IKEA's Viral Rotating Shelf Will Revolutionize The Way You Organize Your Refrigerator

Everyone has been there; you're reaching for something at the very back of your refrigerator, and you have to play a game of Tetris to get to it, nearly knocking everything off the shelf during this treacherous game. While even the largest fridge can provide plenty of space for food and drinks, there will always be some items that have to be pushed to the back, making them difficult to grab quickly. However, this problem has become a thing of the past thanks to IKEA. The SNURRAD storage turntable from the famously affordable furnishing retailer has become a viral TikTok hack because it allows people to get whatever they need without shoving things around.

Similar to how lazy Susans made storing pots, pans, and spices more efficient, this rotating shelf topper will ensure you won't have to awkwardly reach for the bag of salad or jar of salsa nestled behind the eggs and jam. No matter how organized your fridge is, this little addition will transform the way you use this key appliance.

Easy access to all of your food

Whenever you unload your groceries, each item is probably placed with care to make everything as accessible as possible. However, as the week goes on, more food may get added and jumble up the space. If you've ever had to empty a shelf to get one strawberry, the IKEA turntable may be what you need to stay organized. This rotating shelf sits on top of your main fridge shelves, with a stationary bottom and a swiveling top that allows you to access everything with a twist. TikTok user @its_brandi_with_an_i shows off how they use the SNURRAD turntable in their fridge, spinning it around to show off everything from jam jars to sauces and condiments.

Even items that are placed in the middle of this product are readily available since there is only one row in front of them. This functional storage item revolves around a full 360 degrees, and thanks to the suction cups, it can be secured or detached quickly and without fuss. This also helps with cleaning since it can be removed for a thorough scrub. Additionally, the tray has higher edges that prevent items from slipping off, and it fits in nearly any fridge, which is why it has become such a coveted purchase.

Tips for making the most of this product

By adding two or three of these rotating shelves to your refrigerator, not only will you save yourself time and hassle, but you'll also make the entire unit look more organized. To get the most out of this trend, keep smaller and more regularly used items on the turntable, then leave heavier foods and beverages on a stationary shelf or in the door (which will depend on your appliance). Continue to utilize vegetable drawers for fruits and veggies, but smaller boxed fruits can be stacked on the rotating shelf.

This product also pulls out of the fridge when swiveled, allowing the narrow sides to hang off the stationary surface for a quick grab. The reviews all commend the turntable's functional design and the ease it brings to the kitchen. If you're thinking of purchasing this time, it may be better to get it sooner than later because TikTok is blowing this purchase up, and IKEA seems to sell out of them often.
