I was so tired of dish drying cloths or rubber drying pads sitting on my granite and soaking through. This dishrack sits on small legs above the granite counter and has a drain that I can direct into the sink. My granite doesn’t get wet at all. Wine glasses, regular glasses and mugs have a separate spot so less likely to break. It’s large enough for pots and large bowls and the bottom is drip-resistant so it looks new even after water drains onto it. The stainless steel matches my appliances. Very happy with this purchase.
