This Custom Wooden Cutlery Tray 21×47.5 cm was made by Esther Oriku for a small kitchen drawer with a specific internal layout in mind. It is a useful example for anyone considering a made-to-measure wooden drawer insert for cutlery and everyday kitchen organization.
- Request: The project called for a custom wooden cutlery tray sized to fit a narrow drawer, with outer dimensions of 21 × 47.5 cm and a height of 7 cm, following the requested compartment layout.
- Final result: Esther Oriku completed a fitted wooden drawer insert for cutlery, finished as a practical organizer rather than a standard off-the-shelf tray.
- Design details: The focus was on exact outer sizing and a custom internal arrangement, making the tray suitable for separating utensils neatly inside a compact drawer.
- Process: Progress updates confirmed the tray moved from approval into production and then to completion, with photos of the finished piece taken from multiple sides.
- Helpful for: This kind of project is helpful for homeowners who need a wooden cutlery organizer for an unusually sized drawer or want a custom drawer insert based on their own layout.

A request by Jochen from Berlin, Germany
I would like a cutlery tray for our small drawer. It should be 21cm wide, 7cm high and 47.5cm deep (outer dimensions). The layout should be as on the drawing.
