3.0 out of 5 stars Cute but(t)..., October 26, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Butt Station - Desk Accessory: Tape Dispenser Pen Memo Holder Clip Storage (Random Color) (Office Product)

I got it because I wanted to clean up my desk and consolidate all the tools. This is definitely a cute product. Clever and fun. It does (almost) everything, BUT doesn't do any of them well. "Almost everything" because it would be nice to include a stapler. The pen holder is very small, and is not designed for fat pens. The post-it note holder is good, until your pad is half-way through and too thin for the holder. There's a magnet on his butt to pull up the paper clips; however, it pulls up all the paper clip at once, and it's hard to set him back down cuz the paper clip will get in the way. AND small paper clips only. The biggest weakness is the tape dispenser. The spool is too small for a standard size Scotch tape, so the tape spins too easily. The toothed cutter is not sharp enough or close enough to the edge, so it's definitely a two hand job to get the tape.
My scores (out of 10):
As a pen holder: 6
as a post-it holder: 7
as a paper-clip dispenser: 7
as a tape dispenser: 5
overall: 6

4.0 out of 5 stars As the other reviewer said, good but..., May 24, 2010

The other reviewer hit it right on the head.
Biggest problem is the tape dispenser, the way it is positioned is not just that it's not close enough to the feet, but it is angled. So the flat piece before the teeth is actually angled so that the tape will NOT touch it, thus holding it in place when you pull the tape against the cutters. So you have to touch the tape there to make sure it sticks and is held.

And all my pens stick out on one side since, as noted, the mouth doesn't hold wide pens. So my little guy looks almost like someone shot an arrow and there's just a little bit sticking out one side, the rest hanging way out the other side.

Haven't done the paper clip thing.

But at least for me I didn't get it to be a great replacement for everything, I just got it as a whimsical item to sit on my desk. That it has any function at all only adds to its charm.

So 4/5 from me, since it at least DOES what it purports, just doesn't really to an outstanding job...

I find this to be great for what it is. It's not the most functional desk accessory, but is it really meant to be? I've had no problems with the teeth on the tape cutter, as have others. Yes the note holder would probably work best with a fuller note pad. (I haven't used mine down yet, but I could see where a smaller one would be less manageable.) I've had not problems with the magnet for the paper clips. It is a little awkward to maneuver but that's to be expected with an oddly shaped item. Other than that I am so happy with this. It certainly does get attention and laughs at the office.
