Double the dishes, same counter

Description
Better Chef DR-2201 22-Inch 2-Tier Chrome Dish Rack Set
At a Glance
- Double-decker drying: two full tiers of chrome-plated steel wire handle plates, bowls, glasses, and cookware in one footprint.
- Complete 4-piece set: 2-tier rack, detachable stainless steel self-draining tray, 3-compartment cutlery holder, and a dedicated mug stand.
- Stainless where it matters: the drain tray under the rack is stainless steel, not plastic.
- Steady on the counter: soft non-slip silicone feet keep the rack planted through daily loading.
- Light-lifting build: the whole set weighs just 2.75 lbs, so cleaning day is a one-hand job.
When one tier fills up before the sink empties, you need altitude. The Better Chef DR-2201 stacks two full drying levels into a 22-inch chrome frame, then finishes the job with a stainless self-draining tray, a three-compartment cutlery holder with knife slots, and a mug stand that finally gives your cups a home.
Key Features
- Two-tier capacity: dinner plates and heavy items ride below while glasses, bowls, and lids dry up top, doubling capacity in one rack's footprint.
- Detachable self-draining board: the stainless steel tray channels water away on its own instead of pooling under your dishes.
- 3-compartment cutlery holder: forks, spoons, and knives dry separated, with dedicated knife slots for safe blade-down storage. It lifts out to unload straight into the drawer.
- Built-in mug stand: mugs and cups hang to drip-dry instead of hogging flat rack space.
- Chrome-plated steel wire: a bright polished finish over a sturdy steel frame that wipes clean in seconds.
- Non-slip silicone feet: soft feet grip the counter and protect it from scratches.
- Every piece separates: rack, board, tray, and cutlery holder all come apart for easy cleaning.
Before You Buy
- Dry it between uses: the wire frame is chrome-plated steel, not solid stainless. Only the drain tray is stainless steel, so towel the frame off after the dishes are put away.
- Check your clearance: the assembled rack stands about 17 inches tall and 22 inches wide. Measure under your wall cabinets before buying.
- Load smart: at a featherweight 2.75 lbs, the silicone feet keep it steady, but put heavy pots and pans on the bottom tier and save the top for glasses and lightweight pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Is the whole rack stainless steel?
The drain tray is stainless steel; the wire frame is chrome-plated steel. Towel the frame dry between uses and it will keep its bright polished finish for years.
What are the four pieces?
The 2-tier wire rack, the detachable stainless self-draining board, the removable 3-compartment cutlery holder with knife slots, and the mug stand.
Will it fit under my wall cabinets?
The assembled rack measures 15 x 17 x 22 inches, so check for roughly 17 inches of clearance above your counter before ordering.
Can it hold pots and pans?
Yes. Load cookware and heavy plates on the bottom tier where the frame is most stable, and keep glasses, bowls, and lids on the upper level.
Does the cutlery holder come out?
Yes. It is fully removable with three compartments plus knife slots, so you can carry the dry flatware straight to the drawer and rinse the holder itself.
Care & Use▼
Set the rack on a level counter beside the sink with the self-draining board angled to shed water where you want it. Load heavy cookware and dinner plates on the bottom tier, glasses and light pieces up top, mugs on the stand, and flatware blade-down in the knife slots. After each load is put away, empty the stainless tray and towel the chrome frame dry. Hand wash all components with warm soapy water; skip abrasive scrubbers to protect the chrome plating.

Why two tiers beat a bigger rack
A tray that drains itself
Plastic trays pool stale water until someone remembers to dump them. The detachable stainless steel board is built to self-drain, channeling runoff away so dishes dry over metal, not a puddle.
Cutlery sorted, mugs hung
Flatware piled flat never dries and mugs steal prime rack space. Three compartments with knife slots stand utensils properly, and the mug stand drip-dries cups off to the side.

How it stacks up
Against the single-tier rack
One level fills before the sink is half empty, and mugs steal the last open slots. Two stacked tiers plus a dedicated mug stand dry a full family load in one pass.
Against the plastic drainer set
Plastic racks bow under cookware and their trays collect standing water. This chrome-plated steel frame holds its shape, and the stainless self-draining board sheds runoff on its own.
Against the over-sink roll-up mat
Roll-up mats only work while the sink stays empty and hold a single flat layer. This freestanding two-tier rack keeps drying capacity available even mid-wash, cutlery and mugs included.
Is the whole rack stainless steel?
The drain tray is stainless steel; the wire frame is chrome-plated steel. Towel the frame dry between uses and it will keep its bright polished finish for years.
What are the four pieces?
The 2-tier wire rack, the detachable stainless self-draining board, the removable 3-compartment cutlery holder with knife slots, and the mug stand.
Will it fit under my wall cabinets?
The assembled rack measures 15 x 17 x 22 inches, so check for roughly 17 inches of clearance above your counter before ordering.

Yes. Load cookware and heavy plates on the bottom tier where the frame is most stable, and keep glasses, bowls, and lids on the upper level.
Does the cutlery holder come out?
Yes. It is fully removable with three compartments plus knife slots, so you can carry the dry flatware straight to the drawer and rinse the holder itself.
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.
