I'm old, and I actually hate this...
How awkward it must be to try to remove the knives. And why is the fruit in the top right? The cutting boards are going to leak all over the counter after you wash them.
Also, I have a dishwasher... So this is just a great way to block the window in front of most sinks for no good reason.
You're the only person who mentioned the window.
An efficient way to drain dishware is great, but looking out the window when you're in the kitchen brings much joy.
And a window can be an emergency fire escape.
Looks terrible. I can't use the sink without worrying about splashing the clean dishes. Disgusting. And they're practically just hanging in my way.
Maiju Gebhard (September 15, 1896, in Helsinki – July 18, 1986, in Helsinki) was a Finnish inventor who invented the dish drying cabinet as the head of the household department at the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute in 1944 and 1945. She was the only child of economist Hannes Gebhard and politician Hedvig Gebhard.
I love this concept. The big problem is that a lot of American kitchens are (weirdly) modeled after old farmhouses where the sink was always under the one window in the whole room. The trend is absolutely hostile to this idea.
How do you get the knives in and out of that thing?
With AI, of course!
More importantly, why is the drain on the side of the sink? How do to you get the water out of that thing?
Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action...
The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
Yup. Also: I'm tall, so now I can't see everything that's in the sink. It also needs some kind of anti-tip measure if the suggested use is to keep heavy dishes up high like that. Also, I'm not convinced this is sanitary - are we gonna get raw-chicken-water-splashback onto clean plates?
According to the CDC, chicken should not be rinsed to avoid Salmonella cross contamination.
Notabene: this advise is from the pre-Trump CDC.
We just got one of these a couple weeks ago, my mom and I got to crack up over this, thank you. Who knows how many more laughs I'll be able to share with her before death comes knocking.
This is normal in Italy. Just the rack would be higher.
It's the double sink that gets me. I've lived in places with a double sink. I do not have a double sink right now.
I need double sink in my life.
I'm old enough to say it's pretty. No silverware. No utility/paring knives. Too many bowls, not enough plates. Most of my utensils can't hang. no glasses/cups, need at least 3 cutting boards.
Great taste, marginal execution.
The knife holder forces you to pull the knives up which simply is impossible with that shelf above
That would cause me so much claustrophobia at the sink i would stop washing dishes.
i would've loved this as a kid but i had a Bad Childhood
This looks like to make cleaning large pans or baking sheets unnecessarily difficult.
