Review on Winsome Trading, Inc. Carson Brown Valet Stand by Ardy Espinoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best investment ever

I bought this valet because it takes me a long time to get ready in the morning and I thought it would be a good idea to me to dress up the night before. I had a servant that was replaced by this one and it had neither a shelf nor a mirror. Those two additions, not to mention the bottom shoe rack, are invaluable to me. I can leave my wallet, watch, and keys with the valet, and it even has a cutout in the shelf to put loose change without worrying about it getting in the way or falling off the valet if you need to move it. . I keep it in a central place next to my closet and if I need to move it I can move it and everything on it is safe and has never been dropped. It has proved so useful that my wife and I have to compete for it and buy another one. As for usage, I have a few suggestions. If you are wearing a suit (or a jacket over a shirt), you should hang the jacket first, then the shirt. By doing it this way, you can put on a shirt and tie using a mirror and prevent the jacket from wrinkling after putting it aside to get to the shirt. If you're wearing a tank top, drape it over your pants. You can spread it out or just fold it in half and then place it on the crossbar. If you want to redo the suit (hopefully change the shirt) then the way you put it back on the valet is the opposite of how you take things off. I have no cons in this valet because I made some additions. 1. I added two belt and tie hooks and 2. I attached a cable to it so I can turn it into a charging station. The hooks I used were none other than the ones you can find at the grocery store that have permanent fastening tape on the back. I managed to get some that were a similar color to the valet and didn't look out of place. As for the cord, I used staples (on the back) that I bought at a hardware store to hold the cord in place and have a place to attach it at the top. Once again I went to the flowers. I toyed with the idea of using a jigsaw to cut a hole in the shelf to permanently install a cable flush with the top, or to sink a USB charger flush with the top of the shelf. Maybe I'll do it with the second one I buy and gift my wife the one I'm using right now. When assembling, you must be VERY careful to use the correct parts. They all look the same, but some of them have screw holes in certain places and you won't be able to assemble them if you find that you have already used this item elsewhere when assembling. Don't think that ignoring the instructions is easy enough. At the very least, you should read them so you can separate the pieces I'm talking about to save the time it takes to take apart the minion to free the piece you need, only to put it back together.

Pros
  • Includes a round tilting mirror and accessory stand
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
