Love this piece - fits very nicely in a couple of places on my fridge and freezer shelves. A great organizer and space saver for bottles, cans, bags and otherwize non-stackable goods.
- Size (outside measurements) 12 wide, 4 high, 14.5 deep
- each side is approximate 6 inches wide
- solid grip in-wall handle - you can fill with cans/bottle, pull off shelf & will stay solid
- little feet on the bottom keep it from slipping on glass shelf or on wire shelf
- Cools easily - will slightly fog with moisture
- Cannot be washed in dishwasher and yes, it does state this very clearly on the packaging unlike others said!
- Unlike tupperware or lock-n-lock, this will break if you throw it. It is hard acrylic, but heavy enough I would image it would take a brick wall to do so.
- Type in InterDesign to find many sizes as they are not all listed in the same way.
I use the InterDesign Divided Storage container for stamp storage. The 2 openings are a perfect fit for the Large Size Avery Elle stamp storage pockets.Avery Elle Stamp & Die Storage - Large The height on the sides is perfect for standing the envelopes upright. About 75 storage pockets (filled with stamps or dies) fit in each side of the Organizer Bin. Tim Holtz BigZ dies also fit, but of course not as many since those dies are thicker. The 14.5" depth of the bin fits great on a shelf. Love that handle is a cutout as does not increase the depth of the bin.I have 2 of these organizer bins now and am looking for one with a single opening, same width and depth.
I've tried different methods for organizing my fridge over the years, but it turns out that for my older-type fridge, at least, this is really the best option. It keeps things visible, easily moved (pull out the organizer once, instead of moving a dozen items around to get to the back!), and makes clean-up a breeze!
For some context, I have a smaller, older fridge with the freezer on top. The top interior shelf of the fridge has the light and temperature control right in the center, so that shelf really only holds shorter items on either side of the center "console". The middle shelf has one drawer above it, and the bottom shelf has two crisper-type drawers below it.
Due to the limited space on the top and middle shelves, I needed a container with lower sides. This one meets that criteria. I also love that it has the divider in the middle so that smaller items stay put, even when it's not full. In my fridge size, I can fit two of these across with a little wiggle room between and on the sides.
I'm currently using three of these, although one is a slightly older model. I use one on the top shelf - and may get a fourth for the other side of the top shelf. Then I have two on the middle shelf. The lowest shelf of the fridge I use for storing taller items like milk as well as leftovers containers, so I leave that open to accommodate large and variable-sized items.
In the top shelf container, I've put sauces, jellies, and flour / grains that I store in the fridge. In the middle shelf container, I use one side for eggs and the other side for snacks, and the other container holds fruit and smoothie add-ins (like flaxseed and chia seeds), so that I can just pull out the organizer to make smoothies, then put it all right back into the fridge. I've found that these allow me to store about 10% more than I was able to with the dollar store containers they've replaced. Also, the dollar store containers were opaque, so I often forgot what was inside them, and it would go bad before I could use it.
Because these are clear, I can easily see everything that's inside them, and the middle divider helps keep the items upright, like a mini file cabinet for the fridge! They reduce the amount of time and effort in shuffling stuff around to get to items in the back. And bonus: if something spills, I just have to clean the organizer instead of the entire shelf! (I tried that Pinterest hack where you wrap the fridge shelves in cling wrap, and not only did that NOT work, but it was a nightmare to get it on and off when there was a spill!)
This is the perfect storage container for the craft room! I use it for stamp & die sets. It holds TONS of them! I put my stamps in vinyl sleeves from Ellen Hutson, and get the Marietta magnetic sheets here on Amazon, and label them with a Brother P-touch label printer. These fit perfectly in an IKEA KALLAX shelf unit.
I didn't use this for my refrigerator. Instead I used it for my craft room. Although most of my craft and art supplies are in clear, close topped containers I wanted one to be open for easy access. One side I stored -standing up-- stamp sets, and on the right side I stored my die sets. It sits on the top of my rolling cart easy to get to and easy to find what I need.

I have a somewhat sad, 20 year old, 15 cubic foot refrigerator that came with my apartment. It seems to be functioning beautifully (no issues with it), but I'm not thrilled with the storage factor. I purchased two of these little bins to put on top of my crisper cover. What a difference it has made!
The idea of a two sided bin is ingenious. One of the bin is being used for apples/oranges & lemons/limes. The other bin holds my soda cans on one side, and i use the other for fresh herbs, etc. But really you are only limited by your imagination. I'm sure it would work equally well for yogurt, sour cream, ricotta cheese, regular cheese, spinach, sweet peppers, lettuce, cucumbers... well, you get the idea.
I will likely be ordering two more for my fridge, and maybe another one for my freezer shelf. Well worth the investment and I can't wait to have a fully organized refrigerator. Maybe it won't be quite so sad anymore.
The divided bin does what it's supposed to do: holds a bunch of stuff in a way that's easy to pull out and see/access. For many purposes, having two separate bins half as big, side by side, would probably be even more convenient (lighter, easier to get just what you need) But for holding lightweight things, in a context where you don't necessarily want to keep track of what's on the left vs. right, it's perfect.
I use this to store my hand-made greeting cards. It holds dozens and provides a clear, strong repository for them.
Super bin! Heavy duty clear acrylic bin is very attractive & very usable. It is bigger than I had planed on. Each side is 4 3/4"wide & 14 1/2" long! So it is much larger than the 4"x12" inches I had planned on. It is rare to get more Han you paid for. I think it will be great in my craft room for all my Cuttlebug & related stuff.
Keeps things neat, upright or flat, and separated. Well made, good size that holds lots of foods. Easy to access and sturdy. Love having this organizer now. Civilizes my fridge shelves. Very versatile design for a lot of uses. Highly recommended product.
