Our best overall pick, Avaspot 2-Tier Under Sink Organizers, is made of durable plastic with metal support tubes, and can fit in a variety of sink arrangements. It’s also highly versatile, featuring four shelves that can be easily cleaned. Ahead, the best under-sink organizers to make the most of your storage space. Perfect for a variety of spots in your home, aside from just under the sink, these baskets have draining holes, so you can place shower toiletries in them without worrying about water pooling. Their narrow design allows them to comfortably share space with pipes, garbage disposals, or other under-sink hardware. We recommend storing shorter, smaller items in the bottom tier, and placing taller bottles and in the top. While we love that these organizers come with a plastic hook, we don’t recommend storing any particularly heavy items on the hook, as it may not be strong enough to support their weight. However, a loofa or disposable razor would fit perfectly. Price at time of publish: $36 Dimensions: 15.63 x 8.5 x 12.88 inches | Weight: 4.6 pounds | Materials: ABS plastic | Color: White or black | Assembly Required: Yes Plus, you can take it apart and use it as just a tray with handles attached for carrying. This makes it a perfect piece for a playroom or living room, where you could use extra storage for charging cables, books, candles, and toys. To clean it, wipe it with a damp sponge or washcloth and it’s good to go. Four, anti-slip rubber pads keep it in place, so it won’t slip around or cause any scratches to your surfaces, either. While it may be a little tall for some spaces (Measuring is key here!), it’ll get the job done in most and proves to be a versatile piece at a very low and affordable price. Price at time of publish: $21 Dimensions: 15.7 x 8.67 x 16.14 inches | Weight: 2.98 pounds | Materials: Plastic | Color: Black | Assembly Required: Yes You can also split the set up to offer innumerable options for decluttering your under sink regions. We love that this set gives you the option to clearly label and dedicate space for all of the supplies that typically sit cluttered under your sink. Some light assembly is required for this set, but we think that’s an understandable requirement given the number of separate pieces and the overall value of this organizing system. Price at time of publish: $180 Dimensions: Varies | Weight: Not found | Materials: Plastic | Color: Transparent with white edges | Assembly Required: Yes This organizer makes for easy storage of randomly-sized supplies, whether for the kitchen, laundry room, or bathroom. While full assembly is required, you won’t need any tools to put this item together. Notably, since the organizers feature a flat, firm top, you can also place several of them side-by-side in addition to stacking them. You can put items on top that you reach for more regularly for easy, streamlined access. Price at time of publish: $28 Dimensions: 16.75 x 10.8 x 10.25 inches | Weight: 4.22 pounds | Materials: Plastic and stainless steel | Color: White | Assembly Required: Yes This organizer is our favorite on the market because of its outstanding versatility, since it can be used in any under-sink area—kitchen, bathroom, utility, or otherwise. Its aesthetic is minimal enough that it can stay out on a countertop, too. Assembly takes just ten minutes or less, and doesn’t require any tools. Though, keep in mind that, when fully expanded, the middle part of the under-sink organizer may sag a bit. You’ll want to load it up thoughtfully for this reason. Otherwise, it’s a top-notch pick that will be suitable for many.

Price at time of publish: $17 Dimensions: 14.3 x 10.7 x 5.3 inches | Weight: 1.39 pounds | Materials: Metal | Color: Chrome | Assembly Required: Yes There’s also no need for assembly, either, as the only extra pieces included are your adjustable dividers which can be placed in any way you like.

Constructed of BPA-free plastic, this thoughtful organizer cleans up easily with the swipe of a damp cloth. Your only complaint might be that the dividers fall out of place from time to time.

Lastly, as with most plastic organizers, this one wipes clean swiftly with a damp cloth.

Design
The design of an under-sink organizer should accommodate any piping and other hardware in your space. It should also match the aesthetic you’re going for, and the purpose it’ll have in your home—whether that be storing cleaning supplies that you use once-per-week or spices you need to grab in the midst of cooking dinner. A functional under-sink organizer should keep “like with like,” explains professional organizer Beth Spiroff of Beth Spiroff Professional Organizing. It should group similar items together that you may reach for all at the same time of the day. Keep in mind: if you need to access items quickly, you may want to opt for a turntable or drawers that pull out. If you need to carry supplies with you, a caddy might be best.
Material
When shopping for an under-sink organizer, consider materials that are durable, easy to clean, and can withstand dampness and moisture. This will ensure your purchase lasts a long time and is very easy to maintain. Stainless steel is typically a good and durable option. Plastic can be a good option in well-ventilated areas. Whichever you choose, you’ll still want to clean your organizer and air your under-sink space out regularly.
Standout Features
Dividers
Dividers are a handy feature found in some under-sink organizers. Especially if they’re adjustable, a set of dividers will help you arrange the contents of your organizer into sections that make the most sense for you. This helps if you have items that are different heights, varying sizes, or things that you need to get to most often versus not as much. It’s also helpful if you’re sharing the organizer with an additional member of your household, and want to split up items by who they belong to.
Accessory Cups
Accessory cups or similar containers are helpful in corralling taller, thinner pieces, or anything that is relatively small and needs to be kept separate. They’re particularly helpful if you can also detach and re-attach them when you need to reorganize the space, or get to the item you’re looking for. You can find accessory cups most frequently on caddy or multiple-tier organizers.
Hooks and Rails
Hooks and rails are great for hanging things on, like a dish cloth, especially if they’re damp and need to dry out. They’re often found on caddies or other organizers used for cleaning supplies and bulkier items, but they can be a great standout feature on almost any organizer. If you plan on storing lots of cleaning supplies or adding an under-sink organizer to your bathroom or laundry room, hooks or rails are definitely worth considering.
