SUCK UKUK Pencil Sharpener Desk Tidy And Stationary Holder/ Pen Pot - Perfect For Pens, Pencils, Rulers, Markers And Scissors - Dark

This is a fancy pencil holder but we can put just a few pencils because the second one is just for clips.

Bought as a silly pressie for a friend who is really in his stationary. He has a huge pencil about 5 foot tall and thought as a joke this sharper would go with it! Fairly well made product, although a bit pricey. The internal hole where you stand your pens in could have been drilled out better though.. it seemed rather unfinished at the bottom and was not smooth but at various different levels with lots of small holes.. looked like the wood had rotted or had been eaten away inside or something. But as a joke gift, it did the job.

I bought this item as a gift for my girlfriend starting her new job mainly as a novelty purchase.However I have to note that the quality of the product is excellent. It's a very sturdy wood product which comes in a well packaged box. The metal sharpener has Hackney and the E8 postcode etched on it which is a trendy and desirable London neighbourhood which I thought was a nice touch to the product.If I were to be picky I would argue that compared the size of the product the internal dimensions are quite small although it will accommodate most peoples desk stationary.

Having seen these desk tidies on the manufacturers website I was surprised to be able to buy this one for less money on Amazon. Most sites which advertise these only offer the 'natural' coloured version and I particularly wanted the 'dark' version to complement my dark oak desk.These can also be obtained in the 'double' version which is twice as wide and has two holes but these are only available as in the 'natural' colour.This desk tidy looks, and indeed is, a really good quality product. The solid wood body of the 'pot' has a lovely silky smooth finish to it and the metal 'blade' looks realistic without having any sharp edges. With the 'dark' version the blade is a golden metal colour rather than the chrome of the 'pine' version. It will comfortably hold a dozen pens/pencils and probably more with a bit of re-arranging of the items in the pot.I would happily recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a desk tidy with a difference.

Having read the reviews, I chose to purchase item. My main concern was that the depth of the hole for stationary was not as deep as it should have been and images seemed to back that up. However, I was really pleased that the depth is perfect and better than expected. I can only assume that the manufacturers have updated the product. It is both sturdy and functional, and I am very pleased with my purchase.

I bought this for my son and he loves it, but to be honest if he had hated it I would have kept it and used it myself as I love it too! I opted for the dark wood with gold coloured fittings because I thought it looked "classier" and I think I made the right choice. It holds a good number of pens/pencils - don't be fooled by the image it is deep enough that the pens don't stick up like the ones shown. It is sturdy and very well made, and the solid base means it won't tip easily. It might be useful if a waxed coffee cup (or a plastic one) could be cut down to sit inside as a liner without showing over the edge, just in case a pen leaks. Totally recommend this product, it makes a brilliant present - or just treat yourself!
