Was just as expectedI really liked it! I love the look and how sturdy it is.I needed something small for my desk area to store my pens, highlighters, and loose paper. This is perfect for that and it holds quite a bit. I'm very happy with it.I bought this for my daughter to contain some of her school supplies on my desk so its not spread out all over. Its the perfect size for the handful of pencils, markers, sticky notes and notebooks that used to be scattered all over and now is neatly contained where its readily accessible to her. As a bonus its a decently thick metal so I have her magnetic whiteboard eraser magnetized to the side. Im really pleased with how sturdy it is, how much stuff I am able to put in it, and how visually pleasing it is to look at. Very happy with this purchase!Its cute, pretty, useful and sturdy. I love it!Very nice desk organizer w/ plenty of storage. I bought a different brand set with the same pattern, color shade is off ever-so-slightly from this one, hard to tell from a distance. You certainly won't find anything like it @ your local office supply stores!Perfect love itAs described! Color is nice and it’s so cute on my desk. The compartments make what I need easy to store within reach of my computer. Would definitely recommend ?My wife loves it first off its purple, and then it holds everything just the way she likes it ,....a little pricey in my opinion but also a sturdy well made pieceParfait
