Has anyone found a drain board large enough to accommodate this type of dish rack? I do not like microfiber drying mats.

Microfiber works awesome! I have used for about 6 months and it still looks new. Have laid the microfiber mat over the rack a couple times to dry, but it really didn't need it!

I use the microfiber mat. I'm sure there are drain boards big enough out there, but they might be kind of hard to find. I absolutely love this dish rack though. It was expensive, but well worth it.

Hi there. I am not sure. had the same problem looking for an in sink drain. At the biggest part of my sink it's 15" long. I measured the bottom as well and it's not as small at 13.25 As much as I love this dishrack, I don't think it will fit in your sink...

Yes, there is a grid to prevent large items from going in the drain. BTW, I love this basket strainer. I pull it out, dump the contents in the trash, and wipe clean with a paper towel.

I'm looking for one too! Since I use mine for artwork not laundry I got a teflon sheet for lining ovens. I cut the sheet into two pannels that fit and that keeps fusable web and things from sticking. Let me know if you find one.

I doubt the non stick surface would even come in contact with the metal but if you're looking for one, I just reviewed a folding metal dish rack that has changed my life. This one was useless and hardly held anything at all. Click on my name to see other items I've reviewed and check out that dish rack. I'm really really happy with it!!

yes to the strainer and drain, not the rack - you are better off with a silicone mat, racks are hard to clean and don't cushion the bottom of the sink.

Yes. I have a 60/40 sink and it sits perfectly on the 40 side with room to spare. We also purchased a stainless steel sink saver that we placed the Dish Rack on.The only problem is with the plastic tray that fits under the rack. It holds water and does mildew if you don't dry it out every time you use it. I took a drill with a small drill bit and put about 10 holes in the ends and the middle so the water drains better.

Yes, it will depending on your sink drainage could be an issue, we have a sink that has a slight rim around it, rather than the ones that are rimless, and we have to put a towel folded up at the other end to have it drain well, we love it anyway, but you do have to be careful if you put heavy pots on the drain cause it is acrylic and can crack......this is our 2nd or 3rd drainboard and we love it compared with the plastic ones......enjoy

No, drain tray does not have holes. It is great for dishes, but does not accommodate pots and pans due to its small footprint. For pots and pans, I use the cloth dish mat, such as the Norpro Dish Drying Mat 12x18, also sold on Amazon.It has been a few months since purchase and I am still using and loving this cute, little Amco Mini Dish Rack. It was a good purchase for use in a very tight space.

I found a product on Amazon called the Silicone Mat Rack Fox Run Brands Silicone Mat Rack (click on the product link to see a nice video review done by another reviewer). It lets me store my Silpats vertically in my tall cupboard next to my baking sheets, very convenient (I can store more than one in the Mat Rack). It also lets you put your Silpat in the dishwasher like a cutting board. I know the instructions say only hand wash but like others I have jerry rigged mine in the dishwasher for years after using with oily or savory dishes, never a problem. But you can just use it for storage if you aren't comfortable with that.

My sink is 13 1/2 x 15" and it fits with room to spare. I measured the part that goes in the sink and it looks like 12 1/2 X 11 1/2 for sure maybe a bit smaller would be fine. You should have no problem. BTW, I really like this dish rack and it snaps flat easily for storage.

There is flexibility with this item to accommodate large paper towel rolls, so would probably handle your drying mat if it is no wider than a paper towel.

Yes! If you search online at GardenWeb, you can find a picture of a dishwasher installed under the drain board portion; however, that sink was placed into a custom-made cabinet, and the cabinet was made a few inches taller than the standard 36" cabinet. This is an expensive choice and not good for a short person like me, but it IS possible.

No, it's not a problem for anyone used to using most dish racks! My goodness... This is a no-brainer. It's fairly obvious you should put an item in those locations that cannot fall through!

It is a completely flat material with no spaces or indentations and has a slightly fuzzy texture. When I am drying bowls or pots or something with an area that would not be exposed to the air when laid down, I usually try to prop the rim on another item so that the air can circulate underneath. Works very well. Obviously, a dish rack would work the best of all for air drying but I for one do not want to store the bulky thing and certainly do not want it on my counter top all the time. The mat is just perfect for those few things you need to hand wash. I hope this helps!

The dimensions are for the dish rack alone, not including cutlery holders. They will probably add a few more inches of length. Drainer is made of plastic and is included on the measurements.

I use the drying mat under a bamboo drying rack instead of having a drip tray. For small items, it would probably work as well as a drying rack but for plate and pans, I prefer the drying rack I purchased along with this dry mat.
