OXO Good Grips Good Grips Deep Drawer Organizer
The OXO Good Grips Deep Drawer Organizer is a stackable, expandable bin designed to bring order to kitchen junk drawers, utensil drawers, and other deep storage spaces.
### Overview
This organizer is built to embrace the vertical drawer space that commonly goes to waste — a practical solution for deep kitchen or utility drawers where items tend to pile up and get lost. It features two separate sections: the top section is multiuse and can function as a utensil holder, while the bottom section accommodates larger kitchenware, cookware, POP containers, and pantry items. It's a thoughtfully tiered approach to drawer organization that most flat trays simply can't match.
### Pros
- **Vertical space utilization:** It embraces the vertical drawer space that commonly goes to waste, making it genuinely useful in deep drawers where standard flat organizers leave the bottom half inaccessible. - **Two-tier flexibility:** The top section functions as a utensil holder while the bottom accommodates larger kitchenware — a real advantage if you're trying to consolidate two drawers' worth of items into one. - **Stays put:** Non-slip feet keep the organizer in place when you open and close the drawer, so you won't be chasing it to the back every time. - **Easy to clean:** The dividers and storage cup are removable for thorough cleaning, which matters for a kitchen organizer that will inevitably encounter crumbs and spills.
### Cons
- **Deep drawer required:** This organizer is specifically designed for deep drawers — it won't be a good fit for standard shallow kitchen drawers, limiting where it can actually be used in your home. - **Divider stiffness:** Some users report that the pegs holding the partitions in place can be stiff and difficult to remove, which makes reconfiguring the layout more of a chore than it should be. - **Capacity trade-offs:** Some reviewers found capacity disappointing, noting they had more room for tools with a smaller organizer than with this one — worth considering if you have a large collection of utensils.
### Who It's For
This organizer is a strong match for home cooks with deep kitchen drawers who are tired of digging through a single chaotic layer of tools to find what they need. It's designed to be versatile and support a range of specific storage needs, making it well-suited for anyone juggling a mix of large cookware, pantry items, and everyday utensils in the same space.
### Not Right For
Cooks with standard shallow kitchen drawers — the deep-drawer design is the whole point here, and it won't deliver value (or even fit properly) in a conventional drawer depth.
Expandable walls and a no-slip base make it one of the more practical drawer organizers in a crowded category.
What stands out
- Expandable design allows the bin to fit a range of drawer widths without cutting or trimming
- Non-slip base keeps the organizer in place even when the drawer is opened quickly
- Smooth interior walls and rounded corners make it easy to wipe clean
- Stackable with other OXO Good Grips organizers, allowing modular configurations
What to weigh
- Expansion mechanism can leave small gaps at the sides that allow loose items to slip underneath
- Plastic construction may feel lightweight relative to its price point compared with bamboo or metal alternatives
- Fixed height means it may not suit very shallow drawers
Great fit if
- Anyone looking to corral utensils, gadgets, or miscellaneous items in a deep kitchen or office drawer
- Those who want a modular system they can build out over time
- Shoppers who prioritise easy cleaning and low maintenance
Skip it if
- Anyone with very shallow drawers where the bin's depth would be wasted
- Those seeking a premium wood or metal aesthetic to match a high-end kitchen fit-out
