This Wildly Popular Kitchen Organizer Comes in Bamboo and Acacia Wood

My home kitchen has a very open concept vibe to it, partially because I don’t have great cabinets and partially because I tend to forget things exist if they’re not visible. That’s not to say I don’t use my drawers and cupboards. The drawer next to the stove is positively brimming with silverware, plus a can opener and peeler and probably other items, too. 

Why don’t I know exactly what’s in there? The rickety silverware organizer I have only fits cutlery, so everything else must be stashed behind it, where they lay in darkness waiting to be discovered again. Surely there’s a better system for my silverware drawer, and judging by how many positive reviews it has, this adjustable wooden organizer from Amazon may be just what my kitchen needs.

Sold on Amazon, the Smirly Silverware Drawer Organizer is a multi-slot wooden organizer meant to contain all your cutlery. You can choose from three base sizes: five slots ($19.99), seven slots ($25.99), or eight slots. The five and seven-slot options are only available in “premium alpine bamboo,” while the eight-slot organizer comes in either bamboo ($29.99) or 100 % acacia wood. The acacia is a bit pricier at $65.99, though due to a substantial discount it’s currently $39.99.

No matter which size you go with, the brand strongly recommends measuring your drawer before you purchase, which sounds obvious but can be easy to forget. Another important note: The eight-slot organizer is uniquely versatile, since it expands and contracts on each side, going from a 13-inch wide organizer with six compartments to a 20-inch wide one with eight compartments. If it’s not ideal for your silverware, the brand also suggests using it for tools, stationery, or makeup.

With over 7,600 reviews on Amazon and a 4.7-star average rating, this drawer organizer has quite a few fans. “The size, number of compartments, and options are the best I have found — and I have been searching for months. The price is also the best I’ve found,” KiminWA writes. “I’ve had a few different utensil organizers over the years, but none come close to this,” Bailey concludes.

Oftentimes reviews are written right after someone purchased something, so they may not give you a good picture of how long-lasting a product is. However, reviewer Sasha says she’s “had this drawer organizer for almost 2 years now. It still looks good as new! I was concerned about water splashes ruining the wood, but that has not happened.”
