Awesome Mailbox
Super easy to put together, did it in under 30 minutes. So much more sturdy with the wood outer structure than my previous all cardboard mailbox. Interior shelves are thick cardboard. Very happy with purchase. Looks clean and sharp in the office.

Not Very Professional
This unit looks alright, but is simply cardboard and plastic. I think that for most applications this will not last long enough. Might be better to spend a few more bucks and get a real one.

Poor Quality
Poor quality. Cardboard shelves are not ideal. The frame is not sturdy at all, constantly leans to one side or the other. $144.09 for majority cardboard.

Response from Staples :
Hi Morgan. We are sorry you are having difficulty with the assembly, and you are not pleased with the product. The frame should be assembled using the dowel posts and glue provided and allowed to dry prior to installing the shelving. Once the backing is nailed on, the corrugated shelving is installed, and the plastic label channels attached to the front, each compartment is designed to hold up to 5 lbs. If you need assistance or feel the literature sorter you received is defective, please reach out to customer service for assistance. We are here to help you!

Don't buy
The particle board only makes up the frame. The rest, including the shelves, are flimsy cardboard. Tiny nails and thin cardboard makes up the back of the piece.

Response from Fellowes Expert :
Hi Grace. We are sorry you are less than pleased with the literature sorter! Once assembled fully, each compartment is capable of holding up to 5 lbs. so we think you will find it to be a sturdy product.

Big Mistake!
This organizer is the cheapest and most poorly designed item I have ever bought. Although the shelves, dividers, and backing are all cardboard the frame does not hold the inserts for shelving. Big mistake choosing this organizer. I expected a more from Fellowes.

The furniture is poorly made. I was surprised to discover the shelving was cardboard. I'll be returning it.

Fills the need...but a little flimsy
Apparently these organizers are hard to come by. I ordered a smaller one from another store, but the delivery was botched. So ordered this one. Easy to put together (but requires 6 hours for glue to dry before you can finish the task.) My main complaint is that the inside shelves are just doubled over cardboard and if you don't get them placed exactly, the shelves on th...

stinks
Wow I usally always get good products from staples, Not this time! This item is just, bad. It is mostly made of cardboard and even the card board is poor quality. It was very difficult to assemble and to note I own a auto repair station.
I strongly suggest to Not buy this product.

cardboard
Way expensive for the quality you get. It has wood sides, cardboard back, and all cardboard shelves. It is not even put together with screws, wood dowels and glue. I am returning the 2 I just got.

not what expected
shelves and shelf supports are cardboard not "fiberboard"
not very sturdy
hard to put together solidly, we added extra screws to the top corners to hold it together better
did not return it simply because the need was immediate and we had already returned one that was too small

Compartment Organizer
This was not at all what I expected. It did not go together well. The glue that came with it was useless it did not hold. There was slight damage However I kept this one because I already had to return the first one due to excessive damage

Don't get
Complete waste of money and will fall apart in minutes.
Don't buy. It is made of cardboard and can't stand on it's own accord.

Extremely disappointed
This was the second shelf unit that I purchased for use at the office. [...] was in good condition, but THE DIVIDERS ARE CORRUGATED CARDBOARD! I couldn't find anywhere in the product description where it indicates that part of the product is cardboard (and not very sturdy, at that!) I was definitely disappointed, and at this point am not sure if I am going to keep it. T...
