Tips for organising deep under counter kitchen cabinets

Hi! Does anyone have any tips/ tricks for deep under kitchen cabinets?

until we get the open shelves up, we only have under the counter cabinets. They’re so deep (60cm). And all the stuff In the back isn’t really accessible. In our rental houses we’ve usually mainly used the top cabinets and ignored the bottoms ones or only stores things in the front half. But we can’t really do that as we don’t have any other storage. so any tips/ tricks?

Buy some boxes that you can put stuff in and pull them out when you need them. You can also get internal shelf things which could be useful. What sort of stuff are you putting in them? Food or crockery?

It's not too late to get pan drawers. You can get some that the cabinet door attaches to, and others that fit inside. You can usefully have two deep ones, plus a shallow one at the top for knives and utensils.

Also available are slide-out shelves and metal racks on ball-bearing runners.

Blum Tandem are very popular, and Hafele are also good.

The own-brand B&Q I found very bad.

Magnet own-brand is (was?) rebadged Blum

thanks both. I’ve got some boxes but they don’t go all the way back.
@PigletJohn we’re trying minimise the amount we spend on this kitchen as it’s pretty sh*t and will be tearing it out as soon as we can afford to.

Then I'd go for the plastic crates with lids.

Not too big as they will be very heavy when laden.

Look inside the cabs to see if they already have extra holes drilled for shelf supports.

Plastic baskets from Amazon with least priority things at the back. Can easily move them in and out to get to back ones etc.
