    We have one of these! Saw a pic on Reddit and had it delivered within a week. We actually use it all the time for things that shouldn’t go in the dishwasher. A few things:

    • They’re expandable, so they can go over single and double sinks.
    • They’re generally made of “just strong enough” metal, to the shelves sag. Have had some heavy stuff on there, so it’s still pretty solid.
    • It never looks anywhere near this organized.
    • Stuff stays on it way longer than necessary, but it does eventually get put away… when we have company over.

      My mother never really removes the dishes from the drying rack, she uses it as storage (it’s a cabinet), the one in her home is bent visibly, but it still holds after decades of work.

      I have one of these, too, and I’ve never been able to use it. Would if I could, it’s brilliant! But in my last flat it was too tall to fit under the cupboards, and in my current one it’s too wide to fir between them.

      I have a dishwasher, but I use a dish dryer as a ‘pre-washer rack’ because my ADHD ass can never empty a clean dishwasher quick enough to avoid dirty dishes piling up. So the dryer rack keeps dishes from blocking the sink. Stupid problems sometimes require stupid solutions.
