The $20 Collapsible Organizers That Decluttered My Dresser Drawers (Instantly!)
As a shopping editor who shares a tiny one-bedroom apartment and tests boxes full of products every month, I need all of the decluttering and organizing help that I can get. After almost two years of living together, my boyfriend and I have nearly tamed our living room and kitchen, but the bedroom remains a mess. This is partially due to the fact that he gets three dresser drawers and I get one. It’s not a fair arrangement (though I do make him store sheets and a few blankets in his closet), so my drawer is always nearly impossible to shut and my closet is overflowing.
Socks have always been the main reason why my sole dresser drawer is a disaster. As laundry is not my favorite chore, I typically just dump all of my socks into the drawer and call it a day, with no attempts to roll them up or at least separate them from my bras and underwear. So when I got the chance to test these drawer organizers, I was skeptical that they would make any kind of difference, but I was wrong.
What are the Cella 6-Pack Collapsible Drawer Organizers?
The Cella 6-Pack Collapsible Drawer Organizers are made out of canvas. At the bottom of each drawer organizer, there is a zipper. When zipped, the drawer organizer becomes a small, flexible box where you can store socks, underwear, and more inside. When unzipped, each organizer can fold flat, taking up little room, and be stored away. In the set of six, you get four large (12 3/4″ x 12 3/4″ x 4 3/8”), which can hold up to 10 pounds, and two small (12 3/4″ x 6 1/4″ x 4 3/8″) sizes, which can hold up to 5 pounds. The organizers come in a variety of colors and patterns, though all must be spot-cleaned. I tested out the blue-striped version.
Why I Love the Cella 6-Pack Collapsible Drawer Organizers
Although I think we can all agree that I need to start folding my socks in pairs, which would definitely make getting ready in the morning easier, until that happens though, this organizer does at least corral my socks into one space. Plus, my drawer completely closes! I use one large and one small in my drawer. I put socks in the large one while I put underwear in the small one. Despite having the same amount of stuff in the drawer, something about separating it out makes a big difference. Because I still have four drawer organizers left, I gave the other four to my boyfriend, who used them to tackle his underwear and sock drawer and get his t-shirts under control. Basically, this entire set decluttered our dresser.
But if you don’t know what you would use the other drawer organizers for, I recommend bringing them into your office or closet. You could use them to corral art supplies, desk supplies, or even handbags on your closet shelf. The best thing about them is that they’re multipurpose. And if you truly have no other areas to use them, you can unzip them and collapse them flat until you need them. They’re normally $30 for six, which is a great deal to begin with, but right now they’re only $20. I recommend starting your summer off with an organized dresser.
