The 'box' you put your washing up liquid/sponges into does not have any holes in, water therefore accumulates there (I wanted my sponges out of sight, and 'drip-drying' but this is not possible). And the only time I utilise the bar (kitchen cloth) is at the end of the day, because it is not an 'easy grab'; as the box and base are not connected I was constantly pulling the two apart whilst going to grab the cloth.
