mothergooseof4 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Best quality? Best price? Other options? I saw some at Marvel yesterday on sale but they seemed flimsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 They are flimsy. But, I've seen them at Target, Walmart, and Sam's club. Also Staples has them, but I think they're more expensive there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergooseof4 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Saw them today at Mardel and Joann's for $65. Went to Wal-mart, and they had them for $35. Wouldn't you know it, they had three. Just the number of kids I have. I have never been interested in workboxes, and have all of each kid's school stuff in a crate with a daily check list. My 10yo actually rolled one of these over to me yesterday saying that I should put math in one box, their current book in the next, then science. I told him to stop reading these forums! When we returned to the store today, all of the kids including the 13yo said it would help them keep their day more organized. So, now I know my weekend project.... Assembling all of those carts or perhaps we will have "mechanics" tomorrow and they will assemble their own. I also bought post-its and will just stick all items for a subject in a box and slap a post-it with the assignment for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I use the Sterilite drawers for my 14 year old. She says it helps her stay organized, too. Our unit has 7 drawers--4 small and 3 deep. I'm not sure how much more stable it is over the other carts, but the deep drawers are useful for subjects with lots of books/materials.

Mrs Mungo Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Each of my kids has an IKEA Trofast shelf with wooden shelves and one drawer for their schoolwork. I have looked at these shelves but, the reviews complain about them not being sturdy enough to put books in. If anyone has one of these, then I would love to know how we'll it works for that purpose.

We got the rainbow ones from Wal-mart. They are flimsy. I squished the sides a little closer together to make the drawers fit snugger so that they will hold more weight. We will see how they last.

Alte Veste Academy Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Other options? Each of my kids has a Desk Apprentice. They're even color-coded now, after a little OCD spray painting on my part. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
