The $21 “Sturdy” Organizer That Creates Kitchen Cabinet Storage Out of Thin Air

Sometimes the best organizing solutions seem shockingly obvious once you’ve been introduced to them. When I started at The Kitchn, I didn’t think much about how to use the vertical space in my kitchen cabinets. I lamented my lack of space to anyone who would listen but I had about 1-1.5 feet of unused storage just staring me in the face and I didn’t even realize it. I was thinking horizontally instead of vertically.

I wish I had come across tiered cabinet organizers years ago — my apartment would have been so much cleaner and I would have actually been able to see what was going on in my kitchen cabinets. So, whenever I come across a good deal on a great organizer, I have to tell everyone I know. We found a $31 adjustable, three-tier organizer at Walmart that’ll declutter your cabinets for good.

The Mainstays 3-Tier Adjustable Storage shelf is 15.75″ wide, 10.5″ long, and 15.63″ tall. It’s made out of a rust-resistant material and features three shelves. The shelves feature flat metal grates, ensuring that most kitchen tools and accessories won’t slip through. There are five different shelf heights to choose from, so you can adjust this shelf to fit your specifications. Assembly is required for this shelf. It’s only available in white, but this color will fit in with most kitchen aesthetics.

Average Rating: 4.5/5

“This is a very good small shelf. I purchased one last year and I liked it so I purchased another one.” —Howard

“I’ve watched many organizing videos, but what I finally realized was my needs are unique as all of ours are. I had purchased several tiered racks for my bathroom which did not meet my needs. I have double sinks and not a lot of counter space. I measured my area between sinks, figured out the best width and started looking and found this 3-tiered shelf/rack at Walmart. Best shelf / rack I’ve bought. It’s easy to put together and take apart, and the adjustable height of the shelves is great. It fits my full-size hot rollers; my make up; and other hygiene products including toiletries with room to spare. It is still work in progress.” —Helen

“I put this shelf under the kitchen sink to organize my stuff. It fits great. The material feels strong and pretty sturdy. I don’t think it will ever break. I will buy another one for my bathroom. It saves so much space.” —Mage

I’m also recommending this shelf because it’s multi-purpose. You can fit it in cabinets above your sink and store spices, or you can put it below your sink and stow away cleaning supplies. It can be used in just about any room in the house, from your bathroom to your bedroom. If for some reason you no longer need it in your kitchen, you could always have it declutter another area of your home. And at just $21, this shelf is a steal.
