Love this...you dont' have to use the little "stair steps" in fact, I got one all by itself second hand, and didn't realize it was part of a set. I have a low wall cubicle, and it stand very nicely on top...on the high side of my cubby, it hangs equally as nicely from my overhead storage....If there is something I need to remember, I hang it from the very front of the storage cabinet, which is over my phone so I can't avoid it. I can see getting bunch of these could be really fun..have a little display hanging from under my storage. NO Clutter! :-)
