2 Tier Wood File Organizer, Desk Paper Sorter, Black

Two open tiers in black wood, deep enough for letter paper, folders and mail without anything curling over the front edge. The top is flat and rated to take a monitor, a printer or a scanner, so the tray costs no surface at all: it lifts a screen to a better height and files the paper underneath at the same time. Non slip pads on the base stop it sliding when a drawer of paper is pulled out of it. One shelf lifts out if a taller stack needs the full opening, and it assembles in a few minutes with the hardware included.

Why we picked it

The paper pile on a desk is rarely about having too much paper. It is about the pile having nowhere to be, so it gets moved from one side to the other for weeks. Two open tiers give it a place without hiding it, which is what keeps it from being forgotten. The flat top is what makes this worth the footprint: a monitor sits on it, so the tray costs no surface at all and lifts the screen to a better height at the same time.
