OUR METHODOLOGY

How we picked

Two decades of laundry retail — across Perth showrooms and an Australia-wide online store — shaped this list. Here’s the lens we used.

20+ years of laundry retail

We’ve sold laundry storage from our Perth showrooms since the early 2000s. Every pick here has survived years of in-store and online customer feedback.

Built to last beyond a season

We bias towards rust-resistant aluminium, stainless steel and powder-coated frames over cheap alternatives that need replacing every twelve months.

Verified by Aussie buyers

Every product here has live Judge.me reviews from real Soko & Co customers — not generic imports or paid Amazon placements.

Designed for your space

We rank across tight apartments, busy family homes and stylish living rooms — because one airer never fits every laundry.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

Pulled straight from the inboxes and showroom conversations of our Perth team.

I have a tiny pantry. Where do I start?

Start with our 45cm pantry shelf on the most-used middle shelf — it doubles capacity immediately. Add the can rack for tinned goods. Most small-pantry resets are these two products plus drawer dividers.

Bamboo or polymer — which lasts longer?

For load-bearing pantry shelves, bamboo with a powder-coated steel skeleton (#1, #2) outlasts plastic by decades. For inside drawers, polymer (cutlery trays) is the right choice — easier to wipe clean.

Are any of these dishwasher safe?

The polymer cutlery trays (#3) are top-rack dishwasher safe. Bamboo pieces (shelves, plate stackers, drawer dividers) are hand-wash only — a damp cloth and dry is enough.

How does this list pair with kitchen bins?

Most kitchens need both storage solutions AND a smart bin. See our Top 10 Kitchen Bins guide — the pull-out bin (#1 there) sits beautifully alongside the pantry shelves on this list.

I want a custom cutlery insert for a non-standard drawer.

Use our custom cutlery selector — you enter drawer dimensions and we cut to fit. The Sky 9-Compartment (#3 here) is our most-popular off-the-shelf size if your drawer is standard.

Can I see these in person?

Yes — all ten picks are on display at our Myaree, Karrinyup and Carousel showrooms. Our team can help you measure your pantry and select the right combination.
