I like how OXO laid out the holder so that it will hold the maximum number of pieces with the smallest possible footprint. Occasionally you will need to drain the pan, but it's easy enough. They provide a pour spout on the end, so you won't need to detach it or even remove the items; I just grab the whole thing and pour it out...5 seconds done. I had to rate it only 3 stars. I am noting the onset of rust in the stainless. Apparently the quality of stainless steel used has impurities that are presenting itself in the wet enviroment. You would think they would especially pay close attention to the pedigree of the materials since this product is always wet.

Let me begin by saying that this product is well put together and holds the OXO brushes well. I like the design and it is easy to use. Emptying the tray is simple. For the first week the product was exactly what I had hoped for.

Now onto the fatal flaw. This product is clearly advertised as being made of stainless steel. There is even a big sticker on the bottom of the tray reminding the user that it is stainless steel. This is a false claim. The product began to rust within two weeks of moderate use. Every part of tray that water touches (basically the entire thing) is clearly showing rust.

I bought this at Bed Bath & Beyond for $24.99 recently - I have no idea why - I think I was intoxicated by the wall-o-gadgets and the bright lighting. Anyway - I'm returning today. It's lame! My complaint is mostly with the Oxo brush and sponge scrubbers that go with it (you have to purchase them separately) and the way they LEAK dishsoap down the handles. I'd understand if it was happening with just one of them - things are duddy sometimes - but this is happening with BOTH of them. Poor design.

This tray, though - it's basically a petri dish for growing bacteria in the gross water it catches. You have to clean it out all the time or it will literally stink up your kitchen. JUST SAY NO. You don't need trendy matchy match stuff for your kitchen. If you think the cheaper (but better made) sponge holders are ugly, stick them under the cabinet. This thing is just a total waste of money.

I love this little contraption because it helps organize my brush and cleaner in one convenient place. It keeps me from leaving them on the side of the sink or in the sink. There is also a convenient place to put a sponge. Watch out, though. You need to remember to empty out the water from the tray every so often so that it doesn't get too smelly :)

looks nice; but is not functional. You have to hold the base to take out brushes (or insert them), also it could be a bit bigger, you have to squeeze everything in.

My only complaint with it is that you have to empty the tray. Would have been nice if it were open on one side or something so that it drained itself into the sink...

This is a great product from Oxo. I am finding out that Oxo makes many, many great products and I plan to buy more. This organizer is perfect for the brushes used to clean dishes. It allows them to be stored upright and it allows any water or soap to drain into the organizer's little reservoir. There is the perfect little space to the left for something round. One pictures shows the soap dispenser. I chose the palm-style scrubber (also by Oxo). There is even the little perfect space for the standard rectangle-shaped sponge. You can have 4 different items perfectly organized on this space-saving little platform. I love it and I would strongly urge anyone to consider this as a housewarming gift. It will get great use! Enjoy!

I bought this in September 2009. It is meant to be near water. It is rusting at all the junction points. I'm disappointed. It works pretty well as an organizer although things do tip out of their slot at times. You have to hold all the items in it to empty the plastic water catcher below the stainless steel drain. If it is stainless steel, why does it rust?

Great looking design that works well with the other Oxo sink accessories, but the fact that it rusts easily is a deal breaker. It's too bad because I love all my other Oxo sink accessories (like the soap pump, soap dispensing brush, etc.), and it would have been nice to have a matching organizer for all of them.

I was looking for a stainless steel organizer, and this was by far one of the better looking ones. Plus, I like OXO, and have many of their products.

The organizer works fine, but it seems that the area where the wire brush/sponge holder attaches to the base is prone to rusting. Perhaps they welded or soldered it with a rust-prone metal? Anyway, I like it overall, but I was disappointed to see that it wasn't quite entirely stainless.
