Three custom made wooden cutlery boxes

Esther Oriku made Roland a pair of stackable cutlery boxes that brought order, warmth, and a handcrafted touch to his drawer. What's your wish? →

Custom Stackable Cutlery Boxes 52×40 cm shows how Esther Oriku developed a drawer-organizing project from a simple stacked cutlery tray idea into a completed set sized for a large kitchen drawer. It is a useful example for anyone planning custom timber cutlery storage with specific outer dimensions, layered access, and different compartment layouts for everyday and less-used pieces.

  • Request: The goal was a pair of stackable wooden cutlery boxes for one drawer, each measuring 52 × 40 cm with a height of about 6 to 7 cm, so one tray could sit above the other.
  • Final result: The finished project included three timber cutlery boxes in the same outer size, after an additional upper tray was made so the set matched the intended stacked arrangement.
  • Design details: The boxes were made without felt lining, with divided sections for sorting cutlery and household tableware, and the compartment widths were adjusted during making so the outside dimensions stayed consistent.
  • Fit and use: This layout was meant to separate frequently used cutlery in the upper tray from pieces used less often below, making it practical for deep or wide drawers that need layered storage.
  • Process: Progress was shared during production, including updates on partitioning and finished photos, and the final set was corrected and completed after an extra tray was added to achieve the right stackable configuration.

A request by Roland from Mühlheim am Main, Deutschland

On this page I have seen a wooden cutlery box, which I liked very much. I would like to order two for one drawer: 1. lower box dimensions: 520 mm x 400 mm x 60 mm (W x D x H) 2. upper box with the same dimensions. Both boxes are for one drawer and must therefore be stackable. It should be similar to the attached pictures. I would have liked to have stuck a felt on the inside (see picture). But this is not a condition.

Hallo Roland,
Am happy to provide an offer of your idea.
Kindly what is the thickness for the cutlery box.
Thank you.

The height can be 6 - 7 cm. It is important that both boxes are placed in a drawer on top of each other, therefore a lower and an upper box.
The green felt on the inside of each compartment is optional and not binding.
Everything that is not used so often is put in the lower box, the rest of the cutlery is put in the upper box.

Yours sincerely from Mühlheim am Main
Roland

In the order the same picture of me is set twice. !!!! This irritates me.
I assume that I get 2 different boxes from the arrangement.
The image files I have attached to this letter are:
1. cutlery tray downstairs.
2. cutlery tray on top.
Otherwise, everything's fine. You're good to go.

Yours sincerely
Roland

Esther Oriku (30. January 2019)

Hallo Roland.
Thank you for your reply.
I will make two (2) in no without the felt.
The prices indicated is for two of them. I will start immediately.
Thank you
Esther

Hello, Ester,
I have ordered 2 cutlery boxes with different compartments (a lower and an upper cutlery box).
When I look at the pictures like this, I see the same cutlery tray twice. (The lower box)
My friend made the same thing twice. !!!!
The upper cutlery tray is missing. He should make it before the parts are shipped.
Of course I take all 3 boxes and will transfer another 70,00 € to the Raiffeisenbank Bütthard-Gaukönigshofen.
Yours sincerely
Roland
