Pretty good, but pretty big.
Okay, so this sucker is LARGE. Don't get me wrong, I bought it because it said it was, and I wanted a place to store all my dishes, so I thought it'd work for me. And it would, but I decided to give it to my niece instead, and here's why:Okay, so I live in a tiny house. Not the kind of tiny that you see on that TV show, but like, really, really small. As such, cabinet space (and any space, really) is at a premium and utilized as best as it can be. So I saw this Loyalfire over the sink rack and thought, hey, this would work! I could use it as a drying rack, of course, but I could also just store all of my dishes on it and free up my kitchen cabinet for something else, right? Perfect! And it did work, and work well. It held the weight of all my dishes quite nicely, fit all of them, and gave me the vertical space I needed. So why did I give it to my niece, then?Well, I was a bit disappointed because it's too big for my tiny house. I mean, granted, it could appear huge in contrast to a tiny house, but I honestly believe it is quite large, and it'll hold a ton of stuff. Sturdy as heck. My niece fell in love with it. I was in a giving mood. So it's gone. Not because it's a bad product (it's not), but because I love my niece and want her to have nice things. This is a nice thing.I give it five stars because it's large, sturdy, easy to assemble, and everything it says it is in the description. Someone in another review said to beware of sharp edges, and I agree completely. Be careful, please! I almost got cut myself, but if you're cautious and paying attention to what you're doing, you should be fine. Once the thing is up and in place, the edges are no longer a concern (unless you plan to move it around a lot, but, why would you do that?)Some other reviewer said that the utensil holder wasn't big enough. They're correct. It's tiny for such a large rack, so I don't know what they were thinking. If I had kept it, I would've been on the look out for an additional holder that I could add to it. So buyer beware, there. I nearly gave it four stars because of that one issue alone, but decided against it because over all it's a pretty darn good rack, and the product description is pretty accurate.Give 'er a go, especially if you need that vertical space. Oh, and it works well as a dish drying rack, too. Love how they drip down in the sink, as long as you have it positioned right. Too far back, and you risk getting behind your sink wet. And it does suck that when you place the wet dishes, water tends to roll down your sleeve, but it is what it is. Take the bad with the good, ya know?

A perfect heavy-duty addition for too-small kitchens.
This is a fantastic dish-drying rack, it’s exactly what I was hoping for. I was needing a rack exactly like this, and I wanted to maximize the amount of shelf space. This seems to be *the* rack that gives you the most square-feet of usable space, and it also seems to be the most heavy-duty rack of this type available online. You can even choose to leave off the big “Loyalfire” brand name badge when you assemble it.Assembly was a little bit of a pain, one or two of the holes weren’t aligned quite correctly between the frame and shelf pieces which made it a pain to screw those particular bolts in, but it wasn’t so far off as to make assembly impossible, just had to work at it for a minute.Like others have mentioned, I wish that the silverware bucket attachment was bigger, or they should have at least given us one more of those pieces since there are two empty potential spaces after all of the attachments are hung. Surprisingly all of my silverware does fit in the one bucket, but they have to be packed in pretty tightly. They could have also put a little more thought into the “knife rack” attachment, it works but it could be better.Anyway, we’ve got a small house and a small kitchen so this thing is dope, I have a fairly wide kitchen sink and I was worried that it would end up being too short, but we actually didn’t have to extend it to the full width; however, if I extend it much more than it already is then the shelves start to sag in the middle. They don’t sag in a way that suggests that it would actually collapse or would be dangerous, it’s just the two halves of the shelf pieces, and they are on a sliding rail that prevents the halves from separating, so it should be able to accommodate just about any double kitchen sink.This rack has pretty much become the permanent storage space for our most commonly used dishes, and it’s awesome to have this whole unit dedicated to dish drying and storage because previously we were putting a plastic drying rack a folding table in the center of the kitchen, and we had a few incidents where dishes that were drying got knocked over and had to be rinsed again. Glad to be done with that nonsense, this rack has really freed up a ton of space as well as a sizable portion of our limited cabinet real estate.I would absolutely recommend this rack to anyone who is in a similar situation with a small kitchen. I also purchased two of those five-shelf black wire racks that match the color of this dish-drying rack, and I stood up one of them, and I split the other one in half and used the two halves to make shelves to sit on our kitchen counter. After two years in this house, all of these improvements together have made it a breeze to navigate our kitchen and know where everything should go.

Sturdy and functional
I looked at many of these racks and settled on this one for several reasons. It said it was made of stainless steel and had two racks rather than one, which made me think it would be worth the extra money this one cost. So far, I believe I made a great decision. It is very sturdy, I'm happy with the second rack, and the hanging things for knives, silverware, and cups/glasses work pretty well. The cutting board holder holds two cutting boards. It does slide around a bit, but one of my boards is very large so that may affect it. I wanted to get things off my counter tops to make my kitchen more functional and this has worked very well to do that. You have to wipe up the water that doesn't drip in the sink, but you need to wipe your counter tops anyway, so this is not an issue for me. The directions to put it together were minimal and it definitely needs two people to put it together in my opinion, but they provided extra bolts and nuts, which was appreciated. The bolts and nuts were rough and cut up my fingers some, so you might watch out for that. The brand name decoration is optional, which I also appreciated. My daughter-in-law felt it had a very European feel and thought I was very trendy when I showed the family a picture.
