I have never liked dish racks, they get so stinky with the mats below them, plus they are not cute and take up so much room! And I do not feel like hiding it away when done all the time. I started using this option a while ago and it works great! Caveat: it’s not meant to get/stay wet so you have to keep it dry, particularly below it once you take items off. But it has worked for me!
