The Comix Mesh Pen Holder is a 3-compartment utility caddy made from powder-coated steel wire mesh. The cross-hatch pattern is designed to provide rigidity while keeping the unit lightweight and easy to move. The 3-compartment layout acts as internal bracing, which helps the caddy maintain its shape even when it's filled with heavier metal items like rulers or large scissors.
Durability and Maintenance
The powder coating is built to handle the daily wear and tear of a home office, though it can show signs of chipping if metal clips are frequently clamped onto the rim. A key advantage of the mesh floor is that it prevents the buildup of dust and pencil shavings that often accumulate at the bottom of solid plastic cups. To keep it clean, a quick spray of canned air or a wipe with a damp cloth is all that's required.
Because the unit is relatively light, it is most stable when the weight is distributed between the three compartments. If you place heavy tools in just one outer section, the unit may tilt. The mesh provides 360-degree visibility, so you can always see exactly what is at the bottom of the bin. For long-term care, it's best to avoid submerging the unit in water to protect the weld points from moisture.
The reinforced rim weld is designed to prevent sharp metal snags, making it a reliable choice for high-frequency use.
For a sleeker, clear aesthetic without the mesh look, you may be interested in the NIUBEE 4-compartment acrylic holder.
