The Samstar Desk File Organizer is a functional solution for optimizing vertical space on a desktop. Its design utilizes a combination of three horizontal trays and two vertical sections, which helps keep folders upright and prevents the common issue of documents sliding or bending. Tests show that the powder-coated carbon steel mesh is best suited for standard paper-weight loads, typically supporting about 5 to 7 lbs per tray.
Specifications indicate that the frame is held together by a tension-fit screw system. This provides a stable base, though it is important to avoid over-tightening during initial assembly to prevent the frame from leaning. The vertical sections are integrated directly into the base frame, which provides solid support for heavier items like binders or thick folders compared to models with detachable parts.
- The hybrid geometry allows for the separation of loose papers from larger notebooks or folders.
- Anti-slip feet are designed to maintain the unit's position on wood or laminate surfaces.
- The matte black finish helps the unit remain visually clean by resisting fingerprint oils.
While the mesh is durable for daily office tasks, sustained weight from very heavy items may lead to slight bowing of the middle trays over several months. To ensure the smoothest operation, it is helpful to loosely assemble the frame first, slide the trays in to verify alignment, and then tighten the screws fully.
To prevent a skewed chassis, align all sliding components before applying final torque to the assembly screws.
If you require a more compact sorting solution without the horizontal trays, you may want to consider the Easepres Vertical Mail Sorter as a space-saving alternative.
This unit is a helpful addition for anyone looking to refine their workspace through the use of mesh desktop organizers.
