Review on Tombow 56148 Brush Empty Upright by Karen Thomas

I was surprised how good this little stand is. The plastic construction is pretty solid and holds nearly 100 pens/pencils/whatever. Also, unlike similar pen holders, the top tier is *low*, so short pens and pencils fit in very well. I bought a second one to organize small tools like screwdrivers and scissors on my desk. Cons: Minor discomfort. The holes are all uniform and just the right size for a regular pen or pencil. They'll hold a full-size sharpie, but thick markers and thick rubber grip pens (popular today) won't work. I use crayons etc a lot and once they cut down to 3 inches this stand doesn't work anymore. keep them. The frame snaps into place, and if you lift a fully loaded stand by the top grille, it *might* pop out.
