Good for organization but a little smaller and more fragile than expected

I got these drawers while trying to tidy up our kitchen. Lately, my wife has been feeding more than just our immediate family, including some people who have condiments that taste a little different than what we normally use. So we have far more bottles of ketchup, mustard, salad dressings, barbecue sauces, and other items than our refrigerator doors can hold. I decided that we should put similar items in boxes to distinguish them from other things and to make it easier to take everything out and put it back at mealtimes. I've seen something like this before and thought it would be great to have something that you can roll up when you don't need it. First of all I have to say that the pictures on the product page make these boxes look bigger than they really are. . I checked the measurements and was surprised to see that they are half the size as pictured. When folded, they are only about 2.5 cm high and about the size of a shoebox lid. When opened and locked, they are actually about the size of a shoebox, but only slightly thicker. It was a bit difficult to bring the sides together and I had to be careful not to handle them in that position. so they broke up. Containers are stacked together if you wish to use them that way. I found they weren't as strong as I needed to organize my glass bottles, but they worked with the condiments that came in plastic. They kept the food grouped and tidy in the fridge, which was exactly my goal. Because they are made of plastic, they are easy to clean. Or I can soak them in soapy water to wash. However, I would not recommend washing them in the dishwasher. You can also use them in your pantry, laundry room, garage, basement, office or anywhere you like. Due to the smaller size and fragility, I'm not sure the asking price of nearly $20 is ideal. Rather, $12-15 would be appropriate. If you need some level of storage and support with the ability to fold when empty, then these boxes are a viable option.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Long wait
