The MyGift Concrete Desktop Set offers significant weight and stability for organizers who struggle with lightweight cups tipping over. Each piece in this three-piece set is made of solid-cast cementitious composite, providing a low center of gravity that makes it virtually impossible for tall pencils or heavy shears to cause a tip-over. The tri-tone geometric shapes allow for a modular setup where items can be grouped by height or frequency of use.
Specifications indicate wall thicknesses between 0.4 and 0.6 inches, which provides excellent compressive strength. However, cast concrete is a brittle material; while it is sturdy on the desk, it can crack if dropped onto a hard floor. Users should also inspect the bottom foam pads upon arrival to ensure they are centered, as raw concrete edges can cause scratches on delicate wood or glass surfaces if the padding is misaligned.
Because concrete is naturally porous, it is designed to be used in dry environments. If ink leaks inside, it may be absorbed into the material and cause permanent staining. The material is completely resistant to UV exposure, so it will not yellow or degrade if placed in direct sunlight near a window. Some minor "dusting" of the cement may occur during the first week of use, which can be managed with a simple initial wipe-down.
If you require a storage solution that is softer to the touch and easier to clean, the YOSCO silicone holder may be a suitable alternative.
