Hi,
I'm looking for an under-the-bathroom-sink organizer. Do any of you have experience or have heard of this one, from Bed, Bath, and Beyond?:

It's called a two-tier expandable under the sink shelf:

Or could you recommend others or your ideas as to how you organize that area?

Thanks!

Since it's sale time and my current shoebox system isn't working at all, I'm going to get some of the cabinet depth elfa drawers (http://www.containerstore.com/shop/elfa/components/cabinetSizedelfaDrawers?productId=10003552&N=80349).

I use bins like these:

The tall ones are great for things like cleaning supplies and maxi pads (etc.) while the short ones are terrific for cosmetics, soaps and first aid supplies.

It's helped me stay organized in the under-the-sink cabinets for several years.

(Now I just need a good system for the rest of my closets!!!)

I use the multi-purpose bins from container store. Eg. one has the hair dryer in it. Another bigger one has all the extra bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash - I try to get a couple of extra bottles, so I don't have to make a mad dash to the store. I like that I can just pull it out, ferret through it, and then put it back when I'm done.

I use these Mainstays storage bins, which come in 3 sizes, from Walmart all over my house, including to organize under my sinks:

I don't have this, but just by looking at it, I think it would be easy to knock things over, creating a domino effect, and possibly losing things behind it.

It depends on what you're trying to store/organize, but I'd lean towards something like the Container Store multi-purpose bins for lotion, shampoo, etc.

I have some rubbermaid style bins, with lids. Stacked. I have very high counters so lots of space under the sink. I have hair things in one, extra toothpaste and contact lens stuff in another, etc. I don't access them everyday.

The Multi-Boxes might work too:

I love the medium size. i love that lids are separate so you only buy if you need. also, they stack with or without lids and have good handles. also next when empty.

although, if money were no object, i would prob get the Elfa drawer thing.

I agree with PP that the thing you linked to could be a big disappointment. and is not cheap for what it is.
