I was questioning my sanity when I spent $50 on such an item, but it’s sturdy enough for my LC vessels and anything else imaginable. I just thought I’d share because I’m happy with the purchase.
Of course I did have a 20% coupon 👍🏻
@house_cat Oh dear, that's a beauty! I only wash by hand and this dish drainer is calling my name. You have excellent taste. Thanks for sharing.

@sandy53. No dish drainer here either. Haven't had one for 20 years. Everything goes in the dishwasher.
However if I had a drainer, the one op bought would be it.

I've tried that several times. It has never lasted more than a day. I just can't manage it. I cook a lot and I have utensils, plates and vessels that I use several times a day. I have to wash them or they wouldn't be available... but I admire you. I'm sure your kitchens look nicer without a dish rack.

That is similar to my situation. I have a dishwasher, but I'm hard-pressed to even be able to fill it in a week or so. Meanwhile, there are a number of things, including of course pots/pans, knives, etc, that I have in use virtually all the time so I need to be able to hand-wash them and have them available to use again either later that day or the next day.
I looked this item up and it's like $72 on Amazon and that would definitely be too much. I wonder why it is so expensive?
Anyway, I truly hope you enjoy it and it looks like it will be very handy and, hopefully, durable.

@house_cat. I know what you mean. I just don't have the space for a dish drain. I usually run the dishwasher every day no matter how much is in it.
In fact, I used to use the dishwasher as a drainer!

I have a KA drainer similar to this one. It is a little larger (14.5 X 20), holds 9 cups on the side and 17 plates, silverware holder on the sink end. It has a removable drip tray which is necessary since the drainer is to large for my sink. I have had it approximately 7 years. It constantly is in use and is holding up well. I don't have a dishwasher. House Cat, congratulations on your purchase!

I don't own a dishwasher so I really need to use a dishrack - bought a Simple Human one with BBB coupon - won't even say how much I paid for it - looks nicer than the plastic one.
Enjoy!

I really like it, I'm in the market for a new one.
I don't like bending over a dishwasher, tummy issues, it gets old.
So I keep a drainer on my counter.
I would probably pay $50 for that, stainless steel & rust resistant.
It will be the last one I ever need!
Thanks for sharing.
