Joseph Joseph DrawerStore Compact Tiered Cutlery Organiser Stone
This compact cutlery organiser addresses the challenge of limited drawer space in smaller kitchens, flats, or caravans through an innovative tiered design that stacks compartments vertically. At just 12.6cm wide, it occupies significantly less horizontal space than traditional flat trays whilst still providing organized storage for essential cutlery. The layered structure maximises vertical drawer space, leaving room beside the organiser for tea towels, utensils, or other kitchen essentials.
Each compartment features a moulded icon identifying its intended contents, making it simple to maintain organisation even when multiple people use the kitchen. Made with a minimum of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, this organiser reflects environmental responsibility whilst maintaining the quality and functionality Joseph Joseph is known for. The Stone colourway provides a neutral, contemporary aesthetic. The organiser disassembles for thorough cleaning when needed.
Key features:
- Compact width for small drawers: Just 12.6cm wide, ideal for narrow drawers or leaving space for other items
- Tiered space-saving design: Layered compartments stack vertically to maximise drawer efficiency
- Icon-labelled compartments: Moulded icons on each section for quick cutlery identification
- Essential cutlery storage: Separate compartments for knives, forks, spoons, and smaller utensils
- Disassembles for cleaning: Compartments separate for thorough washing and maintenance
- Environmentally conscious: Made with minimum 50% post-consumer recycled plastic (manufacturer certified)
- Stone colourway: Neutral tone with natural variations and small speckles from recycled content
- Standard length: 39.7cm length fits most standard kitchen drawers
- Lightweight construction: 360g weight won't strain drawer runners
This compact organiser suits smaller households, flats, student accommodations, or anyone with limited kitchen drawer space who still wants efficient cutlery organisation. The tiered design requires drawers with at least 9cm internal height to accommodate the layered compartments comfortably.
What Customers Ask About DrawerStore Compact Tiered Organiser
How does this differ from the large DrawerStore organiser?
The compact version measures 12.6cm wide compared to the large version's 17.05cm width, making it approximately 4.5cm narrower. This makes the compact organiser ideal for smaller drawers or when you want to leave more space beside the organiser for other items. Both versions are 39.7cm long and use the same tiered, space-saving design with icon-labelled compartments. Choose the compact if drawer width is limited or you have a smaller household.
Will this fit my drawer?
The organiser requires a minimum drawer height of 9cm (3.5 inches) to accommodate the tiered compartments. The footprint measures 39.7cm length x 12.6cm width. Measure your drawer's internal dimensions—particularly height—before purchasing. If your drawer is shallower than 9cm, the tiered design won't function properly and accessing upper compartments will be difficult.
How much cutlery can the compact version hold?
The compact design suits smaller households or essential cutlery collections. It typically accommodates cutlery for 4-6 people when organized efficiently, or enough for 2-4 people if you have larger serving pieces. The narrower width means slightly reduced capacity compared to the large version, but the tiered design still provides efficient storage compared to traditional flat trays of similar width.
Why are there speckles in the material?
The small speckles and slight colour variations are normal characteristics of products made with post-consumer recycled plastic. These visual features result from the recycled material composition and don't affect the organiser's durability, functionality, or performance. Each piece may vary slightly in appearance, making your organiser unique whilst contributing to environmental sustainability.
Can I stack items in the upper compartments?
Yes, you can place cutlery in the upper tiered compartments. However, accessing items in lower compartments requires lifting cutlery from the upper sections first. For most efficient use, place frequently used items in the upper, more accessible compartments, and reserve lower tiers for less-frequently needed pieces like serving spoons or specialist utensils.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove any packaging materials. Wipe each compartment with a damp cloth to remove any dust from manufacturing or transport. Dry thoroughly before placing in your drawer. Verify that your drawer has a minimum internal height of 9cm to accommodate the tiered design comfortably.
Setting up: Place the organiser in your drawer with the longest dimension (39.7cm) aligned appropriately. The compact 12.6cm width leaves space beside the organiser for tea towels, utensils, or other kitchen items. Position it where you can easily access each compartment when the drawer is open. The 360g weight keeps the organiser stable during normal drawer use.
Organising cutlery: Use the icon labels on each compartment to guide placement. The tiered design means you access upper compartments more easily than lower ones, so consider placing your most frequently used cutlery—such as everyday forks and knives—in upper tiers. Reserve lower compartments for less-frequently needed items like serving spoons or specialist utensils.
Daily maintenance: Wipe compartments with a damp cloth as needed to remove crumbs or debris. The smooth polypropylene surface cleans easily and resists staining. For sticky residue, use warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Deep cleaning: Disassemble the organiser by separating the compartments. Wash each section by hand in warm soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. Pay attention to corners and edges where debris might accumulate. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling. Deep clean monthly or as needed to maintain hygiene.
Reassembly: After cleaning, ensure all sections are completely dry before stacking the compartments back together. The tiered design should nest or click into place securely. If compartments don't align properly, check for any debris or water preventing proper assembly and clean again if necessary.
About the recycled plastic: The organiser is made with a minimum of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, which explains any natural colour variations or small speckles visible in the surface. These characteristics are normal and won't affect the product's durability, structural integrity, or performance. The plastic maintains its cleaning properties and strength despite the recycled content.
Avoid: Dishwashers—the organiser must be washed by hand to prevent warping or damage from heat and water pressure. Don't use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that might scratch the surface. Avoid placing extremely heavy items on top of the upper compartments when the drawer is closed, as excessive weight could compress or deform the tiered structure over time.
Environmental Considerations
Recycled Content: Made with a minimum of 50% post-consumer recycled plastic (manufacturer certified)
Visual Characteristics: Product colour may vary and small speckles in the surface may occur due to the recycled plastic content. This is perfectly normal and demonstrates the genuine use of recycled materials whilst having no impact on durability or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't work in your drawer or doesn't meet your organisation needs, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used the organiser for storing cutlery. We've offered this guarantee since 1972 because we believe customers shouldn't take a risk when purchasing homeware.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage the organiser (such as cracking a compartment), we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This guarantee provides peace of mind for everyday drawer use.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Should I choose compact or large size?
Choose the compact (12.6cm wide) if you have a smaller household (2-6 people), limited drawer width, or want to leave space beside the organiser for other items. Choose the large (17.05cm wide) if you have a larger household, extensive cutlery collection, or wider drawers with space to spare. Both require the same 9cm minimum drawer height and are the same length (approximately 40cm).
My drawer is exactly 9cm high—will this fit?
The organiser requires a minimum 9cm internal drawer height. If your drawer measures exactly 9cm, it should fit, but there won't be extra clearance above the upper tier. For optimal functionality and ease of access, drawers slightly taller than 9cm work better. Measure carefully and consider whether your drawer has any internal features (like runners or hardware) that reduce usable height.
Can I use this for items other than cutlery?
Whilst designed for cutlery, the compartments can store other kitchen items of similar size and shape. The icon labels indicate intended cutlery placement, but you can organise items according to your needs. The compact width makes it suitable for various small items, though the tiered design works best with items that can be lifted out easily from upper compartments.
Will the recycled plastic affect durability?
No. Joseph Joseph uses high-quality post-consumer recycled plastic that maintains the same durability and performance standards as virgin plastic. The 50% minimum recycled content doesn't compromise structural integrity or longevity. The visual speckles and slight colour variations are the only noticeable differences, and these are cosmetic rather than functional.
Does it slide around in the drawer?
At 360g, the organiser has enough weight to stay relatively stable during normal drawer opening and closing, especially once filled with cutlery. If your drawer is particularly smooth or the organiser slides excessively, you can place a non-slip drawer liner underneath to keep it positioned where you want it.
