With Joseph Joseph, you know you’re getting good quality and practical design — and this genius Compact Cutlery Storage Organizer looks incredibly stylish, too.
Constructed of natural bamboo, it's perfectly narrow, yet it can hold 24+ pieces of cutlery due to the clever overlapping compartments.
The organizer is said to allow you to store cutlery in "less than half the space of a conventional tray," which a customer attested to when they wrote that their kitchen drawer “was so narrow, traditional drawer organizers never fit. I was able to put in two!”
Suitable for drawers with a minimum height of 8 cm (3¼ inches), customers frequently buy the Navaris Bamboo in-Drawer Knife Block with the cutlery organizer for streamlined kitchen storage.
However, if you, like me, like to keep everything matching, then the Joseph Joseph Compact DrawerStore Knife Organizer is the one for you.
The design creates more space in your kitchen drawers for storing other items.
Why It's a Favorite
With a 4.4/5 star rating from 5,126 reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks this design is both genius and stylish.
One customer wrote: “Loved the smart look of bamboo wood and the space-saving practical design. Best purchase ever in this category.” Another notes that it is a "lifesaver for small drawers."
"If you’re short on drawer space but don’t want to compromise on style or function, this is a total win," said another happy customer; the perfect solution for a stylish small kitchen.
I am a personal fan of bamboo kitchen drawer organizers — I find they make my drawers look so much more chic, as well as being very organized; I own a lot of cutlery and utensils, so I am particularly appreciative of this layered design.
"Cutlery organizers are a great way to keep even the smallest of spaces in check, so you won't have to spend your time rummaging through every single utensil to find the right one," says renovation editor Faiza Saqib.
"Plus, it just makes your overall kitchen design so much more seamless! I mean, what's not to love?!"

Made from over 95% recycled materials, this cutlery drawer organizer is sleek, compact and comes with non-slip rubber feet.
The HEKOBAG Cutlery Drawer Organizer is also worth a callout, which is both tiered and expandable, to suit any drawer space, along with the Lifewit Cutlery Drawer Organizer — which is a particularly popular option, having been bought by over 100 people in the last month.
