VARIO 20 Pocket Desktop Reference System - Letter Size 10 Double-Sided Panels - Assorted Color Borders

After researching various models of desktop references and reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this one due to the higher rating. It arrived well packaged and on the date specified. I found it very easy to put together and did not need any help. I love that I have two viewing angles to choose from. I tried both and found the best one that suits my space and needs. I also love that there is room to expand by purchasing an additional 10-panel expansion kit. I like the stability of the base and have no worries of it tipping over. It’s also a nice width so it doesn’t take up too much space. I understand that it is more pricey than other 10-panel Desktop references, but you are paying for the additional viewing angle and expandability. The downsides I have found are the difficulty of finding the expansion kit and the viewing angle I prefer is the standard one on the less expensive models. I found the expansion kit online for $56 and frankly find it cheaper purchasing the 20-panel desktop reference than purchasing the 10-panel and the expansion kit separately. I suggest purchasing a less expensive model if you only need 10-panel. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would buy this brand again.

I ordered this desktop reference system for my office and absolutely love it. It is easy to assemble, very sturdy, and makes the office look neat and tidy. Now I don't pieces of paper all over the place - they are all together in one unit. I would be even better if the plastic edging around the pages was black or gray, but that's only a minor complaint. Overall I am extremely happy with this item.

Wow my product was delivered quick!!! I ordered some other products in my same order and they were no even shipped until after this product arrived. The 10 - Panel Desktop Reference was ordered for my desk at work. Now everyone in the office wants to order it as well. Very easy to put together and sturdy for my needs. I always have things I have to quickly reference to and now I can with my 10 panel desktop reference. Great price and great office support item.

The only reason why I am giving it only 4 stars is that I would have like the pockets to be open at the top end and not below the individual top page frame. It is a bit tricky to get the papers in and out and since the plastic material is not the strongest I am just wondering how long it takes until one of them possibly rips. (Let's hope never :P) Other than that I like it because it is easily assembled, easily flips the pages, the labels are really well readable due to them being spaced out nicely and you have the option of putting them either at the top of the system or at the sides. Even though the plastic is milky the content in the pockets is well readable. I like it and I would get it again.

Excellent for reference (I use this at trial for stuff I need instant access to, such as condensed chronology, cast of characters, etc.) I previously had one from a different company, but the main stand was made of some sort of composite material and ultimately broke, whereas the main stand here is metal and looks like it will hold up much longer. You can insert prepared pages on both sides of each "flip" page (so, for example, a set with 10 "flip" pages actually permits you to display 20 reference pages of your own creation. Also, this one gives you a choice of two different angles for the reference material, one of which gives a relatively low profile and so can be used at counsel table without being intrusive. I have also seen these used in medical offices in the waiting room areas, so patients can easily refer to basic information. I can think of hundreds of potential uses, and bet you can too.

This totally reworked my desk organization. I LOVE IT and am getting more panels. It's neat and tidy and sits to the side out of the way with all my 'go to' lists, phone rosters, charts and codes. No more shuffling through piles of papers all day long - they stay handy and clean. My desk is neater and I save so much time. Wish I had this years ago. Worth every penny.

I needed easy access to several reference sheets and wanted to have more than 10 panels. Assembly is simple and quick, pages can be added/removed from the top loading inserts rather easily. The footprint is very reasonable for smaller desks (mine has a lot of equipment on it), the only drawback on this well constructed model is that rough handling when turning panels could make them pop out from the base, but they go back in quickly. The panels reduce glare, but don't impede visibility. I wish it also had the ability to rotate for landscape pages, but I preferred this model over those that had that feature and I'm happy with my decision. The color coded panels are great for quickly knowing which panel you need when looking up info. Base is sturdy, no danger of falling or flipping when flipping through the panels. Better price on Amazon compared to the major office supply stores and better shipping with Prime!

After only 6 months multiple tines have broken off making many sections un-usable.

just be aware it is very upright. must be viewed sitting down. not very good if you're standing up and trying to look at it.

It arrived in good time... didn’t have to wait long. Good product and easy to assemble.

Works well and does what it is advertised to do. It is great that it can be expanded down the road when required. Extremely satisfied with the purchase.
