Want more storage under your bathroom or kitchen sink but perplexed on how to do that since there’s a pipe in the way? This U-shaped organizer can help. It’s designed to leave room for the pipe, and you can adjust its width for a perfect fit. In fact, you can also adjust the height, so you can store short or small items underneath the shelf.
One reviewer wrote: “We were extremely skeptical, but needed a solution under our kitchen sink as it was becoming a disaster! [...] After installing this thing, we have more space than we need and we can finally see everything we have stored under the sink! It’s amazing. This adjusts to fit any configuration, great for small spaces, and I would definitely recommend it!” — Ashley
