IKEA Is Selling a Small Portable Kitchen Storage Gem for Just $5

Regardless of the season, I love any excuse to gather with friends: sitting on a sunny patio enjoying finger sandwiches, cozying up indoors with a jigsaw puzzle, or sitting by the television watching a movie. I’m always keeping an eye out for great tabletop storage finds to include in these get-togethers, and IKEA just released the CHOKLADHAJ Portable Organizer that would work perfectly for so many occasions. Plus, it’s only $5!

The CHOKLADHAJ Portable Organizer is a small wooden tabletop organizer measuring 8 1/4” high, 4 3/4” long, and 4 1/4” wide. Designed to hold kitchen items including spice jars, condiment bottles, cutlery, or napkins, it’s a versatile piece that’s spacious enough to hold your essentials or to use elsewhere in the home. The organizer is well-made (it’s crafted out of pine wood), as well as practical with an easy-to-access handle for grabbing while setting a table or cooking a meal.

My favorite part about the IKEA CHOKLADHAJ Portable Organizer has to be the shape of its handle. It reminds me of a miniature cutting board, and it adds a nice pop of contrast to the item’s design so it isn’t entirely square. I also like how the organizer consists of two large sections (as opposed to lots of smaller ones, as many items that hold cutlery tend to have), which allows you to be more flexible with what you store inside. 

If you’re like me and love to snack while watching a good movie or TV show, this little organizer could really come in handy. It’s large enough to hold a drink or two, as well as some treats. I can also totally envision this organizer working in a dorm room, home office, or even a classroom setting to corral stationery together. 

Shoppers have been enjoying the new IKEA CHOKLADHAJ Portable Organizer, remarking on its sleek and spacious design. “Super chic and practical,” said one buyer, with others saying it “does the job perfectly” and “adds restaurant charm.” You could even use it for outdoor dining — although it’s recommended to take your organizer back indoors after use if you think it’s going to rain to protect the health of the wood.
