This cup holder is surprisingly awesome. While I must say that the grey color isn’t appealing, it’s one of those scenarios where form follows function. First, the material it is made of is sturdy, and the mechanism made to last. I was able to pinch it to the side of my desk which is about 4 inches thick and that cup holder hasn’t move since. I like the fact that it deflects to the side so that I can maximize my desk space. I also like that it has 2 compartments: 1 for bottles that’s deep enough to put a 44oz cup, and one flat on which I put my coffee mugs. If you are looking to save space in your desktop with a sturdy solution, that’s the one.
