The Smart Design medium drawer is an adjustable storage option that uses telescopic rails to fit various shelf depths. Made from BPA-free plastic, likely PETG, it provides clear visibility for items that often get lost in "dead zones." The unit is designed to fit universal glass shelves that are 0.5 inches thick or less. It is particularly effective for high-turnover, lightweight items such as deli meats or fresh herbs.
The telescopic adjustment rails are made from an ABS blend. While these allow for flexibility during installation, they rely on a friction fit that can exhibit flex if the drawer is loaded asymmetrically. Users have noted that if the drawer is extended more than halfway while heavily loaded, it may sag. The spring-loaded clamping hooks provide the necessary tension to hold the unit in place, though this tension may naturally decrease over hundreds of use cycles.
For cleaning, it is vital to avoid high-heat dishwasher settings. Even if labeled as top-rack safe, the plastic is susceptible to stress-crazing and warping when exposed to intense heat. Hand-washing is the recommended method to preserve the structural integrity of the rails and the clarity of the bin. This drawer is not intended for wire-shelf refrigerators, as the clamping mechanism requires a flat glass surface to remain secure.
If you find you need more height and would prefer a stackable bin that sits on the shelf, the Sorbus 2-pack offers a different organizational style.
