Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Confession: I have organization OCD. Yes, it's something my therapist and I discuss on the regular. Something about finding things in life I can control since I can't control other things... ANYWAY, I have a very organized home/life. I look at Container Store catalogs the same way most women look at Nordstrom catalogs. Like many people I have a sock drawer that was a hot mess. I'm a research scientist and have to wear closed toe shoes every day. I also live in a cold climate. This means I have a lot of socks. From no show to ankle to sport to casual to dress. I stuff them in my drawer and can barely close it. I decided to give this cute little honeycomb a try to see how it did at wrangling all my many socks. It arrived on time and well packaged. This thing is SUPER easy to put together. I mean, completely idiot proof. That's always refreshing! I also love that you can make your own custom size (within limits) and that there are different configurations you can use. If you don't like it, it's easy to take apart and reassemble another way! This entire unit, fully assembled measures 14"x13.2" give or take (see pics) and has 18 enclosed spots for socks, though you can use the half open ones against the side of the drawer for peds, knee highs or no show socks as well (which opens up up to 10 more spaces). The entire unit, fully assembled was smaller than my sock drawer width and length wise so it floats around a little bit when I open and close it. You can see how much extra space is left with it put in from my pictures. In terms of height, it was just right. My drawer is very small (only 3" tall) and at 2.6" this fit in perfectly. As far as the actual holes go, I can only fit one pair of size 8.5 foot casual socks in each hole. However, I can fit up to 3 pair of no show socks in each hole. In truth, I can fit more socks in my drawer by stuffing them in like I've always done before, but this keeps it much more organized and pretty and I can sort by colors and don't have to dig around every time I'm looking for a specific pair or color. Honestly I'm a fan, especially for the price! I'll probably get one of these for my husband as well. FYI, my dresser is an IKEA Hemmnes 6 drawer chest if that helps. Actually, I think this little honeycomb could have a lot of organizational uses. I may buy one when it's time to put away my Christmas ornaments! Though, the holes are too small to fit average size glass ball, I think they'd be perfect for most of our ornaments! I think it could be great for a craft and sewing room as well to sort thread or yarn, buttons, snaps, closures, beads, rubber bands etc. Useful indeed! In summary, even though it isn't a perfect fit in my drawer and even though it cuts down the actual number of socks I can technically fit in the drawer itself, I'm happy that I bought this and will continue to use it because being organized is far better than being able to stuff a lot of stuff in a drawer and have to dig for what you want every time. I can definitely recommend it! Hopefully someone else finds this helpful. I did NOT receive this item free or at a discount
