Product review (5 stars): Grids Are Helpful
This holder is great because of the grids on top which force utensils to stay separate. My son thinks the grids are a waste of time and energy and won't use them but then spoons nest and have to be redone. I use half the holder grid-free for non-standard utensils such as tongs and peelers.
Try to limit constantly flapping the grids up and down, because they will wear out. I'm actually talking about wearing out after five years, but the holder will last longer if you use it completely filled each time, minimizing times used. Even without any grids at all, it's nice. Now I have a gridded and a grid-less one, quite useful.
