- IF YOU NEED A LITERATURE ORGANIZER: "DO NOT BUY THIS ONE"...

- BEWARE OF "ANY" THAT USE THE WORDS: "CORRUGATED FIBREBOARD"
WHICH IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE "CARDBOARD" WHICH MEANS IT IS A
VERY FRAGILE - WHICH MEANS IT WILL FALL APART QUICKLY WITH
NORMAL USE...

- CONTRARY THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: THIS IS NOT A "STURDY UNIT"
AS IT COMES TO YOU - IF YOU WANT "STURDY" YOU WILL HAVE TO DO
IT YOURSELF & GO TO HARDWARE STORE AND GET HARDBOARD THAT WILL
HAVE TO BE "CAREFULLY" CUT AND FIT IT YOURSELF...

- ALSO IF YOU NEED TO WALL MOUNT IT - YOU HAVE "NOTHING" THAT COMES
WITH IT TO SIMPLY "WALL MOUNT IT" - SO AGAIN YOU YOU WILL HAVE TO
SUPPLY & INSTALL YOUR OWN BRACKET'S & AND/OR SUPPORTS TO VERY
CAREFULLY SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH A "UNIT THAT HAS VERY LITTLE TO
WORK WITH"...

- THERE ARE "SOME" GREAT LITERATURE ORGANIZERS OUT THERE - BUT YOU
HAVE TO READ THE "PRODUCT DESCRIPTION" LIKE A LAWYER & REMEMBER
ESPECIALLY WITH THESE: "YOU MIGHT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"...

I love this organizer. I use it for mail and bills, and have many of the slots labeled for specific stuff. Admittedly it can also end up being a place for junk, but I try to keep the junk cleared out. While I use this attractive organizer for mail, you can also use it for magazines, hobbies, supplies, or numerous other uses. Before we got this organizer I piled mail on a table, and it got higher and higher. Now I am limited to this organizer, so when it gets full, it's time to get rid of some mail!

This organizer works great for classroom "mailboxes"(work/notices that need to be brought home). It is much sturdier than a similar product being sold in a school supply catalog which is made totally from cardboard. I was a bit skeptical when I saw that the inside dividers were made of cardboard, but once the plastic cross-strips were attached it was very sturdy. I would not put anything heavy in the "cubbies" due to the cardboard shelving, but it is working great for papers!

this thing was not worth my time and effort. frankly you should be embarrassed for selling it. it is impossible to put together. the pegs dont stay in the holes. even with the glue. nothing lines up. i would get rid of the whole line.

The dividers are made out of cardboard, and you have to assemble the whole thing.

It's not the quality I expected, but it does the job.

This item was purchased as a "mail center" for our preschool class. A slot for each child's daily work/communication. It was easy to assemble and very durable. The students love having a place of their own for their work. We always ask them to check their mail before they leave for the day. The extra compartments are used for construction paper etc.

These are cheap mailboxes and I dont recomment them. Maybe for short-term use, but not for long term. The back is hard to mount to any wall, and break easily. Buy a more sturdy mail box holder.

I needed a mailbox for my classroom - this 24 slot organizer was perfect for my needs. The color is just what I was looking for, since I like my classroom to be on the brighter side. The assembly wasn't bad at all. At first I was worried about how sturdy it would be (after gluing in the pegs, it seemed like it was just wavering from side to side), but after letting the glue dry and putting in the small nails to hold the back on, it was fine and has since held up with no problems at all. I'm glad I didn't spend more on a different mailbox, because this model worked out perfectly. I would recommend it to other teachers looking for an affordable classroom mailbox system.

Organizer was poorly constructed with holes to build set in the wrong place. Had to re-drill some holes to make it all fit together and it is still cock-eyed.

Item was received damaged and defective. I called the company, guy on phone was nice; however, the person he talked to about my problem said that I was not assembling correctly. They wanted to ship another one, but I was able to assemble where we could use anyway. We needed shelving immediately. The item is shoddy and I do not understand why any company would want to send this product out with their name on it. It says it holds up to 200 pounds and it is already buckling under the little weight we have on it. Little value for money spent. It is cardboard for the shelves.
