Safco 5-Tier Vertical Mesh Desktop Organizer

I use this in an unconventional way – to store lids upright for my pots and pans.
Very sturdy! Great purchase!!

Each level of the file makes the tabs more visible and makes filing faster than in a file cabinet. Going to order 4 more. A bit expensive but in the long run worth it.

Muy útil para el escritorio. Elegante y sobre todo puedo organizar libretas y libros.

This file organizer neither for a desktop, is just really pretty darn good. It’s built well, it looks great, and I have nothing bad to say about it at all. The wood bottom is well finished, the mesh metal divider panels will look great, and have a nice quality finish on them.
I would have to recommended for sure.

A very attractive and sturdy sorter. Buying more!!

Love the design and can hold a lot of different papers/folders

For some time now, I’ve been looking for an office organizer that would both save space on my tiny desk and help me keep bills and other paperwork sorted.

After reviewing a number of available options, I chose this particular model in Safco’s Onyx Mesh line both for its orientation (the front is one of the short sides, which works better on my desk than would an organizer with the front openings along a long side) and for its array of horizontal shelves and upright file slots. It replaced a single letter tray, which it completely eclipses in terms of utility.

My desk organizer sits beside the ancient desktop computer that my better half has been using to track his finances since long before we met; the desk they share with a rather large flat-panel monitor is perhaps one meter in length. Prior to the installation of the desk organizer, I struggled to find room on the desk for the cup that holds pens and the like, our stapler, the restaurant check spindle where we keep receipts waiting to entered, and our return address stamp. Likewise, it was a challenge keeping the stacks within my letter tray — one for bills to pay and one for outgoing correspondence, not to mention miscellaneous paperwork and office accessories — from getting jumbled.

Safco’s desk organizer has solved those problems. I use one of the file slots for bills to pay, one to hold the envelope containing the present month’s entered receipts until the bank statement arrives and it’s time to reconcile the account, one for household paperwork to be filed, and one for school paperwork to be filed. This leaves one extra slot for stray paperwork, correspondence to be mailed, or whatever else wanders across my desk in need of a temporary holding-place.

The shelves, meanwhile, are evolving: right now, the top one holds our check register, some Post-It flags, and some postage stamps, the middle one remains empty except for two or three stray receipts waiting to be filed, and the bottom one holds a deck of Uno cards (in need of a permanent abode) and a bank statement I’m in the process of reconciling. Eventually, specialty papers for the printer (photo paper, iron-on transfer paper) will move into the bottom shelf and work-in-progress will move to the middle shelf. The shelves would be equally convenient for keeping files at hand, organizing textbooks, and so forth.

Best of all, there’s now a bunch of extra space on my desk. I can keep a drink nearby without having to temporarily shift my receipt spindle to the printer stand or the top of the computer. Everything’s in reach, and everything’s neat and tidy. Even the stapler has a home now, right next to the desk organizer (it used to live in the letter tray, where it doubled as a paperweight).

Even better, the desk organizer looks great and is well-constructed. I’m sure that you could break it if you tried hard enough, but it should stand up just fine to everyday wear and tear. It’s quite convenient that it’s black, since all my other office stuff is also black. My desk now looks quite pulled-together.

Honestly, though I haven’t had it very long, I’m already unsure how I managed to keep things sorted without it. Great job, Safco!
