2-tier dish drying racks double drying capacity without doubling counter space, and this stainless steel drainer stacks plates on one level and bowls, cutlery and pot lids on another. A full sink of washing-up goes straight onto the rack rather than into two rounds. Everstock built it in stainless because a drying rack is permanently wet and anything coated eventually chips and rusts underneath.
The upper tier holds plates and pot lids upright in slots so water runs off their faces, while the lower tier takes bowls, mugs and a cutlery section. A drain channel carries run-off toward the sink instead of letting it collect under the rack, which is what keeps the counter beneath from staying damp. The metal frame is welded rather than clipped, so it holds shape under the weight of a full load of dinnerware.
It suits a countertop beside the sink in a household that washes by hand daily, and stays useful as open dish storage between washes in a kitchen short on cabinet space. The stainless finish reads as neutral against most worktops. Wiping the frame dry occasionally keeps water marks from building up on the metal. Loading plates on the upper tier and heavier bowls below keeps the centre of gravity low when the rack is full.
