"The scaffold is a little wobbly when the platform is set above 5 feet, but not enough to cause a problem. I was able to assemble the scaffold by myself by standing the pieces on their sides on the floor and locking them together with the included spring bolts."
"I ordered it on a Monday and it was delivered to my door on Thursday. Easy to break down and move to other parts of the home. I was wrong, the paltform does not sag at all under my weight (195 lbs.). If the platform were at max height I could see where it may feel unstable. There was a minor problem where one leg tube was slightly crushed so the wheel would not insert. If you can't make this small of a repair, you have no business on a scaffold."
"I figured out to get the platform to the highest point was to turn it upside down, install the platform upside down and then flipped it over."
"This scaffolding is designed to be an easy to transport, easy to assemble unit for basic interior repairs or paint jobs. I thought that scaffolding could be a good idea, and a stack-able scaffolding would enable me to reach the ceiling easily. Just to be on the safe side, I started by ordering one scaffolding and a set of guard rails, with the intention to buy the second scaffolding later, after I paint the 12 ft ceiling. I hated standing on a wobbly scaffolding at 5-6 feet level, and I totally did not want to experience the same or more wobbliness when I am at 12 feet. On the positive side, wheels are large and sturdy; the scaffolding is easy to roll around when wheel locks are disengaged. In the end, this scaffolding helped me to do my paint job, but there was not a moment when I enjoyed or simply liked working on it. In contrast, if one needs a low platform (e.g., 2-3 feet) to work on relatively low (i.e., standard) ceiling (e.g., install drywall), at low height it is way less wobbly and can be used with confidence and without guardrails."

"These outriggers are an absolute necessity if you are going to go 2 scaffold levels high or will be using on less than level ground."
"I was concerned about the stability of the staging with two tiers but this quelled those fears and we also bought the railing system."
"--a great price, quick delivery, and easy installation."
"These fit the scaffold great and make it more secure."
"I bought them just to feel safer ."
"Finally used them and they worked perfectly."
"Well worth the cost when stacking two scaffolds."

"At the same time if the measurement was wrong, you will not be able to delete it from the ongoing list of measurements - although if you keep in mind that the saving of ongoing measurements is an aid, it should not be of concern - to me it is not."
"Works fine, lightweight, accurate, Seems plenty rugged enough for home use."
"Have been testing this thing for accuracy , at least for up to 50m/160' it's good but according to instruction manual over time it'll become less accurate. (PITA). as i expect for a new item it should work correctly for the first 12 months, if it does not i will reduce the stars to match performance."
"If you want to measure an object where you have easy access to both ends, then the conventional tape measure or ruler works fine."
"This is so much faster than my old manual way of measuring, I don’t know how it works but I am just glad it works and saves me time."
"We are going to move and need measurements of walls, windows, areas where we can put furniture, etc."
"I liked using this, very easy to figure out the basics."

"I purchased two of these garage door remotes, because we moved into a new house at the end of May and only got one remote."
"I wasted an extra $5 on a clip I really didn't need."
"Liftmaster 371LM Garage Door Opener Remote Control works as described/ advertised."
"I pushed the purple learn button on the garage door opener and the replacement remote has worked perfect since then, simple, easy."
"Bought 2 and both work great with my Craftsman opener."
"This product made it sound like the color of your learn/smart button is enough to go on when buying a garage door remote."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Please see the update at the bottom of the review... I was pleased with how quickly the unit showed up (3 days) and upon unboxing and giving it a try I was very pleased overall w/ weight, setup and sturdiness. On the third use after folding the unit, grabbing the grey swivel handle and hefting back to the garage the handle broke (both swivel point) sending the, thankfully, not too heavy table crashing down on my croc-laden foot. I do think that having the adjustable leg model Keter 217679 Adjustable Leg Folding Work Table would be nicer as the table is a bit short for my liking, but that would increase setup time and while i like the clamps on this better I didn't like the fact that there is no storage for clamps. UPDATE: As expected and understandable I would need to send back which IMO is too much hassle for the issue."
"I have a Ryobi 15" compound miter saw that I use on the regular but I don't like to use it in the garage because it gets sawdust EVERYWHERE. I bought this table so that when I want to work on a project I can set my saw up on the back yard patio or in the driveway, work for a couple hours and then put my saw back on the work bench in the garage, fold this table up and store it out of the way until I need it again. It's SO SMALL when it's folded up which makes is super convenient for storing just about anywhere or transporting with ease (which is great because I don't have a pickup truck)! I also lent this to a friend to use it to build grow boxes in his backyard and he loved it!! While I imagine it would be ideal for on site remodelers or construction professionals, I am not one so I won't speak for them, but I can tell you it's PERFECT for the DIYer or hobbyist like myself who needs a work bench but doesn't have a dedicated work shop or a lot of time or money to spend on such things."
"The product arrived with bar clamps and NOT the holding and toggle clamps shown in the Amazon page pictures."
"Clamping with the slidable bar clamps is much faster than the turning of handles on the Workmate and the work is very stable... If you have something short to work on, the clamps are not moveable and you run into the issue of being able to use only one clamp or not being able to hang your wood piece over the side for cutting and drilling."
"Had this for about a month, used it three times and one of the legs snapped off!"

"First, standing barefoot on this is tantamount to torture. I'm not sure how they did it, but they managed to design these to be incredibly uncomfortable to bare feet. Im a tall strong guy, but even I can strain a bit when moving it around."
"It worries me that my husband will be on it and it will fall over on him, so I feel like I have to be standing there to hold it in place."
"Have several things around the house from getting in to the attic to getting into the huge tree in our front yard and this ladder checks every box I needed."
"I'm using the ladder a lot for home renovation projects that I've been doing in my new-to-me house."
"I haven't had to use it for much height so far but coming from a non ladder climbing person, I'd say that I feel safe when climbing on this one."
"We borrowed one of these to use for our stage at church which, has a 25ft celing."
"This means that if you have to fold the ladder to move it to the next location, or to manuever it through stud framing, you either have to collapse the legs or tip the ladder (awkward at best). It's not a problem if you change a light bulb once in a while or paint for a weekend every few years.... but if you are using your ladder frequently, you will use find yourself using your "old-style" ladder, as it is much more convenient. The surface of the rung that you stand on is much smaller compared to a normal ladder, which you will feel if you spend significant time on the ladder."

"In reality, its more like 17.6875" tall when standing completely straight from desk to very top. The lamp can easily hover over low standing 23" screens (my 23" screen is just under 16.5" in height and will work with anything right up to 17" tall."
"Finally, the nightlight option is easy to activate, is its own button, and doesn't require the lamp to be opened."
"This lamp is beautiful, minimalist, and very functional. I seriously love this lamp it has so many functions."
"You’ve truly found the hoqqly grail of desk lamps. I could go on but there’s many other reviews and even videos showing the lamps technical aspects."
"I typically leave use it on low setting, warm at night when, say, watching a movie in bed, and use my "favorite" setting (brightest, white light) when reading."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I began to purchase LED light bulbs as a start, new energy efficient appliances, and then September 2015 the Nest 3rd Generation was released which caught my attention. I asked my father in-law who had the Nest 2nd Generation for information and he had nothing negative to say about it so I was sold. Test your wires one more time prior to uninstalling to make sure no power is running (avoid being shocked or damaging anything). If you have children you can lock it so that a child touching it can not change or disrupt your temperature or any of your settings. Nest will remind you when you should change your air filters on your furnace because it can base it upon how many times it turns on and off. Significant drop in energy consumption can be seen on my gas bill after month 1."
"The nest was not calling for heat and temperature was dropping fast. I called the nest techs which were polite and helpful. They said my nest was wired for a heat pump which I do not have. The nest was properly wired, but when wiring was check via the wi if it said it was erroneously wired for a heat pump."
"** EDIT: I am happy to report that the Nest Thermostat now has a number of options for the Farsight feature, including to display the current room temperature, which I wanted, and to display the weather outside (downloaded from the internet), which is very cool indeed! To charge its batteries, the Nest needs a C (common) wire hooked up; otherwise it tries to charge itself whenever the heating or cooling system is running -- the only time current is passing through it. If I turn the heating system on and set the thermostat to something low, like 60 degrees, so the heat won't ever turn on, the Nest displays "60" rather than the actual temperature in the room. Why should I have to wall-mount a thermometer next to the Nest to replicate its thermometer, just because the Nest programmers won't offer the option to show the current temperature?"
