This is a solid, sturdy dish rack -- but while it's length x width have a much smaller profile, the height does make it appear full-sized on my counter and I had wanted something a little more obscure. I decided to keep it because incurring cost of returning it didn't make sense, and it's actually growing on me. It certainly does free up counter space in my small kitchen, and probably  holds as much if not more than my old full-size dish rack. One thing about quality -- the plastic water catcher for beneath the utensil cage had a small crack in it and wouldn't snap on, so I had to take one part of it off and snap it on upside down, and it's working okay now. There are NO instructions on how to put it together,  but it's all pretty obvious except for that small plastic utensil tray.
