Crafter's Companion SPECN-6 Spectrum Noir Marker Storage Trays, 6/Pack,Black

I needed something to organize all my pens and highlighters on my desk at work. I had gotten so many that they were just piled up on the side of my desk. I saw these and thought they would be perfect. They are light weight, but are made very good and are sturdy. I now have all my pens and highlighters organized by type and it makes it so much neater. I love that you can take the trays apart and only use as many as you need. I also love that you can either stack them flat or stagger them. Well worth the price I paid for them.

I've thrown away so much money trying to find cheaper alternatives to this. I've bought at least three or four different marker organizers before these, hoping that they would do just as good, but it was all a waste. Not only were they more complicated to just take the markers out of to use, but they were impossible to display clearly to see all my colours in one place. Just don't bother searching for alternatives. They're just as costly, but even more cheaply made and/or less functional. These are easily the answer to all my problems, and the second I opened them up and put all my copics into them, I could've cried over how much easier it is to find exactly which marker i need and to have everything neatly organized all in one place. As someone with ADHD who struggles to get art done if my supplies aren't easily accessible, these things are a LIFE SAVER! I'll never go back to anything else. Personally I would've preferred the clear version, but I wasn't willing to pay extra for it just because it was a different colour. The black ones are great, and I'll definitely be buying more as my marker collection expands! My only complaint i that the interlocking slots only work if you have them stacked straight, not slanted, and some of the slots need to have excess plastic trimmed off first before they can interlock. Easy enough with an xacto blade, and I don't plan on moving them around much, so not a big deal for me! Just something to be aware of for others. I bought 3 sets, and none of my trays came warped, but they're just plastic, so if they happen to be stored in a hot area while shipping I can definitely see the risk.

Sturdy plastic shelf. The trays are easy to stack and seem to stay in place well when you put the shelf together. (No need to glue or tape together.) The Spectrum noir markers fit well - although they stick out more than I expected. But this also makes them easier to grasp.

TLDR: Great for storage, Fits and stacks well with no movement, Fits all markers. Cons: Not secure "vertically" (don't lift from top), a bit fidgety to put together...some plastic bent. Cost.I got this as a way to (obviously) store my alcohol markers. I had originally had them in a travel case which did NOT work. I ordered 2 (pictured) and stacked them on top of each other with no staggering. It's really good to be able to see all of the markers I have at a glance, as well as color code them (oh Happy OCD!). It was a little difficult to put together as some of the outer edges had bent. It feels sturdy enough but i would just put it in one spot and leave it if possible as it doesn't seem to be secure from each row coming off if you lift up. The Markers fit well and slide in and out easily. I think they could be a bit cheaper cost wise, but given there's not much else that's similar I suppose they have a corner on the market.Overall a 4/5 (cost being the big factor)

Exactly what I expected and holds my Stampin' Up markers beautifully!

I can pick and choose what color pen I want at a glance instead of trying several former ways of storage and use. Two units was just right.

Disregard the review below from April 2023.I purchased 4 packs for my set of 320 Ohuhu markers based on this review below....More than enough with 4 packs was false. 4 packs left 33 markers without a home."I needed marker organizers for my ohuhus and also ones that would fit in the new cart I got. These fit perfectly and they were exactly what I needed. I made a mistake already ordering organizers that were too small but these fit the Ohuhu Brush Markers perfectly! Bought four packs because I have the 320 set. It was more than enough. So glad I found these!"That being said these are the best storage option.

These shelves are everything I hoped they would be. I got these to store my newly purchased Spectrum Noir alcohol based makers. There are several ways you can assemble the shelves. I assembled mine vertically to save real estate on my desk. I also put them on the slant to make it easier to remove the marker I choose easiest. The shelves themself aren't much to look at. Just plain black plastic. But for me, that's perfect since I didn't want them to be anything other than storage. This six pack will hold 72 markers in a very small amount of space. If you stack them single they are only about 10 inches across, 8 inches deep and 5.5 high. That's six rows with room for twelve markers across. I'll be ordering more Spectrum Noir markers in the future and with my order will be more shelves! I find this sytem to be perfect for my needs and extremely convenient to have them handy, yet still out of the way when I'm not using them. They feel durable and I think there's no reason they won't last for a very long time. They will also hold Copics and other similar or smaller sized markers just fine. The only thing I can think of, and it's a tiny detail, is that a flat piece of the same type of plastic material that snaps into the top shelf would be ideal to sort of "close" the top shelf allowing me to have that as a storage space for something small. I'd put my gel pen stadium stand on top, if possible. I highly recommend these shelves and definitely will be purchasing more.
