This Simple Amazon Find Can Turn Wasted Space Into Extra Storage — and It’s on Sale for $16

Few kitchen upgrades make an immediate impact on storage space and style like open shelving. But if you’d rather not yield a power drill and ruler in order to add much-needed storage to your kitchen, check out these sleek under-shelf baskets from Simple Housewares. The set of two sturdy powder-coated baskets have an impressive 4.4-star rating on Amazon, and, bonus, they’re almost 40 percent off right now!

Fans of the baskets report using them to store everything from dish towels to storage containers to rolls of parchment paper and even snack packs. Whether you’ve got some bonus space under a shelf in your pantry, or aren’t taking advantage of the vertical height in your kitchen cabinets, they attach effortlessly to help you contain the clutter and keep your kitchen or pantry organized. 

One fan shares, “I have a pantry with well spaced shelves for placing tall items. Not everything in my pantry requires tall spacing so these hang down and fill the empty space while creating additional storage so that everything isn’t in one big cluster. They hold large boxes of storage bags or canned goods making them big and strong enough to be a great organizing solution.”

Another adds that the baskets are great for storing packaging, and “help increase the usefulness of the space in my pantry. I put all my square tubes of foil, parchment/wax paper, and plastic wrap on this shelf. It’s nice not having to dig through the pile anymore — plastic bags in the bin, rolls on the shelf.”

Each basket has a tight mesh grid design and a closed back to prevent items from falling through, and slide onto shelves or counters measuring up to one inch, where they’re secured by two arms. The baskets measure 12.5 inches wide, 11.5 inches deep, and 5.5 inches tall, so they can hold an impressive amount of items, whether you’re storing your collection of dish towels, napkins, or packages of dried pasta.

Since the baskets can be easily moved or repositioned, they’re the perfect non-committal organizational solution to overflow if you’ve got a surplus of pantry items. Not to mention, they can give a break to that drawer you can’t shut (we all have one)! Whether you position the baskets side-by-side or in two different areas of your kitchen or pantry, they’ll help you keep clutter at bay, and your most-used items within arms reach! As one reviewer summed it up: “Great extra storage in otherwise wasted space.”
