Acrimet3'' X 5'' Card File Holder Organizer Metal Base Heavy Duty (AZ Index Cards 130mm width x 90mm height and Divider Included) (Green Color with Clear Crystal Plastic Lid Cover)

I purchased this unit to store 3x4 scrapbooking cards (Project Life) in my craft room. The colour is a light teal, which works very well with my white and teal storage and accessories. I really like the heavy duty metal and space to store a lot of paper. I am very happy with my purchase and will be ordering more for photo and paper storage.

This file came very nicely packaged from the manufacturer in an attractive box with thin styrofoam all around, then inside another amazon box. It's mostly metal and seems to be very well made. The green color is pleasing with a slight aqua tint to it. The clear plastic hinged cover also seems sturdy. There are four little flat plastic feet on the bottom. It has a lot of capacity for 3x5" index cards, although I'm not sure it would hold 600 thick cards plus the alphabet dividers and still have enough space left for easily flipping through the cards. This is not for the rolodex type cards. The movable metal divider that supports the cards can be inserted into eight positions or left all the way to the back for a ninth, or removed if full. All those things are 5-star.What would be an improvement would be sturdier alphabet dividers. The ones I received are just thick paper, and I'm not sure how well they'll hold up with use. A few of the letters are combined (J/K, W/X, Y/Z) which is okay, and there's an extra at the back which we are also using. This file will be used for an organization and the cards will get regular, but not daily, use. For the price, I expected sturdier alphabet dividers, maybe plastic ones. Also the lid does not fasten closed, if that matters to you. The metal support divider comes out of the slots easily but also goes back in easily; it just sits in them and isn't fastened. The thin top edge of the front looks as if it might hurt the wrists but in use it does not. The file has a bulkier look and footprint than I would like, but it's only a little wider than the cards so that probably can't be helped. Overall, it's a good solution for our needs and has plenty of capacity. Btw, the index cards are not included, only the alphabet dividers. I ordered the amazon brand index cards.The photo shows about 180 thick 3x5" cards and the alphabet dividers in it, with plenty of space in front for easily flipping through the cards. My unused cards are stored flat behind the metal support divider which is a handy place for them. I see no reason this file box shouldn't last for years. I'm not deducting a star for the less than ideal paper alphabet dividers.

Me gusta el estilo vintage que tiene.Lo tengo algún tiempo y es práctico. Lo que viene siendo un fichero pero más majo.

What a lovely piece. It will last a long time and I like the colours you can get. Nice quality box and index cards. I wish that the blank cards came with it.

fits way more cards than i though which is great. Very durable
