Costco Has A Great Solution For Adding Kitchen Storage To An Outdated Space

While lower kitchen cabinet shelves have been the norm for decades, they are the outdated design trend being replaced in 2024. Instead, nowadays, there is a bigger push for slide-out drawers. They're much more convenient since they allow you to see the entire contents of the cabinet with one single pull, negating the need to root around in the hard-to-see corners of the cabinet. However, if you have an older kitchen, this might be an expensive fix. Swapping out your lower cabinet shelves for boxes with sliding kitchen drawers will set you back thousands of dollars. And if you're not planning to gut your entire kitchen and start from scratch, swapping out the lowers can create a disconnect with the remaining uppers. However, Costco has a workaround for that. You can keep your original boxes and instead swap out the shelves for adjustable pull out kitchen organizers by Richelieu.

This organizer is essentially a pull-out drawer, allowing you to store everything from your mixer to your mixing bowls to your air fryer. And the best part is that it's much more affordable than an entire kitchen flip. Here is a closer look at the product.

This adjustable pull-out basket can be installed in your lower cabinet or pantry, replacing the old-fashioned shelves that make it harder to stay organized. It's adjustable in that you can easily adjust the width from 12.5 to 20.2 inches, making it something of a one-size-fits-all type of product. It can hold up to 55 pounds, making it easy to stack everything from heavy cans to hefty crockpots on it. You just need to install the hardware onto each side of the cabinet cavity, and you're ready to go. And at just $69.99 online, it's an affordable upgrade.

If you want to completely transform your cabinets even more, Costco offers more options from different brands. For instance, if you want to store something smaller and would prefer to have multiple drawer slides on one level, then the Trinity Wrie Drawer Slides might be more your speed. They cost $64.99 for a set of two slide, and they're great for holding pantry items like snacks. If you want something similar but need it to have taller sides to store things like bottles, try the 18-inch deep version, which costs $84.99 for two on Costco.
