Although I use a dishwasher, I like having a dish rack above it for smaller jobs and convenience. I've gone through 3 dish racks and dish drying mats over the last two years, and the biggest issue is the unattractive and harmful rust that eventually forms on the stainless steel frame. That's why when the OXO dish rack came out in aluminum material (that is rust-proof!), I was immediately drawn to it and couldn't wait to see if it'll hold true. It's been about a month since I've received my dish rack, and yes, the feature holds true and is still as beautiful as it came! It is a very clean looking and intuitively designed rack, especially with the adjustable drain tray that I can position to drain directly into the sink and not have to use a drying mat underneath. It really makes the chore of washing dishes a brighter experience.
