After my move across the states, my old spoon rests either got destroyed or worn out. For a while I was on a search for a quality spoon rest. My favorite color is red, so I attempted to find something that matches the rest of my appliances in red or black. As soon as I saw this one in particular I knew I had to buy it as it would fit perfectly in my kitchen. Quite honestly, the pictures don't do its justice compared to what it looks like in real life. It's much bigger and has enough space to put a few cooking utensils while I am cooking multiple meals (and I cook a lot for my family of 5). It's made out of high quality material, the color doesn't fade after numerous washes in the dishwasher(top rack only). It's stylish and works well with the look of my kitchen. Excellent product and should last a long time.
