Ikea Kvissle 5 Shelve Metal Wall Magazine File Rack, White

This really helped us organize the clutter that was on our table. We put it in out dining room and it matches great with our white trim. And now I have a place to put things that is close by instead of going back to the filing cabinet on the other side of the house. Plus now my wife knows where to put bills when the come in and I know exactly where to look for them. My wife has a label maker and we labeled some magnetic strips and put the labels on magnets so it is versatile if our filing habits need to change.

After a long search, we replaced our wall hanging file in our kitchen with this rack. We are very pleased with the results. Each section is separate and attaches to the one below it with tabs. It is well made and strong. Since it is our "office" in the kitchen, my husband attached a wooden shelf on the top for sticky papers and other such necessities. One of the benefits of the rack is that we didn't have to paint it to match the wall!

The only negative is how hard it is to separate the bins. We used a screw driver to gently "walk" the pieces apart. The bins are easy to put together and hang on the wall. The strength is on par with wood bins, but about a 1/3 of the price. The white color blends nicely with our white walls.

I use this as a mail organizer. Aside from the hard to assemble flimsy brackets that break when you apply the needed pressure to attach each tier. My main issue is the holes at the bottom of each pocket that the mail falls through. Also since it does not sit flush to the wall mail will also fall behind the entire assembly.

I bought this on Amazon because I live in Hawaii and we don't have an Ikea here. I like it because it is very simple and clean looking. It makes my home office look really organized. The only reason for the one star knock was due to the unpacking. This product comes disassembled and each holder is shoved into the other to make it compacted for shipping. Think of a stack of plastic cups, this is how it comes. I'm not sure if it got super compacted with the shipping, but it was very difficult to pull them apart for assembly. Each magazine holder is made of thin painted metal, so there was a little bit of warping due trying to pry each holder apart. I did bend them back, and they are almost perfectly straight. You wouldn't be able to tell it was warped unless you were intentionally looking for it. Other than that it does what it is suppose to do and it looks great!

I'm giving this 2 stars because once this was delivered, IKEA is only charging 16.99 for the same set. Double check prices this company is charging too much. Other than that, they are metal and IKEA quality. They can't be broke up unless there is brackets. So I have to make a trip to IKEA, which is what I was trying to avoid and the whole reason I used Amazon.

I added this "command center" to my kitchen to help with household paper clutter. I gave each person a slot with a folder and their name. When mail comes in- it goes in the recycle or one of the slots. I also made a "to be paid" bills section. It's slim and sleek profile is perfect!

This item was damaged in the packing process. They send them nested inside one another, unfortunately this causes the first one to become bent and scratched. It also requires the assistance of a bodybuilder to get all of the pieces"un-nested". So if you are considering this item for looks, it might not be worth the risk. As far as function, once I got it taken apart and assembled it does function ok. With the exception of the top bin, though, all the other bins aren't able to hold more than a spiral notebook because of the partially nested design.
