Note: I believe that Mary Anne Dable's review is misplaced because this particular item is Le Creuset's SMALL utensil holder, not the LARGE one.
The biggest complaint about the Le Creuset utensil holders (if you read all the reviews from different colored ones, for their Large and Small ones) is that they are either too big or too small. So I will give my feedback on that so that you can decide which is the perfect size for you.
Le Creuset's large utensil holder (not this one, but on Amazon) is for the "constant cook," as it will comfortably hold about 20 large utensils. If you have the average "occasional cook's" selection of a few spatulas, spoons, and slotted spoon, then the large utensil holder will be TOO large and all of your items will slant annoyingly to one side. But if you are like me and cook all the time and have tons of spoons etc, then the large size is awesome! P.S. If this is too big for you, fortunately almost every other utensil holder in the world is smaller than this one, and will probably suit your needs perfectly :)
Le Creuset's small utensil holder (this one) is only for short utensils. It is not going to be tall enough to hold regular stirring spoons, spatulas, slotted spoons, tongs, etc without looking extremely silly and probably falling out. However, it is perfect for utensils that are approximately half that height. It holds my garlic press, melon baller, pizza cutter, basting brush, can opener, thermometer, mini frosting knife, swivel peeler, pie server, brownie server, and fluted pastry wheel at just the right height. It holds about 12 of these "small" utensils and stands at about 2/3 the height of the large utensil holder, also with a smaller diameter.
I got both in Red and they sit side by side on my counter. They freed up 1.5 drawers of space and I like how handy they are to grab things out of.
Best luck in finding the right utensil holder for you!

Keep kitchen tools and accessories neatly stored and within easy reach with the help of this charming utensil crock by Le Creuset. Measuring approximately 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 3-3/5 inches, the round-shaped crock sits sturdily on the countertop, providing a 28-ounce capacity with a more shallow interior to fit smaller, shorter utensils--from spatulas and whisks to wooden spoons and ladles. Even more, the crock displays an attractive glaze that fades from dark at the bottom to lighter at the flared top where concentric raised rings draw attention to its brand name in raised capital letters.
As part of Le Creuset's line of stoneware, the piece features a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, it blocks moisture absorption, which can lead to cracking, crazing, and rippling along the interior. The unit's high-quality enamel exterior protects against metal marks and other damage, plus it makes it fun to mix and match with other coordinating Le Creuset pieces (sold separately). And thanks to its unmatched thermal resistance from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, Le Creuset stoneware moves gracefully from the microwave or oven (or under the broiler) to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers to the dishwasher for quick cleanup.
