Initially I was hesitant to buy this as I saw a review on another site that warning stuffing the paper clips into the top hole is difficult. Indeed, there is no bottom hatch to dump in a ton of paperclips. However, it's really not that hard to load it up--It took me less than 2 minutes to get 200 paperclips into this.

Despite what the other reviewer said, the magnet is not really that strong. You can put this near a hard drive without a problem. As an experiment, I put some data onto a hard disk, left the hard disk sitting on top of the clip holder for a day--no data loss. Speaking as a guy who has worked in computer storage for some time, it takes some serious magnets to mess up a hard disk.

If you have the pencil holder in this collection, this paper clip holder is a little shorter and a little narrower. It looks great with the other pieces of this set (I have the letter trays, a few pencil holders, the business card holder).

Highly recommended. There's not much out there that looks this good at this price.

Warning - the strong magnet that catches paper clips at the top is a danger to disk drives and computer displays, so give this gadget a wide berth - at least 2 feet away from your CPU, floppies, ZIP disks, etc. If you have an office that has paper, you need paper clips. Instead of retrieving them from the box they came in, add a touch of class to your desk by sticking them in this mahogany holder, very sleek.

This holder is nice because it looks great and doesn't make a lot of noise when you shake it to get the paperclips to the magnet. The only downside to it is that you have to load the paperclips through the hole in the top because it doesn't come apart.

The product is as described by the seller. It looks nice. But I wish the magnet is stronger.
