Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Like other reviewers, we searched local stores and online in vain to replace our stained and ancient Rubbermaid. Everything now has the wrong proportion. We finally found this, and despite the warnings about the flimsy quality, the proportion was right, and it seemed our only choice. Bad decision. This drainer "board" is not only thin and soft, but the outflow end is so warped that the corners are lower than the lip, so water accumulates there. And you can't just lift the far end to drain it, either; the "board" is too pliable, so you have to lift up the dish drainer separately. In our futile quest, we had looked at Bed Bath & Beyond with no luck. But just last week we were there for something else, and SURPRISE -- they were stocked with the drainer board of our dreams! The brand is "My Perfect Kitchen," Large Horizontal Drainboard." (You can currently find it on the BB&B website under either "Real Home Large Clear Drain Board" or "Large Drain Board in Clear.") It's not only exactly what we wanted, but we love the look of the clear material, AND it costs 50% LESS than the "Better Houseware" drainer! We have repurposed the "Better Houseware" drainer mat for drying off our shoes after cleaning them in the utility sink . . . waste not, want not.
