Promising review: "These work great! They work so well I installed them and forgot them. My bureau is pretty deep and my clothes would all fall on top of each other and become a big mess. Now I'm pretty organized with my T-shirts." —Pathfndr
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
Promising review: "I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but...it's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." —Brigette

3D Home Solution is a small business based in Frisco, Texas that makes 3D printed home organization products.
Promising review: "Just what I didn’t know I needed! My attachments didn’t have a good home. The whisk is too fat for my drawers, but I wanted to keep them together, and near the mixer, so they just sat on a shelf. Now they have a home, and they’re not blocking the canisters on the shelf!" —Noora
Get it from 3D Home Solution on Etsy for $11 (available in three colors and in two mounting styles).
Promising review: "This little guy is great. Normally, my staircase has shoes all over it. Now, the shoes are in their tower by the staircase and it’s pretty awesome...maybe in part because my partner and I can now see who isn’t putting their shoes up! It’s a great, sleek design and takes up so little space. I can walk around with it if I need to because it’s durable and sturdy, and was ridiculously easy to put together. Yes, it’s more than many other shoe trees but it’s worth it for the footprint (or lack thereof!) and that it’s going to last for a really long time." —Skyrocketocelot
Get it from Amazon for $63+ (available in black and white and in two sizes).
Promising review: "I bought two of these because I have a disgusting amount of toddler/baby silverware along with regular silverware. Since I put these in, WOW does my drawer look organized and empty. I get compliments all the time." —Melanie slinger
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
Promising review: "I have an outlet above our mantel that’s meant for a wall-mounted TV. We have a large painting covering it. We wanted to use the plug to power two Wi-Fi speakers on the long mantle. The thinness of the plug is perfect behind the painting. The power strip is hidden by a mantle clock. So, we have our two speakers to either side and no visible wires. This product may not work for every application, but for us, it’s 10 stars." —Chashum
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in six styles).
Promising review: "Why the heck didn't I get one of these years ago?? This is a quality product. Sturdy and well made. At first I thought the light was a little gimmicky but it totally helps me see what I'm doing in my dimly lit bedroom. This is soooo much better than a jewelry box or trying to figure out your own clever storage like I have for years (trying to put off splurging for a product like this). I totally regret not getting one sooner. A lot of earring capacity, ton of everything capacity and ease of use for someone as lazy as me is critical! If you're on the fence, get one, you won't regret it! So worth the money!" —PHILLIP G.
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in nine colors).
Promising review: "It was better quality than I thought it would be. It worked perfect. It definitely helped me organize the cabinet of pots and pans and made a cluttered mess into an organized functional space. I would recommend it to anybody. Now I can just reach in and grab the fry pan I want and it left plenty of room for my pots to stay to the right. You could not even see the bottom of my cabinet before." —Careful shopper
Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).
BuzzFeed senior writer Emma Lord swears by hers. In her own words:
"Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."
Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "I have been looking for something to put my dishwashing soap in and not worry about spills around my sink. Tried so many and then I finally found this. It's easy to wash, soft rubber, does not collect water underneath and keeps everything nice, clean and organized. I love it!" —karmen haik
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just order a couple more and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "I have gone through many different desk organizers trying to find the right one and this is it. It is sturdy, adjustable, and stylish. I read that many people were disappointed by the fact that there were no covers for the screws but I purchased the light wood tone and I think the screws add to the aesthetic. It looks great and I love it. I would recommend this product to anyone who asked!" —Julia Harrison
Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "MUCH better than the foldable floor type. It doesn't fold up and fall over like the other one we had did all the time. It stays out of the way and holds a lot of wet clothes for easy drying. VERY sturdy." —Elizabeth Duff
"I love it! I use it in my laundry room. It’s so much better than the conventional clothes rack!" —KAREN J.
Get two racks from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).
Promising review: "I have forever had problems keeping my storage lids organized. I used to keep them in a large storage container that I only used a few times a year, but whenever I needed a lid, I had to dig through the pile inside that large container. Not a good solution! I found this by accident on Amazon, and I was intrigued. I looked at the reviews and decided that for the price, it was worth the risk. When I received it, it was very simple to assemble. Included are plastic separators that snap into little slots on the sides. It was a quick and easy setup. All of my storage container lids are now housed in the organizer and fits into a nice space in my storage container drawer. So much of my time has been saved from having to dig through lids, and inadvertently dropping things and generally being annoyed by my old system. This new organizer has helped so much!" —Jami Lynn

Promising review: "The over-the-tank toilet paper holder is so much better than one that is on the floor. I love it." —Eileen Rios
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six colors).
Promising review: "This turned out to be one of those 'great values' I can brag about to my friends (and always skeptical husband too!!). Expecting a flimsy, shaky-type unit, I was astonished to find it SOLID and STURDY. It assembled in a flash. The basket slides easily in the track and the wires don't bend or get crooked with heavier items. I have several powder type cleaners and bottles leaking fluids that were always falling over, making a mess to clean up. Because the basket pulls out smoothly, everything stays upright. I've tried several types of organizers in the bathroom cabinet, the revolving plastic unit, the tiered steps, the U-shaped shelves, and nothing has worked as well as this one. I may buy more for other 'storage needed' areas, e.g. linen closet, bedroom closet, and my office. Oh, it's also easy to take the unit out from under the sink and recessed floor to be able to clean under there." —Amazon Customer
Get it on Amazon for $25.97 (available in bronze or chrome).
Promising review: "I wasn't sure if I really needed this, but I have been really happy with the convenience and surprising sturdiness. It fits one bag of food and comes with a scoop. I use the smaller container for treats. Easy to open, close, lock, and unlock with one hand. The lid is very sturdy, the hinges are thick, and the lock is solid. It is a great size and doesn't take up too much room. The rollers are very nice, as well. The scoop is more useful than my measuring cup. I haven't tasted the food, but the seal seems like it really seals. The lid opens wide enough it doesn't interfere with the food while I'm pouring it in. Much better value than other pet food containers I've tried or looked at. Very pleased with the purchase." —L M
Get it from Amazon for $33.29+ (available in six colors and two sizes).
Promising review: "It’s quite sturdy and durable. Looks great! Pockets are deep enough to hold the papers. It doesn’t move when you open and close the door. It saves space and solves the problem of paper clutter. I am happy with this purchase and will purchase more in the future as needed." —adamandeve

StorageTheory is a small business based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Promising review: "This is a wonderful item to hold your K-Cups! It mounts super easily with your existing electric plug cover and it is soooo nice when you have limited counter space to have this on the wall by the Keurig! You can configure the holder to suit the wall area that you have available. Wonderful idea! It actually looks pretty and decorative. Very fast shipping too. Highly recommend!!!" —boogieman25
Get it from StorageTheory on Etsy for $17.99 (also available with 28-slot capacity).
Promising review: "I found this shelf to be extremely sturdy and handy! I loved how it works around my pipes and how it looks like a perfectly clean and organized cabinet and not cluttered. I tried everything from baskets and bins to wire shelves but they did not work. This under sink shelf lets you see everything. The metal is plenty sturdy for bath and beauty items. I love how it extends very wide! Love this shelf!!!" —Nicole Myers
Get it from Amazon for $22.97+ (available in three colors).
This six-piece set includes two wide and two narrow drawers, one can dispenser drawer, and one egg drawer.
Promising review: "The containers are sturdy and work great! Before my fridge looked like a mess you'd find on an episode of Hoarders — now we're ready for a photo shoot with Martha Stewart! Perhaps that is a slight exaggeration, but truly, I couldn't get a bottle of salad dressing out before without putting three jars of jelly on the counter, knocking over a bottle of ketchup, and stepping on the dog. Now I just open the fridge, pull out the drawer, and take what I need. The dog never even has time to get underfoot!" —hari sharma
Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "This is the perfect storage solution for our tiny NYC bathroom and so much better than a shower head hook caddy. It's great that the pockets are mesh so as not to hold water/get gross." —Emily Tozer
Get it from Amazon for $14.60+ (available in gray or clear).
Promising review: "These are the best storage bags ever. Nothing else works as well or is as effectively. I've tried them all and these are by far my favorite." —CCD

Check out my coworker's Spacesaver vacuum storage bags review for more deets!
Promising review: "This holds so much tea! I organized a shelf full of tea boxes into this sleek holder, which takes up a third of the space. It holds any standard size bag and I was able to shove a couple of larger ones in to, although they are crammed in. The side edge is shaped in a way that makes it easy and comfortable to grab and it is very sturdy. I keep it on a high shelf and haven't had any issues pulling it down daily. I keep herbal teas on one side and caffeinated tea on the other. Don't underestimate how nice it is to see all your tea at the same time. No more digging through a dozen boxes to find exactly what you want." —Krise
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "I use these to hang up leggings and work slacks, the S-shape allows the pants to stay put when I pull one off better than other similar multilevel hangers I've purchased. The clips included also hold things in place conveniently." —Miche S
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in two colors).
Promising reviews: "Holds better than any rack I've had. Nothing falls off and the hooks are a welcome addition for holding the small items. This is my second one, as I liked the first one so well." —Jami Wallis
"Sturdy and strong. I tried other brands but they are not strong enough to hold brooms. This one really works. I wish there was more space between each holder, but otherwise I'm very satisfied." —eb
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I ordered this with the plan of summer road trips for my kids. While we haven’t taken many trips this summer, the organizers are working great to keep my car mess free. My two teens have their seats organized to their liking, so they have their items at hands reach. The pockets are thick and made of strong material. The pocket for the tablet works great and still allows for touch screen while watching movies, games, etc. The mess pockets fit a nicely size water bottle. It’s a great feature to have now for a backup mask to be safely put in the car so it will it be forgotten, keeping their cell phone chargers, ear buds etc, in place without the mess or tangle of items. For someone with small children, preteens, or teens or anyone who road trips this is a great item. The straps are thick and the snaps are strong. The entire system looks like it will hold up for a while." —Nicole Capuzzi

Promising review: "I didn't know that I had needed this all of my life until I got one for my husband out of desperation. His hangers were all over the house, so I got this to try. I assembled it for him while he was at work and immediately ordered one for myself. It doesn't take up much floor space but holds a ton of my velvet hangers. Much better than any other method I've tried to contain hangers in the past, and it looks really nice. Sturdy and high quality. Easy to assemble." —SavvyShopper
Get it from Amazon for $24.51+ (also available in multipacks).
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review: "I have a full size bed and two of these fit perfectly underneath! They are a good size and hold a lot of stuff! They are easy to pull out and I like that the zippers open up the all the way unlike some other brands I’ve tried! They seem like they will last a long time which is great!" —Kaurin
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in six colors).
Some genius reviewers had the idea of labeling each bag to make it clear what's what. To do that, you'll need some letter stencils and a permanent marker.
Promising review: "It will make sorting and doing laundry much easier. The cart has locking wheels to keep it in place. Also, each section is separate and can be lifted out on its own. Will work out much better than some previous versions I've had where compartments where stitched together. I'm excited to use this. Was pretty easy and straightforward to put together." —Cassandra Samuels

Promising review: "This little guy is everything I didn't know I needed. I was surprised by how useful this was. It fit my Real Techniques sponges and the minis perfectly as well as the Beautyblender and I have some medium-sized sponges that fit perfectly. If you have a lot of sponges and you use them on the daily this is great. If you have a larger bathroom, I think it would be perfect to set it up in there. You could store them and when you go to do your makeup grab your sponge(s), wet them or wash them and go." —DSheehama
