It's great. I hold some tea bags, hot coca packets, stirring straws, napkins, and cup covers. It's a little uneven and makes grabbing items from one compartment a little difficult, but it's worked out fine. I've gotten compliments on how it looks along with other bamboo Mind Reader items I bought for some Sunday morning coffee at church.
The coffee cups I bought it for do not fit, but my wife liked it so much we kept it and use it to organiza other crap.
Perfect for my coffee station.
Great
Would purchase again nice product

We always get clutter near our coffee maker. Between coffee stirrers, paper towel, and then it happens to be on the counter right near the kitchen door where people come and go and just drop things there, it drives me crazy. I love this organizer. I folded up napkins to put in there, and have the coffee stirrers. And now I told my husband and daughter, if you are dropping something like a note or whatever, please stick it in the caddy, not loose all over the counter. My husband even can stick his cell phone (which is a work phone) in it to grab each morning on his way out the door. No more loose things cluttering up the counter, looking unorganized and messy, I have to say, I was a bit tempted to put it on my desk in the bedroom instead though. I could picture putting stamps, scissors, tape, pens, my checkbook, etc in it. The wood is decent quality. I was thinking it'd be thinner, but it seems like it will hold up quite well. I think any place, counter, desk in your house where little things tend to gather and clutter, this could help keep things in order and look much better.
You can do a lot more than put coffee condiments in this little set of shelves. I could, honestly, see myself eventually buying a bunch of these, because there are so many places where a set of tiny shelves sitting on a big shelf would declutter my life. This one is currently in the cabinet where I keep the spices that won't fit on my spice rack (I loves me my spices!) keeping them organized so that I can find them without taking everything else out of the cabinet first. (In the picture, the cabinet is laying down, but you can stand it up just as easily, which is what I did.) Which is what I had to do before. However, I could see one on my desk organizing some of my writing utensils and functioning as a curio cabinet for a few desk toys I've been given as gifts, and I could see one in my bedroom, organizing the various little things that pile up on surfaces there. And I could probably find places for a couple more in my kitchen.
In terms of construction, I think it's pretty solid. When you first pick it up, it feels awfully light and flimsy, but that's because it's made of solid bamboo. Bamboo is quite light, but it's way stronger than it feels like it should be. And this isn't a particleboard/veneer item, either. It's bamboo all the way down. It looks quite attractive, and should last well.
All in all, I can't recommend this item enough. It fit right into my kitchen, and I don't even drink coffee. :)
If you've got a large kitchen, this coffee and condiment tray will probably prove very helpful for you. It's a very well-made bamboo organizer, that has no give to the separators, so there's no worry about items sliding under edges and getting in the way (if you're OCD like me, you'll see just how valuable that is to note! ;-) ).
For my kitchen space, this organizer proved too much, so I'm instead using it in my office at work on my desk to keep all of those little odds and ends nice and neat, and it's working great for that purpose, as well. Therefore, don't feel that you're stuck relegating this to the kitchen - it'll work just about anywhere you need some medium-sized compartments to keep things sorted and arranged!
This is my second bamboo kitchen organizer product by Mind Reader and I'm hoping that this one will wear and last better than the other one did, as it cracked after a short, few, weeks. I was disappointed as I really liked it initially.
This coffee condiment caddy arrived intact and appears to be well made, for it's cost. I am using it to store teas and dry drink packs in my cabinet rather than on the counter due to the footprint that it has. It's pretty large, but works efficiently thanks to the thinness of the bamboo dividers. I found that the compartments are not all equal sizes, which works well for me as I can store different sized tea boxes and items in the different spaces.
This has helped me to organize my cabinet nicely and it's easier to find and get to what I want when I need it. There are small rubber feet on the bottom which help to keep it in it's place.
So far, so good. I will update if I have more to add as time passes.
We absolutely love this organizer and it is definitely not limited to use as a coffee Condiment organizer. We originally used it for that and, while it worked perfectly for it, we ended up opting for a mesh organizer for coffee accoutrements and are using this for office supplies and to put phones and handheld games in (the lower front openings) while charging. But, truly it is a perfect organizer for just about anything.
Ours is beautifully constructed, solid and without any blemishes, dings or splinters whatsoever. Perhaps the only downside might be that it has a solid bamboo bottom, so depending on what you are placing it on, you might want a nonslip mat under it.
