Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This dish rack filled the void in my soul and brought true inner peace and harmony, ok no, but damn it's good. After decades of buying basically the same wooden foldout dish rack, you know the one, plates on top, mugs and smaller on that little shelf under, I decided to try something new. This is the best damn dish rack I have ever seen. It was one of a number of products we had to replace after our house nearly burned down during the fire in Big Sur, CA last summer. Our house was saved, but the damage from ash and smoke kept up us out for 5 months. After spending days sanding and refinishing our redwood slab counter tops, I did not want to put another of those damn wooded dish racks on it. We moved back into our house on Dec. 22, it is March and I like this dish rack as much as a person should like a dish rack. It is perfect. The diagram for setting it up was designed by a small family of squirrels in Romania, so I was forgiving of not quite knowing what the hell the little diagrams were suppose to be. I really had no idea what seemed like an extra piece was for, so I put it under the counter. It was a couple of weeks later when I looked at the picture here at Amazon that it went on top of that thing and is for drying knives. Well Boy Howdy, that was an extra bonus. If you are reading this review, then just go ahead and buy the thing. It will arrive, you set it up, looking out the window to catch a glance of a squirrel giving you the thumbs up. And zoowey, you find your spouse/partner/special someone is doing the dishes, and filled with love and devotion, your children are suddenly saying please and may I. Spouse and children forget about their phones and the dinner table is filled with laughter and witty conversation. If you are like me, you wake the next morning to find the void in your soul filled with a peace and harmony that you never knew possible. Laughing you think to yourself, all those years of ECT and who knew that all it would take is a well designed dish rack. If you don't like it, well it is Amazon and they have the greatest return policy online, so return it and put a nice snarky comment under here questioning my intelligence, sanity and how the existential crisis of the dark night did not in fact go away. UPDATE: It is coming on two years since I purchased this dish rack and my opinion has changed slightly, it is even BETTER than I first thought. It get daily use, we have heavy Fishs Eddy plates and dishes and not a single issue with loading the entire rack with the dishes from a dinner party. It looks as good today as the day I opened the box. Every other month I wipe the rack down with a vinegar/water solution because my artesian spring water is mineral rich. Doing this has prevented any mineral deposits from forming. The only thing that is has not been very efficient at is getting my spouse to unload the dish rack, instead choosing to create a delicate balancing act to get just one more thing on. I would buy it again, except I do not need to! What is better for the planet than well made products that do not need constant replacement. Update: 5 and half years This product continues to be fantastic. I have been using it daily for five and a half years now and it is still in good condition. I absolutely think it is the best dish rack ever made.
