Leaving a review because I with I'd known before buying -- this is a very flimsy product and it doesn't work with glass bottles. Hope this helps someone.

Yes, it is a good size, but great for those moms who need extra space for breastpump parts and bottles. We have the Skip Hop drying rack also, but prefer this drying rack hands down!

The different size levels are great for keeping the 4 and 8 oz. bottles seperated. The drying middles are wonderful for pump pieces, nipples, and sealing caps.

Highly recommend this Drying Rack.

Although we wash bottles, nipples, etc. in the dishwasher, they never dry completely, so I need to put them in a drying rack afterward. I didn't want to throw them in our regular dish drainer because they're hard to access and take up too much space. This drying rack has a minimal footprint but most importantly comes with a drip tray so you can use it either in the middle of a counter (like us), or draining directly into the sink.

It seems like this product would work fine for plastic bottles, but when I was trying to use it for my glass bottles, not only would the little pegs not stay in so they were always falling all over the place, but the spinning feature wouldn't work with the heavier glass bottles. I'd recommend the "Prince Lionheart Complete Drying Station" instead. I haven't tried any other products, but the Price Lionheart product still has a small footprint and I can fit more bottles on it and access everything I need. Good Luck!

Some of the one-star reviewers said this product doesn't work well with glass bottles, but I don't agree. I've been using mine for four months now and it works just fine. I do have to hang my glass bottles opposite of each other so the stand doesn't tip over from the weight, but that is easy to do! This product is well worth the price, and if you are like me and watching every dollar these days, don't spend more money than you need to. I definitely recommend this product.

Where do I start?

The top rack collapses if you put any kind of significant weight on it such as one 8 oz glass bottle.
The plastic sticks that hold the bottles are made of cheap plastic that bend down if the bottle is warm from the dishwasher or after being boiled.
The drain pan doesn't latch on to the bottom tray, this would have been common sense design. Instead if you move the unit the drain pan has to be moved as well.

A cloth rag does the job better than this rack.
Save your money.

Tired of laying out all your bottle parts on a towel? Dishwasher not drying all your bottle parts? Then you need to buy this item or one like it. I pile tons of parts on the two platforms and hang bottles on the top and bottom spears. It doesn't take up much space and is just the handiest thing I've owned in a long time.

If you bottle-feed your baby, then this is a must-have.

I love this drying rack! I use it every single day and have no idea what I'd do without it (or something similar). Our kitchen is on the small side, and we don't have much counter space. This lets me dry many bottles, nipples, pacifiers, mesh feeders, pump parts, etc, all in one small space. Even after things are dry, I often leave them on the rack until I need them (which lets me save on drawer/cabinet space, as well).

This is a great drying rack! I was using two other flat ones to hold the same amount of bottles. The rack is fairly sturdy and accomodates larger bottles with plenty of room.

We have been using this rack for 2 months to dry 8 glass bottles that we sterilize (by boiling) every day. The rack does a good job at holding all the bottles, caps and nipples for drying. However, the stems that hold the bottles up are getting quite bent and I'm concerned that one or more will snap soon.
