This drawer peg system is great for organizing your drawers if a) you don't losing a little space (you can pack much more in a drawer that doesn't have these dividers) and b) you don't want to spend a lot of DIY time making one of these systems yourself.
It would be nice if Rev-a-shelf made these with twice as many predrilled peg holes because your items can slide around a little more than you'd like if the size of items to holes doesn't match up for you. (You can drill your own holes but make sure you drill out the holes a bit smaller than the pegs measure). I was worried that I wouldn't have enough pegs for my drawers - you can buy more but they're pretty pricey. Turns out I ended up with more pegs than needed because I only used one per side of each plate or bowl. The pegs themselves were much bigger than I expected (you actually need to account for the size of the dowels when fitting things into your drawers). The dowels have a nice polished finish to them. They are not threaded but "screw" down onto the pegboard. They fit tightly and do not flop around.
These pegboards are pretty easy to cut down with a table saw. Just measure your drawer and cut off 1/16 or so on each side smaller. Since I knew ahead of time that I'd need to cut these down to fit my drawer, I bought used through Amazon Warehouse. The edges were barely banged up and what was affected was just at the edge that I cut off anyway. It was a good savings for value.
Speaking of value, these are plywood with a pretty thin veneer. If you are handy and have the right tools yourself, you could cheaply make these on your own out of birch. But if you're looking for a drawer organizer with minimal DIY effort, these fit the bill nicely.
Have put plates and bowls in a drawer rather than leave them up on open shelves given this is being used in a guest annex which gets dusty. These work perfectly to keep them from sliding around and are very flexible in their configurations. A neighbor with a table saw trimmed it to fit and trimmed off the finger hole because he felt it would not be very useful given the size of the pegboard. Tom put a screw in one side to act as a handle in case we need to remove it. I was thinking of stapling webbing on both sides on the bottom side and bringing the webbing up as straps to remove it but the screw head works just fine.
I have only lower cabinets in my kitchen, so all my dishes are in drawers. This product works great! My only issue would be that if you have custom sized drawers, they need to be cut to fit. Luckily my builder was still onsite with his table saw so he cut them quickly. The product did cut well and didn’t splinter. Yay! I was able to store all the dishes I wanted in my drawers. Down side, I wish there were more holes closer together to offer more options. I have a lot of wasted space, and a few dishes that don’t fit snugly due to the distance between each hole.
It was bit larger than our cabinet,but my handy dandy husband trimmed it down to fit. Plenty of pegs to keep ththe plates from moving.
easy to trim with a table saw, easy to install the pegs. however, when we tried to remove one of the pegs from the board, the metal dowel separated from the wood peg, and required a pair of pliers to remove from the peg board.
it's doing a great job of keeping the dishes from moving around in the drawer, and is attractive.

Absolutely love this! it is soooooooo easy to store, organize and use our tableware now. it's nice to not haver to lift a stack of plates up into an upper wall cabinet. so easy to grab dishes on the go, and it helps my wife who is "vertically challenged".
This is a 'must have' if you are putting dishes in drawers! I LOVE it. I bought the large and had my contractor cut it in half with his saw for a custom fit. He was also easily able to drill holes to fit my preference on china placement. We cut a few of the pegs to be short, so that it was easier to reach the plates in the back of the drawer. There were plenty of pegs left over. Really, really glad I bought this.
I have a very large and deep kitchen drawer. This allows me to put a full 8 setting china set in the drawer. It is happens to match the maple interiors of my cabinets and that is a visual plus. We had to cut it down to fit but that was fairly easy. I bought two and will most likely use the second to organize storage containers and mixing bowls.
The pictures on Amazon and other web sites don't do this justice. I didn't realize the "pegboard" would be a very nice, solid piece of 1/2" birch faced plywood. It was so nicely done, the holes don't even go all the way through. Had I known this up front I would have had my cabinet guy use it for his bottom board. Also, the pegs are larger in diameter than I expected and flared at the bottom for stability. I'm very pleased.
The pegs are a little wobbly, but do the job well. This is really the only reasonably priced drawer peg system I could find. The price still seems steep for just peg boards with dowels and knobs sticking up to hold plates in place.
