Storage Studios Easy Access Paper Holder with 3-Slots, 9.5 x 13.5 x 14.5 Inches, Black (CH92579)

Sturdy and holds paper well. No instructions on how to put together and some of the slots were not cut thru. I used a box cutter to get them to work.

Anyone who's looked into storing their craft paper knows it's really hard to find affordable paper storage. This storage option is cheaply made and absolutely, 100% overpriced. I paid $30 for this and, while I don't recall selecting a warehouse deal, it came with a warehouse sticker. It's just thin plastic panels that make a box with dividers. It shouldn't cost $30-40 but it's better than nothing or paying many times more for fancy IKEA storage hacks or rolling drawer carts.Assembly does suck. One of the bigger pieces came cracked along one of the inner channels but I managed to assemble it without breaking it further. I considered using some sort of lubricant but didn't because I was scared of any residue getting on my paper. I found the easiest way to get the 2nd piece on was to brace the piece against me, grab the outside dividers and pull them towards me as far as they'll go (maybe an inch or so) and then pull the two middle ones to catch them up. It took forever, but it eventually worked.It holds a lot of paper and it's also big enough to hold my Cricut mats. There's probably 250-300 sheets of 8.5x11 paper in each section with room for 3 12x12 pads on one side and the cricut mats on the other.Improvements I'd like to see would be more substantial panels and maybe even solid dividers. When the holder is as full as it is, putting sheets in near the dividers creates potential for snagging and bending because the corners catch on the holes.All in all, I like it. I like it better than resorting to an accordian folder box for my letter sized sheets. I like it better than the $10 12x12 paper bag I purchased at the same time. I like it better than buying a cardboard classroom keeper or magazine holder. For the price, it's the best you can do.

We use this to store rolled vinyl. Works well. Somewhat difficult to assemble.

Need to list "steak knife" as a required tool for assembly. This item comes in 7 pieces, with 3 solid panels and 4 dividers. The dividers are meant to slide into the runners on the panels, but it was a gigantic nightmare to get them to slide all at once. I was pushing with all of my force, and then the other side would pop out of the panel I'd already slid it into. I would get a panel halfway slid on, and then it would get totally stuck and I would have to strain to pry it off and start all over. I eventually had to take a steak knife and try to slice off part of the inside of the runners to make more space so it wasn't such a tight fit (pieces of plastic were in the way inside the runners), and even then, it was difficult to slide on. My palms have red lines on them from pushing so hard on the dividers and my palms still hurt. I eventually triumphed but I fear that every time I look at this stupid piece of plastic the memories will come flooding back and I'll get angry all over again.

This product does what you think it does once it is assembled and does it nicely. You can flip it around to act more like a file box (i.e., retrieving the paper from the top rather than side). I desperately needed something to help organize my 12x12 paper in my craft room so this review is coming from a desperate and captive audience. The holder comes in a flat box and you must assemble it yourself. So, be warned that this product is budget and you might want to commit a capital crime out of the rage and frustration you will experience in assembling the blasted things. I tried putting one together and getting the back piece on correctly took an act of congress. And a rubber mallet. And screaming. At first I thought there was a flaw in this particular one (everything else seemed to slide in nicely). But I bought 3 of them and all 3 had the same problem: sliding the two middle dividers into the back piece was nearly impossible. I cracked two of the dividers trying. Since these were inexpensive, and I NEEDED the organization badly, I wasn't motivated enough to send them back and my frustration turned into sheer determination (and indignation). I suggest putting the back pieces on first (which is one or two steps out of order per the instructions) because those pieces are incredibly difficult. You may want to use a rubber mallet - a hammer might be too rough on the plastic). Once you succeed (if you do at all) -- the balance of the holder will fit together just fine even though you have done it out of order.

First, I totally love these paper holders! They are sturdy, look extremely nice on my storage unit and excellent storage and accessibility of my cardstock. I have several of them and highly recommend them. I must thank secret monkey's post in suggesting some chapstick on the slide-in rails! Just a very small amount will do. Put some on my finger and slid along the rails. This is the first time I assembled the unit in a couple of minutes. Just carefully look at and follow the included small instruction sheet. Assembly went so quick. I amazed myself! These, again, are excellent storage units and highly recommend them!
