Clutter is a drag. There’s nothing more annoying than a messy home office or a bedside table, especially if square footage is limited.

If you’re looking for a little relief, consider this insanely affordable holder from Ikea, perfect for your pens, smartphone or other small items that tend to accumulate without warning.

A beige desk organizer holding several pencils and pens, with a smartphone resting horizontally in a slot at the front, connected to a charging cable. The organizer is placed on a light wooden desk, alongside a spiral notebook and a beige container in the background. — The natural color of the Hönsnät will play nicely with any style decor.

For just $2, the Hönsnät catch-all flawlessly embodies the brand’s ethos of low-cost, high-value solutions. But you might not want to wait to pick one up.

According the product page, this could be your last chance to buy it.

Clutter, begone

Our modern lives require many small accessories: smartphones, iPads, pens, charging cords all need to be within reach, virtually all the time.

A black desk lamp with a curved neck sits on a black desk next to a beige rectangular storage box with a lid. In front of the storage box is a beige organizer holding pens and a smartphone. To the left, there is a beige tray with compartments containing cables and a USB drive. A white keyboard and part of a computer monitor are also visible on the desk. — At just four inches wide, the Hönsnät fits right in with small work areas.

A beige desk organizer holding a smartphone displaying a black-and-white street scene, along with pencils and a pen. The organizer is placed on a wooden desk next to a small spiral notebook, two pencils, several books, two gray file boxes labeled "Sarah" and "Amy," a woven brown basket, and a glass. — Multiple slots allow for your smartphone to sit vertically or horizontally.

If you’re sick of a messy bedside table or work area, the Hönsnät phone holder is a clutch buy. Its design is supremely unfussy and its utility undeniable.

Thanks to two slots, you can place your phone vertically or horizontally, and if you’re like me and enjoy watching YouTube on your phone before bed (oops), the horizontal mode makes it easy to watch your favorite videos and charge your phone at the same time.

A smartphone with a dark case is placed horizontally on a beige stand that also holds several pens and markers. The phone is connected to a charging cable. The setup is on a dark surface with blurred objects in the background. — Desktop (or bedside) charging, made seamless.

Made with molded paper pulp, the Hönsnät is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to move around the house when you need a perch for your smartphone.

Thanks to its 4-inch width, this handy holder will hardly take any space on your desk or nightstand, and its natural, streamlined design will look right at home in even the most design-conscious interiors.

Availability and pricing

If I’ve done a good job of convincing you of the value of this little organizer, you’d better add a few to cart. And pronto.

Ikea is pulling a classic Ikea move (much to the chagrin of loyal customers like me) and discontinuing the Hönsnät after available stock runs out.

For now, though, the Hönsnät is still available on Ikea’s site for a minuscule $1.99.

A beige, molded pulp packaging insert with a rectangular hollow center and a stepped base designed to hold and protect an item securely.
