A drawer organizer gives every item a fixed spot, which is the only reason a drawer stays sorted a month later. This section has 6 trays and dividers, $7.50 to $27.86 — for flatware, for spice jars lying down, for chargers and clips, and for the drawer inside the fridge.
Two features repeat across these trays, and they are what separate an organizer from a box. A built-in non-slip liner holds the contents so knives and jars don't slide into each other when the drawer opens. Rubberized feet grip the drawer bottom so the tray itself stays anchored instead of drifting to the back.
Together they decide whether the drawer still looks sorted after a week of being opened with a hip. Both appear on the five and six-compartment trays and on the spice organizer.
If spice jars lie flat in a drawer, the open tray keeps them in rows and the liner stops them rolling. If you would rather see labels from above, the bamboo expandable organizer, $27.51, is a tiered rack that works in a drawer or on the counter and turns like a lazy susan — the same idea as the risers in cabinet and spice organizers, in wood and on a smaller footprint.
The clear fridge drawer organizer, $27.86, is the odd one here and the one people look for. It has a removable divider to split produce from snacks, clear walls so you can see what is inside, a built-in handle to pull the whole thing out, and a top that lets a second drawer stack on it. Use it to turn one tall fridge shelf into two usable layers.
For bins that sit open on a fridge shelf rather than slide like a drawer, see storage bins.
Measure the inside width, depth and height of the drawer before choosing. The spice organizer is described as fitting standard drawers, the Basics tray is 15.7 inches wide for a deeper drawer, and the bamboo organizer expands to the space you have. Leave a little slack: a tray wedged in tight is hard to lift out for cleaning.
Choose one with rubberized feet, which is what the flatware, Basics and spice organizers have. The feet grip the drawer base so the tray stays put, and the non-slip liner inside keeps the contents from shifting at the same time. Wipe the drawer bottom dry before fitting the tray — grease defeats any foot.
Yes, and the listings say so. The same compartments sort office supplies, craft notions, cosmetics and bathroom items. The four-piece set is the most adaptable, because the cable keeper and floating tray are aimed at chargers, batteries and small hardware rather than cutlery.
Yes. Its top is made to take a second drawer, which is how one tall shelf becomes two layers. It also has clear walls and a built-in handle, so you can see the contents and pull the drawer out to the counter instead of reaching into the back of the fridge.
