woodluv Large Bamboo Desktop File Sorter A4 Office Home Document Organiser Storage 8 Compartments, 49 x 31 x 25cm

After searching a few online sites for an A4 paper & card stock storage unit, i stumbled across this one by accident, via a link a friend had sent me for another item.I couldn't believe that it was the exact dimensions i required in order for it to fit on one of the shelves of my craft cupboard, and also, it was the same price as some of the single 4 & 5 shelving units i had been looking at. As it stated it was made from Bamboo, i knew it would be durable, but had no idea how much or how heavy it would be till it arrived.I didn't order through Amazon Prime, but the dispatch and delivery were pretty fast, and it actually arrived 2 days earlier than stated.It doesn't come with instructions, and needs a screwdriver, but is fairly easy to assemble.The unit feels like it has a thin coating on it, so would require sanding a bit in order for it to be painted, but it actually fits in pretty well with the colour of my cupboards as it is. The spacing of each shelf holds quite a few packs of A4 10pk card stock, which is really great.This side of my 2 large cupboards, where i have my crafting goods, looks much better now with this paper storage unit. I'm really happy that i found this.The only downside is that it doesn't appear to be available in a single 4 shelf unit, as that would fit perfectly next to this one on the shelf. Fingers crossed the Co' will make some, or i'll find a matching one somewhere else.I would definitely purchase this again if required.

Great little unit, which was relatively easy to assemble, although I started with a cheap screwdriver and had to retrieve my best one to get some grip on the (pretty poor) screws that were being driven into holes that weren't all perfectly aligned or drilled. It's ended up totally solid and finished reasonably well, although you can clearly see the screws on the top, and the edges don't fit properly flush - some are maybe 0.5mm out, so not huge, but not perfect either. If you're a carpenter, look elsewhere!The shelves are adequate and are of noticeably poorer quality than the rest of the unit. They also don't fix in, so if you lift the unit they will fall out. They seem to be solid enough though. Plus side of this is that you can take them out easily to clean or have some larger spaces. Anything A4 sized fits in these easily with a little space to spare.I have a laptop on top of mine, but it could easily take more weight such as a PC or monitor - the central shelf holder gives it plenty of rigidity.All in all a decent item, as described and very useful to tidy up my home office.

I have to confess that I did not assemble this item as I have Rheumatoid arthritis and consequently dexterity problems. However the young friend who did the assembly said it was a breeze. The unit is smart and attractive and houses all my card and stationary really well. I am really pleased with it.

No instructions but easy to figure out. It was one screw short but it built fine without it. Perfect for A4 card and paper, and is already full - I may need another one

When I opened up my package, I had not received any screws, and the picture instruction sheet shows no information on screw sizes. I bought some 30mm long screws that turned out to be both too long and too thick so I had to enlarge and lengthen the pilot holes for the screws. It took much longer to assemble because of this. The existing holes were also not properly lined up on one side, making it a struggle to slot the back panel piece in. I was able to reposition and angle the screws slightly to stop the shifting that was occuring.There was no contact information that I could find to ask the company for a partial refund. And after speaking to Amazon customer service who requested an invoice be sent to me for the email contact, the email was removed.However, once I finally was able to put the shelving unit together, it did appear to be quite sturdy. One of the shelves sticks at the back when putting it in and taking it out, but the others move smoothly enough.It looks quite nice, but the screws could do with some stickers or covers as they are definitely visible on the top (and the bottom, but of course, that isn't visible when it's set up). My screws were copper so aren't too obtrusive, but I believe the screws that should have come with the package are silver, so bear that in mind.As other reviews have mentioned, the shelves are MDF and the edges aren't finished off. That's not an issue at all for me, but you might want to purchase some lining if that will bother you. The back is also a different material; it feels like hardboard to me.It does seem as though it would be quite tough to assemble without a drill, even with all the required elements, so don't expect an Ikea-style assembly, but the sides do appear to be proper, thick bamboo and it is definitely more attractive that many paper sorters I've seen on the market.

I'm a stationery seller, i've been through a LOT of paper drawers, this is by far the best quality one i've tried, worth every penny as have paid much more for products that are of lesser quality. Sturdy, a little fiddly to assemble without a drill, but overall wouldn't buy any other brand now, have 2 already will probably end up buying enough to cover my previous 80 slot paper shelf as they stack nicely.

For £40 I would have expected it to come with screws. No instructions but easy enough to figure out. The product is good quality however the shelves let it down as they are not the same material. The front edge of the shelf is not finished (just mdf). The outside is strong, heavy and looks smart.

If you find Ikea furniture difficult to assemble then this will be impossible.Instructions are terrible. Pre-drilled holes don’t line up so impossible to get screws in.Appalling. Avoid. I would return but threw away the packing.
