Review on Furinno 99811EX BK Turn N Tube Espresso by Shelley Nims

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Large display shelf

Made of compressed wood? Yes. Are the frames made of plastic? Yes. However, the pressed wood has a nice finish and the bars look solid. The display does not look cheap after the optimization. I've seen other more expensive work that looks very cheap when finished. With a corner post display, you don't have this problem. It's also easy to set up. From opening the box to setting it up in my room to assemble it took me 18 minutes. How can I be so sure? In the meantime I made pizza. The oven timer went off as I was tightening the last rod. No more frustration about assembling part A into part B before finding part C, only to find part B isn't enough. Would I trust placing a family heirloom on it? No, I will not. Yes, I love the corner display, but I don't think it would be safe to place heavy items on the shelves. As you can see in the photo I'm using mine to show some parts of the Green Lantern. None of the parts weigh too much. I would also pay attention to where you place the display shelf. I have other Furinno products that stick to hard surfaces with no problem. On carpet, however, these pieces wobble a bit. It's not enough to tip something over, but some people don't like that. Again, be careful what you put on the shelves. In general, a corner display case is a good purchase. It is inexpensive and easy to assemble. I'll get another one if the price is right.
