It’s not always easy to choose the perfect fit for your office storage needs. Sometimes you may need a desk unit, and other times you may want something that can be secured to a wall.
Luckily there is a solution that’s somewhere between the two. There are office organizers that are specifically designed to serve as both desk units and wall units. Why make a choice between the two if you don’t have to?
This article will focus on the Seville Classics 6-Tray Office Vertical Organizer. It has dual mounting options and a durability that will surprise you.
The Seville Classics Office Vertical Organizer has dimensions of 12.8” x 9.25” x 15.8”. You can place it on your desk or mount it to a wall. It’s versatile and stable and will prove highly useful in your home or work office.
If you have room on your desk for an organizer and you handle a lot of paperwork on a daily basis, this might just be the one for you. It can also help you out if you lack desk space, as you can just as easily mount it on the wall.
However, it’s not the best choice if you want to organize more than just stationery. The angled trays are designed for documents and not heavy desk supplies.
You’ll need you own tools to mount the organizer on the wall. The package does not include any screws for wall-mounting, just the wire hanger.
The bottom tray is flat and comes with plenty of vertical space should you need to store books or thick folders on it. It can also hold some of your smaller desk supplies.
The other five trays are at an angle which makes for better accessibility when you’re looking for your files. The upward angle should also give you better visibility. If the light in your office is often too bright, you won’t have to worry about your ability to read labels if you have this organizer.
The rubber feet give the unit better stability while at the same time protecting your desk from potential scratching. In case you’re short on desk space, you can use the wire hanger to mount the organizer on your wall.
The coating is a platinum epoxy powder-coated finish. This is quite resistant to scratches so the organizer should hold up well even in a high traffic office. The industrial-strength steel wire mesh is very durable and guarantees that the organizer will last you a long time.
The one minor downside is the size. This Seville Classics model does not accommodate legal-sized folders and documents. It also doesn’t have the highest weight capacity compared to similar vertical organizers.
There are two ways in which you can use the Seville Classics Vertical Organizer. First you can choose to set it on your desk for organizing the stationery that you need on a daily basis, which can also include your desk supplies.
If you lack desk space, you can use the wire hangar to mount the organizer on the wall. However, you might not want to stack the bottom tray with heavy desk supplies if you go for the wall-mounted solution.
Furthermore, keep in mind that you might need additional screws and hangers to make the vertical organizer feel as balanced and sturdy on the wall as it is on a desk.
If you need something a bit bigger for your legal papers, we have an alternative choice for that. The only thing is that this one costs a bit more. This legal-sized model is also by Seville Classics and has five front-loading angled trays. It’s also capable of acting as a desk unit or a wall unit, depending on your needs.
The size of 16” x 9.25” x 17” will hold a lot more stationery and it can accommodate all types of papers. It’s made of the same industrial-strength steel wire mesh except this bigger model can also handle some extra weight. The assembly process is just as simple, so if you have the room it may be a better choice for your office.
At the end of the day, having extra storage space is never a bad thing. Choosing between the two models will come down to finances, office space, and specific filing needs. The good news is that both products are as high-end as it gets.
The Seville Classics 6-Tray Office Vertical Organizer is an interesting choice. It doesn’t come at a premium price which is surprising considering the quality of the frame. Six trays give you plenty of vertical storage space and the angled design offers good accessibility when putting folders in or taking them out.
Finally, the dual mounting option makes the unit quite versatile. This adds to the appeal of this organizer which already offers good value for the money.
