I bought this in black to try to organize the assortment of baby items taking up space on my kitchen counter -- bottles, cups, etc. I use this placed right on the countertop, rather than wall-mounted, since my wall cabinets don't leave enough wall space over the base cabinets to accommodate something like this. Although it did tidy up some of the clutter, it seems like it conquered only a small portion of what I have lying around on the counter on any given day.

Its footprint is actually fairly large, for an item that's meant to organize and streamline. Space-wise, it takes up just as much room as the collection of bottles and other baby items I previously had lined up on the counter, but even with this organizer, I still have some things that didn't fit that are still taking up counter space. (Which would probably not be so much of a point if I had been able to wall-mount this, but really, who wants to put baby bottles on the kitchen wall?)

The four largest compartments are wide enough to accommodate the bottles I use -- Born Free wide-neck bottles (both the 5-oz. and 9-oz. sizes). There are two other compartments that are *almost* wide enough to hold these bottles, but it's too tight of a squeeze to be practical. I'm still not quite sure what to put in these two compartments. (I stuck a little plastic cup and an empty Cheerios canister in these two spots, but really only because they were sitting empty.) If you use standard-sized bottles (not the wide necks), these would work just fine. As it is, I am able to stash two 9-oz. Born Free bottles in the top row and two 5-oz. bottles in the bottom row.

The compartments in the bottom row are pretty short/shallow, however, so even the 5-oz. bottles stick out a bit more than I'd like. For this reason, and to take up less room on the counter, I wish this had been somehow designed to be wee bit more vertical when placed on the countertop, to make the bottom row of cubbies a tad deeper, and to have a slightly smaller footprint.

Can't store sippy or straw cups with handles in any of these compartments -- no room for the handles. I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking older kids' cups without the handles might be too wide to fit as well.

As for the small compartments, I sort of wish there were more than three. I put my daughter's dropper bottle of liquid multivitamins in one of these small cubbies, some straw-cleaning brushes in another, and some baby spoons in the other. The two small ones in the bottom row are, as mentioned, fairly shallow, though, so the spoons stick out a little.

Maybe as time goes by I'll figure it all out and find the *perfect* thing for each spot, even the short, shallow ones, but for now, I'm sort of just OK on this for baby feeding items. It certainly is easier to look at than the previous mass of stuff sitting out naked, but I'm still left with a smaller mass of stuff sitting out naked, and not really enough counter space to put a second Boon Stash. I guess it's time to purge my cabinets again to hunt for extra space.

I have this in white and absolutely love it, not only for it's streamlined look, but also for its convenience and practicality. I have mine hung on the wall above my baby girl's changing table. Inside the cubbies I am able to store all kinds of baby items: hand sanitizer, binkies with their caps and little clip-on tethers, q-tips, baby headbands, and her multi-vitamins. All of these things would otherwise be in a drawer, but now they are right where I need them and they look so much cuter in this than on a typical white shelf.

I am not particularly organized (or at all!) so apparently this genetic trait got passed down. My tots' arts and crafts table is pretty sad, they hardly have room to do anything. I've tried boxes, buckets, and special trays. So now I'm trying this, the Boon Stash organizer. It has different "cups" to organize various tools and crayons, etc. But that is, of course, it is used properly. If this does not work for my tots, I am going to (clean it and then) use it to organize my makeup! Or actually, I might just get another one for myself. I can put brushes in one, mascaras in another, lip glosses
in a couple of them, tweezers, lip liners - I can list everything but you get the idea =)

I use this for all sorts of babies little things that I need to have near the changing table, it works well, and looks great!

Love this boon organizer. It's much nicer than the usual stand drying racks. My toddler's straw sippy cups fit well and a variety of spoons, forks, straws and other things my toddler uses daily.

This is been great for my 3 year old to organize her arts & crafts supplies, crayons, scissors, glue, ect. We never put it on the wall it just sits on her table.

I have a modern nursery with a circle theme. I have two of these one in black and one in white. The white is in the nursery setting next to my chaning table (I have the Baby's Dream Cube Collection [White] the top of the changing table slides out to create a desk adjacent to the changing pad) It is nice for keeping The small items that we would just set out, keep in a drawer or in a closed container. We keep out pacifiers, butt ointment, baby hair brush, thermometer, lotion, vaseline and a few other daily used items. The other I have mounted on the wall (which inverts the direction of the organizer) in the dining room above the high chair. This is real handy for keeping spoons, sporks and especially wet naps. When our little guy makes a mess I don't have to get up to get a wet wipe, they are right there. I also keep a rolled up wash cloth in the big pocket for the bigger messes :).

I do wish they offered a deeper model that could maybe hold larger items (8 oz. bottles or toys maybe?)

Overall we love this organizer, I mean designer shelf, I would recommend this to anyone who likes things organized. It just looks cool, modern and different.

The Boon Stash is a cool product and does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's been useful for having the things I use most with my son (baby spoons, his favorite bottles, pacifiers) handy, instead of having to dig around in different cabinets, etc., looking for them. My only complaint is that it should be a little bigger and have a few more places for things.

I purchased this item as a diaper changing station product organizer and installed it on the wall. Before even getting it out of the package I almost put it back in the box to return it. The packaging was so excessive it took forever to cut the product out of the plastic. Once I got it out though, and installed it on the wall, it worked fine. It is smaller than I had thoght and some of the cylinders are so narrow and deep that if you put the wrong thing in there, you might never get it out- my hands are small, but not that small. It works though for holding Q-tips, cotton balls, diaper cream, binkys etc, so still handly.

I'm fairly happy with it for the price, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it, as I think there are products out there that do the same thing and maybe even more.

I LOVE this for the top of my son's dresser. It holds a thermometer, nasal aspirator, diaper cream, Tylenol, etc. Good-looking, modern product that will have many uses in the future. I HIGHLY recommend. It does not hold large things like cups and bottles, I assume the intent is for it to hold smaller items that tend to clutter the changing table and dresser. For that purpose, it's EXCELLENT.
