1/2" x 12" Sandblast Pipe, 10 Pack

I bought a bunch of these to help make hangers for a cable curtain rod. They are well made. The threads always fit perfectly into which ever piece I needed them to. If you have to put a wrench on them use a protected jaw or cover them in tape first as the coating will scratch. I’m going to use this same review for a couple of other parts bought from the same manufacturer for the same project.

I wanted so much to have an industrial looking shelf so I bought the parts separately to build one because I didn't see anything that would fit my needs in a set. The problem with buying everything separately is not all colors are the same. Some items they say are black look more blackish or gray, some are shiny, and some are dull. It was impossible for me to get all the parts I needed to build the shelving unit I wanted without seeing the parts in person. I sent this back.

You get what you pay for. Quality control isn't perfect, with some ends threaded more/less than others and lengths slightly off. With enough redundancies (e.g., the countertop sorry I used them for), it works, but I'd be weary of relying on a handful if precision is a must, or at least line them up and try to match odd lengthed ones before assembling so you can adjust accordingly.Also, like other reviewers have said, your hands with have the same finish as the pipes for a few days.

Most pieces fit together like they should with the exception of a few but I wish it didn't have "made in china" stamped on the caps.

Very nice

This was a very useful 1/2 pipe for mounting my shelves in my home office. They pair great with the 1/2 flanges and elbows. Add your stained wood shelves and you are Good To Go! Perfect for my Home Office/man cave as COVID has given me plenary of times to stare at my walls and plan!Will continue to use these as I expand my shelves into my garage.

I bought these for a custom shelf for my sewing room. I chose these because I could customize the height and depth of the shelves to fit my mini bolts of fabric. I did 10” pipes from the wall with 12” pipes vertically (except top piece is 10” verticals). I am so pleased with how it turned out.Now, I will say they came oily to prevent rusting and it easily rubbed off and made everything it touched filthy. So I soaked and scrubbed them down with dish soap, let dry, wire brushed the rust off and then sealed with a couple coats of clear rustoleum. A little extra work, but now it won’t stain my fabric. Finish is great. Would buy again.

I want to rate these higher, as the finish is great and the low threads are perfect for pipe furniture, but they are all slightly different sizes. It meant I had to pick the 4 which were closest to each other for the top and the 4 which were nest closest for the top, and unscrew some to avoid a wobbly shelf. It works, and the pipes themselves are great, but they could use a bit more quality control to ensure consistent sizing.That being said, I couldn't find any other pipe with this finish and thread count, so they still win. Would recommend overall, just know they will not be precise.

The sandblast finish on these looks great but the pipes unfortunately need cleaning before use (they didn't come grease free as advertised). Also, small imperfections in the thread of the pipes means that when screwed into flanges (of the same brand) as far as they will go, the difference in lengths between the longest and shortest was about 7mm. This isnt a show stopper for shelving use etc as you can dial them all out to the longest piece but needs to be factored in to measurements. E.g. 40cm pipes with a flange on each end measure between 40.8 - 41.5 cm.

This is a positive review for the Brooklyn pipes. They are well designed and built but please be aware they do come with an oily layer so please be aware. This is to prevent the pipes from rusting during storage.

Pipe and fittings look good, fit well together and not too heavy as they are furniture grade only, not suitable for gas or water.

Used them to make a shoe rack . Pleased with them.
