This pair of silver mesh trays provides a straightforward way to expand your desktop storage vertically. Each tray is made from cold-rolled carbon steel mesh, offering a clean look that fits most home offices. Because these trays use a flared-leg design to sit on top of one another, they rely on the weight of your papers to stay in place rather than using snaps or clips.
The mesh design is practical for keeping visibility high, allowing you to see exactly which documents are in which tray. While the steel is sturdy enough for standard stacks of printer paper, placing very heavy items like a full stapler in the middle of a tray may cause the mesh to bow slightly over time. To ensure the stack stays aligned if it is bumped, some users find it helpful to place the unit against a wall or a desk hutch.
Specifications show these trays are 13.5 inches long, which is ample room for manila folders and standard 8.5 by 11 inch paper. The silver coating is applied to help prevent rust, though it is best to avoid sliding the units against each other frequently to keep the finish looking new at the contact points.
- Designed for quick setup with no assembly required; simply stack them and they are ready for use.
- The open mesh floor helps prevent the "dust bunnies" that often collect in the corners of solid plastic trays.
- If you plan to stack more than two units, placing a small non-slip grip under the bottom feet can help keep the entire tower secure.
For those who prefer a more natural look for a living room or bedroom office, the Fasmov wood letter trays offer a similar stacking function with a warmer aesthetic.
