I love this drying rack for so many reasons! I'm glad that I'm reviewing it after using it for a while now (about three months) - I feel like my opinion is more objective this way. Anyway, it's super awesome and functional, and I love that it's not imposing on my island - my island is very large butI have quite a bit of stuff on it (plants, fruit bowl, etc) - so I really like that the tray is almost invisible, it just blends in so well! And when I don't use it, I just roll it up, and it's like it's not even there. I use it for both dish drying and meal prep working with vegetables. It's sturdy enough, but also light enough, quite wide and covers at least half of my sink (I have a larger type sink). The rubber endings on both sides prevent it from sliding, and I find that super helpful. When it gets a little darker from water stains, I just wipe it well or throw it in the dishwasher - and it comes out perfect! Great buy, really good item.
