Freestanding Entryway Organizer, 11.6 in Wide, Black or White

Best for: Renting a place where you can't put holes in the wall. I set this on top of the shoe cabinet by my front door. Keys, lanyards, the dog's lead, and my work badge all have a spot now. The wire basket at the bottom catches mail and loose change, so it's not spread across the kitchen counter anymore.

Not ideal for: Anything heavier than a few pounds. The maker doesn't publish a weight rating, so I won't guess one. It's also not for outdoor or damp porches, and it won't fit on a surface narrower than 11.6 in (29.5 cm).

How to choose: Measure the top of your cabinet or console first. You need at least 11.6 in (29.5 cm) of width and 5.9 in (15 cm) of depth. It stands 10.0 in (25.5 cm) tall, so check that it won't block a light switch or a door swing. Pick black if you want it to blend in, white if you want to see it. The basket is about 3.5 in deep, measured off the maker's photo, not published by the maker.

In the box: One organizer in black or white. That's it. No screws, no wall plugs, no instructions needed.
