Branded desk organizers with useful measured compartments

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional maker batch: six small branded desk organisers for ordinary pens and paper notes. Draft each from documented 3 mm plywood: base 220 × 120 mm; rear 220 × 100 mm; front 220 × 40 mm; two end panels 114 mm deep with a top sloping from 40 to 100 mm; one divider 114 × 80 mm. With vertical panels on the base, the outside footprint is 220 × 120 mm and maximum height about 103 mm. This is light desk storage, not furniture or a rated load-bearing product.
