Furinno 4-Tier Multipurpose Shelf Rack, Americano/Black

Fácil montaje y producto recomendable.

When you live in a small apartment, you desperate for space. That’s what it gave to me, space and order. I think the picture talk by itself, but I just want to mention to be careful about the weight it can support. I knew these shelves are not made for heavy loads, it is specified on the description, no more than 25 lbs per shelf, so I chose the bottom right tablet to put my sewing machine in her organizer because I knew I would have to support it one way or another, so I added a piece of wood under as you can see on the picture if you pay attention.

This said, I’m very happy about this purchase and the different size of each of them. They also came on time, they were very well packed and truly easy to install, one person only. Now, it’s clean, pretty, and with all the boxes gone, it looks organize and the apartment seems bigger.

I do recommend them.

First of all, super easy to put together! Had it together in less than 10 minutes. Second, I do admit the shelf is a little more flimsy than I expected, but it works fine for my doll collection. Cute color and very spacious. I do recommend this shelf, but it does feel a little expensive for the quality. Overall though, I’m very pleased and would buy another in the future.

I have purchased FIVE of these for my home, I’d buy more, and I recommend them to everyone. It is tool free, easy to build, and I’ve never had an issue with any of them. They are sturdy and large enough to hold a large crock pot, a rubber tree in a heavy ceramic pot, as well as withstand the rigors of a toddler without any wobble or breakage. My son has a wide but not very deep closet, and since he is very young it isn’t really possible to hang clothes for him in there. So instead, I used these and “DIMJ Closet Storage Bins, Fabric Closet Organizer, Trapezoid Storage Bin, Foldable Closet Organizers and Storage for Clothes Toys Towel Books.” also from Amazon and made him a “custom closet built in” to store all of his toys. I use one in the kitchen to store large items, and I gave one away because they’re fantastic. They can be used in storage rooms, closets, garages, laundry rooms, anything you can think of. They also don’t look or feel cheap, even though they’re very inexpensive! 10/10 worth it, need more 🙂

Having gotten back into the hobby of model building in the last few years I have found myself quickly running out of existing display space and after one too many glaring disapprovals from the wife every time I had to pull the old switcheroo and replace one of her photos or Knick Knacks with my latest completed project, I knew it was time for some additional shelves.

I decided on the Furinno Turn-N-Tube 5-Tier Shelves based upon it seemingly to be a fairly decent size at a fairly reasonable price. In other words, it was cheap. It also seemed like it would be easy to put together, which if you are someone like me who is both mechanically uninclined and still bear the emotional scars of trying to put together one too many IKEA purchases with their hundreds of parts, keeping it simple stupid is the main goal in home furnishing decisions.

This last point gives the product high marks on its own as it was a simple matter of placing the plastic tubes through the four corners of each shelf and hand screwing the one above it together, continuing this till all five shelves were erected. The entire process took all of 10 minutes and involved no utterance of salty language. If only everything in life could be this stress free. It probably could have easily been assembled in half the time had I not had to stop several times to pay attention to the cat who was fascinated by “The New Thing in The House” and also wanted me to hurry up so she could have the empty box it came in.

As far as the quality, the shelves themselves seem fairly strong despite being kind of thin and the finish is passable. I’m not sure how much weight they will support, but I think it’s safe to say I wouldn’t trust it to hold one’s bowling ball collection or for a dumbbell rack. Also, while it’s relatively stable on its own, but still kind of wobbly for my total piece of mind. If one chooses not to use the optional wall anchor that comes with it, I could easily see a tchotchkes disaster in the making during an earthquake (not an issue where I live) or cats that like to seek the highest spot in the house to look down upon their human servants (a million times more likely for me). There is only one anchor included and I would recommend the purchase of at least one more and tying them to the wall at both ends.

At a little over four and a half feet in height, even the topmost shelf is easy to reach for all but a small child, though the bottommost should probably be reserved for books or something like that as anything one wants to specifically show off, like your vast collection of Franklin Mint or Beanie Babies that are now worth less than when you purchased them, will not be very visible at floor level.

Overall, it is a relatively good product for the price as long as you remember the saying of getting what you pay for. Though obviously not as good as a quality metal shelf or glass door cabinet, but neither is it some flimsy contraption your kid made in shop class to complement the lamp that blew out your home wiring and almost caused a fire (still sorry about that, Mom) It is squarely in the middle and should meet anyone’s lite display or storage needs. If there is any significant drawback, I’ve found is that even with the new shelves I am already running out of display space. Again. So is life.
