Review on πŸ“š SONGMICS Bamboo File Organizer with 5 Adjustable Shelves and Top Storage Compartments - Natural UOFS44Y by Jennifer Franks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

More or less satisfactory, but could be better

After purchasing a bamboo table I found a bamboo organizer would be a good fit. (actually two). They look good and are worth the money in my opinion. One thing to note: 5 shelves is a bit of an exaggeration. There are eight storage compartments, but (i) the top compartment is useless because of the stationery holder - I've considered removing this but I'm afraid it might compromise structural integrity, and (ii) inserting shelves into adjacent compartments will You almost don't have enough space. However, many things could have been better. First, they could be made easily stackable. Second, the alignment of the screw holes isn't as precise as we'd like. Third, the bamboo surface is relatively low-friction, and due to the lack of a backing, the contact area between the organizer and the surface on which it rests is very limited. Therefore there is a tendency to slip. Rubber feet would be an obvious addition to prevent this from happening. Finally (and most annoyingly) there is a sticky label attached to one of the shelves. Nothing wrong with that other than the glue not peeling off. I didn't want to use solvent in case of damage, but it took several minutes of scrubbing to clean the surface. So in general everything is more or less satisfactory, but it could easily be better.
