Kmart Desk Side Tray

I hesitated a bit to busy this sliding mesh under-desk drawer unit as I thought it wouldn't work with my Ikea desk tabletop. I'm glad that I bought it. It's extremely affordable and very practical. It has different compartments in different sizes, which are perfect to store different kinds of stationery. I have a good deal of pencils, biros, fountain pens, markers, erasers, sharpeners, sticky notes, small pen drives and scissors, and other small goodies inside. The biggest letdown is the rotating screws system, as they 're made of OK plastic and they need to be readjusted now and them, as they don't hold too tight due to being plastic. The back small compartments are a bit difficult to reach, so I put there things that I don't use often. 

MIND

It cannot be used outdoors, but who would use this outdoors?!

Kmart 1 Drawer Wide Mesh Organiser

This light drawer is perfect for my office storage needs, but it can be used to organise a wardrobe or a kitchen cupboard as it's very roomy and you can put tons of stuff in it. 

 I have three of these stacked under my work desktop. I could have put a fourth one, but I have an Ikea square container of the same size on top, which I use as rubbish bin. The result is really neat and I have so much stuff put out of the freaking way. It makes the perfect under-desk unit because I can move this "unit" easily and I can put tons of stuff in it. I wish I could put castors to them, because it's perfect otherwise. You could use two of the Kmart small rectangular organised on top of this unit and compartmentalise the space better.   

The main downside is the rolling system, as the rails on which the baskets roll over are not shaped as well as they should and, sometimes, the baskets derail and get stuck, so I have to manually put them back on track. This isn't a big hassle at all, as this only happens sometimes, but it's a designer flaw and the baskets aren't that cheap. For the rest, the handles are very neat, but it would have been better if they protruded a bit so that usage is easier.
