Despite my best efforts, there is something about my kitchen cabinets that sends them into a chaotic tailspin every few months.
I’ve realized recently that the problem is the vertical height each shelf has, and the inevitable stacking we have to do in our household to make use of it all. That’s why I’m stocking up on these $14 stackable shelf gems from Amazon.
They’re affordable and will make all the difference to organizing my kitchen cabinets and keeping them that way all the way through another season of busy holiday hosting.
Why stackable shelf organizers are the way to go
These measure 2.5" L x 8" D x 4.5" H each, and stack without wobbling, making them very useful for crockery, mugs and more.
I’m grabbing this Amazon Prime deal for three of my most annoying and chaotic kitchen cabinets, including where I keep my mugs, breakfast spreads, and small food containers.
They include metal wire racks you can use in cabinets, on counters and if you want to, somewhere else in the home entirely, such as when organizing bathroom cabinets. They are versatile, strong and easy to clean, with compact proportions to help you make the best of your storage spaces, rather than forcing you to get rid of things to fit them in to limited shelf space.
They are also quick to assemble, according to shoppers who love them, and do not require any tools to put together. Simply slot in and place in your cabinets to instantly double your storage space and make it easier to grab whatever you need without a tsunami of other kitchen items.
Chiana Dickson, content editor and organizing expert, says, 'Stacking solutions like these will remove the nuisance of having to nest different types of crockery, for instance bowls, on top of other items, such as dinner plates, for a lack of shelf space.
'You will still be going vertical and maximising your storage areas, just without the need for extra cabinets. It will double your storage instantly.'
Happy shoppers have been buying these to the tune of 5000 a month on Amazon, and rave about their quality and usefulness.
Verified shopper Christina Moore awarded these stackable units five stars, adding that they were ‘great for cabinets’ and took just five seconds to put together. She added, ‘These worked great for my kitchen cupboards. They were short enough that I could stack stuff on top. Easy to put together (takes like 5 seconds) and sturdy. Also the surface is flat instead of rounded so your items sit flat on top instead of wobbling.'
