This is a fun item to own.  I didn't need it at all, but wanted it lol.    It sits on my desk at my home office and so far everyone who has come in here while I have been working has say...wow, where did you get that.   It can hold quite a few more pens/pencils that I am showing here.    I wish it came in other colors, but white was all that was available.  I saw a bronzed one that was pretty cool but it wasn't available.
