SafcoWooden Paper and Mail Organizer for Home Office and Classroom, Adjustable Shelves and Stackable, 12 Compartments, Cherry

Generally, I really like Safco products that I've purchased in the past. This one says "Wood Adjustable..." and the picture is not at all clear about the shelves, but, that's where the trouble begins. Unlike my other Safco sorters, these shelves are and look like, cheap thick cardboard that is ill-sized. They do NOT sit permanently or even safely on their metal pegs the way they have in the past. If your hand simply brushes up against one of the shelves, the whole thing loses its hold on the back pegs and falls down. Also, one of the things that I recall is that in the past the shelves were sturdier and had a paper covered surface that looked like the grain of the rest of the organizer. Secondly, this is not wood, but wood composite, and hitting the dowels into their holes made them chip out through the bottom of the cabinet, leaving a bunch of pieces of wood chips on the floor. This is not as good as the Safco products were formerly made. I haven't put it into place yet, but I'm frankly worried about it carrying the weight of the things I shall place on the organizer - the same things I put on the previous one, but fewer of them. Maybe it will perform well, but I'm just not as happy with this Safco product as I have been with past products from the same company. Disappointed. I wouldn't say to not buy this, but do be aware that you're NOT getting a wood cabinet, but a wood particle product. ;-( Well, now I have had this piece of junk in place for months, and all I can think of doing is getting rid of it, which I AM going to do. I've already purchased a replacement from another company whose products I know better, and I can't wait until I throw this pile of &*() out. Everything I've ever put into it ends up on the shelf below it or on the floor because of the incredible instability of the shelf "system". Do NOT buy this. It isn't worth the money, and you can't glue cardboard shelves to metal pegs unless you want to have sticky epoxy glue dripping down - even the 5-minute epoxy glue. This is a horrible product.

We purchased this to use as a family charging center for all of our devices, but I'm not sure it's going to work. The outer surface is an okay quality, but the dowel holes are not deep enough to assemble without some hammering and once you do hammer, they go through the outer side , creating cracks and holes in the finish. We even used a towel over a mallet rather than a hammer directly on the finish and got the same results. This really shouldn't happen.The other thing is that the "hardboard" shelves are more like pressed cardboard. They're pretty flimsy, and on my cherry finished shelf, are a white/grey color, so they don't even look decent. This isn't easily apparent in the photos as there's only one photo where the shelves aren't covered with paper and even then, they photographed in shadow to make them appear darker and with a smoother finish. In reality they have a cheap "pressed paper" finish. You're supposed to slide black plastic covers over the out-facing ends to help them stay in place, which does work a little bit, but it's not going to hold up to my kids pulling tablets and phones in and out. Sadly, this wasn't really discernable in the photos included in the description.Overall, this might be okay if you're actually using it for papers or another product that will cover the cheap-looking shelves, and it's mostly used by an adult who will use it carefully. Otherwise, go with a better-made product. I can't believe I paid over $40 for this thing. This is a significantly lower quality product than something from IKEA.

This is big and holds a lot. Shelves are spaced wide enough to get your hand in. They are adjustable within limits. It does exactly what I need it to do. Once assembled it is sturdy and will not come apartHowever, it is made of chipboard—with fiberboard shelves and back. This makes it unnecessarily heavy and difficult to assemble. Unless you have a large rubber mallet, or take great care, you will dent the board and/or veneer. Assembly is messy and you may puncture the chipboard with a dowel.The shelves are strong enough for most items. They are reinforced by clever metal front-caps that also keep them from sliding out as you pull items out. The fiberboard back panel is flimsy and you must nail it on but it is functional.All-in-all, despite its flaws I would buy this organizer again. I would gladly pay a few bucks more for plywood, which would be lighter and sturdier.

Back is a thin flimsy piece of thick paper/thin (very thin) cardboard. As you begin to put this together. the connectors can go through the bottom or top, at which point the particle board begins to come off. The shelves are flimsy pieces of also rather thin particle "board" (thick paper!). Flimsy nails are given to nail the piece of flimsy paper (far thinner than poster board!) to the rest of the case. Some work. Some are crushed with even a light touch of a rubber hammer.I've put a lot of things together, but have never seen anything quite so poorly made! What is remarkable is that this looks okay - just like in the picture. The outside shell is sturdy - just chips easily and can crumble during assembly.Amazingly, all of the pieces do fit - holes are in right place, etc.Shelves are just balancing in place. They can not hold anything near what is promises, and when pulling papers out, shelves come along with the papers, or the shelves slide and collapse into level below.The produce manufacturer is clever, however, You soak the connection pieces in water to create a glue, and, once you have connected pieces (minus the shelves!), the thing is not coming back apart. So, I can't get this awful thing back apart to return, so I am stuck with this thing.My advice - don't buy! Bad product and inappropriate description!

poor quality. it's not "real" wood it's flimsy wood paneling material for the shelves as back and plywood type for the box itself. not impressed.
