Very Nice - half-size bamboo rack/holder
I purchased the small (half-size) bamboo rack/holder alone. (I think it's labeled "medium," because at one point it came with a size medium kitchen apron, but I bought the holder alone without an apron.) I'm really pleased with this purchase.This rack has 8 vertical pegs creating 4 spaces between the pegs. It arrived with the vertical pegs already inserted and I just had to put the 2 horizontal pieces into place. I liked that the vertical pegs were already installed and they don't come off (at least haven't yet). The two horizontal small horizontal pieces lined up perfectly with the two side base pieces and fit together tightly without having to use a hammer or mallet to put them together. I wanted this smaller size rack, because it takes up less space on my counter than a longer one. There was only one tiny rough spot on one of the pegs; otherwise it is very smooth all around with rounded corners on the two horizontal base pieces.The dimensions shown in the product description photo (14 x 11.5 x 12 cm) are a little off. Mine is 18.3 cm L x 12.8 cm W x 10.8 cm H, the pegs (area exposed from the base) are 8.7 cm long (not 10cm), and the space between the pegs is 3cm for three of the spaces and 2.5 cm for one of the spaces -- IF that matters to you, such as if you needed it to fit in a particular space.I see that some purchases were disappointed in mold developing on the bottom of this product. I won't be using this as a dish drying rack, so I'm not anticipating any problems with mold, but, one way to limit any mold growth would be to thoroughly coat the bamboo with food-grade mineral oil or coconut oil, wipe off excess with a clean absorbent towel or paper towel, and let it air dry overnight. The oil creates a protective seal that will act as a water repellent. Repeat the process periodically to maintain the water repellent benefit.

Great for drying reusable silicone bags
I bought this to dry my reusable silicone bags. It works great and the bags dry much better being able to open them. This is the perfect thing.

Poorly made - threw it out
First, the cross braces that were sent were too big to fit in the holes to put the sides together. I sanded them down quite a bit to get them to fit. Then, the second time I put a small plate into the rack, the whole thing fell apart and the two dishes in the rack nearly broke. Another review mentions theirs arriving without the wood being finished. Given these two different quality control issues, theirs and mine, I would recommend against ordering this. It's a classic design and plenty of others from other vendors are being sold here... go with one of those instead. This was junk.

Exactly what you'd make in shop class
Great value for the cost. It's a basic dish rack: press fit dowles and two slats of wood. You could throw this together in 10 minutes with a drill press and band saw. That said, I don't have either so I'm happy to pay a few dollars for it. I'm using it in a china cabinet, so the dishes will likely never be removed from the rack. It's a bit flimsy and rough, so don't expect this to be a good drying rack.

Somewhat chintzy product: unfinished wood.
It arrived exactly as pictured. It came without any finish coat; I got a splinter while assembling it. I was easily able to remove the splinter with tweezers. I had to use a small hammer to seat the pegs in their holes: snug fit. My assembly produced a slightly lop sided finished product. I tried twisting it straight. I failed. I feared breaking it if I twisted any harder, so there it sits. It holds my paper plates fine and would likely do the same with "real" plates. Time will tell of its durability.
