The $16 Find That’ll Declutter Your Kitchen Drawers For Good

I wish I had the issue of dealing with deep drawers, but the reality is, my tiny kitchen only has one measly utensil drawer. That’s right: one. I just got back from visiting my parents house in Texas, and every time I stay there, I’m immensely jealous of how much space they have in their kitchen. (One day, I’ll have a big kitchen with more drawers than I know what to do with! I digress, but I have to start manifesting it now.)

If I had to look on the bright side, it’s definitely a plus that it takes no time at all to tidy up my singular drawer. The one (and perhaps only) drawback that comes out of having a ton of drawers is that it’s very easy to allow them to fall into disarray. You have to have the right organizers in place to make the most of every inch of storage and keep all of your kitchen tools accessible. It’s a total chore to rifle through a deep drawer for a tool when you’re in the middle of cooking, after all. That’s where YouCopia’s DrawerFit Sliding Drawer Bin comes in handy. And it’s on sale on Amazon right now!

Many editors on our team — myself included — own and love YouCopia’s organizing products, and I bet once we get our hands on this storage-maximizing drawer bin, it’ll be a hit, too. How could it not? It’s expandable, so it’ll fit a drawer anywhere from 15 to 24 inches. The locking teeth around the edge keep the bin at the right length, and it has a tab along the outside that allows it to rest on top of the drawer’s frame.

The bin itself is a little under 3 inches deep, which is more than enough room to hold all of your most-used tools. You can keep the big items underneath — like mixing bowls, baking sheets, cookware, and so on — and you can slide the bin back and forth to get to them. Tinier gadgets and utensils will rest on top, always within reach.

Average Rating: 4.7/5

“Our new house has deep drawers in the kitchen, and this tray works perfectly for maximizing space and organizing smaller items. It’s completely adjustable and sits securely in place. Then slides (more like glides) from side to side so you can access whatever is underneath. This is one of my favorite Amazon purchases in a long time.” — Fontaine

“Will definitely order more of these as the need arises. Love the way it expands and sits on the top of my deep drawers, and I can slide back and forth to get items I need from below.” — Amazon Customer

‘I don’t think you can go wrong with these bins. I have had new, deep cabinet drawers for a year now, and I was rethinking my choice about them. I was fortunate to discover these bins while I was back on my organizing kick (I hate disorganization in drawers and closets). They arrived yesterday, and I just put them in two of my drawers and am able to use them for the items we use all the time. And my drawers are now organized. Will be ordering another today!” — Happyknitting

For only $16, this organizer will make it so that not a single bit of your drawer will go to waste. Smaller kitchen tools won’t get lost underneath the heftier ones anymore, so you won’t have to tear apart your kitchen and take everything out to find the item you’re looking for. That means it’s a time-saver, too! If you have some deep drawers in need of some TLC, this gem is bound to do the trick.
