Perfect for my modern farmhouse theme desk area. The pots are pretty deep and not really the best for pencils and markers, but I was able to fix that by cutting kitchen sponges in a larger diameter than the bottom of the tin and putting the circular sponge piece in the bottom. Not only does the sponge lift the pencils and markers up higher, it also keeps the pencil tips from breaking! The pots are very rustic so they might not be for everyone.
