Alvin, Wire Bin Roll File, Made For Rolled Maps, Plans, Drawings, and Tubes, 8 x 8 Inches - 4 Slots

It was a bit of a pain to assemble but it is working great to hold all of our wrapping paper!

I bought this from a seller, slightly used, paying about $33. w/ free shipping. For exactly that price I felt like I got a good deal and am very satisfied. Had I paid full price for same item I would be less satisfied, meaning, it's worth right around what I paid for it in my estimation. Comments about the clip-stem used to hold wire frames together are spot-on. They work well enough but after you put on the first 10 or so clips your fingertips will be very sore (and I'm a guy who isn't averse to using my hands). Having said all of that, the bin works perfectly fine; it feels sturdy and isn't wobbly. I was able to fit into it 20 or so different sized tubes.

Sure wish I had read the reviews before I bought this! As others have said, the assembly is more difficult than it should be....my fingers are still hurting! The instructions are not well-illustrated. That being said, it is what I needed, so I guess I just have to suffer through and hope those little plastic connectors don't give out! These guys at Alvin need to hire someone from Ikea to design a better assembly system!

I purchased this for scrap wood in the garage.TIP: USE PLIERS to attach clips— I read in many reviews that assembly (attaching the metal grate pieces with clips) was an irritating process and indeed it was. One review recommended using pliers to squeeze the clips, which I did, and that made assembly much easier. I’m still giving it 5 stars because after about 15 minutes of mild frustration, the product is assembled, sturdy, and exactly what I needed. Instead of having to move the wood pieces individually to get them out of the way, I can easily roll the unit around the garage.MODIFICATIONS: I made two easy modifications (which I’d intended on doing upon purchasing, not because there was some problem that arose during assembly/etc):1. STRENGTHEN WITH ZIP TIES: Since the product isn’t intended for heavy wood, I added white zip ties in a few places for added strength.2. LINER FOR BASE WITH MDF BOARD—I cut and placed a thin piece of mdf board on the bottom to avoid any thinner wood trim pieces from falling through the grate. I PAINTED THE MDF white so it looks as if it’s part of the product. I you do this, you may want to place it on during assembly. If you wait till the end it’s not a big deal— you’ll just have to remove two clips on the bottom to slide the mdf in, then reattach those 2 clips.

I'm the expert in our family at putting things together but this one made me very angry. I write this with pain in my thumb joints and broken nails-very difficult to get clips on and impossible to get final clips on. I'd like to meet the genius who designed these clips. There has to be a better way to connect this item.And seems way overpriced for what it is. Since I bought 2 and 2 months later I have summoned the courage to put the second one together ( and my fingers have recuperated) I would like to further complain. These clips can give you arthritis if you don't already have it. Beware! If we can send men to the moon we can design a better clip than this. Or at least a tool to attach clips. Had to go buy different fasteners which are far from perfect but will suffice.

I bought this for my garage to organize and store some scrap pieces of wood and trim and it works fabulous. I didn't use the divider for the large section as the wood pieces fit better without it. It was much less expensive than buying (or making) the mobile wood carts you see advertised for people who are bona fide woodworkers. Also, once this thing gets dusty, I can take it out in the yard and hose it off. I'm not a big fan of the clips that were provided to use to join all of the wire pieces, but they seem to be working. I had to use needle nose pliers to connect all of the plastic pieces. If you want to store small pieces of trim in this cart, you need to cover up the bottom grid with something so the tiny pieces of wood don't go through the holes.

Hard to assemble, but I love how easy it is to move around. I use it to store rolled-up quilts.

great product
