The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
Yup. Also: I'm tall, so now I can't see everything that's in the sink. It also needs some kind of anti-tip measure if the suggested use is to keep heavy dishes up high like that. Also, I'm not convinced this is sanitary - are we gonna get raw-chicken-water-splashback onto clean plates?
How often is your raw chicken in the sink
It's a DRYING rack, it isn't meant to be permanent storage. You wash the dishes after dinner, and place them in the rack. The next morning, after they've dried, the first thing you do is put them all back in the cabinets.
However, I acknowledge that a LOT of people won't bother with the second step.
My short ass finds some of this helpful but not enough! It's going to be difficult to get some of the stuff from the back of the top rack for me. More room though...
~~This looks like AI.
Why's the drain on the side?
What are those cinnamon sticks?
Why put fruit on the drying rack?
Blurry ass soap labels.
The whisk and ladle are oddly placed.~~
Alas. I was bamboozled. It's real crap on Wayfair, and it's modular. It's just set up in a dumb way for the pictures.
I actually have this thing. The knife thing is annoying and it just sits on the back acting as a brace for the dishsoap bottle. The cutting board rack is kinda dumb because it just dries onto your counter.
But the baskets are nice because they drain into the sink. It was a really cheap kitchen improvement purchase I don't regret.
What it needs though are raised rubber gasket lined feet so it doesn't hold bits of water under the base you have to lift and wipe up. It's cheap material and easily modified.

Yeah, that was the first thing I found out, looking at the picture.
One would have to tilt the holder backward to take out the knife and then make a very unnatural feeling motion to get it towards themselves. Even worse if there is no space behind the rack (there is a window in the picture that will enable that if opened)
Nah that’s just in the pictured configuration. The baskets and all the accessories just hook onto the rack frame so you can move things around to whatever config you want. Do the dish baskets on top of each other and leave the ‘flatter’ bits (like the knife block) for over the actual sink, much better config. Thirty second job even with the dishes on them.
