Good timing! There was still enough daylight and I'm done working for the day. :) Craftlady, I asked for the even spacing, which suits me. You could do the same thing with differing spacing, and have it adjustable just by making more notches and putting the dividers where you want them at the moment. The dividers are fat C shaped in front to make it easy to pull things in and out between them. They're square at the back. I was wrong about the interior box. It can be/has been done that way, but my cabinetmaker just put in the fixed shelf and floor shelf that the notches are in against the sides of the cabinet. It would be easier to do with a full box if this is a retrofit, I'd think. Embarrassing. I didn't see the dust until I started editing the pictures, or I would have cleaned before taking the shot. It's almost time to start cleaning for Pesach, anyway, but a little late in the day today. So. The top one shows the cupboard. Then there's a detail with one of the dividers pulled partway out, and a closeup of the slots the dividers fit in, the one divider still pulled out and the other in place.

I cleaned my file up a while back, but here is my short list of links from my search for a knife solution. I can't personally advocate for any of these products or vendors; however, I did grow up with a wooden slotted rack on the counter (knives drop vertically between the rails); and it was very handy. Not child-safe. My in-laws had the magnetic knife strip, on a cabinet to the side of their sink. That system worked well for them. Again, however, children could climb up there and cause mischief. We're going to lay our knives flat in the thin drawer under the cooktop, with a lock on the drawer. We're still waiting to get the drawer back from the carpenter. I expect the whole arrangement to be very annoying, but I know my kids won't be able to get in there for a long time.

I used three inexpensive organizer racks/tray dividers I got from Walmart in my over-the-ovens-cabinet. I had intended them to be a temporary solution until I sprung for the Rev-A-Shelf full-height (and much more expensive) dividers, but the ones from Walmart worked so well that I decided not to spend the extra money on the Rev-A-Shelf dividers that would have to be permanently attached to work. It turns out the spacing b/w the tines/dividers and their height are perfect! Each space holds: Three of the Wilton stacking cooling racks (I have 9:..3 for gluten-free foods and 6 for everything else - and they come in sets of three). Two muffin tins stacked together More than 4 cookie sheets etc. I store the tray items on their sides so the length extends back into the depth of the cabinet (where I wouldn't be able to reach other items stored back there anyway...so I made use of the space this way). I put the dividers on the shelf rather than the cabinet bottom. This way, I can use the space b/w the cabinet bottom and the shelf to store long platters and my griddle...again, they are stored so the length goes into the depth of the cabinet. This arrangement allows me to use the full height of the cabinet - even though the top might be too high to reach. To remove/replace items in the tray dividers, I just need to grasp the bottom corner of the item...so even if the top of the item is too tall to reach, I can still reach the bottom corner. To remove/replace the platters and griddle, all I need to grasp is the end that sits in the front of the cabinet. Some of the "numbers": The overall width of my oven cabinet is 31.5". With 1/2" walls, that gives me a 30.5" opening The cabinet is full-depth (24" or so). The tray dividers are each 10" wide overall with 5 tines/dividers and 4 spaces b/w those 5 tines/dividers The spacing b/w each tine/divider is 2" Each tine/divider is 8" tall The shelf the dividers sit on is 4.25" above the bottom of the cabinet (the shelf is 3/4" thick) The overall interior vertical height of the cabinet is 18-3/4" Here's a picture: Here is a link that might be useful: Mainstays Organizer Rack at Walmart

I agree with Rhome's post above. I wouldn't want to use a drawer for vertical storage, and I also wouldn't want ceramics and glass on their sides. My vertical storage was more serendipitous. In laying out my cabinets, there was a 9" space left over next to the fridge, no matter how we re-arranged. That became base-cabinet vertical storage for my cookie sheets and roasting pans. There is one divider in it, and I can keep long items in it like half-sheet pans. Things like square bakers, my Emile Henry ceramic lasagna pan, muffin tins, pie plates and the like are stored horizontally in other cabinets and drawers. Because the vertical storage is in the base cabinet, it is easy to see and easy to reach. I really like it. I would have had to re-arrange my entire layout if I couldn't have found a use for those 9", and it all worked out great. Many people mention using above-the-fridge space for vertical storage. For me, I wanted to take advantage of that 24" deep and tall space (I have 9' ceiling and cabinets go up to the ceiling). I didn't think vertical storage there would work for me--I don't have many cookie sheets and roasting pans. Instead, the cabinets above the fridge house my huge 14" saute pan with handle that won't fit anywhere else, my electric griddle, paper towels, and large serving platters. As to the height, I am fairly short, and need a stepstool for above-the-fridge, so I don't want things there that I am pulling out all the time. HTH.
