I have dish drawers with no dividers, just lined with Cushy Cupboard and I love them!!!

Dishes do not move and it is very convenient.

It's a very common way to go, around here. Drawer slides rated for 100# are common, so don't feel too constrained; I think 30" is a good ballpark width. Some people like dividers or pegs to keep things in place, but they aren't really necessary.

Love, love, love my drawers. I keep all of my dishes and bowls in the drawers next to my dishwasher. So easy to unload the dishwasher(of course my dd does this most of the time which makes it even easier!). The dishes do not slide around. The drawers are not extra wide~I think 15". I was really surprised at how much can fit in a drawer!

I don't use pegs, just a squishy-ish liner. Nothing slides around, and DH pushes the drawers shut pretty hard.

In our previous house we had our dishes in a drawer -- loved it. However, ours did slide around a bit, so in this kitchen (underway) we'll have peg-board with dowels to keep the dishes in place. (This isn't exactly it, but the picture I found first in a quick search:

I have mostly full extension, deep sided drawers in my kitchen. I hated the pull out shelves under a cabinet with no sides to speak of in another house. Things fell off the shelves when I pulled them out of the cabinets.

In all of my drawers, I use the cushioned rubber fabric that you buy on rolls from Wal Mart to line the bottom of the drawers. I have up to 16 dinner plates stacked at a time and they don't slide or move much in the stack at all. I have teens and a DH that don't take the time or thinks about being careful opening or closing drawers with dishes; and in three years, no mishaps.

My wrists and thumb joints are bad and I cannot lift plates out of an upper cabinet without dropping them. It is much easier to pull a stack of plates up out of a drawer or to lift them down into a drawer than to put them away in an upper cabinet. Next time I build a kitchen, I would eliminate almost all of the lower cabinets. The ones I have now that I find most useful are in my pantry for my large containers that hold 25 lbs. each of rice and flour. I could put them on wire shelving, but find it more efficient storing large items like thise plastic tubs under the counter.

Love my dishes in drawers! Mine are 33" wide and they work well.

No need for dividers, good glides and a nonslip liner is all you need.

We also love our drawers! Finally DS can safely get dishes & unload the DW. It was a priority for our new kitchen. I thought we'd need pegs, but we have Bluemotion soft-close glides & Cushy Cupboard, so the dishes stay put without pegs. Our drawers are about 31" wide. We have one conventional cabinet in the entire kitchen & it is under the main sink. Our prep sink has what looks like a cabinet front but it's a pull out with a box on glides; the box has a cutout to clear the plumbing & it's so great to be able to get to the back of the space by just pulling out.
