The drainage holes are the feature that matters. Cutlery put away damp sits in water at the bottom of a closed holder, which is how a caddy starts to smell and how stainless steel develops spots — holes in the base let that water out instead. The three marked cylinders separate spoons, forks and chopsticks, so anyone in the house can put cutlery away correctly without thinking about it. The oak base holds the cylinders together as one unit and gives it enough weight to stay put when someone pulls a spoon out. At 9.2 x 3.3 x 5.1 inches with 2.5 inch cylinders, it is compact enough for a counter or a dining table.

Buying guide
Stand cutlery handles up — it is more hygienic, since people grip the handle rather than the eating end, and it makes grabbing a spoon one-handed possible. Even with drainage, shake cutlery before putting it away rather than putting it in soaking. Empty and rinse the cylinders monthly, since residue collects at the base. Keep the oak base dry and wipe rather than soak it, oiling lightly once a year in a hot kitchen. Place it within reach of the dining table rather than across the kitchen, so it actually gets used at mealtimes.
How it compares
Against a drawer insert, a countertop caddy keeps cutlery visible and reachable at the table. Against a single pot, three marked cylinders mean nobody has to sort through mixed cutlery. For a large household, a drawer organiser holds more.
