Lipper International8878 Bamboo Wood Deep Flatware Organizer with 6 Compartments, 12" x 17-1/2" x 2-1/2"

Very good quality and fits perfectly in my silverware drawer

Amazon tells me that I got this April 7, 2012I picked this tray for two reasons: because I like the bamboo and because I have a LOT of flatware, and it's capacious. I am not disappointed by those two things. I am disappointed because it's not made very well. I am regluing it today, or trying to, which leads me to visit Amazon and write a review.Pros:1. I do like the bamboo, quite a bit. It makes me happy2. I have a space-crunched kitchen, and this fits well in the top drawer3. I think I have service for 16 (two 8-person sets), plus some extra pieces like iced tea spoon, and this holds it all. Maybe I have service for 20, even, come to think of it.Cons:1. Everything is a little bit warped. I'm pretty sure it was when I got it, but it certainly is now. This make the regluing effort a bit questionable.2. What led me to reglue is that table knives started sliding underneath, out of their official bin. (This did, of course, over time, lead to increased wedging. FWIW, I have for years now just slid the knives back out and popped the dividers back into place, but the knives want what the knives want, and they do it again. Today, I had enough silverware in the dishwasher that I decided it was a good day to try to reglue.3. The back piece appears to be a veneer, so who knows what I'm gluing to, anyway.4. Whether over the course of time or initially shoddy construction, the dividers will not meet flush with the base. I was initially trying to glue and clamp and gave that up. I did try that for a few hours, and then decided to treat it more like caulking with my Elmer's: I am trying to make a barrier that will prevent the knives from slipping underneath again and continually wedging things up.Four stars because I still love the wood of this, the depth, and that it fits so well in my drawer. As I was hoping, it's a good use of the space that I have, and it's classy, even with all its flaws.FWIW, I have gotten over the need to have one specific item in each compartment. In the longest bin on the left, I have serving spoons, pushed towards the top, and iced tea spoons, pushed towards the bottom. In the next compartment, I have the knives, which was probably the worst choice for them, giving the wedging behavior, and I might rearrange when I refill the drawer. Next, I have forks, the real dinner forks. On the far right, I have the regular spoons at the top of the bin and the teaspoons at the bottom of the bin. I have almost no use for desert forks, so I put those across the top, in the smaller bin that goes sideways. And I can't easily reach the very top bin, so very seldom used things go there. I gather my intermingling of different types of silverware is a disappointment to some readers, but it really works well for me. Again, I am space crunched, and this is the optimal solution. I will probably swap the knives and the spoons when I refill the drawer, since this will give the knives less opportunity to escape. I think.

Great help organize the drawers in my new house.

with a drawer that is 2.5 inches deep, it only makes sense to get a flatware organizer that uses all of the vertical space in the drawer. This does that. The compartments are a bit thin...wider than one stack of forks or spoons, but not wide enough for two. I had to swallow my OCD and just DUMP the forks and spoons into the slots (I couldn't make neat piles), and this worked fine. I have LOTS of flatware, as we are a family of 7, and it all fits great. There is about an inch on one side of the organizer that I used for smaller serving spoons and forks. There is about an inch and a half in the back, which I used for larger serving spoons. The bamboo works great in the light wood tone inside the drawer...much more attractive than plastic. I'm pleased. When I got the new kitchen, I bought bamboo drawer organizers at a local organization store and per drawer, paid WAY more than I spent to organize my silverware drawer. A great value for a nearly perfect product (I looked high and low for one that would completely fill my drawer without the gaps on the side and back, but to no avail!).

The Lipper International Bamboo Deep Flatware Organizer was a nice purchase for me. The construction is very good. The bamboo is very smooth. It is very useful in the drawer to store utensils, or you can use it to put things.It is very durable and sturdy. It measures 11 3/4" x 2 1/2" x 17 1/2". It is constructed of ecologically responsible bamboo for natural look and feel. It features built-in dividers to sort and organize place setting pieces.I use one of these to put by flatware utensils, and it works great. It is easy to clean. I just wipe with a damp cloth with mild soap, and it stays very clean.It is great for knives, forks and spoons. Or, you can use it for small items like packets of condiments or to store your stationery items like pens and markers and scissors and things. It is also great for the hobbies, for your home office, and for your workshop.I definitely recommend this bamboo deep flatware organizer. The construction is excellent. It is a high quality. The feel of the material surface is smooth and shiny which is nice.

Love that it has 6 slots for knives forks and spoons. I actually bought this one for my sister's new kitchen...because she loves the one I have in my kitchen! Great product. And one-of-a-kind! Hard to find in stores.

When we first got this the knives would slide under the dividers every time we shut the drawer and it started prying it up. We just put the knives in backwards now, as in handles pointing away from us, and no more problems. Looks good, sturdy other than that initial problem. We put a couple of little wood blocks around it where the extra space is so it doesn't wiggle. Works great and looks great now.

This is the perfect size and shape and fits the dwarer perfectly. Looked at many others but this is absolutely the best size fot my cabinet.

I love my new tray but the divisions don’t go down to the bottom so cutlery slips through

We had high hopes for this cutlery tray. It looks great and fit all of our cutlery. But within 2 days, the butter knives were sliding through into the upper section. And the day after that- the whole right side came apart. We are so disappointed and angry at this waste of money. Do not buy this tray unless it’s a one time use!

The unit fits perfect into my drawer.Easy cleaning with nice bamboo sorting boxes. Bottom is veneer.

The dimensions for our kitchen drawer were a little unusual and I was very pleased to find this product as it comes very to fitting perfectly. There haven't been any issues with its construction or its dividers for me. I wouldn't ever go back to a plastic tray after experiencing this; I'm thrilled every time I open the drawer and see it!

Super light weight, it fits perfectly in our 12.75x18 inch drawer!
