The Mighty HeathRa These are great! Living in "snow country", I'd rather have room for boots and boot dryers under the bench than the drawers. In a perfect world, I'd have a half width drawer AND a boot dryer and in the cubby above there would be lots of hooks for hats, gloves, scarves, coats, backpacks and purses.

Nanette Chauvel Bajka I need to do this!

Profile picture of Shayla Tillotson

Shayla Tillotson Those extra shelves still need to fit inside the cupboard when you shut the door. So they kind of take up shelf room to. the top one looks like it will knock some of the towel back when you shut the door.

Profile picture of Kelly Grace

Kelly Grace These door mounted narrow shelves help keep bottles from tipping over in the cabinet. Imagine if your refrigerator had no door shelves! It would be impossible to keep the condiments, milk, etc. . . organized.

Profile picture of Tricia Brown

Tricia Brown I agree with Shayla. I looked at dong something like this on my kitchen cabinet doors, and there is no way. I would have to remove half the things on my cupboard shelves--which defeats the purpose of creating more space.

Profile picture of Kelly Grace

Kelly Grace I used these in my lower bathroom cabinets which are 23" deep. Yes I had to give up about 5" of space, but these give me instant access to the things I use daily like lotion and hair care products and it keeps them from falling over like bowling pins in the depths of the cabinet.

Profile picture of Vanessa Amsbury

Vanessa Amsbury These buckets are way too small, unless you own only one or two hats. Plus, hats and gloves get wet. Not a good storage idea at all.
