I have to give this item a mixed review. The rack is really well constructed out of heavy stainless steel. That's a pro AND a con, as the rack is fairly heavy. If you like to keep your dishrack under the sink, as we do, it's a workout to stow it away and get it back out again the next time you want to use it.

Other pros would be that the utensil holder is spacious and has an awesome design, with slots for holding your chef's knives.

A big complaint everyone in the family has concerns the area that is meant for standing dinner plates upright in slots to drip. The slots are great, but the side rails at either end of the plate slots are nonexistent. Since we actually put our dinner plates in our dishwasher and use the rack mostly for pots and pans, we find that it's difficult to prop a saucepan up in the plate slots without it falling over and out onto the counter.

Bottom line: I get complaints from everyone in the family every single time they have to do the dishes. They all say they absolutely hate this dishrack and would rather I had purchased another cheapo Rubbermaid dish drainer.

But I do have to give this one props for the quality of the materials.

We are happy with many of the features of our drainer such as the materials, the dish holder and knife holder. However, we bought it so that it would "drain" water into the sink. The base is a bit high in the center and the lip edge not high enough and as a result it drains onto the counter top. Also, our sink has a raised edge and it would be nice if the feet or supports were set back a bit to allow for this. In order for the spout to reach into the sink, we have to position the front feet on the edge of the sink and don't get a good angle for drainage. We have had to make adjustments of our own to elevate the back feet. These two things combined have been quite frustrating. This would not be as much a problem for a sink with no raised edge.

I've had this dish rack for about 6 months and it does show any signs of rust or corrosion. This is a solid dish rack. My only complaint about the design is that glasses fall over when placed on the dish-holding portion of the rack, so if I have, say, one dish and a dozen glasses, they don't fit as well in this rack as they did in my crappy plastic dish rack. The rack is less intrusive than most, and takes up a bit less space than most. It works just fine if you can't point the drain spout into your sink. Nothing really leaks out the drain holes unless you put REALLY we stuff in the rack.

This is a great dishrack. I was a little worried about the bamboo getting wet all the time, but so far it has held up well. It just needs one more foot because my counter is a bit tlted and I can't get the dishrack to drain correctly. Otherwise, I do love it.
