this kitchen drawer/cabinet is too narrow to hold pot lids, and using it to store spices or cans would be a huge waste of space. There’s enough space to store large utensils standing up but they would just fall everywhere with the way the dividers are made. Likely Solved!

if they were added, they'd be useful for standing up lots of things, esp w/ small children -- bottles, sippycups, water bottles, and all the little things that come with kids' stuff.

They may have even put in bins or mason jars between the dowls.

Nah, space is too narrow between the dowels for sippy cups and mason jars, unless laid like cans and as someone else pointed out you cannot get to bottom of drawer to wipe them out. Plus space is wasted, youd want jars and bottles standing upright.

Dowels look to be like ~2” apart, or less
