considered attempting an exchange, but I bought this receiver hitch for what appeared to be at a hefty discount compared to other online pricing, and w/Prime free 2-day shipping, I just decided to live with the flaws and chalk it up to "you get what you pay for".

Then install - 3 out of the 6 mounting holes matched up with my '07 GMC truck frame (2 on one side and 1 on the other).  One hole was off by 1/4".  What could have been a 15 min install, turned into 2 hours as I drilled, filed and dry fit, until I could slide bolts through all holes.  You get what you pay for.

Two weeks later we were towing a travel trailer to the campground, and our trip "went off without a hitch".  Overall, I'm satisfied, but you could say there's room for improvement.

Purchased these boots because I have found good performance with Keen products.  I am somewhat dissappointed with these boots both in quality construction and fit.  Purchased June 1, 2016 and two weeks ago noticed a tear near the laces from poor construction - see picture.  Because I did not respond immediately I am outside the 30 day window and unable to return.  Would not recommend to anyone to purchase this particular boot unless you are okay with the price and limited service life.

Excellent quality materials and construction, but it is too stiff and not soft to the touch.

Pros:
Quality stitching and construction.  This is one mat that will likely last a long time.

Cons:
Backing that goes against the floor is poor at best.  It required me gluing extra non-slip material to the backside to prevent slippage.  The backing that comes on the mat doesn't really hold well at all.  Wonder why the manufacturer even bothered then, as the seam along the edge prevents the material from really contacting the ground.  If it wasn't for the grab-bar installed near the tub, my wife would have lost her head due to the mat slipping out from underfoot.
