Premium Racks Professional Dish Rack (Standard)

Sometimes you can just tell when a company designs a product not just to be competitive but to establish themselves at the top of the market.This dish rack is fantastic and fits that category.We used to switch between those cheap slim Rubbermaid plastic dish racks (ended up breaking eventually and forcing us to buy a new one yearly) or the (also cheap) metal ones that would rust and look disgusting after months of use. We decided instead to be smarter and spend a little more on a quality dish rack that would serve us for years.Well, I researched deeply and decided to go for a premium looking stainless steel version, compared all the options and price ranges, discarded poorly designed ones (Looking at you, simplehuman's overpriced gigantic-yet-only-one-level rack) and settled for this one.The product is even better than it already looks on the pictures.The build quality is superb, this is thick stainless steel and not one of those thin options that will bend with heavy dishes or pots. The plastic pieces are robust as well and feel like they can take a beating, this isn't your "Replace it yearly if you have a large family" dish rack.It's big and can fit a great amount of dishes, but since it doesn't have unnecesary plastic parts or cumbersome design, plus the spectacular modular (and top shelf) approach allows you to rebuild this to fit your need and space.Pretty much everything can be removed or rearranged, the top shelf, the knives or utensil holders can be removed or placed wherever it suits you and it comes with 2 drain boards and a thick microfiber.Right now we are using everything that came with it, but we'll probably remove the cutting board attachment since we don't use that much and could make room to place more cup holders there.Forgot to mention, as you can tell from the pictures, this dish rack has a beautiful design and will definitely get some looks by kitchen trespassers.I will update the review in the future if anything arrises, but the build quality and design alone tells me this will take a beating for years.Now I only need to bug premiumracks often so they'll start selling their cup attachments on amazon as well.

As a single male with a tiny kitchen, no dishwasher and little interest in washing dishes EVERY night, this dish rack is perfect. One of the top features is its convertibility. I tried about six different configurations before settling on the one shown in the photos. Fits my sink/countertop perfectly. Another great feature is the two-tier design; adds so much room! And for those who are worried that might cause stability problems, check out the photo of my giant wooden cutting board in the holder all by itself. The rack is still rocksolid stable. The two plastic drain boards are another plus. I put the larger ribbed one flat on the countertop and the draining non-ribbed one at a right angle over that to drain into the sink. This configuration catches all drips from the knife holder and silverware bin. I decided to mount the 3 glass holders inboard on the rack and have not regretted that decision. The microfiber towel is a nice additional touch. Mine lives rolled up behind the rack and will be used to drain large pots and pans, etc. If I could change one minor thing it would be to eliminate the ribs in the large plastic drain board. The water where I live is wicked full of lime and the ribs just make it more difficult to wipe dry. Also, the stainless steel construction of this rack is mandatory due to the corrosive nature of the water here.This leads me to one small issue which is IN NO WAY a fault of the product, rather a fault of my not doing enough research. PremiumRacks makes a rack identical in size, shape and features to this one but made out of a more corrosive resistant stainless steel (comes with a 3 year warrentee against rust/corrosion). It costs $10 more which I would’ve readily paid had I known of its existence before placing this order.Yes, I’m way happy with this purchase!

Why did I want to buy this? Clean lines, separate knife area, capacity, cutting board drying area.Reality?- Second level only useful for small items because wall cabinets limit space for full size or small dishes.- As pictured, utensil tray is difficult to get to because it’s behind the upper tray, it’s an inconvenient stretch and I’m a big guy. Technically, it is reversible according to the instructions...but then the opening to the lower tray is about 2” smaller due to utensil tray, those semi-circle wires make it harder to align plates (because full plates don’t fit under the second rack), and the cup holders work but don’t latch as sturdy due to the rack design. If you get rid of the second rack, I don’t know if you lose the knife holder, may try and see later. But I wanted a second tray, for small items. So...it’s a compromise.The knife rack works great for steak knives...not so great for my bigger chef knives, though I’m sure some chef knives might fit. I might take the cap off and fill it with cut off bamboo skewers to fit any knife.One more reality the side drainage system would have been nicer if it went the length of the rack on each side. Why? Because my cutting board is the length of the rack. And three cup holders? Odd number...option for 4 would have been nicer.Overall, it’s a nice functional rack. I do like that it’s modular so that I can change it as needed. I liked that they also provided a nice think terry towel mat, drip dray, and a drip tray that tray that drains into the sink. In general I got what I wanted, but it could have been a little better. If the side drainage was full-length, more cup holders, and the semi circles were not there (those could have been upper rack), then I would have given it a five.
