Classroom Keepers 10-Slot Construction Paper Storage

Firstly, the people leaving negative reviews because this organizer is cardboard are just ridiculous! Its very clear that the material is cardboard. Not wood, if you take the time to read description! (Anyone purchasing items online should know that you should always pay attention to what you're paying for). Hello, ever heard the saying "buyer beware"? Anyway, This is a perfectly sturdy, cardboard paper storage organizer! The cardboard is not flimsy box material. Its corrugated cardboard, and almost 1/2" thick all around. Plus, it was fairly easily and quickly assembled with included diagram and instructions. The one thing I really don't like is how large the completed unit it is once put together because it makes it very hard to find a space to actually put it lol. Yes, i could've made a similar organizer with cardboard myself, but I don't have access to this thick of cardboard and with standard cardboard boxes, it would've been too flimsy to hold paper of this size and weight. This holds my 12x12 and letter sized cardstock and copy paper, as well as scrap papers perfectly fine! I've had it for 6 months now, and there aren't any defects, or bowing in any spot so far. Im very happy with this purchase and would buy again if needed. Again, don't pay attention to reviews that are negative because they got cardboard. They should've read the description. This was priced fairly for the size and capacity for storage. If I was buying a unit of this size in wood material I'd pay over $100, so this is an affordable, yet practical option for anyone needing paper storage or a letter organizer. I definitely recommend it for that!

Great quality and easy to assemble. Keeps paper organized.

I debated for a while to spend $20-ish whole dollars on this paper keeper. I mean, really, do we need to separate our colors? I finally took the plunge and am super glad I did. Having the colors of construction paper sorted has kept the kids from pulling out excess sheets and never restacking the paper. They also use less now. It seems to be a mental thing, like oh, we should just get the one we need instead of 10 reds, 5 blues, and 87 white pieces. Win! It's much sturdier than I expected, but it is cardboard, so don't expect it to be wood. It fits nicely on my Ikea Hemnes shelf and is a similar white. It does hang over the base of the shelf a bit, but is the exact depth of the sides of the shelf so it doesn't look obtrusive. The white would also be easy to decorate or color. The instructions were straight forward. It took maybe 5 minutes to put it together. I'm giving four stars because the middle supports could use a tab or something to 'click' into the top and bottom. I can see over time if one of the cubbys is more full than other ones the center supports could warp or shift and not look as nice. I may purchase another one to use for the smaller wooden puzzles. It would not fit the larger wooden puzzles, not in depth or width, but is perfect for the small ones.

This was not a pleasant experience. First, the box arrived OPENED and NO DIRECTIONS! I contacted the company and received NO RESPONSE. I watched all the videos with no help. After a week, I was finally able to find the directions online. Ridiculous! I put it together, and it's OKAY. I've used cardboard shelves like this and they've lasted for years, but I doubt this one will. First, the "brace" piece that holds up the shelves did NOT have enough of an indentation to help with folding the sides in. The 'tabs' that are supposed to help hold the pieces in position really aren't sturdy enough and don't have any type of slot to slip into to help hold them into place. I will NOT purchase this brand again. It will be interesting to see if it lasts long at all. My other brand has lasted me for about 4 years but I don't hold much hope that this one will. Terrible.

Our 12x18 construction paper was stacked on a pile in a cabinet and so it was not easy to access each color. This organizer/ divider makes it so easy to access the color you want without lifting and restacking all the paper. It’s sturdy and easy to assemble.

This was easy to assemble and had plenty of slots, which was great for organizing colored paper. But each compartment was just a little too short to fit a full pack of construction paper, so I always had a pile of "leftovers" that didn’t fit. It also wasn’t sturdy enough to move once it was full—made of cardboard, so I suppose that’s to be expected. It lasted about a year and a half before falling apart. I’ve since upgraded to a hardwood organizer from Lakeshore Learning and haven’t looked back.

Works great for me. Much sturdier than I expected.

Used this to organize the art closet in my classroom! It was perfect quality and was easy to put together.
