This works perfectly for me to organize the folders that I use often in my classroom.THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I EVER BOUGHT FOR MY TINY LITTLE OFFICE SPACE IN MY BEDROOM. HOLDS AS MANY AS 20-25 8 1/2 X 11" FILE FOLDERS DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF CONTENTS PER FOLDER BUT IT TAKES UP NO SPACE AT ALL EXCEPT ON THE WALL, SO I DON'T KEEP BUMPING INTO IT WHERE IT STICKS OUT FROM THE WALL LIKE THE PLASTIC ONES WHICH BREAK WITH THE SLIGHEST BUMP OF MY CHAIR AND COST A WHOLE LOT MORE AND HOLD A WHOLE LOT LESS. i BOUGHT TWO OF THEM AND THEY WORK SO WELL TO ORGANIZE MY WORK FILES, THE ONES I REFER TO EVERY DAY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WITH SPACE ISSUES WHO WANTS THEIR WORK CLOSE BY BUT DOESN'T HAVE ROOM ON THEIR DESK OR ROOM FOR A FILE CABINET AND WHO DOESN'T MIND A LITTLE BRIGHT BLUE OR RED FILING SYSTEM! THEY WERE MEANT FOR USE IN CLASSROOMS BUT WORK REALLY WELL FOR A SMALL OFFICE SPACE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD DESIGN SOME FOR HOME OFFICES, NOT JUST CLASSROOMS, IN MORE CONSERVATIVE COLORS.Although, yes, the material is cheap (I think it is reasonably priced) the functionality of it still allows for variety of organization.My recommendation is to get darker colored nail tacks from Orchard Supply and this way the Organizer stays flush with the wall rather than sagging. If you hate putting holes in the wall, the sticky adhesive may do the trick but not as wall as the nail tacks)Great for all sorts of things, I put in clipboards and it helps me clear my desk. I also ordered more of these because its another way to store colored paper.I am grateful they had these in black because it goes better with all the colors and design clipboard I put in.Thanks for making these! I wish they had them when I was in school but am loving them now.A teacher's day is long and there is a lot of paper coming in and going out. I picked this up out of desperation, frankly. So glad I did.I have two folders for each class - work that needs to be graded and work for missing students. When a kid is absent, I take the work and put it in the MIA folder. When I collect work to be graded, it goes in the appropriate 'to be graded' folder. When I am leaving for duty or prep (someone uses my room during prep), I can grab the folders and have the work I need to grade.The material is heavy duty ripstop nylon and I hold it to an unused blackboard using 3M heavy duty hangers. It's working aces.I love this "hanging file cabinet"! I'm a middle school teacher, and as the school day rolls on, and groups of kids enter and leave my room, my desk becomes a scrapyard of paper, books, and files. I love having a place to put papers that's within easy reach and doesn't add to the clutter on my desk. I have it hanging right next to my whiteboard, behind the podium I use for my teacher editions (most classroom walls easily accept stickpins and tacks, and there are three holes ringed in brass at the top to accommodate them).I use this hanging chart for papers I want immediate access to - the weekly spelling worksheet (before I distribute it, and extras for those who lose them after), any new handouts, and right now, all the back to school handouts I distributed the first week. (When we get a new student I usually have to scramble to locate those.)I showed it to the other middle school English teacher at my school, and she wants one - I told her where to get it, and at $10 it is a very good value.This one's a keeper. :)I needed something to keep all the kids' school forms and paperwork off my dining room table, and this worked well for that. I hung it on the interior of our coat closet with some temporary hooks, and now I have an "organization station" that is tucked neatly out of sight.These storage pockets can fit quite a bit. I unloaded a box of 50 envelopes into one pocket, my date calendar and notepad into another, and used the rest for kids' paperwork, magazine clippings, articles I want to keep for just a little while, miscellaneous coupons that come in the mail, etc.. (all the stuff that doesn't have a "home"), plus home project files I like to have at my fingertips. So far, I've only filled up half of the organizer!Really glad I purchased this.The build quality of the hanging file is pretty good. I can tell the material is durable and holds together well. The pockets have adequate room for most uses, but standard pieces of paper will bow over top heavy over time unless you lay them on their side (long ways). There are three holes in the top of the folder which provides hanging options and the holes are reinforced with metal - nice touch there.Con: some folds remained in the item due to being folded during shipping. Hopefully, these fold creases will disappear after the item hangs for a while.I am sure this would work wonderfully for teachers but I have used it within my home to organize mail, paper, and bills. Most of the pockets are pretty deep. The top pocket is not so it is a good place to store receipts for filing. For most of the pockets, I use folders in order to easily remove all the papers associated with the pocket in one easy movement. I pin the unit on the back of a door so it doesn't take up primary wall space. I really like it and would recommend it to those who have a lot of paper that they need to process.I LOVE this organiser. It has helped me to become a much more organised person in my classroom.Sticks into the wall easily with pins and is large and sturdy enough to hold many items.I do wish that the coloured folders had been included as from the photograph it looked like they were but overall very happy.I’m so glad I found this! I almost gave up trying to find it because the only one’s I could find had to come from the USA (the SMEAD one). It is very useful, better than I expected and certainly worth the price.As a classroom teacher the papers keep on piling up, this is superstrong, I have stapled it to one of my walls in my classroom, it holds many papers a must. Other teachers have looked at this and want it too!I bought this for all the paperwork the kids bring home from school, clubs, etc, and for homework. Pinned to the back of the door, it saves the mess on the kitchen table. Well made and strong enough to take heaps of documents.It is just perfect to keep your papers organised behind the door or on a bookshelves side. Highly recommended for teachers or people who handles awful amounts of paper every day!
