Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

  • "Love the silver color and the design."
  • "Good file organizer and it does not take up too much desk space. I like the design, it makes reaching for your documents easy."
  • "This one looks a bit 'spiffier' than similar organizers."
  • "Love this file holder hung it on the wall to hold often used files. Its perfect and freed up so much room in the file cabinet I may not need the file cabinet anymore."
  • "Fits well into a small space beside my laptop. 5 shelves are easy to access and keep important papers separate. Sturdy even when not attached to wall."
  • "It's money well spent."
  • "Very versatile - like the fact I can have file stand on my desk or hang on wall. Bins have ample spacing between. Very neat looking."

Cons:

  • "Could not use at all. Too late to return when I went to put it up and there was absolutely no hardware at all."
  • "I had ordered a silver one and it was perfect so I went ahead and ordered a black one but this one was designed wrong I wasn’t able to assemble it."
  • "But I wanted it to store my 12x12 cardstock for my crafting. Unfortunately, the depth of each shelf wouldn’t allow that without half the cardstock leaning over."
  • "The only thing I don’t like is the bar that goes across the middle and makes it hard to use the middle shelf."
  • "One of the welds was broken. Just flimsy all over!"
  • "I just don’t like that the little plates you slide in can come out pretty easy."
  • "The angled piece was broken off before opening."

Assembly and Installation

Pros:

  • "Very easy to put together!"
  • "I have never assembled one of these before. It was easy."
  • "Assembly not difficult, but read the instructions to make it easy."
  • "Building was a sitch and you will need a flat head screwdriver. Instructions very clear."
  • "Putting together was an easy process and took no more than 5 minutes."
  • "Quick to setup and easy to install onto the wall!"
  • "It was sooooo easy to build! After looking at the instructions I build both in less than 10 min!"

Cons:

  • "When I opened it up, the parts were organized properly with each major piece in its own plastic bag to prevent scratching during shipping. The issue I’m having is that all the screws and such hardware was missing, all of them."
  • "Got this in the mail it was disabled when I got it. Forgot to take pictures of it when it came but the instructions were easy to follow to assemble it. But I only gave it four stars because my shelf itself was missing a piece for hanging it on the wall."
  • "I did have a little trouble putting the organizer together, but once I figured it out it was simple."
  • "But the shelves don't lock... meaning that when I grab something from it, (or when it frequently tips over) the shelves come out."
  • "Mine came broken so I was unable to properly assemble the rack."
  • "Defective. The left metal hook/hanger is missing, seems it was assembled incomplete....requested for a replacement due to defective 1st shipment."
  • "Set this unit up and then realized it was missing a shelf holder clip on one side of the unit."

Functionality and Stability

Pros:

  • "It helps to organize and the best part is that my desk is not cluttered because it goes on the wall."
  • "It does exactly what it says it does and looks exactly like the image."
  • "I use it to organize the assignments Mon-Fri for my class."
  • "You can mount it on the wall to make room on your desk or to use as an organizer for the kitchen."
  • "This little device is great! I stood it up on its little feet and immediately began stuffing it full of classroom magazines, absent work, etc and it took it all."
  • "It will help me keep active files and paperwork tidy, organized and handy, rather than strewn all over."
  • "I have this freestanding on my desk, not even up against a wall and it's super stable."

Cons:

  • "It's not very sturdy, so if you're buying it I strongly recommend hanging it on the wall."
  • "I wish the angle of the file slots was a little more up right. The files lean so far forward that unless you are using this file organizer up high it's not very practical if you want to be able to read the tabs on the files while in the organizer."
  • "The shelves however slide in and move around too easily. If they were screwed in, this product would be perfect."
  • "Your definitely gonna want to secure it to wall or the top end. It may tip over if the weight is not distributed properly."
  • "It's a little flimsy but it works well for what we need it for."
  • "It's not well built and the papers sheet can get from a section to a lower one."
  • "However, I must agree with other users, it must be screwed to the wall for stability."

Value and Satisfaction

Pros:

  • "Great value and product."
  • "At first the price was too good to be true and expected a shabby item. Turns out, it was the perfect size, strength and capacity. High quality and easy to assemble."
  • "But for the cost and everything definitely great."
  • "This was so much cheaper than local office supply stores."
  • "Great, I would not be hesitant to buy again or another item from the same company."
  • "These are decent construction, easy to assemble, and a good value for the price."
  • "This product works well and will most likely be attached to the wall for years to come."

Cons:

  • "Arrived bent on the back, but with folders inserted, it's not noticeable."
  • "It came broken to me but I managed to figure out how to fix it and make it work."
  • "I'd buy something else though if you're like me and hate returning things, because quality consistency seems to be a real issue here."
  • "I ordered 2 by mistake and I am not impressed that I have to pay $16.00 in shipping to return the item."
  • "Box arrived damaged and looked like it had been previously opened."
  • "Update: return of defective item confirmed receipt on Sept 9 and no refund or credit back to card has been issued to date. Today is Oct 11. Please advise....."
  • "I’d hoped to find it a little cheaper."
