Pretty but requires some work-arounds
This storage unit is pretty and convenient for small kitchens. However, I did not realize how oddly this is designed until I tried to fill it up with coffee capsules. The problem is that it's 6x7 slots, so no matter which direction you go, you will never be able to completely empty a sleeve without using multiple rows since these come in counts of 10. And I usually have 6-8 varieties at home so it'd be nice to be able to have each one take a row without having to leave some in the box. But this is completely my fault since I know how many capsules this is designed to fit when I purchased the item. After playing with it for some time, I did figure out a way to store more capsules than the available number of slots (see customer images on the product page to see how I did it). Oh, and that nose it makes when you open the drawer! After reading my initial review, the company contacted me with a suggestion to put some dry lube or vaseline on the rails. I used vaseline and it helped a lot. I originally gave this 3 stars but am increasing to 4 stars given that I have work-arounds for both my issues.
