Promising review: “These were easy to install right on top of the gripper feet already on the bottom of our coffee maker. With lower height upper cabinets, it’s impossible to open the coffee filter and to refill the water tank on the back. Keeping it pulled out makes my tiny kitchen well… tinier. DON’T BUY THE WOOD SLIDER, these are cheaper, take up less space, can slide in any direction, and are one less to clean from coffee drips. These make a two-arm, loud, pull a one-finger push. These would be perfect for anyone with many appliances clogging their counters and individuals with decreased upper-body strength.” —sara

I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I’m able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around.

Promising review: “Honestly, way better than I thought it was going to be! Perfect size for my tiny kitchen drawer space, and organized very conveniently. It’s sturdier than expected and holds more than I thought it would. Just make sure you don’t have abnormally large/long cutlery and this’ll be great!” —Kaylie

19. A pair of broom holders in case you’ve gotta get a little more nimble with your kitchen storage solutions. I use my coat closet to store cleaning supplies because, well, NYC one-bedroom apartment. And these broom holders have made SUCH a difference in the organization.

I’ve been in my apartment for years and had all but resigned to having extremely disorganized cleaning supplies…that is ’til a whole bunch of them tumbled in an avalanche on top of me one day when I opened the closet. There’s something about a broom handle smacking you square in the nose to serve as a wakeup call. I easily mounted both of these to a closet wall, where they now hold my broom and Swiffer. They do a good job *keeping* the grip on the handles when I inevitably bump into them. The cleaning tools may sway a little bit when bumped, but just a teensy bit. I cannot believe I waited so long to make the (v small) investment in these, but I’m glad that I finally did.

Promising review: “These adhere so well to my old walls and keep my mops and brooms up off of the floor and out of the way. The use of vertical space in a tiny kitchen is of utmost importance, and these do the trick. To my absolute amazement, these were able to hold up a completely full, large Swiffer mopping solution container in a Swiffer mop with no difficulty. I fully expected the mop to fall to the floor while I was sleeping, but it’s still hanging up high. When I redo my kitchen, I will be painting them the same color as my wall to make them fade away, but as is, they still don’t stick out like a sore thumb. I can’t believe I waited years to buy these and months to install them!” —ChrisT
