It's so much easier to manage loose papers when you have a container in which to hold them. The letter-size tray is light and efficiently holds all the miscellany on top of my file cabinet. Things are not sliding around on there now cause they are "anchored" onto the tray. The little feet which the tray has to secure it to any surface are a big help also. Nothing is getting knocked off and since it is transparent I can see what's there and find it more easily. Papers are still stacked but now they are neatly stacked.
I purchased several staples wire-formed letter size tray color black for my classroom for a project that I was doing with my students. I feel the product itself is excellent. It is durable which is important to me since I do not like to have to repurchase items for my classroom. The only problem that I had with the product was the price. I thought the price was a little to high for a paper basket. I purchased it though because of the convenience and did not want to have to go to another store to purchase it.
I purchased the tray to use for incoming mail until it is sorted into the appropriate category for our businesses. As we have multiple pieces of mail coming in daily it is imperative that the office desk stays organized. This desk will assist in preventing incoming mail from being randomly tossed on the desk.
