I never leave reviews, but need to sing this drying rack's praises. This is exactly what I was looking for, for a small apartment. The volume it holds is about equivalent to one of the standard, ugly drying racks that take up an entire counter (and then some with their drain boards). Instead, this is cleverly designed to be very narrow and tall, so you can stack dishes without fear of anything toppling out and breaking. I oriented this along the backsplash and it gave me back half the usable counter space in that area of the kitchen, crucial for small kitchens. I also just love the design. It's very elegant, and the utensil holder and drain spout are adjustable so you can orient this however you need for your kitchen layout (no clunky drainboard that takes up an entire side of your sink). This is the only drying rack I've ever had that feels like a functional design piece in my kitchen and not a counter-hogging eyesore I only own out of necessity.
