4-Drawer Desktop Paper Organizer

I think I see the cause of the conflicting answers. The sides of the drawers are not one uniform height. If you measure at the middle of the sides, the drawer is 1” deep. But if you measure at the front, it is 1 & 3/16” deep. Additionally, each drawer does not quite touch the bottom of the drawer above it. There is a small gap between each drawer. So the distance between the bottom of a drawer and the one above it is 1 & 3/4”. What this means, is that if you are using a drawer to store paper, you can store a stack of paper that is 1 & 3/16” thick - if you go any thicker the sheets on top might slide over the front of the drawer. But if you are storing something solid (in my case a USB hub) you have 1 & 3/4” of room.

It is all one unit. The drawers are removable if you wiggle at them a bit, but it all came as one piece.

Fairly easily. They won’t remove simply by pulling on the drawer. But if you look at the side of the set of drawers, you can see where the plastic piece prevents each drawer from being pulled out all the way, and then it is pretty easy to gently push the sides of the structure apart enough for the drawer to wiggle out. It is more obvious when you are looking at it than my explanation my suggest.

The drawers themselves are clear hard plastic, but the framework that the drawers fit into is frosted. So if you look at the set of drawers face on, you will see completely transparent plastic, but if you look at it from above you see frosted plastic and the contents will be more obscured. The difference in plastic types is not that noticeable unless you look for it, particularly in my situation where the drawers are placed on a shelf - I didn’t notice that they were different types of plastic until I read your question. But I think that explains why it looks different in different photos. You can kind of see the difference in the product page photo, the front of the colorful paper is very clear, but the top of the unit is frosted.

I would not recommend this item for stacking since the top of the draw organizer is a bit smooth and doesn't have any grooves to lock a second stack of draws into place. The inside depth is 12 3/4 inches and 1 1/2 for the first three draws and 2 3/4 inches in height for the bottom draw.

I don’t think the Container Store sell drawers that fit legal paper, or if they do, I cannot find them under “paper and file storage / drawers.” The Bisley drawers had me hopeful, but the interior dimensions of the drawers are described as 13-3/4” - just short of 14”. If anyone from the Container Store is listening, I would definitely buy a paper drawer that fits legal paper! I have a paper cutter that is 14” long, and I find drawers much more convenient than stackable boxes. As to a drawer that might fit 11“ by 14“ paper, I would suggest checking out a store that sells art supplies.

The dimensions are as follows: Bottom: 9'' W x 12-1/4'' D x 2-3/4'' H Top, second, and third: 9'' W x 12-1/4'' D x 1'' H
