This was very easy to assemble. It actually didn't require any tools, as it says. I put my 50" plasma tv on it which is a tank and it look great, feels pretty sturdy. I have to admit, at first I was worried, but it holds it like a champ. It looks really nice too. I assembled it by myself. Be sure everything is tightened enough once you are done. One of my screws loosened. Otherwise, great item so far.

Had two before this one okay with some adaption, the other returned to WalMart as a piece of crap (and paid a lot more for it!). This product is fabulouslooks great, very sturdy, holds our 54" TV great! Sooo easy to assemble, easy instructions to follow, and I did it all by myself without even needing my husbands help! I would purchase this item again and recommend! With Prime it shipped immediately and received a day early! Packaged well to protect the glass. Shelving is spacious enough to hold our DTV box, Xbox, and DVD on top shelf without being crowded. Plenty of room on lower shelves for stereo, DVD AND CD storage, plus looks GREAT!

This TV stand would have rated 5 stars but I can only give it 3 because it came without instructions for mounting the TV or, as a previous review stated, the hardware for mounting a TV to the bracket. I looked at other brackets at Best Buy and they all came with a kit of bolts and spacers to do that job that this kit was lacking. It also was missing an allen wrench (indeed a tool is required) needed to tighten the TV bracket.

I had another problem. The stand came with tiny plastic feet that pop into the base of the stand. These pop out easily when the stand is moved on carpet.

The drawings for assembly were a little bit lacking and there were places where a few words would have helped. For instance the supports for the middle shelf have an up and a down that was not obvious.

On the positive side, this was a well designed, well made stand that looks great and I am very happy with the finished look.

Honest reviews on No Tools Required (95032) 55" 3-in-1 TV Stand With Mounting

Overall, the product was nice. However, the bolts to attach the TV to the mount were not in the kit at all. So, even though I got a new TV stand with a mounting system, I still cannot mount my television until I get bolts that were not there.

The stand is a nice size. It goes well with my living room décor.

Chimney Balloon Fireplace Damper 15"X15" Draft Stopper Pillow Plug Reviews

If, like me, you have bad "downdraft" issues in your house, a Chimney Balloon will help you keep cold air, as well as chimney smell, out of your house.

The product is easy to use. Just position it in the chimney, inflate, top it off a couple of days later (the balloon might contract slightly when the air cools) and you are done for the season. Of course, you can't use your fireplace while it's in, but you can take it out and reinsert it if you want to.

The trickiest part is just getting a good measurement and figuring out the right size. In this regard, I have to give huge compliments to the customer service of the people at Chimney Balloon. One of my two chimneys I got the right size straight away. But the other has been a challenge, and I've made some measurement mistakes. Not once, but twice, Chimney Balloon has allowed me to send items back to them and has replaced them with new items of different size. Jason has been totally committed to my satisfaction. It's rare to get service that good, so when you do, you want to talk about it.

If you need a balloon product to block air flow down your chimney, I strongly recommend this product and this company.

If you're looking for a good way to reduce drafts into and heat outflows from your house without paying hundreds for a damper or other contraption, this can be a little messy to install but works pretty well. They also have good customer service. After installing ours initially in the spring of 2010, when the weather turned cold and it deflated a bit and I tried to inflate it some more, somehow where the balloon connects to the black pole ripped. I notified them, and because it's still within a year and covered by warranty, they got back to me quickly and offered to send a new one right away.

Seymour Mfg. 30-525 Color Flame Crystals Review

Customer Ratings:

With a major Cub Scout campfire coming up, I started researching how to produce colored flame. The standard searches came up with a lot of references to the subject, and in no time I had a list of the chemicals I'd need to produce the various colors. Then I started searching for the chemicals I'd need. Most were available for purchase, but were not cheap. There was really no hassle to ordering a kilogram or more of some of these chemicals, but I was amazed--and put off--by what I thought were exorbitat prices.

Then I typed "color flame" into Amazon.com and up came this stuff. Not having any experience with colored flame before, I purchased this product, along with Rainbow Flame Crystals for the Cub Scout campfire. Some modest prior experimentation in the charcoal grill at home showed that the stuff works just as advertised.

At the campfire this product produced some very nice blue, green and every so often purple flame, which both the kids and the adults found very enjoyable (hint: don't tell them that you're using this stuff, especially the kids). The effects lingered for some time, about five minutes per heaping tablespoon of product. I found that a larger amount--maybe a half cup--was the best way to apply the product to a large fire.

Also, it's better to sprinkle the product throughout the fire, rather than pour it in so it piles in a single location. Dispersing the crystals troughout the fire will create an instant and thorough color flame effect, while pouring will get you an instant effect in a single location, with a pile of crystals that becomes somewhat self-insulating. Once a log falls or you stir the coals, and that pile of crystals is disturbed you will get another burst of color, which actually is a pretty cool effect, giving you shots of color hours after you've applied the crystals.

Once that big campfire was going, I simply tossed an entire package or two directly into the fire. Using the pour or sprinkle settings on top of the package (just like your home spice containers) isn't practical for a large fire, and as described above, the effect can be quite good.

The best thing about this product is its price. Given what I'd discovered about ordering colored flame-producing chemicals, the price for this item, already prepared and ready to go, is simply outstanding. In fact, the low price had me buying more than one.

Bottom line: This is a simple product which delivers exactly as promised. I've got more scout camping and campfires coming up this summer, and this product will figure prominently in those activities.

I am generous with the shakes when placing this in a campfire. I don't use the strainer part, I use the pouring spout (heh). You might find that you can go through an entire container in just a weekend's camping. This product adds colorful greens and blues to the natural reds and golds of your campfire. Can add fun emphasis to a story being told around the fire.

These crystals are awesome. A few years ago a crafty friend showed me how to use them for camping. Collect some pinecones and pour on or paint the pinecones with wood glue. Painting is neater. Then pour the crystals over the glue painted pinecones. Set them on a plate to dry. Package them up for gift giving in clear plastic bags. These can be used in a fireplace or at a campfire. The crystals burn pretty colors and everyone will enjoy that!

Very simple effect of colored flames with the crystals in the can.

I purchased this fire pot trio for use in an outdoor fireplace. The fireplace is located inside a screened porch. This works well for safety issues. Flames are visable, but not large enough to get out of control. There's no messy ash to clean after, just more time for enjoyment. I was so pleased, I purchased a second trio to fill the entire firebox. Realistic cracking sounds and visually appealing.

Worked okay, but not really heavy duty enough for an open fire. The grommets on handle melted off during the first use, but were easily replaced with machine screws and nuts. The wooden handle on top tends to catch on fire and the metal clasp on front comes off a little too easily. With that said, though, we have had a lot of fun roasting chestnuts for our neighbors and friends and we plan to make it a neighborhood tradition for Christmas.

Quite simply, it does the job but it is a bit flimsy. A minor thing was the knob was not pre-drilled properly so the knob didn't screw on all the way. Also, the handle could stand to be a bit longer. It got us thru the night but if you are a diehard roaster, invest in a heavy-duty one.

Honest reviews on Rome Popcorn Popper

We used it three times and had to throw it out. The first time the enamel flaked off of the outside, which didn't look pretty but didn't seem to be a real problem. We gently wiped the inside of the roaster to clean rather than scrub to preserve the enamel and it seemed to be working, but by the third time I used it we were finding flakes of enamel on the popcorn.

We had to buy this to keep our retard dog from wanting to jump into the fire place and commit suicide. It worked like a charm. It is a very simple and beautiful design.

At first I thought it silly of Mrs. Spudman to buy me another firewood carrier since I already had one. However, I have to admit that this one is definitely better than my replaced log carrier. I like this one because the closed ends form a pocket that contains those wood chips, bark, and bits of wood dust that used to fall on the floor when I loaded wood on the indoor rack.

This carrier lasted well over the last winter and served me well too. The strong handles are comfortable to grip and the carrier itself is well balanced so that when properly loaded wood doesn't fall out as I'm carrying a load from the woodpile to the fireplace.

Fortunately, my husband, the strong one, is the one who loads up the wood. But the good thing about this carrier is that it has sewn side panels so that if you aren't filling it up, nothing with slip out or "drip" detritus in your path to the fireplace. And if you want to fill it up, it's more than hefty and roomy. I can't imagine a better carrier for the price. Actually, I was surprised at the economical price.

Buy TechCraft CRE48 48-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Credenza - Walnut

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $299.99
Sale Price: $284.96

In researching my purchase of an inexpensive TV console, the most common complaints I read of were of items damaged in transit and of materials that were incorrectly made in the factory (pre-drilled holes not lining up correctly, missing screws, etc).

I am happy to say that my Techcraft CRE48B console had neither of these problems. It was delivered in a box that was sturdy, with exterior corner protection, and everything inside it was very well packed and protected by Styrofoam and sheets of plastic.

The exterior pieces are quite heavy and have a beautiful glossy smooth black finish which is flawless. The interior pieces are made of a lighter but sturdy particle board painted a mat black. The glass is tempered and clear and was fit perfectly in the doors. The back cover is very sturdy compressed cardboard with large openings for all the cords to fit though, and attaches with screws, not nails. I should note there is a fifth leg which projects from the middle near the back of the unit which is not visible in the product image.

It took me about 2 hours to put it together by myself, working very carefully. There were no missing pieces (and no extra pieces). The instructions are mostly images only, but all the larger pieces are labeled with stickers and the smaller pieces are represented with 1:1 scale drawings. I had no difficulty understanding the directions. Assembly requires a Phillips screwdriver (smaller and larger heads). Everything fit together just right and when complete it feels very solid.

Overall I am very pleased with this item, I consider it to be a very good value. The only issue I have with it is that even after adjustment, one door is just a tiny bit off level, but that's a flaw I'm willing to accept in an item in this price range.

They do a great job mixing quality wood that's visible and low quality wood (to keep costs down) in all parts that aren't visible.

This stands looks really nice but it isn't very practical. The mesh center cabinet meant for your center speaker is far too small to fit the majority of center channel speakers. The side cabinets aren't wide enough to fit the larger receivers.

This is still a quality sturdy stand but make sure if you need it to hold your components that it will fit them properly.

Honest reviews on TechCraft CRE48 48-Inch Wide Flat Panel TV Credenza - Walnut

Just received this stand and put it together this week. I've been on the lookout for a great stand at a great price for a few months now and finally settled on this one after exhaustive researching. The price dropped to $265 + Free shipping and I just couldn't pass that up!

First things first, this baby weights A LOT! I still can't believe they shipped it for free. I was a little intimidated after opening the box and seeing all the parts. But after taking a deep breath, laying everything out nicely and browsing the instructions briefly it wasn't bad at all and everything made sense. I almost had a heart attack when I thought one of the support feet were missing but a quick check back into the box with tons of wrapping and foam to keep the parts safe and I found it. I didn't time myself but I'm thinking maybe a good 60 to 90 minutes putting this one together is about right. I love the color and finish on this. While it is black it almost has a dark brown feel about the color which is perfect for my setup. While some have made mention of the center area which isn't big enough for a normal/standard center channel it wasn't a problem for me. Even though mine would easily fit as I have the Sony HTIS-100 I chose to set it on top anyways. The two storage areas on either side aren't huge but they have adjustable shelves and are the right size for standard components and with the windows you shouldn't have any problems with the remotes. I'm at a point now where I don't feel the need to display all my components and would rather focus on the TV itself and this stand is perfect for that. It also sits at just the right height to accentuate viewing of my 52" Sony XBR9 whereas my last stand sat rather low. This one is perfect.

Overall I'm very impressed with this item. Great quality construction, fairly easy to put together, great price and incredibly good looks you really can't go wrong. I also liked that with the doors you have the capability to mount them on either side for opening depending on your setup. A real nice touch for flexibility. Overall I'm VERY happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone with a 42 to 55" TV. Thanks!

I bought the Techcraft Cre48B AV stand to sit under my new wall-mounted Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV to hold my home theater equipment and I will say it looks absolutely great doing that. I did have the TV on the stand for a few days as I waited for my TV mounting bracket to arrive from Amazon and it seemed to hold the additional weight without any problem. Delivery was quick for such a big item, five days from ordering to delivery. I held my breath taking all of the pieces out of the box since I have heard nightmare stories about shipping casualties with furniture items. Once I removed the glass door panels and they were intact, I breathed a sigh of relief and started the task of assembling the stand. It is a little intimidating at first, like any furniture of this nature. But once you get a feel for it, it moves right along. The directions call for a Phillips head screwdriver and hammer, but I didn't find a need for the hammer at all. The stand uses a series of cam locks and posts to tighten the panels together. This is where I have to deduct a star from an otherwise good product. The posts screw into predrilled pilot holes. No problem until I reach one particular pilot hole which is drilled far to large to allow the post to be screwed in. You can't just move the post and screw it in elsewhere, because the corresponding cam requires it to be lined up perfectly. This particular cam/post was vitally important since it held the side panel in place. So essentially I was in a bind due to poor craftmanship. If it had been a store purchase, I would have returned it for a replacement. but being mail order and being a very heavy item to boot, I decided to improvise and glued the post in with epoxy and waited until the next day to complete the stand. The epoxy worked well and assembly went smoothly after that. Overall, not counting the misdrilled hole fiasco, it took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to complete. My one other complaint is that they could have included one or two extra cams since they are easy to strip, so be careful with them. Overall, I would buy the product again, but Techcraft may want to assess their quality control when issues like mine are happening.

Have an old almost all wood interior house. We were struggling with an over sized plant or two that are hung and wanted to move it to another window too. So went in search for a longer bracket and this does the trick. However we hang the plants outside in summer and so would be nice to be able to swing the bracket to the side or even like we do other brackets we have swing them to one side or the other as slight adjustments to where you want it to hang in front of or to the side of the window.

However it is strong enough to hold the planters and it clears the window well which was needed too. And not as expensive as some similar products. We bought two of these and also the similar 12 inch bracket that has a curved down end instead of the curve up. And two deck hanging hooks in wrought iron too. And one 12 inch that curves up and out that does swivel to the side but will use these others mostly outdoors in the summer. If the swivel bracket had come in a longer version that would have been our choice. For the money this 15 inch bracket is right on however and glad we got it.

They would also do well for a hanging plant, lamp, or small mobile, I think.

I bought this bracket for the purpose of holding up a bird feeder. It is of a simple & sturdy metal construction and I foresee getting eons of use out of this product. Since I was only asked to rate the ITEM, I gave it an objective and unbiased five stars. The only caveat was the atrocious shipping period. It not only arrived a day late, but it sat in a delivery facility two towns away over the weekend and THREE additional BUSINESS days before it went out for delivery the following day. I received plenty of cross-country shipments (NY to CA) from different companies before, but I can't recall the last time anything took two whole weeks to deliver. I am pleased enough with the product that I plan to buy another just not from this seller.
