Furinno Turn-N-Tube Display Rack, 3-Tier Single, Black/Grey

I've gotten similar furniture from Furinno a couple times before, so this is also kind of my review for the whole line -- and, well, the fact that I keep coming back to them says something. This is cheap furniture made out of particleboard and hollow plastic, and nobody's pretending otherwise, but for the price and for what it is, it consistently impresses me.Assembly is toolless and extremely easy, enough so that most of us could probably figure it out without instructions (but instructions are provided, which is for the best as I'm not always that quick). I had these shelves done in five minutes. These sellers aren't cutting corners by passing off tiny furniture with misleading pictures or anything, either, these are full-size, substantial articles that will actually hold your stuff. They even look pretty nice -- way more pleasant to look at than most other kinds of cheap furniture I've used, which tend to be pure utility.Are they sturdy? These shelves seem to be, and the other items I've had for years have given me no problems. In fairness, I've had all of them on a carpet which makes everything a little more wobbly -- not ideal for the little pipe feet on this design -- so it's hard for me to completely gauge their steadiness. For standing up to use, despite those hollow tubes, Furinno's approach is well designed to distribute weight. Speaking as a petite adult, I'd be willing to sit on top of these shelves, but probably not on a regular basis. I'd be willing to put a TV on them, but maybe not an expensive one, or at least I'd discreetly tape the legs to the wall. I want to say I wouldn't put my PC on them, but I've put my PC on much worse before. It'd probably be okay. If I really really needed shelves to specifically store heavy expensive equipment, though, I'd likely look to those pure-utility alternatives instead.If I had to give a downside, I will agree that quality control can be a little iffy. Most of the corners on the boards for these shelves were scuffed or had rough spots where the bits didn't get glued together cleanly, some of the tubes were distinctly more resistant to screwing together, and my previous purchases have had a couple scratches too. You can see from the other reviews here that these types of blemishes are relatively common. Personally, I haven't encountered anything like a major defect, and nothing that really impacts the look or utility of the furniture. (It's probably more noticeable as you get further from natural wood-like colors, since any exposed particleboard will stand out more.) But it's worth keeping in mind that reliability can be a quiet downside to going cheap. If you really need perfection, don't gamble on it.Bottom line: $20 furniture is not $200 furniture, but for $20 furniture this excels.

I have purchased five of this brand of shelving units and will continue to do so as long as I have objects in need of convenient placement. They come carefully packaged and are mostly free from defects. Assembly is quite easy and requires virtually no directions, which is a plus. The shelves are surprisingly sturdy and capable of bearing reasonable loads, and they are quite attractive.

The Furinno Turn‑N‑Tube 3‑Tier is a quick-assemble, budget-friendly shelf that looks good and works well for lighter storage in small spaces. Expect decent sturdiness but don’t rely on it for heavy items—it’s more practical than permanent.

I got this for storing our board games. It fits perfectly in the closet I wanted it for and fits all the games with room to spare. It only took me a few minutes to put together by myself and was super easy to do. It's lightweight, a tiny bit cheap but I don't mind that. It's perfect for what I wanted it for

The Furinno Turn-N-Tube 3-Tier Shelf is a very nice item. The size and height are exactly as described. It is very easy to assemble and the directions were very easy to follow. The shelf unit is sturdy, strong and stable. An excellent item at an excellent price.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect for what I needed.Rated 15lbd seems right.Not heavy duty but its sturdy for light items.Great size and EASY to assemble.The metal bars look nice too.

Now that I have finished assembling the product, I will say that I am satisfied with the end result. The overall look is nice, and the shape is more or less exactly what I was looking for.The assembly process, however... Hoo, boy. Let's just say, it wasn't what I was expecting.As many of the negative reviews have noted, the screws this thing comes with are very odd and not easy to screw in. Well, that's because they aren't actually screws, they are plastic fasteners that must be PUSHED through the pieces in order to assemble them. The instructions do not make this clear, and I'm not sure why Furinno decided to use these as screws would have functioned the same if not better, but they DO work, and I must admit the end result looks pretty nice.HOWEVERThe idea that this thing can be assembled without tools is nonsense. I suppose it's POSSIBLE that somebody out there MIGHT be able to insert every fastener with their bare hands, but I am certainly not that person! Most people like me will want to either use a hammer, or take the drastic step of swapping the parts out for screws. Either way, the way the product is listed is misleading, and I do not blame anyone for being frustrated one bit. Buy only if you really like the look of the product and you're willing to put in a bit of elbow grease to put it together.

Nice looking, easy to put together, solid, stable, reasonably priced. Will get another one.
