I'm removing the awkward shelf in my messiest kitchen cabinet and switching to a genius $18 tiered pot organizer instead
I can finally stop asking my long-suffering husband to wrangle stacked cookware


It is just my luck that the biggest cabinet in my kitchen is also the most inaccessible for me, especially as I have back pain and limited mobility.
That’s why I’m going down a radical route to fix it: I’m removing the shelving and stocking my kitchen cabinet with a genius $18 tiered pot organizer from Amazon. It means I will no longer have to ask my husband to wrangle the pots or pans I need and will be able to easily get them myself.
Hurrah! It’s a brilliant way to organize a kitchen cabinet and make my tricky space more functional.
Tiered pots and pan organizers are genius
I wish I had known about this nifty item to help me improve functionality in my kitchen cabinet years ago, as it would have saved me so much time and painful injuries to my back.
I love that you can adjust the arms to fit the height of your pots and pans so you're not stuck with standard sizings that don't match your cookware.
Shoppers love the kitchen storage idea too, calling it ‘a keeper.’ Margaret Brady, verified shopper, said her ‘pots and pans were a mess’ till she found this, adding, ‘Heavy duty and a great solution for my pots and pans organization in my cupboard. I tried many other solutions before purchasing this, and this one is a keeper!’
Antonio Lloyd, another verified buyer loves this and is pleased with the transformation in their cabinet, adding, ‘Works as described! Not only is this product sturdy, but my cabinet has never looked better!’

Coupling this item with a slide-out kitchen cabinet drawer, also from Amazon, will make it a brilliant combo for awkward, low cabinets.
What to shop
Make the back of your cabinets, or stacks of pots and pans easily accessible by adding a slide-out tray. This one comes with all the hardware you need to install it in under 30 minutes.
Why not combine this handy slide-out feature with adjustable pan storage? It comes in a two pack to double up how much you can store in one cabinet, or you can go for the white version instead.
If you need easier access and visibility in that awkward cabinet of yours, this is a great fix. You don’t even have to have it perfectly organized, as the high sides will keep everything contained.
We love great home storage ideas and things that help maximize our storage to help us get the most out of our homes. If you’re not sure what else there is left to improve, consider adding vertical storage.
