This Custom Wooden Cutlery Tray 26×21 cm was made for a specific drawer size and shows how a simple kitchen organizer can be tailored when standard inserts do not fit. Esther Oriku created a dark wooden cutlery tray with confirmed dimensions and shared progress images during production, ending with a finished piece that matched the requested fit exactly.
- Request: The project started with a need for a wooden cutlery tray in dark wood with outer dimensions of 26 × 21 × 4 cm, sized to fit a particular space rather than a generic drawer insert.
- Final result: The completed tray was a compact custom cutlery box in wood, finished to the agreed size and approved from the final photos before shipping.
- Design details: This piece focused on a clean, practical layout with internal partitioning confirmed in advance, making it a useful example for anyone planning a small custom organizer for cutlery or everyday kitchen tools.
- Fit and use: Because the tray was made to exact external dimensions, it suited a precise drawer or storage area and helped organize utensils neatly where off-the-shelf sizes would have been too loose or too large.
- Process: Progress was documented with videos and photos at different stages, and the finished tray received positive feedback after delivery for fitting exactly as intended.
Every unique piece tells a story. What’s yours?
This design was custom-made exclusively for Roland. Let it inspire you: customize this design to fit your vision or start with a completely new idea. You chat directly with our artisans, and we handle the secure process.
