This dish rack is cool enough and compact enough to keep as a permanent fixture on the countertop, especially if space is limited.  One drawback (as usual)  For whatever reason, the geniuses who designed this product decided that the base should be made of a hard plastic that has no anti-skid properties and that disallows the use of any commercially- available rubber anti-skid pads.  Thus far, the best solution I have found to keep it from sliding all over the place is to put a thick (12-inch or so) and similarly-sized  (8”W x 16”L) rubber mat underneath the base.
