This is the first 2-tier rack I bought and I wish I hadn't. I used it once and will not use it again. The cutlery cup is very small and when you put a few things in it, it leans to one side, almost coming off the rack so I had to hang it on the side. The top holds a only few plates and the bottom wasn't a good place to put glasses as they kept falling over because it's not a flat rack. I think it's meant for bowls. Also, where do I put my pots and pans? (on the counter with a towel under them) I'm a single senior so I hand wash all my dishes. I prefer the old-fashioned drainer and tray.
