Birch Spice Drawer Insert for a Dedicated Spice Drawer

This Omega National S95 Series spice drawer insert is a solid baltic birch plywood tray sized to convert a standard drawer into organized, flat spice storage that keeps every jar visible and within reach.

Key Features

• Baltic birch plywood construction gives the tray a smooth, splinter-free surface that holds up to daily kitchen use.
• 16 inches wide by 19-1/2 inches deep fits a common drawer opening while leaving room for a face frame or cabinet wall clearance.
• 2-inch tray depth keeps spice jars lying flat and lids or labels facing up for quick identification.
• Non-handed orientation installs without a fixed left or right side, so it drops into the drawer from either direction.
• Unfinished birch surface accepts stain, paint, or a clear topcoat to match the surrounding cabinetry.

Flat Spice Storage That Puts Every Jar in View

The biggest frustration with a standard spice drawer is digging through jars stacked on each other to find the one in the back. This insert solves that by holding jars lying flat in a shallow tray, so the labels face up and the whole collection is visible in a single glance. Pulling the drawer open puts every jar within reach without rearranging anything. The 2-inch depth is sized for standard spice jars and small herb tins rather than taller pantry bottles, so the drawer closes cleanly over the contents.

Material and Finish

The tray is milled from baltic birch plywood, a stable, void-free sheet material that holds its shape in a kitchen environment and machines to a smooth edge. The birch surface arrives unfinished, which means it can be stained to match a walnut or cherry interior, painted to a white or gray, or sealed with a clear coat and left natural. Because the finish is applied in the shop or on site, the tray integrates with the drawer box rather than reading as an afterthought insert.

Where This Insert Fits

Cabinet shops building custom kitchens reach for this tray when a client wants a dedicated spice drawer as part of the design, not a plastic organizer dropped in afterward. Kitchen designers specify it in drawer runs near the range or prep area, where a flat, labeled-up spice layout saves time during cooking. It also works in a remodel where an existing drawer is being upgraded: the non-handed orientation and standard sizing mean it fits into a range of drawer openings without custom modification. Homeowners doing a drawer refresh get the same clean result by dropping the tray in and adding a finish coat before reinstalling the drawer front.
