Great silverware holder
Good Quality.
I'm going with a reserved 4 stars. There's one minor issue that I didn't take a star off for, and 1 major issue I did.
First, the good stuff. It is really large (measurements in product info) and deep, so it does hold lots of things. It's generally well-made (see major issue below), single mold, no joins. Has a riveted hard plastic foot at each corner - if it doesn't fill your entire drawer, it's going to slide around, so slap a rubber sticky on them. It's a hard plastic, so is sturdy but if you drop something solid metal on it it might crack.
My minor issue is that I feel like it's not well-defined. Even in the listing pix it shows that it's only going to hold one or two each of the larger kitchen tools. So if it's not something that's flat, it isn't going to hold very much. It's much better used for the smaller gadgets. I tried that and it worked very well. Peeler, garlic press, skewers, corn holders, etc. Very useful.
I did end up changing my mind, though, and using it in my desk drawer. Even though it says "Kitchen drawer" of course you can use it anywhere. I like it here in my desk where it's big enough to hold some larger things, like my vitamin bottles - most rectangle type organizers aren't wide enough for, say, a glucosamine/chondroitin bottle.
The major thing that's really a problem for me is that mine had a hole in it. I did take a pic, but of course it's a really awkward placement to try to capture. I put white paper under it to help it show up, and there's a normal pen there for size. Please let me know if you think I need to redo it.
There's no sharp edges, so it doesn't seem it got banged and broke. The edges are very smooth, so I can only guess it was a mold or curing flaw. Running my fingers over it, there's actually a warp running quite a bit longer than the pen length. It's not going to affect how I use it and doesn't reduce the usefulness at all, but it just shouldn't be there.
Since it doesn't affect is effectiveness, I feel it's still a 4 star item. I'm good about updating if there are any wear & tear issues. Any questions, feel free to comment or email.
Although advertised as a Kitchen drawer organizer, this was a perfect fit for one of our shallow bathroom drawers that nothing seemed to adequately organize before. We have the Large size (it appears all sizes are reviewed under the same product, which can cause confusion when people are trying to get specifics). Our Large size goes from 7" wide (only allowing for 3 organizational slots) to 12" wide with an ever-widening 4th slot until you get to the 12". Like most expandable organizers, it will fall apart at this width, if not supported by a solid surface (i.e. drawer bottom). So you if are trying out the various options and suspending the organizer in mid-air, it won't stay together. However, if you expand it while it is in a drawer (as intended), it will be just fine.
We have kids of all ages (so 3 types of toothpaste), flossers for the little ones, mint flossers for bigger kids and regular floss for our die-hard old-school floss lovers....basically our bathroom drawer was a mess. This organizer has been amazing! The dark color helps the items really stand out...so easy to see the bright colored flossers/toothpaste against the background of the organizer. The compartments also have kind of a curved surface in the edges, so it is easy to pick up small items (like the flosser handles) since they don't catch in the corners.
I also like the dark color because it helps the organizer look especially sleek and clean!
The organizer feels strong enough to survive the dishwasher, but the instructions are hand-was only! It cleans up so easily and dries easily and without spots.
I love the size of this thing. It fits nicely in my kitchen drawer, and each compartment holds a lot. I have it in my drawer with 'creative cooking' items. The corer, wonton pres, rice shaper, ice cream scoop, etc. I love that it is textured on the bottom so doesn't slide in the drawer. Not sure how much I would have noticed that except that I have one in another drawer that doesn't have this wonderful feature and I really notice how much it moves when we open and close the drawer.
I will look for more sizes and shapes by these guys as this one is really sharp. Love the depth, the width and have I mentioned how much I love that it doesn't slip? :)

Description
Custom fit and organize your utensils and cutlery with the easy-to-use, Linus Expandable Cutlery Organizer. Perfect for the kitchen drawer, it's made of durable solid plastic construction and features non-skid feet to ensure the organizer stays in place.
This is industrial quality and I really like it. I had originally indended to use it for utensils but it is deeper than I thought. Thus I am using it for my cooking instead of eating utensils. It is definitely well made and worth every penny. So glad to finally get my drawer organized. This is awesome and I will purchase another one for my other kitchen drawers.
This organizer is the best! It's so sturdy and can fit so many utensils. Initially I was going to use it for organizing my spoons,forks and knives but as soon as I got I completely changed my mind. It is really big. A lot bigger than the picture shows. I managed to fit so many large utensils in it it i couldnt believe it! I definitely reccomend it!
This is a fantastic organizer. Because it deep and has no holes or drains, it can serve in a kitchen drawer and well as in the workshop. The riveted feet are a nice touch that prevents the bottom from sitting directly on the floor of the drawer.
This storage divider is made with durable plastic the holds up in the dishwasher. The walls and dividers are taller than most, allowing for things to stay put. We have this is a standard size kitchen drawer and it still fits without jamming the door. This product is as expected.
This is an excellent drawer organizer that will fit most drawers. The product is sturdy and easy to clean. I like that each compartment is deep and can fit many utensils. Overall, an excellent find.
