Marbrasse Wooden Desk Organizer, Multi-Functional DIY Pen Holder, Organizer for desk, Desktop Stationary, Easy Assembly, Home Office Art Supplies Storage with Drawer (B11-Cherry Color)

Pros: This was a pretty good little organizer for what it is. The drawer at the bottom is kinda small but good for flat items. The slots hold a lot of items too. The angle is just about right for storing my eyeliner pen tip-down without tipping it so far it leaks out too much, which is a nice plus. It's just pressboard so not crazy strong but more than capable of holding pens or bathroom stuff. Assembly was pretty easy, but definitely recommend using your own screwdriver as the one that comes with is rather small and hard to use. Instructions were straightforward. Turned out to be far more stable than I expected which was nice.Some minor tweaks that helped:- knotted a thin hair tie and ran it through the hole for a drawer pull as I didn't really like the knob included in the package. changes the look a bit.- ran black marker over the exposed tan pressboard edges - makes everything look a bit more finished. You could do it to the screws too if you wanted to.- to keep the screws from going out of place during assembly, I tried to pinch around the slots the screws were going into to keep them from veering off to the sides and tearing up/cracking the surface of the pressboard.Cons: One note is that there are some screws that are kinda exposed on the top surface upon full assembly but that's not really something that seems to affect function - the tension from the screws biting into the edges of the pressboard is what keeps it together. The drawer just sits in the slot and isn't on a sliding rail or anything so you do have to manually align it and push it in a bit more than you would something like a larger dresser drawer. It really isn't an issue with function though.All things considered it's pretty good and definitely is far more space efficient than I expected.

I am a pen enthusiast. I have fountain pens, rollerball pens and ballpoint pens.I keep most of my more expensive pens in cases that have closing tops. I wanted something for my desk to hold pens I use to jot notes with, or for something else quick, and to keep a few other pens as well.I was looking for something inexpensive but somewhat nice to look at. When I saw this, I knew what I would be getting. The edges are unfinished, it's made out of thin wood, and it was inexpensive. I decided to give it a go. If it was no good, I would not have lost too much.It arrived within the time frame. I put it together in a short amount of time, I think a half hour or less. I did swap out the screwdriver they gave me for one of my own because the one they give you has a narrow barrel and even though the screws go in easily, my hand began cramping. I nevertheless kept the screwdriver that came with the hardware.Once together it is sturdy enough to do what it is designed to do. The slanted shelves do not screw in so they do not fasten tightly. They are easy to knock out of place. Be careful when you move it.In addition to the unfinished edges, the screws are visible.Again, I knew what I was getting. This is not an expensive pen display box. If you are looking for a utilitarian pen holder that holds a decent amount of pens, has a drawer, and looks decent for what it is, I recommend this item.

I bought this to hold the colored pencils I'm using when I am working on a drawing. It came with 15 'wooden' parts and 20 screws. It looked like it would be a hassle to assemble, but it wasn't. You assemble the drawer first, which leaves you with 10 pieces. After you assemble the first two of these pieces, it is very intuitive. Still, it did take about 15 minutes or so to put it together. The little screw driver they supply will work if you don't have anything else, but a larger one will make assembly much easier.The overall appearance is not great. Two screws show on the front of the drawer and four on each side of the unit. Also, there are slots where the pieces are connected together. The ends that go into the slots are not finished, so that detracts from the appearance also. If you look closely at the picture, you can see the slots on both sides of the drawer as well as the screws. The overall appearance is okay, which is fine, as I'm more interested in the number of pencils and other items it can hold.Eight Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils can sit on one row in each cubby. Nine Prismacolors can sit on one row in each cubby. I had 28 colored pencils arrive today for a drawing I will be starting, and they all slipped easily into one cubby. The pencils were mostly Caran d'Ache Luminance or Pablo pencils, with a few FC Polychromos. With 9 slots, it can hold a lot of pencils. It will also work well for sorting pencils that I'm using on the drawing (e.g. eye pencils, flesh tone pencils, lip pencils, etc...). The drawer is cheap, but it is nice to hold various doodads such as erasers, pencil sharpeners, Exacto knife and blades.The only real problem is that it is difficult to see the colors of the pencils when you have them pointed out, which I always do so I don't break the pencil leads on my expensive pencils. This may simply be because of my height. However, if I lean it back slightly, I can see the color easy enough.As far as durability, it doesn't wobble at all once put together. I think it will be fine if you don't move it around a lot.Over all this box fits my needs and has a pretty good price point.
