1. A desktop storage organizer comprising:
a housing having an open face; and
a plurality of drawers disposed within the housing, each drawer comprising an expanse having a top face and an opposing bottom face;
wherein, for each of the drawers, the top face includes a front-facing abutment surface spaced from a rear-facing abutment surface and the bottom face includes a rear-facing bumper spaced from a front-facing bumper, such that the rear-facing bumper is disposed forward of a midline of the expanse and the front-facing bumper is disposed rearward of the midline;
wherein the front-facing abutment surface and the rear-facing abutment surface of each drawer extend vertically from a first divider, wherein the first divider extends at least partially along a front-to-back length of the drawer; and
wherein the plurality of drawers are interlocked by the bumpers and abutment surfaces, such that transitioning a lower one of the drawers from a stowed position to a deployed position is configured to automatically pull an adjacent upper one of the drawers partially open due to interaction between the front-facing abutment surface of the lower drawer and the rear-facing bumper of the upper drawer.
