"The drying rack has made my life so much easier in my kitchen."
"Admittedly, this was heavier than I expected it to be, but it works amazingly."
"While I liked the look of the classic stainless steel and black silicone edges, I couldn't find any of those that would fit. Update: 11/29/2016 - we still love ours and it's great, but..........just noticed the price has shot up to nearly $40 or more depending which vendor you are using!"
"I have a deep, undivided farm sink and like to drain dishes over the sink rather than on the counter. Can’t do it because that’s where the sink spigot is (blocks the dish rack) so am using this on the side with the garbage disposer (where there is room for the extra length)."
"This thing is so awesome (for a drying rack)!"
"I will. Never go back to a regular drainer."
"Definitely fits across the sink, can be used on the counter as well, and the silicone coating is thick enough I won't be concerned about putting a hot pot on top if needed."

The Simplehuman rack is elevated, allowing its specially designed spout to drain directly into the sink--and it really works! Please note that the spout swivels 180 degrees, allowing the dish rack to be placed on either side of the sink and in either the long or short position.). (The wine glass holder drip tray folds for easier storage--when I'm not using it, I like to store mine right under the dish rack itself for easy access.)."
"The plastic feet it comes with for the legs makes it much taller, I actually cut the metal legs shorter so when I slid the feet on it's as tall as it was with the metal legs alone. The metal legs alone left marks on my counter top and slid around too easily."
"The first one we received from Amazon had a mysterious piece of metal fall out - after looking carefully at the dish rack, I noticed that the metal frame and the plastic bottom were not properly connected, and that piece of metal was actually used to connect the bottom to the side. The second one we received from SimpleHuman had the same problem - the plastic and the metal frame were loosely connected, and the broken piece was rattling around inside of the frame."
"The small plastic stuff inside the inner trim started to break part when I dissembled for cleaning."
"Like Melanie (see review dated June 17, 2016), I received an open, USED, damaged dishrack in a perfect, crisp box."
When the plate rack is folded down, it leaves the middle of the dish rack open to accommodate large bowls, cookware, and more. Plate rack folds down to make room for large bowls, cookware and more.

Some water does remain because the hole is sort of small and in the center of the long side of the rack (so water does accumulate along that side and can't drain optimally because there is nothing diverting the residual water), but I don't regret my purchase because it's stylish and functional enough."
"While I was grocery shopping the side of the rack broke and a few of my favorite plates came down and broke."
"I first searched amazon for a dish drying rack because I was sick of the cheap rubbermaid dish racks accumulating mildew."
"But this dish rack is awesome and worth every penny."
"It's super easy to set up and it's relatively compact on my counter top but it holds A LOT and dries so quickly! It's designed so well, it really holds all my dishes and it folds up nicely when I don't use it but it's pretty much on my counter next to my sink all the time."
"The water leaks through the gap between grey flat and base drain."
"I did put the feet down to give it the incline to drain water, and it's still almost entirely flat. The plate-holder part that pops up only works one direction (the plates fall over if you put them the other way). The cup holder pillars are too close together such that each glass will take up the space of at least two."
"Cons: Stuff doesn't really dry all the way because the bottom is completely plastic and water doesn't actually drip below."

There are 5 levels on the desktop to adjust to any angle you like and this really handy for painting because it's like a portable easel bring your travel pallet and paint supplies to the park or to the living room, really anyplace!"
"Exactly what I wanted for using in front of the TV, while I sit on the couch coloring, etc. The drawer is very small and not all that practical, but it'll hold several pens/pencils, eraser and a pencil sharpener, but this doesn't really concern me."
"I don't recommend this for an invalid with arm strength issues as the tray itself is really heavy and one needs some strength to move it off their lap."
"The drawer can hold small items, from pens, pencils, and knick knacks. I was worried at first that the item would be cheap, flimsy, and not well made, but I was proved wrong."
"I can fit my laptop and a notebook on it to take notes and do work. It's a bit bothersome to extend and collapse since it takes time. The small metal "hooks" that are meant to hold the legs in place don't really work."
"The service deserves a 5 but I can't in good conscience give 5 for the product at this point in time since it would have the same issues I mentioned in my initial review."
"It's a well made product, however, I find it to be very heavy and cumbersome. I wish they made one of these for left-handers and put the table part on the left side, but this is a right-handed world afterall."

"I have never liked stacking my cast iron pans one inside of the other so now I am in Love with this organizer!"
"I have been looking for quiet a while for something to help keep the lids organized so they were not falling all over the place our out of the cabinet when i would open it, that is just so frustrating.. so when I seen this i just had to try it, and it really does the trick."
"Many racks had more like square dividers - our lids would not fit them."
"I get so aggravated by lids getting in the way while I'm bent down and reaching to the back of the cabinet to pull out a pot or pan."
"I have mine in the cabinet under the stove and due to space considerations, have to have it positioned from back to front, which makes it a bit awkward to remove a lid in the center, but that's a limitation of my space, not the product."
"This is sturdy and well made and keeps all the lids easy to see, even my very curved lid with the large knob."
"It holds my faberware pot lids perfectly and makes them look decorative rather than like clutter which was what it was like before I got this."

"People receiving products free in exchange for an "honest" review are well and good (and apparently allowed by Amazon), but honest or not, you're not going to be as critical of something you received for free as you are of something you actually paid for with your hard earned money."
"Since it is plastic it will probably scratch and scuff pretty easily so you should probably be careful to not scratch it. If you are hanging something like a towel or a t-shirt there is another hook with a better design for holding things like that because it has more surface area. The suction power of the other hook works just as well as this one it just has a different design that will hold certain types of items more securely."
"These suctioned to my tile about a year ago and have not moved yet!"
"I have missed the return deadline (I bought it for my mother and by the time I got to her house to put it in, the deadline had passed...) so I guess it will go into the trash. While I couldn't get the product to work, the company is great!"
"I moved it to our fiberglass shower, which is smooth and clean and it fell down within 18 hours. I have some standard heavy duty rubber suction cup accessories in the same fiberglass shower which have held for over a month. This Hasko product is heavy and can damage the shower floors when it falls, so I do not recommend it."
"I have a farmhouse stainless sink with limited space to hang hand towels."
