Solid wood has enough weight to stay where it is put, and the surface takes a knock without showing it the way moulded plastic does. Walnut in particular darkens very slightly over years rather than going yellow, which is the failure mode of cheap light woods and white plastic both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pens does it hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e Comfortably a dozen, and more than that if you are happy to jam them. Beyond a dozen they stop being easy to pick out, and at that point a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pen-holder-with-drawers-stationery-organiser\"\u003epot with drawers\u003c\/a\u003e is the better answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the wood sealed?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a light finish rather than a heavy lacquer, which is what keeps the grain looking like wood. Wipe a spill off rather than letting it sit, and do not stand it in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the colour match my other wooden things?\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut is a mid to dark brown with visible grain, so it sits alongside oak or pine rather than matching them. No two woods ever quite do. The photos are the best guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it just for pens?\u003c\/strong\u003e It takes scissors, a ruler, a screwdriver, brushes. Anything long that currently lives in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a matching one?\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/walnut-desk-organiser-pen-and-phone-storage\"\u003ewalnut desk organiser\u003c\/a\u003e is the bigger version with a phone slot, and the rest are in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/desk-organisers\"\u003eDesk Organisers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDelivery and returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree delivery, no minimum spend, usually 7 to 14 working days after dispatch.
