I have a dishwasher, but I really needed something to put my Calphalon One cookware, and things that can't go in the dishwasher, like knives, in to dry when I wash them. Laying pots on towels on my glass stovetop was getting old. 

This is compact for storage, the base sits on top like a lid. Easy to set up when needed, and the positional drain is a plus. I can use the glass rack to hold most of my pot lids on the side. I did buy an open-box item, and it has a defect that doesn't affect the overall performance. 

When done it sits on the rack with my pots, the rack was a previous Wayfair purchase. And the backsplash you see behind the range, is also a previous Wayfair purchase. 

It may look flimsy, but it really isn't, my cookware is heavy anodized aluminum. If you need something small you can just stowaway when not needed, this does that very ell.
