Review on 🎍 Bamboo Desk Organizer: Multi-Drawer Storage Solution for Office, Home, and Vanity Needs by Mike Bray

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Universal desktop organizer.

This desk organizer was quickly adopted thanks to Prime. It's a good desktop organizer and the quality is solid, but I've had a few issues with it. The top drawer is difficult to pull out. I've checked the gaps around it and it looks like there are almost none over the edges at the top of the drawer. I think this is what causes air to get trapped behind it and why it's hard to close and open. I could be wrong but I sanded down the edges of the drawer to see if that would help but it didn't. I can feel the air barely escaping when I push the drawer as you can see in my video. I don't know, unfortunately I have a defect, but anyway I'm going to run my dremel along the back of the box to give it more clearance while I shave off the wood to see if that helps. Only the top large drawer does this, not the small ones. That was one of my problems. Second, it doesn't come in black, but that's not really a BIG issue as I'll be sanding the whole thing myself and painting it black, then protecting it with matte acrylic paint. I don't really care, but for those who don't/can't DIY (do it yourself "DIY"), I would suggest either sticking with the bamboo look/color or looking for something else the color you want. I think this is a great desktop organizer. Although I use mine for the bedside table, the drawers are cool, but I think my finger is too fat (or too big) for the hole they have to open the drawer in, so I'll just add my own handles, no. also a problem. I tend to change things anyway, so for most others it might just be a click and order. Otherwise I still think it's great. I want the top large drawer to be on the bottom and the small ones on top, and yes you can get that orientation by turning it upside down, but personally I need the top of the shelf to hold my current books, which I do reading. a small tissue box, my wallet and my piggy bank. You can't swap them because the little boxes are shared between each other, so you'll have to flip the whole thing if you want to change the orientation of the boxes. Great product so far. 8/10 because I need to add some fat to some mods lol.

Pros
  • Stationery
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
