The baskets come in a set of three and there are three finish options to choose from, as well.

If your pantry has wire shelving, these handy dividers can help keep its contents more organized. The wire panels come in multiple sizes to fit 12- or 16-inch shelves, and they’re easy to install with no tools needed.

• Easy to install
• Sturdy construction won’t tip or bend
• Multiple sizes available for different shelf depths

Cons:

• Only compatible with wire shelving
