This thing is a piece of junk and the description is miss leading! In the description it says it's plastic and sturdy! This product is not plastic not one piece of plastic in the whole thing! This shelf is a bunch of folded cardboard! Yes Cardboard! This doesnt hold anything! I have a business and I needed quick shelving that I can take up and down for vender events and waited way too long before opening this and now don't have time to get what I need even with 2 day shipping! I am completely upset and mad!

These unfortunately did not hold up through 2 years even. The first year I noticed some wear on the right side, it started to sag. 2 months into the second year the right side was almost unusable... had to be replaced. Bought some that had a hard wood frame and cardboard dividers. Don't waste your money on these.

I received this in time and didn't want to write a comment until it was set up. It was for my mom who teaches a class and needed a good paper holder for her students. The instructions were simple to follow and the sturdy is very supportive. This looks taller on here than it is in reality but it is worth the buy if you don't want to pay extra for the wood ones. In any case for a cheap quick fix this IS absolutely worth it. I told my mom if she wanted, she could easily make a plastic covering around it, so nothing damages it. We all know how children can be. her and I are very pleased with the results.

Con: my only concern was some of the tabs that interlock to keep it sturdy weren't there. (not the name tags but the parts where it sticks out more to hold it in places and through slots.) That or they were just cut off in the process of making it so it would fit right.

All in all it is still very sturdy. and worth the money for a cheap fix. I might get one for myself once I can get my room done.

I'm a freelance Graphic Designer who works out of a home office. I bought two of these shelf systems a year ago to organize my paper collection. LOVE THEM. They arrived flat, were simple to put together, and are still very sturdy even after a year of use. I keep them right on my desk. One has 8 reams of cardstock and the other has 6 reams of paper. The other slots are filled with packages of Avery labels, sample paper packs, transparencies, half packs, etc. Paper-sized stuff, you get it.

My only criticism is the price. This is cardboard! You assemble it yourself. Nothing about this should cost more than ten dollars. I bought a 6-shelf unit at a local store during back-to-school season that cost only six dollars!

So it's overpriced, yes, but worth it to solve my organization problem.

As I was assembling the unit everything seemed fine until I realized I was missing a whole shelf. The unit is suppose to have 9 horizontal shelf dividers but mine only had 8 which only allowed for 27 slots. I was able to use one of the shelves as a stencil and cut out another shelf out of the shipping box but obviously the colors don't match. $40+ for a bunch of cardboard is not worth paying the extra shipping to return it. I would give this 5 stars if Pacon Corp. could send out another self and if the unit were a little cheaper.

Update: Pacon sent out a replacement self directly to my house at no extra charge! It's nice to see a company being so responsive.
