I just have a dishwasher so this would be a bit overkill.

If space was at a premium, sure, but I'd hate to have this in our kitchen.

Unless that window has a view of a brick wall I agree. Also butcher block with a drying rack dripping on it isn't gonna last long.

I have one of these and it's pretty cool. The knife holder thing sucks ass though, idk who thought that was a good idea.

Magnificent.

Those knives would get absolutely backsplashed by bacteria.

They'd also be very difficult to place and remove.

Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

yeah I own one cause even though I have a dishwasher there's some stuff that's hand wash only and you can use it for handy storage too like yours

This is normal in Italy. Just the rack would be higher.

Bit performative hanging out the huge cleavers that you only use when there are guests around for dinner. Where’s the weird little serrated knife with a plastic handle?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I just pull mine out to scare the children

Looks terrible. I can't use the sink without worrying about splashing the clean dishes. Disgusting. And they're practically just hanging in my way.

I once had a tiny apartment and considered something like that. But it was too large to fit the space....

We just got one of these a couple weeks ago, my mom and I got to crack up over this, thank you. Who knows how many more laughs I'll be able to share with her before death comes knocking.

I’ve showed my mother things like this once and she was very not at all excited at the idea of one in our kitchen.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks neat and space efficient, but I have questions about why someone keeps fruit next to the dishes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Don't worry, they're plastic.

i would've loved this as a kid but i had a Bad Childhood

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I was watching cat videos and ended up pausing so I could admire the nice stairs this person had.

Cute cat too but them stairs! Dang!

(Then I realized I am old and sad lol)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm old, and I actually hate this...

How awkward it must be to try to remove the knives. And why is the fruit in the top right? The cutting boards are going to leak all over the counter after you wash them.

Also, I have a dishwasher... So this is just a great way to block the window in front of most sinks for no good reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're the only person who mentioned the window.

An efficient way to drain dishware is great, but looking out the window when you're in the kitchen brings much joy.

And a window can be an emergency fire escape.
