Doing dishes was getting old, same thing day after day, until now! I actually volunteer to be the one cleaning up after dinner. There is nothing better than rinsing a dish knowing it has a clean purposeful place to air dry with no dish towels reeking of mildew to set them on. The amount of water not building up at the edge of the counter and sink connection is preventing the dank smell under the sink as well. And the sleek modern design eases my discriminating eyes. All in all very happy with this purchase.
