Works just fine. It's a dish drying rack, dishes sit in it and they dry. I'd say the only annoying thing about it is the utensil caddy. When I put taller and heavier things in it, the caddy becomes more at risk of flipping over. It's not a make-or-break thing and, to get around it, I still put taller and heavier things in there but I'm just careful to not bump into those items while they're drying. I'd buy it again and recommend it to others.
