Modern kitchens are notoriously cluttered and dish drying racks often do not help the cause, taking up usable space and leaving stagnant greywater to stain countertops or worse cause mold. Solving that problem is a holiday miracle, an over the sink dish drying rack. The stainless steel parts will prevent rusting, while the over the sink design will allow dishes to drain right into the sink. Relieving the stress of losing space and pesky water stains or mold.
