Thoughts on HSN's TS Origami bookshelf?

Sue98 — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 02:57:14 GMT

The Origami products seem to get good reviews. Is anyone ordering the TS? Does anyone own any of the Origami products? Thanks!

I'm intrigued by all the Origami products, but I haven't taken the big step of ordering any. I'd like to hear feedback, too.

About a year ago I bought two mini ones of this brand. I have a little area next to my laundry center, where both fit in perfectly, and I use them for storage of pantry items. I love the mini ones. Very well made. Not sure of these bookshelf ones. While I think they are well made, not sure I would like the look of metal for a bookshelf. I'd see them more as storage looking. But that my option. Others may feel different.

I have a lot of Origami products.They can't be beat. There is almost no assembly. However, the top shelf folds over. I have the 4 shelf and had to tilt it to get the top shelf folded over. Love their kitchen cart. I didn't see the TS on HSN, but will look.

Too industrial looking, given that it's steel...like the shelf units. IMO.

I just looked...oh wow, six shelves. Unless you have a high ceiling, you would definitely have to tilt the bookshelf to flip the top shelf

I have several Origami shelves in two different sizes and couldn't be happier. Without installing the wheels it took about 15 seconds to set up the shelves. I've never put them to the full weight test but I have two 5 gallon bottles of water on one shelf and it is a flat and even as it would be if empty.

I ordered four origami shelving units last year to reorganize our storage shed. LOVE them. I was able to unpack them and set them up by myself. I tried really hard to think of where else I could use some others (to no avail) because I love them so much. Great product !

I just bought bronze to go by my kitchen. I have a 8" deep area adjacent to my kitchen that I keep a 18" deep microwave cart. It sticks out terribly and really doesn't provide much storage. While this is 11" deep and will still stick out, it won't stick out much and it provides a lot more storage! The bronze blends well with my oak kitchen cabinets too. I also had a $20 giftcard, so it was an extra value ts for me!

These are way beyond easy to assemble. If you don't want the wheels/levelers on you just unfold, flip the top over the frame, lock down the clips and you are done. Only takes seconds. If you do want the wheels/levelers it might take 5 minutes.

I have four of the shorter ones....I got them before they came in colors...I love them...so easy to put together or take down....wish I had a place for the TS in my hall closet...I do have one of the shorter ones in there but could use the taller one....

I got the white for my kitchen. I've run out of room for small appliances and canisters.

love the origami brand and have bought several storage items via hsn.....would definitely purchase again. if you are trying to get organized and want to have some easy to use storage, then these are a great deal.

I love my origami shelves. I have 4 of the large ones in my garage and I have 2 of the short ones in my house. One I keep in my utility area that gives me storage space that is easily moved to allow me to get in to add salt to my softener when necessary. The other short one I have in my guest room where my grandkids sleep over. I got the magnetic shelf liners for it and set it up as an entertainment area with a tv, dvd player and nintendo. They're sturdy, quick and easy set-up and nothing to balance and fuss with.

The TSV isn't something I could use, but I can highly recommend the brand and if the style works for you, it most certainly would be money well spent.

I would love one of the original units for my pantry- it had been a hall closet (with non standard dimensions) that was converted. The original unit is the perfect depth but it's an inch or two too wide. I looked on the origami website to see if they made a unit slightly narrower - but they haven't yet. I keep thinking how easy it would be to redo the shelving in there with a origami unit!!

I ordered the white one yesterday, as well as the magnetic shelf liners. My guest bedroom (which is rarely, if ever used), is becoming the "overflow" room for my crafting supplies. All the furniture in the room is white. I have a couple of other Origami products and am quite pleased with them. The set-up is so easy. And they are so well made.

How much was the TSV? Unfortunately I just paid attention to this thread now. I'm curious as to how much I could've saved if I had tuned in. THANKS!

Deb,

If I remember correctly it was $89 with free shipping. There was Flex pay but I don't remember how many.

That's correct. It's now $109.95 with 3 flex pays. But still with free shipping.
