I run a mid-sized office with 12 to 15 employees. Needless to say, desks become cluttered with the amenities of the modern world: post-its of various sizes, flags and tags, markers and highlighters, colored clips and staples, and designer elastic bands and ties. Of course, this means that whenever you are looking for something handy, you can never find it!
This desk organizer starts with two brilliant innovations: it is deep, so it holds serious quantities of your office knick-knacks, reducing trips to the supply closet; and it is expandable, which makes it infinitely portable and maximally useful.
In the illustration, the section where the big pink Post-It pad is placed really covers a secret compartment, in which you put a roll of Scotch tape, meaning you can skip buying a tape dispenser. Also, you can tuck important items: your keys, small change, safety pins, your broken earring, a condom, whatever you want kind of out of sight, but still safe.
And because all your important little items are so neatly tucked away, changing desks is easy and cleaning the drawer is a snap.
And finicky sorts who want their organizers installed with an east-west orientation instead of north-south (as illustrated), can happily march to their own drummer.
I cannot recommend this organizer highly enough, and I have seen - or tried - every organizer Amazon has to offer! And despite having bought 18 of them in the last two years (I bought one each for my husband and kids), not a single one has broken or aged badly.

Our administrative assistant ordered this for me, when I moved into a desk that didn't have a top drawer. I have moved desks a few times since then and I haven't given it up yet - nor do I plan to. It is great! I slides over almost any drawer in your desk, organizes all of your office supplies, and puts it at your fingertips.

There are slots for Post-it Flags with free Durable Tabs (680-RYBGVA), 3M Post-it Flags in Pop-up Dispenser, Five Bright Colors 375 Count (688-AST2), 3M Post-it 3 x 3 Inch Notes, Five Colors, 100 Sheets 14 Pack (654-14AU), MMM6555PK Post-it Notes, 3"x5", 5/PK, 100 Sh/Pad, Neon Fusion (MMM6555PK) Qty-2, and tape. Along with many dividers - All of my office supplies fit and are organized.

The reason I only gave it 3 stars is because during the first 2 weeks I had it - one of the tabs broke off the lid that covers the tape area.

Recommended ~~ but be careful with the lid or you will break it.

I have owned these for years. Love this thing, there is nothing else like it. It can hang on the drawer or even on those hanging file metal dividers. Sits above the drawers contents below as this thing expands and has a lip on each side. Kind of slides from the front and back of your drawer so long as you have a deep enough drawer to handle it this way. Also used it in shallow drawers as it expands to fill the drawer area. Tape dispensor only works if you are using it to "span the top" of a deeper drawer though.

This will be my third purchase of one of these. I've lost one and broke another but used this drawer organizer for almost 15 years.

I work in a big office that somehow ends up having EVERYTHING you need. I was looking in a cabinet one day and found one of these. It was old and dirty but I cleaned it off and it was good as new. I have it on top of my desk to hold all my post-its, paperclips, and pushpins. I LOVE IT! I even had another post-it pop up dispenser that was the same as the top that fits into the square so I have a pop up dispenser on both sides. I'm only giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the little metal part that rips off the tape kept falling off. I had to tape it down so it wouldn't pop up. Overall I think it's great!

We have a small office, but everybody has one of these organizers, they help you a lot to find the things you need at the moment, if you change desk you can move your organizer because it's expandable, so it's yours for life, it's not the most sturdy thing in the world but neither is fragile, I think that only one in the office has some piece broken, but well the only things that you do not break are the things you don't use.

I moved into a cubicle that already has a 3M C-71 desk drawer organizer in the drawer. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how the tape dispenser works. It says to refill with Scotch brand 810 Magic Tape, and I understand that that tape comes with two different core sizes (1" and 3"), however, even with the 1" core tape, the snap-on lid won't snap closed and then the drawer can't close. Aside from that, it's an okay organizer, but I just can't figure out to use the tape dispenser.
