I have a confession to make. My junk drawer is getting out of control. As someone who prides herself on being Type A and extremely organized, the fact that I even have a junk drawer, let alone that I have to admit it, is enough to make me blush uncontrollably. But I have one — and it’s well beyond time that I do something about it.

It would seem I’ve discovered the OXO 4-Piece Complete Adjustable Drawer Bin Set, a winner in Apartment Therapy’s 2024 Organization Awards, just in the nick of time. And, since it won in the best junk drawer organizer category, I’d say that’s pretty apropos for me! These drawers are an all-purpose way to instantly control the clutter that’s been hiding behind closed doors — or, in my case, a messy junk drawer. Keep reading to find out what makes this organizational set a winner.

Why It Won

For starters, this set of four drawers is, as the name may suggest, adjustable. Each one has removable and adjustable dividers so you can customize the compartments, which means you can choose exactly how you want them to look (and what goes inside them). The bins themselves measure 6×12 inches, 6×6 inches, 3×12 inches, and 3×6 inches. 

Each of the bins can hold a variety of items, which is especially helpful for a junk drawer. Paper clips, pens, notebooks, hand lotion, scissors, bottle openers — you name it, there’s a space for it. 

While I’m particularly focused on my junk drawer at present, I also love how versatile these drawers are. I’m already envisioning getting a set or two for all of my beauty supplies and toiletries in my vanity, too. 

Wondering whether the drawers will slip and slide around once they’re placed inside the drawers? Well, OXO has thought of that, too. Each drawer in this space-saving, modular design has nonslip feet to hold it in place.

In fact, these adjustable drawers have caught the eye of Stephanie Nguyen, Apartment Therapy’s senior editor, cleaning & organizing. “I love that these bins are completely adjustable and that they have nonslip feet,” she says. “They don’t budge at all!”

One of the best features of these adjustable bins, though, is the price. At only $33, they ring up at under $9 apiece. Considering I personally can’t put too high a price on organization, I’d say that’s a pretty big bargain.
