This chromed steel drainer with black plastic base/board  is functional and aesthetically pleasing; a useful addition to any kitchen. I prefer the drain "spout" on the short dimension of the base so that the longer sides of the drainer, with the external hangers for glassware, are oriented down the length of the counter. This avoids dripping as you move dishes from the sink to the rack. I withheld the 5th star only because the drain board isn't elevated on one side directed downwards towards the spout/lip for run off. 2 molded feet of 1" to 1 1/2" would be a better design. Alleviating this shortcoming utilizing 2 strips of 3/4" plywood works but this quick fix detracts from the appearance on my counter.
