After finding out that Blind Corner Cabinet Organizers were a thing, I knew I had to have one, since my kitchen is tiny and I had so much wasted potential in that blind corner cabinet. A quick google search slashed my dreams, however, when I discovered the cheapest solution I could find was about $300, with some of the better options approaching $600. NOPE! 

But I had an idea. What were these organizers really? Basically drawers attached to a large drawer. If I could figure out a plan, I thought I could make one of my own. So I did. And maybe you can too? Check out the photos below to see if it's doable.



This was my sketch of what I was planning. I changed it a lot in the end, and was able to save a lot of money since I didn't need the baskets to all be the large size.



Here were just a few of the items I found that could help me create the Cabinet Organizer that you saw in the video at the top. When you get down to it, the total supplies that I found were:

  • L Braces/Brackets: $1.75 from a used hardware store

  • Square tubing: $7 from a used hardware store

  • 4 nuts, 4 bolts, 8 hooks, 12 pop rivets: $2.41 from a used hardware store

  • 18" drawer slide: $14.48 from Home Depot

  • 2 16" drawer slides: $26.96 from Home Depot

  • 1/8" thick 36" steel bar: $4.21 from Home Depot

  • 2 tier mesh basket: $14.99 from Bed Bath & Beyond

  • 2 mesh slide out drawers: $23.98 from Bed Bath & Beyond

For a grand total of: $95.78




I had a lot of help from my dad and his shop, but this was what the skeleton ended up looking like. After this photo, I added the second layer of drawer slides under the ones seen at the top, it was quite top-heavy but ultimately was what I had pictured in my mind. 



After crunching myself inside my cabinet to attach the organizer to the cabinet, I then added the mesh baskets. The lower left basket had to be added a little higher to accommodate the angled bar that was there for stability, but didn't seem to be a problem. The baskets could be easily removed by picking them up off the hooks if necessary.

One piece of advice, measure twice! When I first inserted it, the distances were off so it didn't slide smoothly. But after readjusting, it was smooth like butter. 



And voila! Here it is in use with everything added. It's not very stable with all of the weight pulled out, but pushed back into the cabinet, it held just fine. Since this wouldn't be pulled out all the time that didn't seem like a problem.

So what do you think? Is this something that any of you would like to try on your own? How could this be improved?

fly88 mình thấy bạn bè nhắc hoài nên tiện tay bấm vào coi thử thôi, kiểu tò mò giao diện ra sao chứ không định ngồi đọc kỹ hay làm gì nhiều. Vào cái là thấy trang nhìn khá sáng sủa, khoảng trống vừa đủ nên không bị rối mắt. Mình để ý mấy mục được chia theo cụm rõ ràng, kéo xuống một chút là nắm được mình đang ở phần nào, không phải đoán. Có vài khung thông tin trình bày dạng bảng cột nhìn gọn, lướt nhanh là hiểu ý, hợp với người chỉ xem sơ qua như mình. Thanh menu đặt ngay chỗ dễ thấy nên bấm qua lại cũng mượt, không phải tìm vòng vòng.…

https://keonhacai.cam/ mình vô thử đúng kiểu tò mò thôi, thấy mấy đứa bạn hay nhắc nên ghé xem giao diện thế nào. Vừa mở lên là thấy trang làm khá thoáng, chữ với các khối nội dung nhìn tách bạch nên đọc lướt cũng dễ, không bị ngợp hay phải căng mắt tìm chỗ cần xem. Mình thích cái cách họ sắp xếp phần chính rõ ràng, kéo xuống vẫn theo mạch chứ không loạn. Có đoạn nói về tải app thì viết ngắn gọn, kiểu giải thích dùng app thao tác nhanh và ổn định hơn so với trình duyệt, đọc phát hiểu luôn. Nói chung cảm giác dùng như một trang được canh gọn gàng, mấy box thông…
