One of the best mods we have doneso far is to cut a small sheet of see through plexiglass into 1" strips and added it to the front of the shelves in our bathroom cabinet to avoid things falling out of there when you open the door. The small sheet was $16 at Homedepot and there was enough of it left, so we could add another shelf in there. I wish it was easier for me in here to post some of the before and after pics of this mod. I can highly recommend it. It did not take long and now nothing falls out and I can get a lot more things into that cabinet and the fronts are see through. I can see everything right away in there. Thank you for all the wonderful posts. I have learned so much on this forum. I just dont know how to add pictures to my post. Hopefully you will get my drift.

I have a pretty big medicine cabinet, and use something similar to this to keep stuff corralled in there. drawer organizersIf your shelves are at least 4" deep and 12" wide, the long, skinny one of these will work.The ones linked to aren't the exact ones I have; mine are ancient and probably no longer made, and they didn't have honeycombs or anything. But they're the same idea--they come flat and you fold up the sides to make the box.Mine are completely clear, while these are frosted. And on mine, anyway, the plastic is thin enough that you can cut it if you need to make a notch or lower one of the sides. These look like they could but cut, too.One advantage they have is there's a bottom on there, so if something leaks it might not make such a big mess. I've been using mine for 12 years of fulltiming and they're still working. Actually, one of them has split at the front seam, where the front wall meets the floor of the box (I think I had too much stuff in it), and I haven't even taped it--it still works fine for holding everything in.

What happened? The way it is in your quote of my post is how I thought I did it (I remember calling the link "drawer organizers"). But now my post shows the URL as a link that doesn't work. I'm confused. But organized.

Wife found small containers that she placed small items in and I added bungee cords across in front of the shelves even in the pantry and some of the overhead bins.navegator
