Bought this as a gift for one of the teachers at our elementary school. Was a much appreciated gift! Was perfect for her goal of organization.

The material is weak. Be careful putting together. The pegs will poke through the top and bottom when you put together. Not worth the money.

This was a poor purchase. The sides, tops, and bottoms did not line up. Screws were too long so when I tried to bring pieces flush, they went through and bubbled up the "wood" on the other side. Super waste of money.

works perfectly

Nice size, easy to assemble. Just what is needed!

Love that this has the sturdiness. Most I found were made of cardboard and that wasn’t gonna cut it.

It work great it being use at my job

Use care assembling. Tips: When you assemble be sure to drive the pegs all the way in. I was worried about getting the pegs too low or losing them all together and that was a major mistake and they popped laminate off the top when I put the top on. The instructions are just pictures so had they had one line saying "drive pegs all the way in - they will stop where they should" I wouldn't have caused myself grief I did. Also, the laminate and thin particle board combo is quite delicate. So when you nail in the cardboard back to the shelving (it's just cardboard) with the provided nails you have to get the nails dead center on the particle board or you'll have laminate bulging where you don't want it as the particle board gives for the nail. I bought two of these. One had nice shelf inserts with a nice finish. The other had much cheaper shelf inserts which felt very much like heavy cardboard. Probably based on when/where it was sourced. I learned from my mistakes building the first one. Building the second one went better. Once assembled they do the job they need to do for us. Warts and all. Less

The vertical space between the inside-top of the unit and the first shelf is about 2.2" high. The space between two individual shelves is about 2.3". This is less than the 2 3/8" in the photos, and other people have even said 2.5", but it's just 2.3". Perhaps the 2 3/8 is referring to the distance including the thickness of the shelf. I was going to use it to hold bead organizer boxes. It fits the shorter ones just fine, but I have some slightly taller boxes that it does not fit because of this discrepancy. Other than that, it's a fairly solid piece of furniture. The shelves can be pretty easily lifted upward, but they have small plastic brackets that keep them from sliding out. The shelves themselves are not super thick or strong, but are sturdy enough to hold a reasonable amount of weight. I did not soak the wooden pegs, but they still fit very snugly and the whole thing holds together well even without soaking them. My box did not come with the nails needed to mount the backing, but I had a bunch of my own to use. Overall, a good organizer. For the price, it's pretty solid. Many of the others out there are partly made of cheap cardboard, but this is made of particle board and the shelves are, I believe, MDF. I'll inspect it more closely later and maybe provide more comprehensive dimensions for anyone that needs them. Less

Assembly was simple - and I'm terrible at assembly. The cherry colored finish on exposed surfaces actually looks good. The product is not finished on the back or bottom so just make sure it's placed on a solid surface and against a wall. The shelves are made of this cardboard-y thin manufactured wood and the color is unfinished so it really looks like you've got cardboard shelves. It won't hurt performance, but you'll see it whenever you look at the unit. MOST IMPORTANTLY -- during assembly, tap the pegs around 2/3 to 3/4 of the way into the three vertical pieces. If you don't do that, when you place the top and bottom pieces in place, the pegs will penetrate through the surface of the horizontal pieces. Yes, that happened to me. Told you that I'm terrible at assembly! Also, tap gently with your hammer. The wood surfaces are easily damaged. For the price this provides very good storage in a compact space. Best review I can offer is that I'm considering buying a second unit. Less

Perfect size for papers

Perfect for work, helps me keep all of my papers organized.

Perfect for my project!

This organizer is just what I needed to organize the a project I'm currently working on.

Stay Away

Very poor construction. Just assembling gently will cause damage unnecessarily due to poor quality.

This is the best file stand for my classroom. Plenty of room for my students to keep their folders tucked away.

Height is Taller Than Advertised

Purchased this item because it was advertised as 20" tall, a perfect fit for where we needed a literature organizer. However upon assembly we realized it was actually more than 21" tall and wouldn't fit. What a frustrating waste of time. Thankfully we measured it before completing assembly and were able to box it back up and return it to OfficeMax. Purchased the next smallest size elsewhere for half the price of OfficeMax, after OM refused to honor their online competitor's price in accordance with their own price match policy.

nice for office

This is very easy to install and assemble . The color is nice and the quality is good for the price . Some office stores charge you double for this item

DO NOT PURCHASE!

We purchased two for our office, and didn’t even finish building the first before calling it quits and wanting a full refund. The description says it is made of wood but in reality it is only cheap press board, no solid wood in the whole set. The directions have easy to understand pictures but no written instructions. The pegs bust right though the connecting piece and ruin the entire thing.DO NOT PURCHASE!

Love it

I use the product for storing my card stock paper. I really like it, looks great and now my paper is organized and right at my finger tips.It was easy to put together, had alittle trouble with the dowels popping thru. I called customer Service and they credited my acct 25$, I was very happy. I will order from office supply again.

Poor instructions make for poor result.

Well, I set aside an hour to build this the other night. It was quite easy to follow directions, however, i hammered down the dowels (DID NOT SPECIFY how far to bang them down.), then adding the other side of the unit, I now have punctures at each dowel site popping through the top.and bottom externally! looks terrible . but im not spending another $70 to hold papers!
