I have the Kraftmaid double cutlery insert and I love it, one of my favorite things in my new kitchen! It holds a ton of stuff, I have service for 12 on the top and all my extras on the bottom. The only problem I have is on the rare occasion when all the spoons are clean and not stacked correctly, the tray gets stuck. It is really easy to fix, a little jiggle of the tray does it, and I could solve that problem permanently by moving a couple of my rather large spoons to the bottom tray.

Oooh, awesome pic. Thanks!

Top tray and bottom tray same arrangement. Looks to be a 21" or 24" drawer, framed?

Yes, the top and bottom trays are the same. It is just an 18 inch drawer on a corner blind pantry. Here is the photo from the Kraftmaid website, I use the bottom for my casserole and baking dishes.

I was supposed to do this but nuked the idea. Was afraid of not enough clearance. I am not sure if this is accurate but my perception.

That was my thought too. That's why I'm anxious to see what 'real users' have to say. :)

I haven't had any clearance issues. My dishwasher is to the left, and the cabinet has 3 or 4 inch fill on each side of the corner, so there is plenty of room.

I was thinking vertically. As you said, you need to jiggle sometimes. How many spoons, for example, can you put in a section?

I have a cutlery insert from the Decora cabinet line, similar to KraftMaid in manufacture and I LOVE it. It is one of my favorite extras that I splurged on. I went back and forth, do I spend the money? will I regret getting it or not getting it? I have it in an 18" cabinet 4 drawer unit next to the dishwasher. The drawer is about 3" high and each layer is a tad under 1 1/2" high. There are some things that won't fit but I have a lot of stuff that does! There are 25 teaspoons in that front section and 16 pieces of cutlery in the others. The only thing that I have found is that small items in the rear sections of the lower level will sometimes go too far back and can be difficult to retrieve, so now I know to store tose items up front!

I have same from cabinetmaker. I initially ordered it, then felt I'd b ok without it. At install time, it magically appeared. I'm happy. It's crammed full and sometimes as mentioned, sometimes get stuck with an item that sticks up. I haven't had any problems with things getting 'lost' in there.

Thanks! Duh, I never would have thought to lay the flatware on its side! I was wondering how you fit so many teaspoons, etc. A picture is worth 1000 words and all that. :)

I'm sold. I know I want one. Now I have to decide which drawer. I have two candidates. A 21" to the left of my sink and DW below plates and an 18" just to the right but perpendicular (next to Super Susan) below glasses.

My real problem is that I am not sure how I'll use my kitchen (ie: where I'll prep, etc.) but I want these things ordered! I'll probably wait, but it's day 10 with my LR full of kitchen cabinets and I'm going a little batty. It seems like I should get everything I can HERE so that when it's time to put stuff away, it'll be done. But that's probably not the best idea.
