How well does it hold the silverware? Do the pieces stay put?

it holds all of the pieces very well. We have both large and place sized knives and no problem with either staying in the knife holders on the lid. Everything inside is very secure.

Yes, the pieces stay put beautifully. I am very happy with my purchase and use it all the time.

It holds the flatware well, except that the knives in our set are rather large, and are a bit heavy in the knife holder. If we had a lighter, slightly smaller knife, it would work better.

I have an entire silverware set in the drawer and it's holding up just fine. It's definitely not made of pure wood or anything, you can feel its cheapness but it looks really good and has been a great accent to my apartment. With regard to the weight, I'd say unless you're putting super heavy things in the basket, you don't need to worry about it at all.

I have silver for 12 people, 5 pieces each and many serving pieces, including cake servers, butter knifes tea spoons etc. and it all fit nicely. Go for it. It is a beautiful case and everything fit nicely.

Yes, of course, it does. And it's quite sturdy. I use it mostly for the utensils I wash by hand -- knives, large serving spoons, turners, spatulas, etc. If you also have the Totally Bamboo Eco Dish Rack, this rests on the side of it, though not snuggly. It won't fall off, and I wouldn't say it was a deal breaker by any means, but just an observation.

Strength wise, yes, it's very sturdy and strong. The slats hold plates and dishes upright very well, but the sides of the rack are not very high. I keep this rack in the sink, so anything larger like pots/pans can lean up against the sides of the sink. If kept on the countertop, a pot or pan will not have anything to lean up against so although the rack is strong enough, it may not be the right design for that purpose.

I put plates in it. I also use a dishwasher, so this isn't enough for a full dinner worth of utensils and plates and all. But I find it works for me. I wanted something that fit into the sink, and this works.

The pieces are held so tightly I don't see how they would slide around. Depending on the size of the drawer the whole tray might move but the pieces themselves would be secure. If the tray slides double sided sticky tape or some kind of sticky material should keep it in place.

no. and i really dont like it. it looks too short for the flatware. I suppose when its really full, the flatware wont look like its falling over. i bought it for the look and price. i really dont like the look but didnt want to spend $150 for this item, which were the only ones i really liked. sorry. i am no help!

This is a beautiful cabinet. In addition, it keeps the silverware tarnish free. I did not have any problems or damage with the shipping.

Ours has held up great! We have probably adjusted 2/3 x over the year because I knocked it loose and unaligned the magnets while cleaning the sink, but I did hit it pretty hard. I love the design, I love that it stores dish towels or brushes out of sight.. and allows them to dry into the sink (and not on the counter). I am very satisfied.

I just installed one on a 30" drawer that holds a lot of silverware. It's heavy enough that i was concerned one wouldn't be enough, but it works as it should.

I put in the normal sized silverware and had no problem with them tipping over

Absolutely! We purchased this as a functional piece of kitchen furniture, that is beautiful as well. One basket holds our cutlery, the other small pot/pan lids. Simply treat the wood block surface per the manufacturer's directions.

The silverware basket comes off and the rest of the basket folds almost flat. It folds to just over twice the width. Once the basket is removed just lift it up and it will fold. Gravity holds it open so there is no hardware or anything to complicate what you want to do. I have owned this now for almost a year and it's used every day with no complaints whatsoever.

Quite a bit. It took us some time to put it together but everything went together easily and all pieces and parts were included. We love this very much. It holds a lot of our dishes and I feel is well worth the effort!

The forks and spoons can definitely slip around a bit, especially when fully stacked. They're secure at the neck but not at the handles. The knives stay secure because they're not stacked. If you are looking to completely prevent the pieces from touching each other really the only way to go would be individual felt sleeves that hold up to five pieces (a full place setting) each and then roll up for storage. I use these for some other flatware that I don't use as frequently (as they're a bit less easy to access than a tray).

I have tools and some very heavy items in mine and it works great. This is one of the best items I have purchased for my garage workshop. I'm sure that your heavy silverware will not be a problem
