Not all cabinets are created equal and we don't all have the money for a kitchen renovation so off-the-rack shelving units or risers are a great option. Basically with the right size and shape you can double your storage by creating a second level on the same shelf. Sure, sometimes you can stack things, but you're basically doubling your work when it comes to taking things out or putting things into your cabinets. Plus you're more likely to drop and damage your dishes. Make sure you measure carefully and find the one that fits. If you're using these under a sink, I recommend chrome or other non-wood options.
