Sizing tool
Enter the measurements of the shelf you are trying to organize and we will show which of our standard bin sizes fit, how many you can line up side by side, and the space left over. The drawing is to scale, so you can see the arrangement before you buy anything.
Your shelf drawn to scale with 6 small bins.

Measure once
Use a tape measure across the shelf, then front to back, then from the shelf to the one above it. Small differences matter: an inch of depth is often what decides between two bin sizes.
Leave room to reach
Keep about two inches of clearance above the tallest bin, and never plan a row so tight that a hand cannot slide in. A shelf that fits fewer bins is easier to keep tidy.
One size per shelf
Matching bins across a single shelf reads as intentional and lets you swap contents later. Vary sizes between shelves, not within one.
