Product review (5 stars): Can fit side by side!
The house we moved into had a broken silverware basket that was in the middle of the bottom rack. I bought this one bc it split into two slim pieces if needed....I measured the space on the side and realized it would fit. It fits perfectly! I have the two slim pieces side by side and now I have a big open space in the bottom middle for big bowls, etc. I also removed the tops...I like having the open buckets instead.
