There's An Amazon Find That Gives You Easier Access To Hard To Reach Cabinets

Whether you're standing on your tiptoes to reach the far corners of an upper kitchen cabinet or crouched down with your entire arm swallowed up by a deep cupboard, having a gadget that could make these hard-to-reach spaces more accessible could transform the cabinet's utility. One Amazon find that makes accessing such spaces more convenient is the HOUSE AGAIN Pull-Down Cabinet Organizer. The organizer costs $49.99 and features a single rectangular wire basket that can be pulled forward on metal tracks. This allows homeowners to stash the organizer in a cabinet, and when ready to access the contents inside, they can pull it forward via a handle. The basket slides beyond the tracks and down slightly, which often extends beyond the cabinet itself. For those looking to utilize every inch of cabinet storage space, this organizer could help achieve that goal.

The HOUSE AGAIN organizer is made of rust-resistant carbon steel, and can hold up to 11 pounds. When in the "stored" position, the organizer measures 10.24 inches depth, 11.22 inches length, and 7.5 inches tall. When pulled out, the depth changes to 22.04 inches as the front basket slides forward on the brackets. While it is called a pull-down organizer, the sliding basket only pulls down 1.8 inches. Some reviewers have noted that because of this, the organizer is more of a "pull out" or "pull forward" storage tool than a "pull down" system.

You can use this organizer in plenty of different spaces. To start, it's one kitchen cabinet organizer that can make storage a breeze. You can use it to access deep or upper cabinets where it's tricky to reach the back, such as those above the refrigerator or microwave. Since many users noted it doesn't pull down very far, it could be better used to pull items forward from the back of an upper cabinet. Additionally, some reviewers note that it isn't ideal for larger items like bottles. Instead, the organizer could be more suited for small item storage, such as kitchen spice jars or small snacks. In addition, this is one kitchen item you can use to declutter and organize your bathroom for closets, under the sink, or in other cabinet spaces to store shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.

When it comes to installation, users found that it was fairly simple, so long as you have the proper cabinet to accommodate it. There are two options for installation. HOUSE AGAIN notes that the sliding brackets can be permanently screwed into the cabinet itself. Alternatively, they offer 3M tape for renters for a no-drill installation. Many folks also favor how smooth the sliding mechanism is once installed.

Not all cabinets are well suited for this organizer. One user noticed that cabinets with a lip or edge can prevent the basket from sliding out. To remedy this issue, a piece of wood was needed to level the bottom of the cabinet. Additionally, another person found that some cabinets are too small or have existing shelves that get in the way of the organizer in its stored position. Further, some have noted that the unit takes up a lot of space and storing items behind it can create added organizational hassles. Or, if you were to store items in front of it, they have to be removed each time you pull the organizer forward.

Therefore, this organizer could be best for a standard hard-to-reach cabinet where you might store small items like spices. Alternatively, you could install it in the back of a deep cabinet to keep items you don't often use and place more frequently used or larger items in front so that accessing it is infrequent and relatively simple.
