This is a plastic cutlery organiser designed specifically to fit inside Blum's TANDEMBOX antaro drawer systems. The insert divides your drawer into compartments of different sizes, giving knives, forks, spoons and kitchen utensils their own dedicated spaces.
Where It Fits
The insert sits directly into a TANDEMBOX antaro drawer box, which would typically be your top drawer near the dishwasher or preparation area. It's sized at 712mm wide by 423mm deep, so you'll need a drawer box of at least those dimensions for it to work in your kitchen.
How It Works
The insert simply drops into your drawer box and sits flush with the base. The compartments are different sizes to accommodate everything from teaspoons to serving spoons, with longer sections for knives and wider areas for bulkier utensils. You can lift the entire insert out if you need to clean it thoroughly or rearrange your drawer.
Why It Matters
Without organisation, cutlery drawers become jumbled messes where you're always hunting for the right utensil. This insert means everything has a place and stays there, even when the drawer slides in and out repeatedly throughout the day. Your cutlery stays separated and protected from scratching against other pieces.
Design Consideration
The anthracite grey colour works well with most kitchen colour schemes and doesn't show fingerprints or water marks as readily as lighter colours might. However, this insert only works with TANDEMBOX antaro systems, so if your drawers use a different mechanism, you'll need to look at other options. The 50mm height also means it takes up some of your drawer's depth.
Build Quality
The plastic construction feels substantial rather than flimsy, and it's designed to handle the daily loading and unloading of cutlery without cracking or wearing at the edges. The smooth finish makes it easy to wipe clean, and because it's removable, you can wash it properly when needed.
Consider whether your drawer dimensions match this insert's requirements, and whether the compartment sizes suit the cutlery and utensils you actually use in your kitchen.
