A desk organizer or the like includes a plurality of vertically stackable trays having partitions formed therein for storing articles of various sizes and shapes. Each tray has a hollow upright center post which is received within the center post of the tray positioned immediately on top of it. The posts have apertures formed in their distal ends and are so dimensioned that as the organizer is fully assembled each aperture is in closely spaced relation to the respective apertures in the posts of adjacent trays. When it is desired to manually separate particular trays to gain access to certain contents of the organizer, the user may insert the index finger of a single hand into the apertures and grip the desired number of posts, which allows one or more trays to be lifted and separated from the tray to which access is sought. A cover is provided with a knob-like projection having an aperture formed therein so that the cover may be gripped in a manner similar to the manner in which the trays are gripped.

In an organizer for storing articles, the combination therewith including: a first storage tray; a first post member formed integrally with said first storage tray and extending generally perpendicular thereto, said first post member having a distal end with an aperture formed therein defining a first lip; a second storage tray adapted to be placed over and rest atop said first storage tray thereby defining a compartment between said trays for the storage of articles; a second post member formed integrally with said second storage tray and having a hollow interior to telescopingly receive said first post member when said storage tray is placed atop said first storage tray, said second post member having a distal end with an aperture formed therein defining a second lip; wherein said first post member is longer than said second post member such that said lips of said first and second post members are disposed in closely spaced relation one to another when said second storage tray is placed atop said first storage tray, whereby said first and second storage trays can be lifted simultaneously by insertion of a finger into said apertures and gripping said lips.
