I just moved into a new apartment, and it has a lot going for it — but one thing it doesn’t have is ample kitchen storage. The cabinets are frustratingly shallow, and there’s only a single drawer. That’s right: one. It’s not even the roomy kind, measuring only a few inches wide. It’s not ideal, but I’m coping and purging as many unneeded items as possible. Until now, I had yet to locate a narrow drawer organizer that would make the most of my miniscule drawer — but I just came across an Amazon Prime Day deal that looks perfect.

I should’ve known that it would come from Joseph Joseph. The brand, which offers clever, stylish, and affordable organizing solutions, is beloved by a number of The Kitchn editors, after all. Its DrawerStore Compact Utensil Organizer looks deceptively simple, but its design is so smart, and it’s way prettier than most other drawer organizers. Scroll to find out why thousands of shoppers have left five-star ratings on Amazon (and why it should be one of your Prime Day scores)!

What is the Joseph Joseph DrawerStore Compact Utensil Organizer?

Instead of providing flat sections for your utensils like most other options on the market, Joseph Joseph’s makes the most of a small drawer with its angled compartments. Thanks to those, you can layer your forks, spoons, and knives in each one, saving you several valuable inches. It even has cutlery icons on each section to designate which items go where! The slant your utensils will be on make them easy to locate and grab out of the organizer, too. Several reviewers noted that they could fit (give or take) five pieces in each section, and others said they bought two to place side by side in their wider drawers. Just make sure to measure: It’s roughly five inches deep, 16 inches wide, and a little over two inches tall.

Another feature that sets this organizer apart is its stunning bamboo frame, which is durable and. Even though it’ll be tucked away in your drawer, it definitely doesn’t hurt to have your organizer look as nice as the rest of your kitchen does! (Especially if you need to place it on the counter so your guests have easy access.)

What Amazon Shoppers are Saying

Average Rating: 4.4/5

“I like this wood version better than the plastic one. I had the plastic version for 8 years or so. I wanted to replace it because it is nearly impossible to clean. The plastic cut outs just keep anything stuck inside. This wood version keeps it more open so you can dump anything out (like crumbs or bits of drawer sawdust over time).” — jigglypuff

“I love the size of this. Since I have small drawers it’s hard to find one that fits. I love that I can put about 5-8 utensils in each slot and it doesn’t get crowded.” — Cloe

“I bought 2 of them and even in my very narrow kitchen drawers both of them could fit in the same drawer if wanted. I decided it works best for me to use one for main silverware and the other one for tablespoons, dessert forks and serving utensils. Doing it that way allows me to also separate cooking and baking utensils.” — ShopperLady

Whether you also have a singular small drawer like me or have roomy drawers you have yet to fill, this organizer will help you make the most of it and look good while doing it. This is one Prime Day deal you should definitely add to your cart ASAP — its sale price is unbeatable!
