Transformed the way I file my family’s mail now we all have a place to put all incoming letters. Love it.

Arrived in new condition and no issues

We’re using this as a mail holder/sorter for the family because I am tired of people leaving their mail on the kitchen counters. Everyone in our home receives mail, and finding spots to leave it for each particular person is frustrating. Our kitchen is the galley style that was popular in the 60’s. Counterspace is seriously lacking, and having to sort out multiple piles of mail takes up valuable space. This file holder has the perfect number of slots, the perfect size of slots, and doesn’t take up a lot of space once installed. I looked at several wall file folder/mail holding units. Most had just three slots, which was too few. Or they had six or eight slots, which was too many and would only end up collecting junk which was NOT my goal. I didn’t want plastic since it’s too easily cracked, chipped, or broken. I also didn’t want something huge that took up several square feet or had ‘pockets’ with spaces between the wires which would allow mail or pens or other small items to fall out. I went with this one because it’s got one pocket for each family member, is super easy to install and comes with the hardware needed, it’s metal and sturdy, and the fine mesh keeps everything in place. Best of all, it’s one of the few metal versions with enough pockets I found for under $25.00.Installation took only a couple of minutes since I decided to use sticky hooks on the side of the fridge instead of drilling holes in the wall. Those 2″ square heavy duty sticky tabs that hold up to 13 pounds each are what I used. Worked perfectly with no mess or fuss. It’s too bad the company didn’t think to include this kind of installation option along with the screws and anchors. Double-sided heavy weight bearing foam tape might work, but you’d need to use a lot since this file holder isn’t light. I made labels for each pocket to identify which belongs to each person. This is another miss for the company in that they don’t provide any labels for the five pockets even though the holder has flat metal spots for labels to be placed.Now that it’s up, I’m happy with this solution to an annoying problem. No more misplaced mail, or piles of mail on the counter each day, or trying to keep the cats from yet again knocking mail off the counter.

I have been using this now for a couple of months and it has been holding up well. It was very easy to install, I actually used push pins to anchor it to the wall and it has been holding up great. The many compartments make it easier for me to stay organized. It also is very fashionable and looks good aesthetically. I give this a 5/5!

This is allowing for my kids to put their schoolwork in separate slots instead of just tossing it on the computer desk adding to my piles of paper on the desk. The mesh seems to be a little thin, but besides that we are putting it to the test. It was easy to hang on a wall and looks good.
