We have a thin drawer next to the dishwasher.  This drawer takes up about 3/4 of the drawer with an 1-2 inch gap to the side for serving spoons and knives.  Beware of drawer height.  Our drawer is not very tall so the forks barely clear the top rail of the drawer.  If the drawer were 1/2 higher it would be just fine.  Only holds utensils for 6 or so settings.
