Stainless Steel Dish Drain Board (Side Opening)

This is the best dish draining pan I've ever had, and it's the only one I could find that was large enough to hold the Daisy Dish Rack - Stainless Steel - Never Rust - EXTRA Large from the Oakware store. They are a perfect match, (but I could not order them from the same store). This dish draining pan is very sturdy, easy to clean, and best of all, RUST FREE. If you ever see rust on it, it's from some rusty item in the dish drainer, and not the drain pan itself. You will most likely have to deal with hard water spots because hard water is everywhere, (but they were equally visible on a cheap, black, plastic drain pan that was discarded), but the trade off for an extra large, very sturdy, stainless steel dish draining pan was worth it. The included care instructions recommend using a plastic or stainless steel pad and baking soda or vinegar to remove hard water spots--absolutely NO chlorine. I have found that Bar Keeper's Friend works beautifully as it is a very mild scrubbing agent (I'm not sure if it is manufacturer-approved, but it is very gentle to use on many materials). If I want extra shine, I use a non-abrasive, stainless steel polish (which I rarely do). I do not clean it more than once a week because after all, the dish rack is full of clean dishes and I rarely see the drain pan. I just cleaned it this morning; zoom into the picture to see the dry water spots. If you are super particular about hard water spots, this may not be for you. However, if you are a practical person, and having a drain pan that holds a large dish rack that holds lots of dishes, is important to you, and you don't mind the price, you will appreciate this high quality product.

I love this thing!!! I love its American made, love the size, the tilt so water runs out of it. I seriously love it!

Its beautiful, big enough to accommodate dish rack plus room for cups to hang off the edge and still catch drips. Love that its Amish made and should literally last my lifetime. Similar to others reviews, once over the edge of the sink it makes the angle for drainage slightly less so sometimes I just tip it up by hand or wipe up woth a towel. It's shiny and lovely. Super happy with this purchase!!

We do a lot of cooking and a lot of dishes. We've been looking for the ideal dish drainer setup for decades. This drain board is the nicest thing I've seen yet. It looks good, it's easy to clean, and it keeps water off the counters. No regrets at all. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat, and we recommend it to all our friends. I'm reserving a fifth star for the perfect drain board, and I hope this company makes it. Here's what makes this one fall short of perfection: First, it needs rubber feet. Without them, it slides around too much, especially when manipulating large items in the drain basket. Second, it suffers from stagnant pooling. This is due to the drain board not being perfectly flat - ours has a low spot in one corner where the angled edge begins. I expect that not all of them have this problem, but sheets of metal that have been formed and welded can have some residual stress that keeps them from being perfectly flat. We also have a drop-in (as opposed to undermount) sink, which means that the lip of the sink is just a bit above the counter surface. The way this drain board is designed, the edge of the drain board ends up resting on the raised lip of the sink. This reduces the slope of the drain board and makes the puddle problem worse. We added rubber feet, but we still get a little puddle which has to be cleaned out every day or two. I love this one, but I'm looking forward to the next model.

Well made , quality Stainless Steel. Replaces my Simple Human dish rack drain board which was clear plastic and got yellow and brittle and wasn’t especially robust. This will last a very long time not flimsy or “ bendy” no flexing when heavy load of dishes are on it. Precise measurements and smooth rounded over edges.

This product is soooo much better than a standard plastic/rubber dish drain. It does not bend over time or create pockets of indentation where the water collects. The metal is easy to clean, drains well, is much more sanitary, and looks much nicer. We do not have a dishwasher, so this has been in constant use for a year, still looks great. I think it will work well for many years, saving money over the long run.

The main reason we bought this expensive tray is that it is made of stainless steel which is healthier and last forever. And now the list of needed improvements: - I wish the welded corners were more polished. - There are some sharp edges on the front folded tips. - The back raiser is a bit too high; a one inch raiser would be enough. Overall it is a perfect size tray for our stainless steel dish rack and the counter sink.

I am writing this review after 2 years of ownership. This fantastic product is made in the USA, apparently in Amish country! It is high quality construction without sharp edges, and it does its intended job which is to drain well into a sink. It has a 1" leg spot-welded underneath toward the rear end of the drain board which gives it a nice pitch, not too high, and it is quite steady. This drain board will accommodate a large drainer facing in either direction, and water dripping from glassware or mugs with drip onto the board and not your counter. In 2 years of daily use there is no rust anywhere, and I have never encountered any water spots, either! I highly recommend this drain board and have no doubt that I'll ever have to replace it! Buying American-made made products is good for our country!
