Great product
Color: Silver
I had something similar that was a flat metal piece with a "V" shape design. It was awful water collected in the groves at bottom i had to almost place the front end off the counter because then when the water started to slow from raining it would somehow go back underneath and get my counter top wet. This is so much better! Bottom spot can be rotated out when needed and also can be pushed in to hide. I put this on the counter normally without hanging off the edge (unlike the other one) and because its a spout funnels water perfectly into sink and my counter stays dry. A tiny bit of water sometimes collect at the end of spout but overall great product! Also has a divided that can be moved but can only be placed in specific spots, obv can be removed full. Tall basket can be moved to either side

Perfect sink caddy!
Color: Black, Size: 9.25″, Color: Black, Size: 9.25″
This caddy is exactly what I was looking for and needed! It holds everything I need and keeps it in place. Easy to assemble and put to use! This was also sturdier than expected, and a great value. Easy to clean, easy to use, and just the right fit for my kitchen sink. I like that you can arrange it to suit your needs, it has a movable divider and the small compartment attaches to either the outside or inside of the caddy.
