Product Spotlight: Compact Cutlery Organizer

Products do not solve the bigger problem. If you are opening your kitchen cabinets and immediately trying to buy products please read this first.

If you have already decluttered, then read on because today we are going to look at a product that will give you a little extra space - a compact cutlery organizer.

What is it?
A compact cutlery organizer is a stacked system for storing your silverware instead of a side-by-side system.

Why is it helpful?

A compact cutlery organizer uses vertical space instead of horizontal space. These organizers take up half the space of a traditional silverware organizer by stacking the cutlery. “How can you tell what is what if the heads are hidden?” Well, this particular organizer has helpful icons to show which item is in which slot. After a while you will just know where the spoons are verses the forks.

What are the down sides?

If you have shallow drawers, you may not have the vertical space needed for the product filled with cutlery. If you absolutely need to see the eating side of your cutlery, you may not enjoy this product.

Does everyone need it?

No. As with every organizing product, be sure to declutter your spaces first. If you do not need the added space, you do not need this product.
