Warning about those cheap plastic drawer organizers from the dollar store
Picked up a four-pack for my desk last week and two of them cracked just sliding them into the drawer on day one. Now I've got tiny plastic shards mixed in with my paperclips and the drawer jams halfway closed has anyone else had these fall apart?

Oh man that's such a bummer! I learned that one the hard way too. What I ended up doing was grabbing a set of thin metal mesh drawer dividers from the hardware store for like five bucks. They're a little more work to install but they've held up for years now through all my junk sliding around. You could also try those felt lined plastic ones from the office supply store if you want something still cheap but way more sturdy. Hope that helps you out!

Bought the same pack and one cracked before I even got it in the drawer, total waste.

Three stores in my town stopped carrying plastic organizers entirely because of this. They got tired of people returning broken pieces and complaining about how thin the plastic was getting. Noticed the same thing with storage bins and even those cheap plastic hangers. Seems like everything is getting flimsier and more brittle, like they're using recycled plastic but not doing it right. At this point I'd rather pay a little more for metal or glass stuff because at least it won't crack the second I look at it wrong.
