christielee7278 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Oh I like that!! I'm assuming by the description that the shelves inside are movable so bulky materials (or art suppies) would fit by just removing a shelf. Very interesting idea!!

proverbs356lady Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Do you mean the classroom keeper mailboxes? or the magazine files? I'm thinking about trying the magazine files. Looking forward to seeing everyones thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2cents Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I actually have something similar but had a problem with the shelves. They can be unstable and mine tended to collapse if they held unequally weighted items. Be sure to look at the average height of the section too because on mine they fit approx a ream of paper so notebooks and thick texts might be too big if you plan to use all 15 slots. If you don't need all 15 then you would have more room. On mine, the shelves sit on pegs but if they slide in on a groove it would be much better and you could avoid the tipping problem that I have with unequally weighted items. Mine kept collapsing so I have this now: http://www.1st-quality-school-supplies.com/12-drawer-mobile-organizer.html?zmam=5908402&zmas=4&zmac=28&zmap=12-drawer-mobile-organizer I never really did the workbox system. I just separate their subject areas into each drawer and they pull from the drawer. 2 girls = 6 drawers. Drawers: Math, Science, History, Language Arts, Language, Misc.

LadyAberlin Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Someone I know did the magazine files. She bought them from CLE It was like $20 for 25 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne in MN Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Looks great, my only concern would be how sturdy it is. It says it's made out of coruboard, which I'm guessing is corrugated cardboard that's formed in such away that it's sturdier than cardboard, but probably not as sturdy as wood? I'd look into that.
