Material
Most cutlery trays are made from either wood, plastic or metal. Wooden trays are the most expensive, but they have a stylish and naturally grippy finish. Wooden trays are slightly harder to clean, but they’re a great stylish option.
Plastic trays are practical and affordable. They’re easy to clean and suitable for any home. They are perfect if you’re kitting out your kitchen on a budget!
Finally, there are metal wire trays. These complement most styles of kitchens, often with a decorative design. Metal trays are very durable and hygienic, but if you regularly put your cutlery away slightly damp, you should purchase a tray that’s rust resistant.
Dimensions
Whether you have a small or a large cutlery drawer, you should be able to find a tray to fit. Ensure you measure your drawer carefully to check there’s not going to be a huge amount of room on either side.
Many cutlery trays are expandable, so they can fit in a variety of different drawer sizes. Some expand to set sizes, while others can be adjusted to any measurement you require. Ensure that your cutlery tray is the correct depth, as a tray that’s too deep won’t fit into a shallow drawer.
Compartments
Standard cutlery trays have 5 compartments, but some will have more or less. Expandable cutlery trays will sometimes open up a couple of new compartments for extra utensils. The largest trays on the market may have up to 12 different sections.
