BDI Mirage 8222, Enclosed A/V Tower ( Satin Black with Black Glass Top) Review

BDI Mirage 8222, Enclosed A/V Tower ( Satin Black with Black Glass Top)
Average Reviews:

While I love this rack I must admit that at $1,000. I think a fair price for this BDI unit would be about around $700.
The unit ships assembled which seems odd; there's really no reason to do this and I'm sure this only adds to shipping and production cost.
The Door and Top are glass. I love how the door has a slow close feature.
The unit is a bit bigger than I thought and I wish they made a unit that was one shelf smaller. I removed the wheels to lower the unit since I won't ever move it more than a few inches.
Overall I like the design and quality but I wish it was less expensive.

Racor PIW-1R/PIW-1W Pro Wall-Mount Bike Hanger Review

Racor PIW-1R/PIW-1W Pro Wall-Mount Bike Hanger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The rubber covering the hook rips within two weeks of using the hook, coming off and then the sharp metal edge of the hook scratched the wheel rims. TWO of these hooks did this, so its a major design flaw. and the metal bends out over time, meaning that you have to bend it back in.
Look elsewhere for a good hook, one with a a round metal hook and rubberized coating rather than a cheap rubber cap like this one.

This is the simplest, smallest, and least noticeable bike rack you can buy. Measuring only 5"H x 2-1/4"D x 5"W this rack allows your bicycle to be hung by one wheel. It has a PVC cushioned sleeve to protect the wheels from scratching or gouging. It can be mounted to any wall or ceiling for versatility. Created from epoxy coated, laser cut 12-gauge steel; the hook won't bend or rust and as there is no assembly required, the hanger mounts easily in just minutes!

Entertainment Credenza in Ebony - Bedford - 88-5531-10 Review

Entertainment Credenza in Ebony - Bedford - 88-5531-10

After touring nearly every local furniture store, and scouring the internet marketplace... I landed on this contemporary entertainment center.
POSITIVES: The dimensions are PERFECT for storing stereo/audio equipment side-by-side (LOTS of real-estate), and neatly stow a center channel speaker just underneath the table-top (mine is 8.5" high, which I fit inside the compartment during assembly). The style & finish are really great. We've gotten lots of complements. Storage is GREAT with the two side cabinets
NEGATIVES: The assembly was complicated and time consuming. Several pieces did not fit-up properly, and required filling & re-drilling of holes for hardware installation. If you don't have a lot of patience & moderate mechanical skills, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Once assembled, I attempted to move the entertainment center by lifting up on the table-top... to have it rip apart. Several of the cheap CAM-LOCKS completely failed simply under the weight of the furniture itself! At this point, I was ready to return the item, but instead spent an additional $50 @ home depot on brackets, braces, & screws to beef it up. After blowing ~ 15 hours putting this all together, the unit is nice & sturdy (as it should have been in the first place).
BEWARE - although the fit, finish, and style of this unit is great... It has SERIOUS quality and construction issues!

BDI Marina 8729-2, Triple Wide Enclosed Cabinet ( Gloss White) Review

BDI Marina 8729-2, Triple Wide Enclosed Cabinet ( Gloss White)
Average Reviews:

There is a big difference between TV stands and TV furniture, this is the latter.
Be advised this unit is BIG and HEAVY, even with the hidden wheels its tough to move fully loaded on carpet (as expected). Ventilation is good, not great, gear still gets hot. IR not affected by the glass.
All my gear fits inside with room to spare, Xbox 360, PS3, AVR (had amp and pre-pro in before, Wii, center channel, network hub and NAS, could easily fit a cable box + something else inside. Good wire management.
Doors will need adjustment upon arrival as noted in the manual, not difficult at all.
Fingerprint magnet! Gloss white probably not so much.
I'll assume this is just MDF with really nice glass and finish, which is too bad (unless it holds up) given the pricetag...but it was the only one that I liked the look of. I'm certain you could find something cheaper but equally nice.

Sanus Systems Cfr115-B1 34-Inch 15U Foundations Component Rack Review

Sanus Systems Cfr115-B1 34-Inch 15U Foundations Component Rack

So I flip flopped on what I wanted for a while. Couldn't decide if I wanted a piece of furniture or a rack... Then I though I wanted a rack built into a cabinet, but those were all so expensive. Decided to go with the Sanus CFR115 34 inch. First impression was, 'great it came pre assembled'. This thing was pretty heavy to move, need a hand. Once on the included casters, it a piece of cake to move around.
Great Value imho, came with shelves and extra screws. It is a bit large, but I know that going into this.
Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased two of them for a Samsung 50" and a Panasonic 58" Plasma TV...the tubular support systems to mount the TV's were much to weak to handle the job...but even without doing this I kept them anyway and used them as tables for the units...the decent price and the hassle of returning them were the deciding factors...very nice looking units...just don't expect to use them as advertised for larger plasma TV's

Black Tilt/Tilting Wall Mount Bracket for Hitachi 42HDS69 Plasma HDTV TV/Television Review

This TV mount bracket was easy to install and is very solid. I was concerned since my plasma TV is quite heavy...but no problems. I actually hung from it without any issues. The seller (Skakawack) sent out a missing piece as soon as I let them know it was missing. All in all, great product.
