I just received this desk organizer, I'm very impressed
Most of the product is assembled except for the plastic tabs to secure everything together. There is rubber bottoms to ensure no slippage.This organizer will be used to store my school books and whatever supplies necessary
Seems sturdy enough to hold my belongings, BUT the dividers to keep my books upright may take some wear after more usage...
Rating a 4 because I'm going to see how well it lasts my first week of school
does include instructions and extra plastic pieces and 1 rubber leg
I was just looking for something to reduce the pile of rubble on my desk to something less inclined to slide off it, but this has so much more room to it than you'd think. The sliding drawer holds a lot including colored markers in one drawer, and all the odd sized stuff like cell phone repair tools, extra cases, batteries, etc, and I haven't even put anything in the third drawer yet. This took a large unruly pile and reduced it to a neat accessible bunch of stuff-- amazing. Can't believe how much it holds-- the pile before was huge and this makes it all look like nothing.
Wow! This was so easy to put together with their unique pins that snap in place. Sturdy as well. I'm using mine to hold paper plates of different sizes on top and plastic ware in the drawer below. It's perfect. I will seek this brand out when I'm in the market for something like this again, because of the quality and ease of assembly. Wonderful.
The plastic anchors that hold the upright files to the base are missing. The device cannot be used without the anchors.
I called the 1-800 number on the box. Spoke with a very friendly and helpful representative. Submitted simple proof of the order. Within 4 days I received the parts in the mail. Exvellent customer service. I will not hesitate to order again. The device is sturdy and attractive. I am pleased.
I spent a lot of time looking at desk organizers. I am a teacher and have a U-shaped table that serves as my desk at school. Thus there isn't any storage on it and having a ton of papers all over the surface sort of defeats the purpose of being able to use that table to work with small groups of students. So I have been in the market for some type of organizer and finally settled on this one.
It was super easy to put together. The instructions were clear and the seller even sent me an email with extra instructions to make sure I put the fasteners on correctly so that the top part would be secure. I think it took me 15 minutes total to put it together (and only that long because I was impeded by not wanting to break a nail haha).
I like this organizer so much I decided to use it at home! The pictures show it sitting on the corner of my desk at home. The bottom spaces have plenty of room for paperclips, post-its, staples and a stapler and an assortment of writing utensils (as I mentioned I'm a teacher so there is never a shortage of writing materials in my vicinity). The small shelf is nice for storing scissors and random papers or notepads. The top unit is awesome. It's housing card stock for my paper crafting purposes, two cutting mats and some random files. As you can see there is still plenty of room on it.
I love this organizer. Even though I originally intended it for school use, I like it enough to want to use it at home. I haven't decided if I'm going to get a second one to actually use at school or not. It's a great price, easy to put together and it holds a lot. A+ in my book!

Description
SimpleHouseware Mesh Desk Organizer with Drawer, Double Tray and 5 Upright Sections, Black
The product itself is awesome and, once assembled, is really nice and useful. However, the assembly was apparently designed by someone who never actually tried it. The bolts are tiny and smooth, meaning they slip out from under your fingers when you try to apply pressure. There's literally NO GRIP to them, and I'd like to look the designer in the eyes and get the measure of the man (or woman) who thought this would work. Moreover, because of the way the item is set up, there's only an inch and a half of space to slip your hands in to press the nut and bolt together, which makes it even more frustrating. They should have used a threaded screw and bolt. It would have been easier to turn a screwdriver or even an Allen wrench than to push a tiny, slippery smooth bolt into a tiny, ultra-tight, nut...
I bought this for my classroom, specifically because it has 5 file slots -- one for each day of the week. So much easier to stay organized when I can file my lesson plans, student copies, and other papers for each day. The unit was very easy to put together and has held up well. I like the sliding drawer to hold various sizes of sticky notes and writing utensils. I use the middle shelf for the originals to be copied and to be filed so that I have quick access should a child need an additional copy. I do not let my 3rd graders near this, as they tend to be overzealous and I feel they might bend the file dividers. This is used only by adult staff.
This product has been great for helping me get organized at home. Instead of having stacks of things piling up, I have been able to use this to give things a place to go. The vertical folder holders on top of the rack are wide and sturdy enough to hold many files. I can even put laptops out of the way, as you can see from my photos. The drawer on the bottom has three sections, allowing me to store all those loose items that clutter up the desk. The middle section of the drawer is wider than the side sections. In the middle section, I have removable hard drives and associated cables. The side sections are wide just enough to accommodate business cards horizontally. These drawers are also plenty deep enough, about 8 3/4 inches, for pens and markers. The horizontal shelf shelf above the drawer is wide enough to hold folders flat, and tall enough to put a couple of books that I never have time to read. I really like the black mesh design, too. I would definitely buy this again and just might do that to have one at my desk at the office. This is a quality piece, and assembly took mere minutes.
I was upset when I first assembled the product because the top sections were flimsy and kept falling over. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I called customer service and left a message. They called me back within 2 hours and informed me that I was putting the pieces together wrong. Initially I put the white piece in the whole, then the divider on top, then the black piece. THIS WAS WRONG.
You are supposed to put the divider on the base first and line it up with the hole. Next you put the white piece, then the black piece pops in and locks it in. I feel like those people below that gave it poor reviews probably just had the issue that I had. I am happy that I was able to get assistance. I hope my post helps future buyers. Great product :-)
I ordered this for my husband for him to use to keep up with bills to pay/bills paid, other documents, various pens, and odds and ends. It meets those goals extremely well. The drawer would be (for me) better if the drawer compartments were adjustable, but, otherwise, I'm very pleased with the organizer. I had NO trouble putting it together. The anchor pins and anchors are tiny, so assembly on a pale background would be wise because they're easily dropped (and difficult to find). That said, there are several extras, just in case. Great idea there. Rubber brackets fit on the bottom corners to protect surfaces and keep the unit from sliding. All in all, I don't see how anyone could go wrong by choosing this item.
