Internal Organization: What Goes Where?

Maximize your efficiency by organizing your drawer by frequency of use.

The Top Tier (Easy Access)

The independent top tray is shallower (1-1/4″ height), making it the perfect home for:

  • Small Gadgets (Peelers, Wine Stoppers)
  • Measuring Spoons

The Bottom Tier (Deep Storage)

The lower section offers more robust support for heavier or longer items:

  • Large Serving Utensils & Ladles
  • Chef’s Knives and Steak Knife Blocks
  • Rolling Pins or Tongs
  • Bulkier Kitchen Tools

FAQs

Can I install a two-tiered drawer into my existing kitchen cabinets?

Yes. While these are popular for remodels, they can be retrofitted into existing cabinetry. You will need to remove your current drawer box and glides. Ensure your cabinet opening matches our available widths (15″, 18″, 21″, or 24″) and has enough vertical clearance to accommodate the dual-tier height.

How does the top tier move? Does it get in the way of the bottom?

The system is designed for total convenience. The top tier is mounted on independent, side-mounted steel glides. This allows you to push the top tray back into the cabinet while the main drawer stays open, giving you full, unobstructed access to the larger utensils stored in the bottom section.

What makes the BlumĀ® glides better than standard drawer slides?

BlumĀ® concealed glides are the gold standard in cabinetry. They are hidden beneath the drawer for a clean look and feature soft-close technology, which prevents the drawer from slamming. This ensures your silverware stays neatly in its compartment and doesn't slide around when the drawer is closed.

Is the wood finished or will it need to be sealed?

Our Two-Tiered Cutlery Drawers are crafted from solid hardwood and arrive pre-finished with a clear, durable UV coating. This protects the wood from moisture and food stains, making it easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth—no additional staining or sealing is required.

How much extra storage space will I actually gain?

By utilizing the vertical "dead air" at the top of your cabinet opening, you effectively double your usable surface area. Instead of one layer of cluttered utensils, you have two distinct levels, allowing you to organize twice as many items in the same cabinet footprint.
