| Mimi369's Full Review: Deflect-o 63601 Unbreakable 3-Pocket Wall File Poc... |
Setting up a home office work space is tricky business. Not only do you need the trusty computer, color printer, fax, proper lighting, yellow lined pads, and a plethora of writing utensils, it is essential to consider your filing system.
Thinking about your needs and personal office desires are equally important as to the style and design of the file system that you will ultimately buy. What I was looking for were wall files because they take up much less space in my limited area that I choose to call my "home office".
I searched high and low, browsing office supply catalogs, inspecting file sets in my doctors' offices and looking online. I finally decided on the set of wall files by Deflect-o and I am very pleased with my buying decision.
I purchased a set of the most durable wall files that I could find from OfficeMax.com called Deflect-o 63601 UNBREAKABLE 3-Pocket Wall File Pocket Set. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I do highly recommend them for any office, at home or work. If you prefer, you can also purchase this wall file system in the individual file instead of the 3-pocket style.
The Product Claims
The wall filing system claims to be easily installed on most wall surfaces. Unlike many other wall filing bins, Deflect-o 63601 claims to be made of UNBREAKABLE plastic. They also claim to be so easy to use. They claim to match with any color scheme and are claimed to be long-lasting.
The Findings
When I received my package from OfficeMax.com, I was pleased to note that the assembly requirements were minimal. The only tool required to begin using these handy and strong, yet light weight wall files was a screw driver!
I preferred not to permanently install these files on my walls so I opted to use the two sided tape that was all ready included in the packaging. Initially, I hesitated to trust the durability of the two sided tape for holding up under pressure once I began to fill the bins, however, I have yet to have these bins fall off of my walls.
It is suggested that the Deflect-o 63601 UNBREAKABLE Wall Files be installed on walls that are smooth and flat, free of dirt or dust when using the two sided self adhesive tape. The same is true if installing these very neat and sturdy wall files to your walls with the screws. It is highly recommended that the wall area is smooth, flat, level and free of cracks or any other obstruction which might prevent a flush fit.
Deflect-o is a manufacturer known for their high quality office products. The Deflect-o 63601 UNBREAKABLE 3-Pocket Wall File Pocket Set is one of their highest selling wall filing sets because they are unbelievably long-lasting, offering the consumer years of satisfaction and extended use.
What I especially love about these wall bins is their size. The dimensions clearly show that 8" x 11-1/2" file folders, reports, epinions reviews, lists and many, many other items can neatly fit within these dimensions. 14-1/2" x 3" x 6-1/2" is absolutely perfect for my needs and probably will be ideal for yours as well.
Although these wall files come in only two color choices, clear plastic or smoke (gray) plastic, they do indeed match in any office color scheme. I chose the smoke (gray) color because my computer desk, computer and other accessories are black or dark gray. Perfect match, if I must say so myself!
I would, however, like to see these wonderful wall files in other colors. Perhaps, blue or pink for a dash of retro color to spruce up any office.
At a mere $15 per set, the price could not be more affordable for the high quality that I have found in this product. Purchasing less expensive wall files do not necessarily mean getting top quality, in fact, often times, the quality is drastically compromised.
Recommendations
For those in need of a filing system that offers use of your walls as opposed to floor space if office space is limited, I would highly recommend the UNBREAKABLE 3-Pocket Wall File Pocket Set from Deflect-o.
After using these files for several months, I have no complaints as to the strength of the hard plastic. I have seen no signs of wear or tear. There are no scratches to speak of! I do anticipate getting years of use from my fine purchase.
The color choices are limited, however, either clear or smoke (gray) colors will match any color office decor. Perhaps the Deflect-o 63601 UNBREAKABLE Wall File Pocket Set will be offered in additional colors in the near future, making them even more desirable.
I have recommended these light weight strong wall bins to two of my friends who have small home offices like mine. I have yet to lose any friendships over my recommendation!!
A well-informed consumer is a wise consumer who is able to make better buying decisions.
