I had a plastic cup holding my pens for two years and it yellowed like old tupperware. These actually hold up, look decent, and won't leach anything weird onto your desk.
















Papers were piling up in a plastic tiered tray that smelled like a new shower curtain. These replaced it and my desk finally stopped looking like an insurance office.



















I used to shove everything in a plastic bin from the dollar store and call it organized. These actually have compartments and don't smell like a pool float when you open them.



















Stacking textbooks under my monitor was my solution for three years. Then I found risers made from real wood that don't wobble and don't off-gas onto my keyboard.



















Once I replaced the main organizers, the random plastic tape dispenser and stapler started looking out of place. These rounded out the whole desk without adding any questionable materials.
