Amazon Basics 26-Inch Over the Sink 2-Tier Dish Drying Rack - Rust-Resistant, Stainless Steel

It's a bit wobbly, dont sit flat but its great for holding small dishes

Easy to assemble, sturdy, perfect for my size for my sink, gives me back more space in my tiny home.

It was broken and missing parts. Refused to return it

I like it .thank you

I bought the Amazon Basics Over the Sink rack for more counter space, more dish space, and easier rack cleaning.Assembly was simply a matter of screwing the feet into the end pieces, then using ten screws to fasten the five cross pipes between the end pieces. When I tightened the screws, I tried to hold the four feet down against the flat concrete floor, but tightening twisted the ends out of alignment, leaving me with a wobble.Slightly unscrewing one foot would have fixed it, but I wanted the ends aligned. I loosened the ten screws, put a board across two cross pipes as a shelf, put three bricks on the shelf, and tightened. I removed the shelf, and there was no more wobble.The four shelf racks lift off for easy cleaning. The lower shelf has only enough clearance to move 10” plates in and out of the plate rack. My plates are 10.5” in diameter. The plate rack must go on the top level, where the plates need 40 inches of clearance above counter level, not 35 inches as the Amazon description says.The other three racks can be used as flat shelves, but two have wavy wires allowing other placement of bowls and cups. On the left, the lower shelf holds two bowls up. It can hold seven this way, with space beside the bowls for other items. Above, a coffee mug and a measuring cup sit slanted for faster draining. To save space, they could be placed with rims flat on the rack.The kit includes six big C hooks which could be positioned along any of the five cross pipes. In the photo, I have used four, for two serving implements on the left and two brushes on the right.Each end has three cross wires to hang the three attachments. On the left is what the description calls the silver bin. Actually, the silver bin is the smaller part at the front, 1.5 x 3”. The larger part, behind it, is for large knives. It has three slots on top, through which blades can be suspended safely in a wire cage. The attachment incudes a white plastic pan to catch drips.I see two problems with the silver bin. I don’t like to cram my flatware into such a small compartment, and it’s a bit tall for teaspoons. I hung the three-compartment wire bin from my old rack, on the wire below. You can see the glint of a teaspoon.The Amazon description says the four little hooks on the knife cage are for cutting boards and sponges. I prefer to hang color-coded measuring spoons.The attachment that holds my white cutting board hangs from the middle wire on the right. I hung it back-to-back with the 3 x 8” basket, which is inboard, over the sink. It holds a metal scrub pad and a little squeeze bottle of dilute dish liquid for washing single items.My yellow dish cloth hangs over the top wire. My gray towel is at the back, hanging over the lowest cross pipe. With all that room, I may switch to a bigger towel.I usually prepare food to the left, and the rack keeps several tools close to my right hand. It also helps me keep the counter clear. If I move to the sink, six washing items are close to my right hand.To see if the rack would work for somebody shorter, I marked the rack 5’4” from floor level, which is approximately eye level for somebody 5’9” tall. Crouching to that level, I could use the upper shelf but thought it might be difficult if I were shorter. I think I’d want this rack even if I needed a stool to use the top shelf.

I guess I should have measured before ordering this. I have a standard double sink, but this is too narrow and won't clear the width of the sink. Not only that, but it's REALLY tall. I guess I didn't realize just how tall 32" would be. It would have hit the pendant light that hangs over the sink, even if it was wide enough. That's my own fault I guess for not measuring. But just thought I would mention that... be sure to measure your space! That being said, my son found another use for it and it works great for his music equipment and manuals... lol. It is built well and easy to put together and if you have a smaller sink and plenty of space over your sink, it would probably work great... so for that I give it 4 stars.

I knew this thing was going to be quite large before I bought it...but I wasn't prepared for it. I didn't do my due diligence and look at the dimensions and measure the area it was going in to and I also didn't measure the faucet. I needed a tall over the sink organizer to fit over our tall faucet so I got it anyway.I will admit the first day it was all put together and sitting above the sink I didn't like it. It seemed like a giant eyesore in the kitchen and I almost took it down that day. However, I already had things drying on it and was pleased at the space it had cleared up on the counter so I left it up.The next day it felt like less of an eyesore and more of a wonderful counter-space-clearer. Sure, it was giant, but I didn't have to use paper towels to dry off my coffee maker parts or paring knives I use every day for slicing everyone's fruit. I just cleaned off those coffee maker parts and paring knives and immediately set them on the drying rack. I was pretty much sold at this point, haha.It's got hooks for your dish wands and straw cleaners, shelves for your dishes/pots/pans/etc, slots for your utensils, spots for your sponges, places for your soaps, and it has a space for your faucet to come up through. As you can probably tell from my photos that faucet space was reeaaally needed for the faucet.Oh and it also has little leveling feet in case wherever you put it is uneven.I docked one star because we can't pull the faucet head as far down into the sink as we used to because the faucet goes up into the organizer and down over that front bar. Also can't move the faucet side to side as far as we used to. I tried moving the organizer forward and back to see if I could position the faucet a different way but it didn't work out.I haven't seen any rust/wobbly parts/broken parts or anything and we've been using it for a few weeks. It was quick and easy to assemble. It reminds me of a wire shoe rack just with different shelving.

This is super cute and useful ONLY IF you have a single sink. I have a double sink and it didn’t fit. So we just put it in storage for when we move next time.
