Deep pantry shelves can quickly become a black hole for spices, sauces and snacks. Reaching for anything at the back can signal an avalanche of condiments.
That’s where Kmart’s $14 pull-out cabinet drawer comes in. Shoppers are raving about how it turns messy, hard-to-reach cupboards into neat, easy-access storage.

- Kmart shoppers say this $14 pull-out cabinet drawer makes deep cupboards easier to organise.

- Shoppers praise its smooth sliding design and say it’s helped transform cluttered storage spaces.
How the pull-out drawer works
A drawer sits on runners that attach to your existing shelf. Instead of reaching blindly into the back of the cupboard and knocking over three glass bottles, you pull the drawer out, and everything comes out where you can actually see it.
Our verdict
My pantry was a disaster. The shelves are deep but small, so everything gets crammed in, and half of it ends up lost at the back. On busy days, I end up shoving things at the front and hoping nothing falls out. When I saw these drawers, I was keen to try them.
My excitement was short-lived when I opened the box and saw screws. Drilling into my shelves was not on my to-do list. But after reading the instructions, I realised they also included sticky strips. I went with those, and installing the drawer was easy and uneventful (in a good way). I did stick mine on a bit crooked, but it still works perfectly, so I’m not too fussed.
Once I filled it up with condiments and all the random bits and pieces, the drawer slid in and out smoothly. I only bought one to start with, but I’ll definitely go back for more to finish sorting out the rest of my cupboard.
If you do stuff up the placement, the adhesive is very strong, so make sure you line the drawer up before you press it down.
