I was having a conversation recently with my mother about reigning in the chaos in her office. She has a lovely early American desk, and she mentioned that she hadn’t tackled the project yet because she wasn’t keen on putting acrylic shelves or other items in her beautifully decorated room.
I decided to help my mom find the best wood desktop organizer with drawers that she would be proud to have in her home, and during my search I found some other really great systems that would appeal to all different tastes and styles.
I was only looking at wood style products here, there are plenty of other styles available but for this post I’m only focusing on the one. I was more concerned with quality than price, but I was pleased to find that I was able to find good quality and a reasonable price together in quite a few instances.
Take a look at my favorites below!
- Midnight Black Wood Tower Desktop Organizer with Drawers
- Cherry Brown Wooden Desktop Organizer with Drawers and Compartments
- Bamboo Wood Monitor Stand and Organizer with Drawers

To be honest, this was a very close second for both my mother and me, strictly because of the incredible functionality of this unit!
This comes in a wide variety of wood tones, so if you like the functionality but don't want midnight black, click through to Amazon below and you'll see all of the different options that are available.
This is a really good looking piece as well with the brushed metal handles, the faux leather top, and the frosted glass windows on the drawers.
If you have a little extra space, you can't get better functionality than this!

This is a very popular product on Amazon, and for good reason. As you can see in the picture, there is a place for everything in this organizer.
It's nice looking in a more traditional cherry brown color, and although it's not very large compared to other offerings, it still has plenty of nooks for all of your office needs. The price is very affordable for the amount of functionality you get.
It also features anti-slip rubber adhesive pads so it stays firmly in place on your desktop.
This is a really good choice for the price.

Lastly, for those of you who don't have room on your desktop for both your computer and your organizer separately, this will do the trick for you!
This is a great looking bamboo wood monitor stand, with nice sized drawers and some small compartment spaces built in.
Your keyboard and mouse, or a laptop, can slide under, or that area can be used for paper and journal storage as well. For years I used more of a table than a desk for my work, and this would have been very helpful to get my computer up and out of the way.
