I never thought I would rave about a dish rack, but this is hands down the best dish drainer I have ever used. Leagues above the colored plastics that always looked cheap and not large and bulky like those impressive 2-tier types, this extendable (brilliant) dish rack is as attractive as a dish rack can get, roomy and thoughtfully designed. You can use it in either direction (drain spout is moveable as well), position the utensil compartment anywhere and there is even a separate slit built in for knives! Dishes can also be arranged in either direction. Nicely constructed, easy to clean too.
