Organize Cabinet Clutter With Costco's Sliding Bin Storage Find

No matter how tidy you try to be, sometimes the inside of a kitchen cabinet begins to look like mayhem, especially after an intense cooking session. If you've ever rooted around for spices, dug for a specific grain, or knocked over a row of water bottles to reach the ingredient you need, you know firsthand how aggravating this can be. At the end of the meal, you not only have to wash all of your dirty dishes, but you also have to organize your kitchen cabinets, too. Well, you can nip that issue in the bud by tidying up the inside of the cabinet. If the items are easier to reach and simpler to spot, you won't have to create a mess while trying to find what you're looking for. That's where the Seville Bamboo 2-Tier Sliding Drawer Organizer from Costco can come in handy. 

This multi-level storage unit removes items from the cabinet shelf and instead stores them in the higher negative space of the cabinet, which is usually extremely underutilized. If you have over a foot of space between shelving, chances are that only 6 inches of it are currently occupied with items, while the rest is just empty. This organizer fills that gap, which makes your items more accessible since it negates the need to cram things onto one single shelf. Instead, you can disperse the items across two drawers, which slide out to make things easier to grab. Here is a closer look at the product. 

This organizer was originally made as a storage solution for cluttered kitchen countertops, but it can just as easily curb the mess in your cabinets. The two stacked bins are made from aesthetic bamboo, upgrading your storage from the usual white or clear plastic containers. Each bin is 13.5 inches long and 8 inches wide, allowing you to store a good amount of items in the drawers. If your cabinet space allows, you can easily corral bigger items like grain containers in the top bin and shorter staples like spices in the bottom one. 

However, one thing to note is that the entire unit is 12.37 inches high, which means you will likely have to remove a shelf from your cabinet or move the shelf higher up to make room for it. To make up for the loss of storage space, you can invest in two of these to place side-by-side. They're more useful than a simple shelf since you can slide the bins out, allowing you to see the contents and easily grab the items in the back. Or, another solution is to place the organizers in a cabinet that has more vertical room, like the one under the kitchen sink. There, this organizer could be used to tidy up cleaning supplies. Clocking in at about $25 in-store, you might want to use multiple of these organizers in your messy cabinets to nix all the clutter in your home once and for all.

Kitchen cabinets aren't the only place in the house that can use a little help in the tidying department. You can use this sliding drawer organizer in any area that feels overstuffed and needs thinning out. For instance, you can easily add this to your pantry. Simply put it on a shelf and add your smaller items into the bins to make them more visible on packed ledges. You can also take this completely out of the kitchen and incorporate it into other messy areas. For example, you can use it to get your cluttered bathroom cabinets organized. Pop it under the sink to help store items like skincare and hair products. You can also easily move this from inside the unit to the countertop, making those items more visible and easier to access by being displayed in an attractive organizer.

This can also be a great staple to have in a craft room or home office. Simply put it on top of your desk to keep your most-used items close at hand but semi-hidden from view. The sliding action will allow you to access all your items, making it easy to root around for whatever you need. If you prefer to keep clutter off your workstation, you can also pop this onto a shelving unit that houses your supplies, making it perfect to corral everything from pens and pencils to paint bottles to scissors and staplers.
