Sometimes I think there is never enough space, however, the more space I have, the more I fill it with "stuff". That said, to my right I have 2 cutlery holders, they are square and start off shallow and go up to deeper spots for my scissors, rotary cutters, etc. I could probably get by with one, however, I use the second to hold those items I may not use often, but want them handy. I do wish I had a little bit more room with a flat space where I can keep my magnetic pin cushion along with several spools of thread and bobbins for the projects I'm working on.
