Rubbermaid Organizer Desk, 12-Compartment Mail Organizer with Removable Shelves 21″w x 11-3/4″d x 16″h, Box of 1, Black (1738583)

Excellent quality. Fits my needs.

Product sever it’s purpose. The black laminate peels up on some of the corners but over all good quality.

I had high hopes for this shelf. When it came, I was disappointed. First of all, for the price I thought it would have been better quality. I could have gotten two full 6 foot tall book shelves made of the same materials for the same price. Assembly was difficult, the metal rods did not properly fit into the holes. I felt like the particle board was going to crack trying ot get the screws tight enough to close the gap between the board and the rod. The 10 black ‘shelves’ (read: Thin, cardboard) are warped slightly so that they don’t sit flat in the unit. They also slide around, making it difficult to put paper on and take it back off the shelf.

All in all, for the price I paid, I expected more. For 45$, I am out money for a storage unit that won’t even work for what I wanted it for.

I needed an organizer that didnt look cheapy n plastic but that also accommodated for ever-changing amounts of paperwork and categories. This thing has been absolutely useful for my office! I can change the labels and adjust shelves when there’s an overflow in one box and change it back when its not. As you can see, I have stacks of paperwork at any given time.

Now that the nightmare of putting this together has faded I gave it 3 stars instead of the 2 I was telling myself I was going to give it. I mean really the WORST assembly ever. I mean first of all, I should not have even needed to LOOK at the instructions for something this simple, right? I mean, just look at the parts and the picture of the finished product and it should all come together in your head, shouldn’t it? Well, to me in a well thought out product, it should. But this would not be a good example of one of those. None of the parts were labelled and when trying to put it together, the order and instructions were critical. You had to partially tighten this while you held these pieces together and then fed these rods threw and tried to line these pieces up also. You needed more than two hands ideally and I didn’t have them. However, I did finally get it all put together and now it is solid and quite useful and while I would not call it a thing of beauty, it surely serves its purpose and I like how much it will hold and get off the surface of my desk without risk of buckling or bending.

Good size and sturdy enough for papers. Not five stars because the corners looked like they’ll already start peeling off, and it’s kind of hard to protect those corners and edges when putting in papers on a daily basis. One of the corners looked slightly cracked (not enough to tell from far a way or to affect function). It’s made of cheap particle wood and you definitely need small binder clips on the back to hold the shelves from sliding. They should have thought of this problem when manufacturing. Does the job and looks fine but if you want something fancier get something else. It actually looks cute and will work for what I need it in my classroom. For the price and number of slots it’s a good deal. I was originally looking at a 9-slot one in a teacher catalog for $70, so I looked elsewhere and found this! This was a much better deal since teacher companies try to suck you dry!!!
