As others have said, the water will tend to pool at the bottom of your sink due to the lack of bottom holes. To me, that's the one thing I would improve, but it's not a deal breaker. I just lift the colander up and shake out all of the water. All in all, this is a good product and I am satisfied with my purchase.
I purchased this item at full price.
No problems with this strainer. It strains well, cleans up well, and looks great.
