An 11-Inch Stainless Steel Sink Tip-Out Tray Built for the Space in Front of the Sink

This Rev-A-Shelf 6591 Series tip-out tray converts the dead space behind a false drawer front at the sink into a working storage compartment, sized to hold sponges, scrubbers, and small cleaning tools out of sight but within easy reach.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction stands up to the wet, humid environment directly in front of a kitchen sink.
• Tab stop included controls how far the tray tips open, keeping contents from spilling and protecting the door from over-travel.
• 11 inches long fills a standard false drawer front at the sink with usable tray depth behind it.
• Shallow 2-1/8-inch depth fits into the narrow cavity behind most sink false fronts without interfering with plumbing below.
• 3-inch height contains upright items like a bottle brush or folded scrub pads without crowding the door.

Turning a False Front into a Functional Compartment

Most sink cabinets have one or two false drawer fronts that look like drawers but open onto nothing. This tray fills that gap. It mounts to the cabinet frame so the front tips outward when pulled, revealing a stainless tray deep enough for the items that collect on the sink deck. Sponges, soap-filled scrubbers, a folded dish cloth, or a small brush all fit without the counter clutter. When the front closes, it returns flush and nothing is visible from outside.

Material Built for a Wet Zone

Stainless steel is the practical choice for this location. The area directly in front of a kitchen sink collects drips, splashes, and humidity, and stainless resists the moisture damage that would degrade a plastic or powder-coated tray over time. The finish also wipes clean quickly, which matters in a spot that catches soap residue and food spray alongside water. The tab stop is a mechanical detail that earns its place here: it keeps the tray from flipping all the way open and dropping whatever is inside, and it protects the hinge connection from repeated over-extension.

Where This Tray Fits Best

This is the right choice for a kitchen renovation or refresh where the sink cabinet has a false drawer front that is currently wasted space. It works equally well for cabinet shops and installers specifying hardware packages for new kitchen builds, and for homeowners adding storage to an existing setup without touching the cabinetry itself. The stainless finish coordinates naturally with undermount and stainless farmhouse sinks, and it reads as a deliberate finish choice rather than a budget compromise. For a wider sink cabinet with two false fronts, additional trays can be paired to cover both openings.
