I wanted to love this dish drainer I wanted to love this dish drainer. I’ve always had the kind of dish drainer that is dipped in rubber/plastic and eventually rusts. I was looking for a replacement for my latest, now rusty drainer. Rather than purchasing another that would end up in a landfill, I wanted something that would last even if it meant spending more. While this dish drainer should fulfill that requirement, I hadn’t thought through the implications of having all of the components made from stainless steel. Drain board: The design is clever and the water flows into the sink nicely, but I have two issues with it. First of all it is raised off the counter and elevates the dish drainer so it became the focal point of the kitchen – which was not the look I was going for. And then there are the hard water spots which appeared after the first use. The instructions warned about hard water (which I have) and suggested using vinegar to clean the spots. I just hadn’t reckoned how quickly the drain board would be covered with blotches of white mineral deposits where drops of water had stayed on the board. I am use to my white Rubbermaid drain board which does collect mineral deposits, but they don’t show because it is white. Life is short, I can’t spend it cleaning the draining board after every dish washing. I am now using the new dish rack with my old Rubermaid drain board. Cutlery holder: There is a stainless insert that helps divides the holder into three holding areas and provides support to the cutlery. Unfortunately the divider it is not a tight fit. While that makes it easy to insert and remove the result is that it rattles whenever anyone walks by. I tried using the holder without the insert, but all the silverware slid over to one side because the holder isn’t particularly deep and there is no grip on the bottom. Luckily, my old plastic cutlery holder works with the new dish rack. Dish rack: So far this works well, though it occurs to me that hard surfaces might not be the best thing for fine china and crystal. Another reviewer suggested that there should be cup holders along the outside and the company responded that they might create an attachment – I would encourage them to do this. I do not plan on using the drain board or cutlery holder. I would love to return them so they don’t end up in the landfill. Optimally, they would be sold separately.

Very sturdy Very sturdy, very well-built, we're very pleased with our first item from Zojila and looking forward to more!

Beautiful design and have been looking… Beautiful design and have been looking for a completely stainless steal dish rack for the longest. Great buy!

Good product Good product. Everything is as it was described on their website. Very high quality materials. It’s significantly heavier and nicer than the wire racks one might find in your average big box store. So, the purchase price feels in alignment with materials and build quality. Seems to fit standard plates and cups easily, so far. I’m not certain how it’s going to handle big items like cookie sheets, roasting pans, and Dutch ovens. I’m sure it’ll probably be fine. UPDATE: It does handle larger objects just fine, just like the company response suggests. However, it sits up higher off the counter than most other dish strainers. I think this is so the drip tray can clear any raised sink lips. So, it’s a feature, not a bug. But it means that the whole thing takes up some vertical space, so if you have low cabinets over your dish-drying area (as I do), it means there’ll be less space for big items. So, take a good look at the height measurements and your cabinet clearance.

The dish rack is attractive and sturdy The dish rack is attractive and sturdy. Lifetime warranty is also nice. Shipping was pretty fast
