Review on White 10-Slot Construction Paper Storage For 12" X 18" Paper By Classroom Keepers - 17"H X 27"W X 19"D by Jackie Shallenberger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy and Simple in my review

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.

Pros
  • Can be used for other types of paper organization too
Cons
  • Does not offer any sort of locking mechanism
