I purchased this USED for around $10. It arrived quickly but with the back section broke off. However, the break was clean and was easily reattached with wood glue. To me, it was worth the discount as the rest of the unit looks brand new... Therefore, I elected to keep it and am NOT reflecting this in my review.
This desktop organizer is very classy. It appears high quality and is a great accessory for creating an elegant office space. The main compartment accommodates various office supplies items including standard sized scissors. On the right side, the smaller compartment fits about 4 pens/pencils or permanent makers. The tray can hold Post-It Notes and acts as a useful "catch-all" to house smaller office necessities such as stray paper clips.
For office supplies, I'm a big fan of Victor and own various items from the Pure White Wood Collection. I think that the Rolodex Wood Tones Collection coordinates beautifully with Victor's. While it costs less, and this is reflected in the quality, the Rolodex line is still of high enough craftsmanship to look good next to Victor. I like the contrast between the black and white and pairing the accessories with the black glass whiteboard by Quartet for a bold effect.
As part of my home office make-over, I recently purchased several other items from the Rolodex Wood Tones Collection in Black, including the wooden paper trays (legal and letter sized) and desktop contact organizer (+ the telephone stand to use for work). I've found this line to be highly functional and elegant. With its simple lines, it has an uncluttered, streamlined look. I imagine that it would work well across many design schemes ranging from modern to traditional. The wooden construction is fairly durable and moderately thick (again, it's not as heavy or thick as Victor but the price is more reasonable). The black finish is a nice matte, so it's not shiny and seems to be resistant to scratches.
Oberall, I think this is a useful office essential and will last a long time. I recommend it as well as other accessories from the Rolodex Wood Tones Collection.
