5.0 out of 5 stars World's Greatest Dish Drainer! June 30, 2011

By Natalie P. Farrell

Excellent design and fully adjustable for all your dish draining needs! It's almost absurd to put so much thought into a dish drainer. The spout can be swiveled to three different sides, the utensil holder can be at either end, the knife block can be in either side of the utensil holder and the glass holders can be repositioned.

The wooden version is very nice-looking, but I don't know how the wood will hold up over time. It's hard to tell from the picture which part is clear plastic so I'll describe it. The sides of the main body are actually brushed aluminum. The tray is a textured clear plastic and the utensil holder is super clear plastic.

It is a really impressive dish drainer, but then it is still a dish drainer so you have to gauge whether it's really worth the $80 to you. We don't have a dishwasher, so a dish drainer is a part of daily life. If you only use dish drainers after parties, I don't know if it would be worth it. The simplehuman website has a lot more info and customer reviews:

They seem to be a very good company and I'm sure I'll order something else from them in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE FOR TOP-MOUNTED SINKS! December 29, 2011

By JennC

I never thought I would pay $80 for a dish rack--seems ridiculous. Then we moved into an apartment with a top-mounted sink (the edges of the sink sit on top of the counter) and realized that dish drainer racks are not designed for top-mounted sinks. The water would end up either sitting stagnant in the drainer tray or would end up all over the counter. Our sink sits almost 1 inch above the counter so even drainer racks that claimed to be elevated and had legs wouldn't be high enough to clear the sink. I searched and searched and went through four different racks before I tried this one and it is definitely a keeper! The rack height clears the sink and drains beautifully AND comes with extenders so you can elevate the rack even higher if you want. Plus, it's a good size (I wash LOTS of dishes) and it looks great on the counter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Large & Stylish - Great Dishrack July 17, 2011

By Miriam

The simplehuman Bamboo Frame Dishrack has everything that you'd want in a dishrack.
1. It's large and spacious and can easily fit lots of plates, pots, and pans.
2. Adjustable cup holders allow you to hang cups on the edge of the dishrack instead of placing them inside. Plus you can pull out a plastic tray so the cups don't drip onto the counter
3. A knife and utensil holder that can be positioned on either side of the dishrack. The knife holder is made of bamboo and has slots for different knife sizes. It can also be removed to hold more utensils.
4. The plastic draining spout can be swiveled to be on either of the long sides or on one of the width sides depending on your available counter space
5. Many of the pieces are dishwasher-safe to help you keep everything clean.

Plus it comes with a 5 year warranty. Overall you're truly getting what you pay for. I like that all of my dishes (finally) fit onto one rack and there are absolutely no leaks or drips onto the counter.
