I used this kitchen utensil holder for many things this summer and am looking forward to new uses this fall. It's durable (I dropped it a few times and didn't put a scratch on it), and it washes well. One problem I have always had with these items, and this one was no different, was that the holder's height sometimes makes it challenging to remove utensils. I hate pulling a wooden spoon out and fumbling with five other objects in the process... Still, I recommend this for its versatility, strength, and cleanliness.
