Review on Marbrasse Upgraded Wooden Pencil Holder, Pen Organizer For Desk With 15 Compartments + Drawer, Desktop Stationary Storage Organizer Caddy, Easy Assembly (Black) by Lacueva Tranquillity

Saw these on Aliexpress a year or two ago and had them in my cart for ages, was pleased to see when they eventually filtered down to Ebay that they shipped domestically while remaining about the same price.Couple of things worth noting:1) The final build is definitely sturdy enough for its intended use, but because of how thin the MDF material is (far too thin to pre-drill a hole in, so there are just notches cut out instead), you will need to make sure you're screwing in everything at a perfect right angle to not have crooked screws or chips in the veneer. It was really kind of a pain in the butt to thread in the screws straight and I had to redo some of them multiple times. I like my stuff to look nice so I took the extra time to do so, and it will fit together very tightly if you do. You can even cover up the exposed screws if you have some wood grain contact paper lying around. It'd be nice if they had some matching stickers or screw caps included.2) Despite its size, it stores a lot more than you'd think. I bought this to store my growing collection of Copic Sketch markers, and a (significantly more bulky) plastic rack for artist markers costs anywhere between $20 to $30 to hold a 72 pack of markers. Meanwhile at $15 each there is easily enough room in each one for 100+ markers, with storage at the bottom to hold ink or spare nibs or whatever else you want to keep there.3) There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. I don't know what exactly you'd expect from the cheapest wooden desk organizer you can buy on Ebay, but I guess it's quite a lot. The dimensions are right there and the fact that you have to assemble it yourself is in the item description. It's good to get into the habit of *always* reading dimensions before you buy something, it really saves a lot of self-inflicted frustration in the long run.4) The wood veneer looks good for the price and is comparable to other self-assembly MDF furniture.5) The cell phone holders are a little silly for my taste, I used them to display photos/cards on my bookshelf, so consider that as a use before you toss them out.I'm happy with these and I might pick up more down the line. If you want a better value go to Home Depot and buy some 1/8" plywood and make yourself a more sturdy one to whatever dimensions you want, otherwise for anything close to wood at this price range this is as good as it's gonna get.
