I bought the Lenox flatware set that was on clearance and now I have to find a way to organize it in the drawer. We will use the dessert forks, cocktail forks and iced teaspoons so I need something to organize it all in the drawer. All told I need 8 sections that will each fit service for 12.

Any suggestions?

Mine didn't fit in one organizer, so I bought two organizers and have my flatware in two drawers. My drawers are narrow, so an organizer that fits inside my drawer only holds 4 sections across and one along the top or bottom. I keep forks, knives, and spoons in one and the other pieces in the second drawer.

I have a 12 place setting with regular utensils, plus and extra slot, but am adding on for just my regular silverware drawer, and have plenty of room, but my holder is Rubbermaid, and only has slots for my knives, 2 size forks, 2 size spoons, and extra slot, but am looking at an expandable bamboo tray like this to help organize better, so to add the additional pieces.......Hopes this helps.............Cool This is the best that I have found so far......and it is adjustable to fit your drawer size...........{#emotions_dlg.mellow}

I keep the cocktail forks and some small coffee spoons in a short crystal pitcher that just fits them. I have an antique tall celery vase that I put iced tea spoons in. They stay on a buffet, a kitchen window sill, or even the center island and are handy to grab when needed! They are pretty too and easy to sit on the table or by the desserts.

I saw those adjustable bamboo ones at Costco the other day. I'm going to pick one up since I can't fit 12 knives even in the one I've been using.

Ok, just got back from Costco. They had the 2 pack of the expandable bamboo organizers, one for flatware, one for your utility drawer both for $29.99. It works perfect for this set as I could put the iced tea spoons and the knives on the expandable ends and then all four fork sized in the middle top and both sizes of spoons on the bottom.

But still, even with more slots, don't you still have the problem of piling eight or twelve knives or forks or spoons in one slot? I know I do.

The organizers have bigger sections. Everything fit great.
