Great stacking baskets

I took someone's advice to super glue them together so they don't fall apart when I take them out of the top basket. Many reviews said they needed extra pegs to stack extra baskets on top of the original three. I had plenty of extra pegs so I could add another basket on top if I wanted. Exactly what I was looking for! A stack of printer paper fits on it.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • unreliable

Measurements are wrong!

I specially ordered this product to fit under a shelf on my desk. The dimensions given are completely wrong and do not correspond to my ideas. None of them match the actual dimensions of the product. The dimensions listed with the product on the Revain website are 5.8 x 10.5 x 14.5 inches. Actual dimensions are approximately 8.125 x 9.25 x 12 inches. Otherwise it looks like a good product.

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Disappears

GOOD PRICE good for desk accessories and workspace organizers

Good mesh shelves at a reasonable price. I have two sentences. One behind the doors under the printer to store paper, and another set under the bottom of the cabinets to allow quick access to files that are in use. I have a very small workspace at the end of the kitchen counter in our apartment, so saving space is important. I super glued the support posts to the trays and made a bracket to attach them to the bottom of the cabinet. See photo.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was some

Attractive but fails the test

If you're looking around and are currently tempted to buy a slightly cheaper set of plastic shells, don't. They are well designed with nice clean edges and strong posts to hold them together. Baskets are slightly taller than regular metal trays, making them both beautiful and useful. In comparison, an entire stack of unopened paper can be placed in each tray. Updated 11/05/2013: I love that they are metal - MUCH better than the plastic ones but I gave up on using them due to the design. Defect.

Pros
  • Permanent test result
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Pins between tiers

I love this product except my purchase less than a year ago is almost useless unless the manufacturer/seller can provide me with tiny pins that fit between tiers. I was looking for a way to contact the seller but couldn't find it. Excuse me. So the little pins between the levels are very loose and if you just hit them wrong they will fall apart. It's a little uncomfortable, but not as bad as the fact that the pens are constantly getting behind my workstation into the 1/2 inch space between my…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Safety

Good trays but need to add connecting rods

Very nice. My main complaint is that they connect with small plastic rods that are easy to lose or break and don't give you any extras. I estimate they cost less than $0.01 per rod. I bought two sets of these to stack high for six (which I still would happily do). Unfortunately the 4 extra plastic sticks you need to stack the two sets on top of each other are not included. It seems very short-sighted on the part of the manufacturer simply not to include 4-6 additional plastic rods with every…

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Great for storing my external USB 3.0 hard drives!

Having multiple USB 3.0 external hard drives, I was wondering how I could safely stack them on top of each other to save space and still have good airflow or ventilation between them. That's when I got the idea to buy and use this product. I bought two of these sets (three trays each) and they did a great job of solving my dilemma. The great thing about them for the purpose I use them for is the metal shield which helps the airflow and ventilation process of the external drives I use inside…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
