An excellent drainer. The design is very clever being expandable is a great feature. The handy built in drainer also makes it a very practical addition to the kitchen.The build quality and construction materials are the best.

Why US sinks often don’t come with draining boards I do not know. Our rented apartment has just a sink and no drainer. I was using an ordinary draining rack and draining mats underneath but all that happened was that they became sodden wet and you’d get standing water because there’s nowhere for it to drain. This rack is exactly what I wanted, with a spout that drains into the sink. I don’t know if I have it set up right or not though because it seems to lay quite flat, I have seen some water drain from it but that was when I tipped it up a bit. The extendable piece is slightly warped I think, and doesn’t sit over the other piece quite right so it creates an angle to drain. So the water tends to sit on the dish rack instead of draining away. It’s still way better ... MoreWhy US sinks often don’t come with draining boards I do not know. Our rented apartment has just a sink and no drainer.

SO PLEASED TO GET THIS AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT. SO DISAPPOINTED WHEN IT LEAKED ALL OVER MY COUNTERTOP! THE SPOUT WAS WIDE OPEN AND CONTAINED A DRIBBLE OF WATER BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BACK WHERE THE PUDDLES WERE GREATEST, THE WATER WAS COMING OUT OF THE EXPANDABLE JOINT SECTION. IT DOES CLAIM "SLOPING BASE CHANNELS WATER TO SPOUT" BUT THAT NOTE IS ATTACHED TO A FULLY EXTENDED DRAINER. AND HOW CAN IT SLOPE WHEN ALL THE LEGS MEASURE THE SAME?I ADDED 2 STRIPS OF NON-SKID FELT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE 2 REAR LEGS. NOW IT SEEMS TO DRAIN CORRECTLY. PITY THIS DESIGN DEFECT SPOILED MY PRESENT, THOUGH.
