Large, Clear Drain Board

I was a little afraid to buy this, as there were a number of people who wrote negative reveiws. Since there were almost no other dish trays that were the dimensions that I needed, I went ahead and bought it. Well, it's been months now and all I can say is that it is the best drainer I am yet to own! Love it, would buy it again in a heartbeat. It drains exceptionally well, love that it is clear, has not warped or anything, it is really sturdy and looks so much better on the counter than my previous drainer. Highly recommend.

I can't imagine someone complaining that this is too small for their dish rack. It's very large. I live in California, home of a severe drought, and this means that I hand wash dishes a lot, setting soapy dishes aside and then rinsing everything at once, trying not to run water when I'm not actively rinsing. I use an in-sink drying rack. I needed somewhere to put the soapy dishes as putting them directly on the counter top was soaking into the grout in my tile counter too much. It's also good for air drying large items that don't fit in the rack.I'm sure this will last for many years and maintain its good looks. The only negative is the question of where to store it when not actively in use. It's been awhile since I've used a counter top drain board, but this just seems large. Or my previous ones were quite small. Not sure.Highly recommend.

It's gotten almost impossible to get a drain board big enough to fit my large dish drainer. This never used to be a problem, but I think that now almost everyone has a dishwasher, they are making smaller dish drainers. As my own dishwasher, I need a regular-sized dish drainer and this pan fits my drainer!Others have remarked on the design of the lip not allowing the water to drain properly and I found this to be the case too, even though the drainer has a downward slope to the lip. I solved the problem by putting a 1 inch board under the treads in the back of the drain board. I have noticed that if I don't get the lip positioned all the way over the sink, I do get water under the drain board, so I have to watch it.Otherwise, it's the right size, very sturdy, and it's actually pretty. I recommend it for those of us who have regular-sized drainers.

I bought a ridiculously expensive fancy pants dish drainer and hated the two (yes, two) different trays that were included. They were too small (for my taste) and water just sat in them. This tray is wide, has some tilt, and I love that it's clear. It drains from narrow end, as I needed, and extends past the drainer on all sides. It is sturdy. I tilt it when empty to run the water out-- the angle isn't steep enough to fully drain on its own. My drainer's feet sit perfectly in it. Check your measurements and drainer orientation-- if they work, buy this without hesitation.

It's a strong drain board and would be perfect. From the picture I though that it would be a side drain. It is an end drain. Difficult to return as the 'bag' it is shipped in was so difficult to open I had to cut it apart. The return instructions were excellent however. I gave the drain board to someone whom liked it however. So all is not lost.

I am using this under a 1990's vintage small Rubermade wire dish drainer rack. There is enough space to have a few items sitting on the drain board outside of the dish drainer rack. I like that this is clear and that I can see my countertop through it. This makes the countertop look bigger and has a clearer look than the solid 1990's vintage drain board that it has replaced. This is also nicely angled and allows water to drain off...I am sure this depends on how your sink is installed- undermount or drop in. I am very happy with this purchase.

We were using some perfectly flat lipped trays to dry the dishes on, and those obviously didn't drain at all. This drain board is slightly better, but not much. I like its large size--you can put a lot of dishes on it.Bowed edges: Unfortunately, out of the box, my board bowed up at the edges. You could actually give it a spin and it would go round and round on the counter. The bottom is smooth and slick, providing little friction with the counter. Once there are a few dishes on it, it will stay in place, but when empty, any bump or tap will send it spinning and sliding across the counter. I attempted to alleviate this by warming it up a bit in a low temp oven. The board became pliable enough that setting it on the counter and holding down on the raised areas until it cooled fixed the issue. It now sits flat. Additionally, I lightly sanded the bottom fins to make them less slick where they touch the counter. That seems to have helped a bit too.Not sloped enough : I find myself lifting up one end and holding the dishes down to try to get the water to run out. Since this is called a "drain board", I'm not too happy with its performance in that regard, especially since I'm placing dishes directly on the board and not using a dish drainer on top of it. If you pour a cup of water on the board, it will drain off, but less than that and it will just pool. Physics being what they are, not sure what could be done about that, other than coating it with one of those hydrophobic coatings...Be cautious of the seller/price. In my case, the seller was AliGlobal. They charged $17.54 for the board. When it arrived, it came in a "Bed Bath & Beyond" box, and there was a "Bed Bath & Beyond" price sticker on it for $7.99--less than half the cost!
