BRIAN & DANY Aluminum Dish Drying Rack, Dish Drainer with Removable Cutlery Holder & Cup Holder, Unique 360° Swivel Spout Drain Board

We have a very awkward sized sink top. The problem we have is the mixer tap encroaches into the sink top meaning that most draining racks are too big. This one is perfect. The bottom tray sits under the tap because it’s not very high , still allowing us to turn on the water but the actual rack is smaller so it fits neatly at the side of the tap. The measurements are accurate so I’d check before ordering….don’t forget the position of your tap. I knew after a lot of research and checking all the measurements that the add on glass holder would not fit over the sink and I was happy to still order this and just dispose of the holder provided. However for the sake of writing a review I did check it. It fitted tightly and it’s shape held even tumblers safely. I think if I had of used it I would have made sure that there were other items in the rack to balance out the weight of the glasses or it may have tipped up. There are just the two of us at home so the draining rack is plenty big enough for us. The plate holders are much better than my previous rack. Very sturdy and they hold the plates at a really good angle allowing optimum drying. As you can see from my picture it easily holds a full sized dinner plate. The cutlery holder is plenty large enough and I really like the bamboo top so you can insert sharp knives giving protection from the blades. This is removable if you don’t want it on. The flat section holds four glasses or mugs easily. I love the finish on the rack. Im sure it’s not going to easily rust. It also seems to drain away excess water much better than my old one. The bottom tray is shaped to encourage the water down the drain hole and the funnel that you direct into your sink works well. It’s can be turned around so whichever side your sink is you can position it accordingly. The bottom tray is plastic so it shouldn’t scratch your sink. I do have a protective mat under mine just in case. To date I haven’t found anything I don’t like. I can’t tell you how much better this is than my old one. It looks smart, does the job well and I’m really pleased I bought it. My friend called for coffee and she commented on how nice it looks and took away the details so I take that as a further endorsement. I can definitely recommend this draining rack but be sure you measure everything before you order.

Looks nice but importantly, it has all the add ons you would need for utensils and cups. Seems good quality. The wooden bit to stab the knives in might need hammering in as it doesn't fit very well.

This black aluminium dish drying rack by BRIAN & DANY is well-built and looks great on the worktop with its sleek black finish. The aluminium frame feels sturdy and is also resistant to rust, whilst the removable cutlery and cup holders are very handy features. The 360° swivel spout for drainage is a great feature as it makes it easy to adjust and ensures water flows directly into the sink, keeping the counter dry.However, for me this has one major flaw which made me return it. Even though I returned the product, I thought it necessary to do the review to outline how good this product really is and what I saw as a flaw, someone may think of it as a benefit and wish to keep the product. I just felt that the raised section designed for plates takes up a significant amount of space even when it’s not in use. The dish rack I was looking to replace this with has a small A shaped bit (without the cross section of the A) that sits in the middle of the plates, and there is nothing raised either side, leaving more room for additional cutlery either side to the plates. The problem with this design is that for each plate they have a raised section, whereby the raised bits cover the entire width of the plates, with two upside down U shapes at each end of the raised bits that support the plates. Whilst this design supports the plates better, it just takes up too much space, as that whole raised section is still there when the plates are not inside it and the space around the raised section is still more or less unusable. This obviously limits the available space for dying other things, like bowls, cups, cutlery, etcOverall I would say this is an excellent choice for smaller households where you may not need as much space or you don't have as many flat plates. If the raised section had a more flexible or collapsible design, it would have been much more versatile and I would have kept it as I liked everything else about this, and that includes the price.

Really pleased with this purchase. It looks great, it's a good size and does what it's supposed to. It's sturdy, easy to clean - just really happy with it. Would easily recommend. Good value for the money.

Good size quality item. Holds lot of dishes. Drains well . Looks sleek in my kitchen. Love it.

We have tried so many drainers and have spent a considerable amount of money trying to find one that works.This is the one.It fits nicely on the sink drain, it’s not too big as many are and is a decent size for a family of four. It looks smart and is very well made.It holds deeper plates with curved edges, which many don’t.A nice touch with the wooden knife wrack.Very stylish, good quality and value for money.

Great quality, sturdy and beautiful. A little smaller than I expected but holds enough dishes for a family. The tray at the bottom is a bonus which drains too! Would 100% recommend this dish rack!!

Bought this as the colour goes with the handles on my drawers and cupboards.Looked good and plenty of space but the metal parts come out of the slots and need to keep glueing in.
