I bought this dish drainer based on the picture, thinking it was the older version, heavy, rubber, non-antimicrobial drainer. It is not. It IS the new, light, plastic, antimicrobial model which I did NOT want. However, today a salesperson from Ace Hardware told me only the light weight, plastics drainers are available from now on. Sigh.

I have the same comments as the two other reviewers on record as of today 3/30/09, Art Lemmens and K Semerad. It is not as pictured. I need one to sit longwise. This one occupies the full depth of counter and interferes with window and curtain. The hole that things fall through, that the other reviewer mentioned, is another bone, but for me more easily dealt with. I would give quality, and antimicrobial feature 5 stars. I've been using it a long time. I have shopped vigerously for the style (longwise) and agree with the other reviewer, it's no longer available. It is still far superior to the designer, wood, stainless and novelty racks out there that very clumsy to work with. So, we make due with what is now on the market.

Overall OK. Large hole at one end seems to attract items to fall out of rack. Previous design had better silverware holder of more square design. Construction quality seems good. Time will tell.

My old dish drainer died and I wanted a replacement. Didn't read the fine print on products (my bad) and got two versions that were pretty colors BUT the bottom was a water HOLDER. I wanted to be able to have a draining lip reach just over the edge of my kitchen sink and drain away the drip water. This drainer set is the classically perfect unit: good heavy duty wire bails on the outer margin for glasses and cups; good size utensil storage and well coated wire so it should be a long time before the top rack fails (unless I'm clumsy again and manage to nick the coating so the inner wires can rust).

It's a dish rack. It holds dishes and seems sturdy enough to last a while. Not a lot to say about it except to note that the large hole at one end, previously mentioned by others, is very odd. Not a big problem, but strange.

Can't get excited about it, but would purchase again if the need arose.

I like this style of dish drainer but would have liked the item better if it were made of heavier material and I would prefer the utensil holder to be squared off and not rounded. The utensils slide up with the rounded bottom. I don't use it daily so the product serves the purpose for which it was purchased.

This item is impossible to find in stores anymore, so I was glad to find one and the item is exactly as described. Thanks for having this item available!

I agree with others here. What was wrong with the old style? The new ones are all wrong -- both the dish drainers and the drainboards. The good old rubber-covered metal ones are the best. The new style, with the stupid hole in the end, where items can fall through into the sink, is just plain idiotic. The drainboards only come with the runoff area going the wrong way. They don't fit my sink and counter, and the dishes have to be racked back-to-front, instead of side-to-side. The traditional side-to-side method makes sense, but the new way makes you have to reach over some dishes to get to the others, making it easier to break some of them, especially if you have overhead shelves or cabinets nearby. Side-to-side is a logical progression. I think that none of the designers have ever washed dishes by hand. They all think that machines are supposed to do the work, wasting electricity, water, and soap. Duh!
