Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.
i would’ve loved this as a kid but i had a Bad Childhood
I’ve showed my mother things like this once and she was very not at all excited at the idea of one in our kitchen.
I was watching cat videos and ended up pausing so I could admire the nice stairs this person had.
Cute cat too but them stairs! Dang!
(Then I realized I am old and sad lol)
Actually this is an abomination and I hate it
A side rack with drainage into the sink is ideal for handwashing dishes, anything more or less complicated than that is going to be endless headaches. This thing looks unstable as fuck.
Imagine pumping soap from the dispenser while the top rack has several plates and pots and pans (and fruit??) on it.
Controversial! I admire your gumption
I hate it too. My SO bought one and its not a great product. It’s hard to wash anything larger than a small pan, it leaks water everywhere, and makes cleaning the please difficult. It also looks horrible in our apartment kitchen.
I’m old, and I actually hate this…
How awkward it must be to try to remove the knives. And why is the fruit in the top right? The cutting boards are going to leak all over the counter after you wash them.
Also, I have a dishwasher… So this is just a great way to block the window in front of most sinks for no good reason.
This looks like to make cleaning large pans or baking sheets unnecessarily difficult.
Damn everyone hates this. I liked mine, but to each their own
I don’t like the execution, but it’s good in concept
I’m old enough to say it’s pretty. No silverware. No utility/paring knives. Too many bowls, not enough plates. Most of my utensils can’t hang. no glasses/cups, need at least 3 cutting boards.
Great taste, marginal execution.
The knife holder forces you to pull the knives up which simply is impossible with that shelf above
The knife holder straddles the back post. The draining baskets are only forward of the back post.
It doesn’t look like it could hold more than a 7" knife, but you’d likely be able to lift it out behind the basket.
Again, nothing i’d want to buy, but for an organized look, it’s looks organized.
How do you get the knives in and out of that thing?
With AI, of course!
More importantly, why is the drain on the side of the sink? How do to you get the water out of that thing?
it ‘might’ actually exist
It’s sad this is real, it’s awful in design… Someone in the thread claimed to have one, and admitted the knives were frustrating to store and remove.
That’s likely just the overflow drain?
And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”
The immediately obvious way is that you don’t need a fucking scaffolding around your sink for any of this. Put the knives on magnets like a normal person. Dry your dishes and put them away like an adult, you aren’t in college anymore, have some fucking dignity. Put the fruit literally anywhere else. That leaves the soap, which can just sit on the fucking counter. It’s not going to damage anything in an earthquake. It doesn’t need to be caged.
Counters should be flat, clean and empty of single purpose appliances or extraneous errata. This is the recipe for positive mental health.
I can’t figure out how you’d actually get a knife in those slots with the ledge above it.
I have this drying rack, and… I LOVE it!
But the knife holder is the biggest problem. All the bits are modular so you can set it up with the knife holder not having something right above it, but my favorite knife is too long to sit in the knife holder without stabbing the countertop. I solved the problem by getting one of those magnetic knife holders and mounting it to the side of the rack.
Also, when people who come over to my place for dinner or hanging out, about half of them make a comment about how awesome the drying rack is.
(I’m 47 and I got this rack about 5 years ago)

Currently unavailable on amazon, but this is where I bought it:
All this crap in my way and too much clutter. Yuck. Also, anything over a sink is likely to get splashed. This is creating more cleaning work, and for what?
And who dries dishes like this? Are they not already clean and dry out of the dishwasher? Hand washing is very wasteful and time consuming.
Not everyone owns a dishwasher.
Not everything fits our should go in a dishwasher either.
That would cause me so much claustrophobia at the sink i would stop washing dishes.
I need something like this for my pots and pans because keeping them in the cupboards is too chaotic.
Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action…
Depends how rich you are. Most of rent…
I just bought my first home and immediately decided my first upgrade was to a faucet like this…
I think I need a new username haha
Oh yeah baby that’s it
🍆
I considered this, but was forbidden: The limescale would leave it looking manky.
The trick is to wipe it down with a wet soft wipe regularly, you dont even need chemicals.
Even if you don’t you don’t need chemicals. Just some water and citric acid.
True, but even citric acid can hurt chrome coating long term. 1/10 citric acid/water ratio is recommended.

The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
Yup. Also: I’m tall, so now I can’t see everything that’s in the sink. It also needs some kind of anti-tip measure if the suggested use is to keep heavy dishes up high like that. Also, I’m not convinced this is sanitary - are we gonna get raw-chicken-water-splashback onto clean plates?
How often is your raw chicken in the sink
It’s a DRYING rack, it isn’t meant to be permanent storage. You wash the dishes after dinner, and place them in the rack. The next morning, after they’ve dried, the first thing you do is put them all back in the cabinets.
However, I acknowledge that a LOT of people won’t bother with the second step.
My short ass finds some of this helpful but not enough! It’s going to be difficult to get some of the stuff from the back of the top rack for me. More room though…
Nah that’s just in the pictured configuration. The baskets and all the accessories just hook onto the rack frame so you can move things around to whatever config you want. Do the dish baskets on top of each other and leave the ‘flatter’ bits (like the knife block) for over the actual sink, much better config. Thirty second job even with the dishes on them.
This looks like AI.Why’s the drain on the side?
What are those cinnamon sticks?
Why put fruit on the drying rack?
Blurry ass soap labels.
The whisk and ladle are oddly placed.
Alas. I was bamboozled. It’s real crap on Wayfair, and it’s modular. It’s just set up in a dumb way for the pictures.
I actually have this thing. The knife thing is annoying and it just sits on the back acting as a brace for the dishsoap bottle. The cutting board rack is kinda dumb because it just dries onto your counter.
But the baskets are nice because they drain into the sink. It was a really cheap kitchen improvement purchase I don’t regret.
What it needs though are raised rubber gasket lined feet so it doesn’t hold bits of water under the base you have to lift and wipe up. It’s cheap material and easily modified.

knife thing is annoying
Yeah, that was the first thing I found out, looking at the picture.
One would have to tilt the holder backward to take out the knife and then make a very unnatural feeling motion to get it towards themselves. Even worse if there is no space behind the rack (there is a window in the picture that will enable that if opened)
