VIVO 17 in Under Desk Slim Slide Out Pencil Drawer - Tidy Workspace

Our review of the VIVO 17 in Under Desk Slim Slide Out Pencil Drawer looks at who benefits and why this modest organizer earns a spot on many workstations. Ideal for people who want to reclaim desk surface area without visible clutter, this slim, attachable tray hides under the desktop and provides quick access to pens, sticky notes, and small supplies. The single biggest reason to buy is simple: it delivers unobtrusive under-desk storage with a smooth sliding action and an easy install that works with most desks 5/8 in thick or more.

Key Features

• Under-desk mounting: Attaches to the underside of the desk to free up surface space while keeping supplies within reach.
• Compact footprint: The 17 in drawer (18.9 in including side brackets) and 11.5 in depth fits slim items and small accessories without protruding into leg space.
• Smooth sliding motion: The drawer glides quietly on its track so users can retrieve items quickly without noise or sticking.
• Broad compatibility: Designed to fit desks with a thickness of 5/8 in and greater, making it usable on most home and office desks.
• No assembly required: The unit arrives ready to install so setup is fast and requires only mounting to the underside of the desk.
• Manufacturer support: Includes a limited 3 year warranty and tech support for troubleshooting and questions.

Who It's For

The VIVO slim pencil drawer is best for home office workers, students, or anyone with a small desk surface who needs a low-profile way to store pens, paper clips, staples, and sticky notes. It particularly suits people who prefer a minimalist look and want to keep essentials hidden but accessible.

Those who frequently store bulky items, thick markers, or large tools should look elsewhere, since the slim interior is intended for thin items and small supplies. Users who need heavy-duty, high-capacity drawer systems may find this tray too lightweight for large storage needs.
