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.
