This solved problems in my home office as I can quickly lift the top and place ongoing paperwork tasks under the top when I walk away from my office area so my bills or statements are out of sight.
My office is part of an open floor plan, so this makes it easy to switch from work to company mode with the least effort.  The baskets below hold my current catalogs and binders that I have ongoing design projects inside, not totally confidential, but so much more easily switched to private mode when friends or service people are in the house!
