@Shoplet Review: Deflect-o Desk Cube Organizers @DeflectLLC

These office supplies were sent by Shoplet for review. As my office supply collection grows, my need for organizational and storage also grows. Thank you to Shoplet for this review opportunity.
Deflect-O Cubes
All of these Deflect-o promotional products share the same features:
  • See your desktop supplies at a glance Transparent organizers hold small supplies and keep your desk clutter-free.
  • Includes clips to link cubes together.
  • Sturdy plastic construction.
BEFORE 
Deflect-O Cubes - Before
Yes, this is the case. This is what my "office supplies" box looked like... organized.

Deflect-o Two Drawer Cube Organizer - $14.85 each

This cube organizer has two horizontal plastic slide out drawers. They do slide out completely so one must be careful not to tip it forward and lose all your goodies to gravity! Or physics. Or whatever. They drawers are completely clear, whereas the cube is translucent. I like the clear drawers because I can see what's inside each drawer. The drawers slide out easily and without noise so these Two Drawer Cube Organizer are nice for an office setting - it won't drive your coworkers nuts!
Deflect-O Cubes
Deflect-o Desk Cube with X Dividers - $11.10 each

The Desk Cube with X Dividers is all translucent plastic, also with metal clips to secure it to other Deflect-o cubes of your choice. The X dividers are quite deep so this is a suitable cube for pens, markers, and highlighters. I use mine for my Sakura Gelly Roll pens and my Pilot Hi-Tec-C gel pens because I use those for regular scribbling on a daily basis. Plus it just looks so cool to have so many colors packed together.
Deflect-O Cubes
Deflect-o Desk Cube - $13.20 each

This desk cube is translucent like its other friends, but like the Two Drawer Cube Organizer, it has slide out horizontal drawers. In this case, there are four drawers - convenient for smaller stationery supplies like paperclips, binder clips, rubber bands perhaps. I also use mine for erasers and pencil lead containers. Once again, they can be removed completely so you have to be careful to not let them fall out of the cube. The drawers are quite though, which I very much like. They're very handy and if you do get a set of these, you'll need at least one of these four drawer cubes.
Deflect-O Cubes
Deflect-o Desk Cube - $7.64 each

This desk cube is completely translucent and is a large open cube. Depending on your needs, it can be quite useful or it can be a waste of space. I filled mine with Post-It notes because I like to have them handy. I use them quite often. I think this particular cube would have benefited from being a cube with two spaces - a divider in the middle built into the cube to make more use of all the space in the cube. Otherwise, you have a giant stack of things and you need to pull everything out to get to things. But having at least one cube like this can be useful.
Deflect-O Cubes
In the case of each of these cubes, I very much wish they were made of, or at the very least incorporated some recycled plastic into their construction. They're awesome and completely plastic, aside from the metal clips that come with them to clip them together, so it seems like a perfect opportunity to use some recycled plastic materials, doesn't it?

Full disclosure: These office supplies were sent for review by Shoplet. I was not paid to write this review, but I do get to keep these cool goodies!

I have had these for years, I didn't know they still made them. I bought mine a long time ago at Office Max but they stopped carrying them. I'm glad they are available again, I love mine

I love modular systems, they make it so easy to create a solution to fit your needs. Don't think I can get these here, but I don't really need them anyway ;)
Looks cool though, I'd feel tempted :D

That's so awesome! This is one of those things I'm really glad Shoplet sent out because I love them. They're a permanent fixture on my desk now!

Totally fun to work with. Great for organizing. As I mentioned to Jackie, they're a permanent fixture. Surprisingly, they're easier to work with than pen cups lol
