ES-AOJ 1916 Metal Large Capacity Dish Drainer

For a decade I watched my wooden dish rack rot. I hated that dish rack. However, I genuinely couldn't bring myself to care enough to replace it... until it started growing a mould that glowed slightly in the dark. For reasons that are complex and immensely boring I purchased two dish racks. Both were used. One was a ridiculous thing that sat to one side of the sink and had a little spout that drained into the sink and has a valley of prongs that don't make life in any way easier... but make placing dishes a bit like a bad fairground game.The other was this. This was "the backup" in case the novelty fancy one was so useless it just shattered all my dishes. This, used in as good a condition as I assume it'll ever come in, was rather below retail and made of a wire generally only seen on rolls for tying plants to garden canes. I got it very cheaply and I still felt instantly robbed as my finger began to bleed.Now, don't get me wrong, it's not all bad... I'm exaggerating, it's not made of garden wire, it's made of the kind of steel you'd perhaps find flimsy toaster accessories coming in. Whilst many poor-quality items I have bought in my life have been missing plastic caps on the end of steel tubes, this in fact came with a spare handily inside one of the ends behind another one. Whilst this spare is not particularly accessible it can be jammed out the way with a chopstick so you can get one of the threaded metal rods of the rack through.Mmmm... firmly pressing together two threaded metal rods so they will go through the holes of the S-shaped metal rust-attractors... that give the rack a hint of a bisected art-deco rustswan... that's a feeling I'll treasure. The indentations in my thumbs may have faded after an hour or two but the the surprising resistance of the only rigid metal in the entire structure fighting to the last will not. These are then secured on either side of the rust-pipes by a nut and a closed cover nut. This will leave an attractive two-inches of threaded rod to remind you of the hell of putting it together.If you get bored, try to work out if the thing on the bottom of the cutlery bit is detachable... perhaps spend a while trying to prise it off with a knife trying to get better drainage because it seems like it's there for people who are using this dish rack on a counter instead of a draining board. Perhaps that's why there's a twisted plastic tray underneath the whole thing? Check the instructions? OF COURSE... oh wait... the instructions have been printed so spectacularly small that you will realise this dish rack was originally meant to be sold inside a Kinder egg. I am not joking when I say that to regular human vision the text on the instructions was indistinguishable from an anguished Morse code message sent from behind enemy lines torn from the leg of an exhausted carrier pigeon.The glass attachment will, if you place a glass of any weight on just one of the outside pegs, flip off spectacularly and startle your cat. Weirdly, if you remember to start at the middle it'll work fine. I mean... that's just weird.The rustswans surely, you are thinking, will instantly just reduce themselves to powdered russet horror? Well, you're wrong. This item is much more advanced than that... it has four clip on plastic feet I originally thought were to protect it in transport but were in fact to "protect it from death". Because this thing is surprisingly long... although not all that wide... and these feet are on the rust swans... it will JUST fit on my draining board but sometimes I have to prod it with my elbow to prevent the whole thing slipping into the sink. I could perhaps shorten it a bit using the threaded rods... although... as the cap nuts are... well... capped... it would just slowly spread underweight and eventually return to its attempts to throw itself into the abyss.Also plates and bowls go in this just fine. It's a bit narrow but that leaves plenty of my average, rubbish, bog-standard cheap sink draining board free for odds and ends that don't go on ANYTHING. It doesn't buckle under weight. It is very light and portable even though it will cut you if you rub at it... some of the plastic's wonky... well.. wait... ONE bit of plastic was straight. It weighs next to nothing.In its own way this absolutely horrible thing does, surprisingly, a perfectly good job. Vastly better than a surprising amount of the ridiculous "new idea" ones. That's because those ideas are stupid, not that this is good. This is not good. It is however tiny, light, and based on a system that does work. I hate it with every bone in my body. However, I also didn't buy another one because it does work. Plus, this may actually be so light and flimsy yet somehow strong that someone might want to send it into space.I know I do.

Es muy normalito pero para el precio que tienes resulta muy bien.No me ha costado nada montarlo.El que tenía antes era igual lo que pasa es que se oxidó y estaba para cambiar. Por lo menos me ha durado unos cuatro años.Más tarde o más temprano se oxida porque no es de inox.

Lo tengo desde hace menos de un mes y ya se ha oxidado en algunas zonas... Es util el soporte para los cubiertos pero la calidad deja mucho que desear.

Es grande, caben muchos platos, viene con una cestita para los cubiertos y un gancho para colgar tazas, diseño cromado y aparentemente inoxidable. Buena compra.

Lo siento pero debo decir que a las 2 semanas ya estaba robiñado o oxidado. No lo recomiendo.
