I got the quality I paid for. The cardboard interior was sturdier because of the compressed wood frame. The construction is strengthened by glue-infused dowels activated with water - but be careful to get the pieces oriented correctly as they are hard to reposition! Height is 12.25 inches not 12, so it didn't fit in my 12" bookshelf as planned. The slots are roomy for letter (8.5x11) and craft size (9x12) paper, but not for scrapbook (15x15) paper. (Drawers or bins are better for smaller, odd sized paper scraps.)

I was a bit disappointed that this organizer did not come already assembled. However, they are working out great in my classroom. They help me organize my curriculum work for the week. Thank you!
