Pendaflex Portable Desktop File, Side Handles, Hanging File Folders, Tabs & Inserts, Letter Size, 9-1/2 x 12-3/16 x 6 Inches, Black (23013)

I really like these desktop file bins for organizing my hanging files. Whenever I tried the bar-type contraptions for converting a file drawer to use hanging files, they would end up bending and warping. These bins work much better to support the hanging files! They are the perfect size and make organizing file drawers a breeze. I can take them in and out of the drawer easily if I just want to work on one section of my filing at a time – and sit at my desk as I work instead of standing and standing (and standing some more!) in front of the file cabinet. They don't fit in my file drawer with the long side facing frontward. I have to put them in sideways: I can fit four of them in each drawer that way. It bothered me until I discovered a hidden advantage! It's much easier to access a file drawer from the side then it is from the front. I always drop a book or a pack of labels or something between the two bins in the front and the two bins in the back to keep about half an inch or so of space between them. Otherwise the hanging files tend to get hooked onto the wrong bins, which makes it hard to get either a bin or an individual file out of the drawer. I usually purchase these bins one or two at a time, as I make progress on my filing project. I also keep a bin on my desk for active projects and handling mail, a couple of bins with my cookbooks to hold recipe pamphlets, and a bunch more that I stand up on end on my bookshelves to hold current magazines, pocket folders, thin craft-work books, and so on. I have recommended them to family members who use them and have also given them as gifts to friends. Although I will be buying my own hanging folders (I would like them to be colorful, not just color-coded) the bins did come with hanging folders to get me started. These fit the bill in so many ways!

This is a good quality, sturdy file organizer! I use these in my classroom and I stuff them full of hanging files. It was nice that this came with a few hanging files already too.This is the perfect size. It doesn’t take up a lot of room and I can fit 5 of them easily on my book shelf!

Great for storing/filing in a smaller space

I've had one of these for years. Very sturdy, very handy. I'm not sure why a brand new one is almost $25. Yikes! So when I needed another one, I got a returned one from the Amazon Warehouse and saved about $9. So I was happy about that.What I didn't like was that the Warehouse sticker and the adhesive used to attach the plastic wrap to the desktop file was almost impossible to get off, even using WD40. I left one big blob of it on because it was so sticky and I just turned the file around and made that the back so hopefully I won't see it and be reminded how ridiculous it all was. The Warehouse sticker was almost as bad. That adhesive part was a huge disappointment. Do better, Amazon.

After moving and downsizing I needed to clean up some of my files. The holder worked perfectly for the ones I needed to keep active.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The size, shape, and weight were right for me. Good price.

Fits in the drawer perfectly so I can hang my pentaflex files in it

Everything about these folder holders is great, if you don’t care about paying extra for them. They come with about 5 black hanging files and plastic tabs. I would prefer that the cardboard part of the tabs was more generous as my categories change a lot. I appreciate that the plastic holder has like a geometric “U” shape on each long side so that I can reach into a file folder easily. These folder holders sit sturdily on my rolling cart.
