Can the long drawer work for holding pens, pencils, and paper?

We use the long drawer for a laptop (amazing how difficult it is to find a desk with proper heights for a laptop and also for writing). The shelf is a bit shorter than optimum, so the laptop must be brought forward over the pulled down front. The drawer could certainly be used for small storage instead IF a divider box was used or if a rear lip were added.

I don't know what they mean by the long drawer. If they mean what 'might' be a slim drwer on the top left-- it is for a computer keyboard. You could put pencils there but they would fall off the back. The bottom drawer on the right is regular sized file drawer. It's a pity that the top right is not a drawer but just a door to open space. It should have been another file drawer or two shallower drawers. Other than that it is a very nice desk;.

No. It is actually a keyboard shelf that pulls out and the front pulls down.

Yes, but the back is open--really meant for a keyboard. I added a couple of plastic divider-type boxes, and they hold pencils, etc nicely. One of these days I'll get around to taping the back with duck tape.

I don't believe so. I think you have to remove the paper from the main drawer and insert it there.

I don't think so, you would need to have a drawer that is a little larger. I have a 3-drawer unit, the drawers are 9x12ish. It would give you the room to store paper and not wrinkel when the paper is removed.

Yes, the drawer can fit 8 1/2" x 11" paper, possibly even 8 1/2" x 14"! It measures 2" tall.

No, the drawers will not hold file folders. The desk itself is much smaller than I thought. I hit my knees all the time and I'm average height.

Yes. The drawers can be arranged in any configuration that suits your needs.

Only the top drawer has a long tray from side to side. However, all other drawers have full length trays front to back.

The drawer is "barely" divided, with VERY low permanent wood dividers. You can use them or not.

I think so. I use mine to work on scrapbook projects and I can layout two fullsize (12x12) papers at the same time. So fitting a notebook or writing pad with a school book would be fine. There is a gap at the back of the desk that I've placed cup holders in and converted it to pen/pencil storage. If you have an IKEA near you, you might want to get it from the store. It's much cheaper at the store and you can save on the shipping.

Yes and yes. I turned one of mine around to switch compartment positions myself. If you do this, the drawer becomes more of a shelf because it won't slide out. I use mine for "working documents".

No, inside of drawer is a little under 6 1/4" , so no. Unless sharpened and shorter. Sharpies and other pens fit fine.

Yes! However, I find the file drawer workS OK for flexible files which can be slipped right ih

It may be deep enough, but it is not long enough to put a small utensil holder. I keep all my sharp knives in this drawer.

I don't believe it would. The "sticky" part on each end is a joke and the width of the ends are so thin that getting them to actually stack and then not knocking it out of place every time you access the drawer seems impossible to me.

Yes, it does. Each drawer comes with a set of rails that can be place for legal-size or letter-size folders.

I think it would work fine, but would not recommend it if you were going to put a lot of heavy objects in the drawer. I don't think they would hold up to the weight over time.

Probably not. Side drawers are deep, but not very wide. Middle drawer is too shallow.
