Safco Vertical Literature Organizer, 11 Compartments, Office and Classroom Mailbox with Adjustable Shelves, Wood Paper and Mail Sorter, Modern Gray

I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews, but these little shelves are great, especially given the cost. I purchased three of them and they were quick and easy to put together, I had no issues at all with anything fitting together. These are not ultra-high end, but they they look great and do the job. I work as a writer and I needed an organizer to place folders in and this does the job at a great price point. My only (minor) concern, is that the inserts could be a little sturdier, but so far they seem to be able to handle the weight I'm putting on them. I like these so much that I just ordered two more!

A little tricky to put together at first but so useful to have in my classroom! It fits in perfectly on top of my Montessori shelves for some teacher organization and prep space.

I followed all of the directions, even the weird one about wetting the dowels first, but this still broke when assembling because it’s such a cheap product. I’m assuming the dowels weren’t in far enough, but it’s hard to tell, because they’re too big for the holes and seem like that’s as far as they go. With other products, when you hammer the top on, it will naturally push the dowels in the lower piece into the proper position, but this is so cheaply made, that there’s not much material there and the dowels burst through and wreck the top. I emailed customer support, as Amazon refers you to do, but they never got back to me. I thought if they worked with me, I might find it worthwhile to rig it up and use my nail gun with some other wood. Right before returning it, I decided to call the number just in case. They answered, but the woman was borderline rude, asked where I bought it and said I had to deal with Amazon. She said it’s their product, but Amazon is the one who billed me, so I have to call them. I have never heard of that, and the few issues I’ve had, manufacturers are good about communication. My takeaway, Safeco doesn’t care about junk they peddle as a product or their customer service. Safe to say, I will never order from Safeco again.

Easy to put together and looks great from front and sides. Not sure how it will hold up in a very busy office with daily use. Online buyers should be made aware that the back is really just a piece of cardboard…. For this price and stability (durability as advertised), for lasting value at this price, there should be a matching particle board for the back (with matching finish). I’m shocked at the flimsy back side of this. Overall not quite the material quality one would expect at this price and the backside is terribly under par.

After reading the reviews of other people, I decided to take a chance on this paper organizer. Glue Pegs: Just dip the peg in water, for a second or two, shake off excess water and pound in place using a rubber mallet. I wet each peg as I needed one vs. soaking the entire batch. The blue stain does come off on your hands, but washed away easily for me. Damaged side walls: If you hammer directly onto the side wall (your bottom pegs are in place, and you’re hammering down your side wall to lock the perpendicular panel in place) you will split the veneer. Place a larger object (I had a ream of paper nearby), perpendicular to the surface you need to hammer and this should protect your walls from any damage happening. Organize your shelves first: Took another poster’s advice and removed a shelf divider to allow for an unopened ream of paper to sit on the bottom-most position. The individual shelf separators higher up will bend slightly if you put something heavy on them. I don’t think they’d be in danger of breaking, but if wavy lines bother your visual aesthetic, I’d consider placing the heaviest object on the bottom. The backing - I chose to skip it. For my needs, I was placing this organizer against the back wall of a larger bookcase shelf so I didn’t need to install the back piece. This allows me the option to customize the space in between each divider as it suits me. The unit does wobble very slightly, but in my case, this unit is tucked away in a location that adults have access to. I’m not under the impression that the entire unit will slide sideways and break without the backing, the unit is sturdy enough. Color - light gray I really wish they had a white option as my unit is white, however, in dim lighting the light gray is light enough where it doesn’t bother me.

I've used these for at least 3yrs now. They're great and strong. I bought 3 units and accidentally ruined one by hammering one of the little dowels too far and it split the wood on the other side. My own fault. The other 2 are great. I love all 3. I love being able to take out some shelves if I need one slot to be thicker / wider.

Sans vouloir nuire à ce produit, j'aimerais qu'en même dire que je m'explique mal le coût exorbitant de ce type d'objet. Quoi qu'il en soit, il est de qualité très correct à un prix plutôt concurrentiel.

solides kleines Regal, etwas hochpreisig, doch alternativlos, Möbel kommt zerlegt und muss noch zusammengebaut werden. Die Rückwand ist leider nur aus Pappe.

We bought this for the home office for filing of pending paperwork etc but the shelves are made of cupboard and the sides and top are made from chipboard. I was expecting a solid piece of wood or equipement. This is cheap materials How this can have a value of £55 is beyond me as it is not worth the month at all. I will be sending back as its not of the quality we were expecting.

I use this for storing different grades of sheet sandpaper and it fits well and is easy to use.
