Organization for tight kitchens
Mugs and forks, handled
In a small kitchen, clutter shows fast. The six-cup mug stand and dedicated cutlery holder keep cups upright and utensils together, so the drying zone stays tidy instead of tangled.
Dry counter, no rust
Standing water warps counters and spots cheap racks. The removable drip tray channels runoff away while the rust-resistant chrome frame and silicone feet keep the setup steady and clean.
Small-space drying
Full organization in a footprint your counter can spare.

Why the 16-inch rack fits smaller kitchens
Against the generic oversized rack
A giant rack overwhelms a small counter and blocks prep space. This 16-inch model still holds up to 18 plates over two tiers while leaving room to actually cook.
Against the generic single-tier rack
One flat tier fills fast and spills mugs onto plates. Two R-shaped tiers plus a six-cup mug stand and cutlery holder keep every item sorted in a compact frame.
Against the generic tray-less rack
Racks without a tray leave water pooling on the counter. The removable plastic drip tray catches runoff and lifts out to rinse, and the chrome frame resists rust.
How many dishes does it hold?
The 16-inch model holds up to 18 plates across two tiers, with a side mug stand for up to 6 cups and a cutlery holder for utensils.
Is this smaller than the 22-inch rack?
Yes. This is the compact 16-inch version, sized for apartments and smaller counters. Choose the 22-inch model if you regularly wash big loads.
Does it come with a drip tray?
Yes. A removable plastic draining tray sits below to catch water and keep your counter dry, and it lifts out for easy rinsing.
How fast will it ship and can I return it?
Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.

Does the job.
I purchased two of these as gifts for family members moving into new places. And they absolutely loved this dish rack. It looks extremely sturdy. It does look just like it’s pictured. It is not flimsy at all. It’s very thick. It holds all the dishes that you need it hold silverware it holds dishes, bowls, and glasses and there’s just enough room for everything. I would definitely recommend this for yourself or as a gift for housewarming.

So Functional and Attractive
I am so pleased with this dishrack-both aesthetically and functionally! It holds so much; yet takes up little space on my small counter! I also am very pleased with how it looks! It has an "artistic" appearance that I love! It is easy to clean, and is so shiny, too! I highly recommend it-especially if you have limited counter space!
