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.

RISATORP Desk Organiser (White, 50x16x17 cm)

I was after this Risatorp desk organiser for months. First, it was a bit too pricey, then it wasn't delivered to my postcode. I was really excite when I was able to get it. 

 

I felt an immediate attraction towards this piece and design. The killer minimalist white epoxy and caramel bamboo colour combo, the mesh, the simplicity, the originality, the roundness, the floating legs. My eyes still spark when I look at it. 

 

It's longer and heavier than I expected or the product photos make you think. You'd need a long large desk for this organiser to look right on your desk. Otherwise, you might want to place it on the top of a shelf. The inside is compartmented, so this allows you to devote different spaces to different stuff.  I've put some of my crayons in recycled glass containers, a small pen holder with my most used markers and pencils, a small  square tissue box, a tiny tin box with my meds, hand cream, and a few other things, and there is still room for little items. 

Assembly was easy overall, but I had difficulty screwing one of the legs strait. 

DESIGNERS A-M Nilsson & A Wallgren.
