Unlike many of the other reviewers here, I bought this item exclusively to use outside the sink. It has performed great so far. I like the attractive design (simple metal frame and the inset draining piece, for example), and relatively compact footprint. We use the dishwasher for most items but wash our pots/pans and miscellaneous items by hand, so we did not need a large dish rack. I can also appreciate that when the plastic pieces inevitably start getting a little dingy over time, I can just throw them into the dishwasher

The price was also reasonable. I don't expect to pay a lot for a dish rack, but I am happy to pay a little bit more for one that has some nice touches cosmetically and functionally. I felt this price point (<30) was the sweet spot for me.

If I were to nitpick just a little bit, it would be that the slope could be just a little bit greater to allow water to flow more easily towards the sink. I may end up getting a couple small clear pieces of plastic to prop up two of the legs if it really ends up being bothersome.

Who'd have dreamed that something like a dish rack could make me so happy...
After many years of using an inexpensive plastic rack that more or less balances on the edge of the sink and the divider between the twin sinks, I finally splurged.

I am so pleased with this rack. I've removed the spout since I will be using it in the sink rather than on the counter. The rack fits beautifully in the sink and now rests on the bottom rather than the edges like my old one did. It's basically out of sight when empty, but looks great.

If I need to use it on the counter, I can easily insert the spout and direct the runoff into the sink.
Comes with a five year guarantee. Heck, I've had my plastic one that long and fully expect this one to outlast me.

Sometimes the little things do make a difference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Plastic!!!, July 31, 2010

Fits in the sink nice but what I really wanted was all stainless steel. The whole bottom(drip tray) is plastic with 1/2" slats meaning harder to clean. I was trying to avoid this. Can't use without the plastic "drip tray" cause there would be no bottom, just a hole. Oh well back to cleaning the dish drainer!
