Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I have to admit after reading some other reviews I was hesitant about purchasing this b/c of the price for one and not sure if it would fit my needs and how the middle of the rack is curved instead of flat, but glad I did!!! I just figured if I didn't use as a dishrack, I saw someone else mention of a bread basket, so that way atleast I didn't fully waste my money. But so far I love it..I do all my dishes by hand but suprisngly never have a completely full dishrack b/c I towel dry pots/pans and most plates after i wash them anyway..usually just cups, silverware and other random things I throw in the dishrack. I love the way it spruces up my counter and it defiantely brings a whole new meaning into washing dishes and drying them in style!! I love it and as long as you don't overload this rack you are fine. I will agree that the curve of the rack is annoying, all things slide to middle but so far hasn't been a problem and it is a huge spacesaver on my counter as suppose to the bulky rubbermaid one I had previously that just took up way to much room and was a complete eye sore!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I love this dish rack! It very attractive and absolutely perfect for my needs. If you have a dishwasher and just want something to hold a few items at a time that you wash by hand, then do not hesitate to buy this. I do not think this would be highly functional, however, for someone who is looking for a dish drainer to hold all of their dishes... it's more so for a cup here, a plate there.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I didn't think it was worth the money because it's inconvenient to use. Doesn't hold alot of dishes and the silverware and dishes fall out because of the slots made very large.

Wouldn't buy it again.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I just love this.Before I bought this when I finished my dishes I would always "hide" my dish strainer under the sink. I have not put mine away.When people see it, they want to know where I got it, of course I tell them.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Oh I just love the look of this BUT - since I don't have a dishwasher - and all dishes are done by hand (by my fabulous husband), function is imperative. It basically holds plates and bowls. No mugs or glasses or anything of any other shape but flat. Anything else has to sit right in the middle because it's the only close to flat space so everything slides to the middle. This has caused several chipped glasses when trying to balance a few in a "row" if that's what you can call it. If it's not plastic - it must be a plate or bowl or your risking it chipping or breaking. The flatware section is the worst - we have to put plastic cups in each of them with holes punched in the bottom so they don't have sitting water dripping and resting in the bottom. The reason is simple - the spaces are too far apart so all of my flatware falls through either all the way out or until it hits the counter. The cups work great but it looks tacky - ruins the whole point of such a beautiful dishdrain. Not the least bit functional if you actually wash dishes regularly of all shapes and sizes. But it is absolutely beautiful.

I bought this and I love it. It is the perfect size for dishes and a pan or two. Good Quality.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

This looks great on the counter BUT really gets a failing grade for function. No drain board underneath, silverware holder too open so things often slip through, curved shape of main dish compartment limits use as items like glasses will all slide to the middle. There are no stops for the dishes so it is impossible to line them up on edge. Needs a serious redesign!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I ordered this dish rack because we just put up a lovely tile backsplash over the kitchen counter and our other bulky dish rack hid it - this one is perfect!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

At last, a BLACK, attractive dishrack that is not plastic! It goes perfectly in my kitchen hue of red/black/roosters&wrought-iron. I simply use a dishtowel under it for drainage. I mainly use it for hand washable items,stacking cups/glasses off to the side. My other rack is a "Bamboo Behemouth" that shows wear&tear, taking up the whole counter. This one can also be used as a bread basket!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

It is a beautiful dish rack ! It is true that this rack is not developed to hold the glasses or cups. It is easy to see from the first glance at the picture ! I didn't order it for cups, I ordered it to get rid of the UGLY plastic dish rack I had and I don't regret! It holds everything very nicely ! Even cups and bowls ! I am very happy with it !

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I love this item. It looks great on my counter top and I have received many compliments. I have a dish washer, so I just needed a place to let those odds and ends that I don't put in the machine dry. I just wish it came with a matching mat. Or, there was one available to purchase. I keep a towel under it.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I've had this for 2 years or more and it still looks brand new! Does not rust! I use it whenever I hand wash items. No, it's not big enough for everything but what is? I love that it has a silverware basket. The one at [@] does not and costs more!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I love the look of this dish drainer, but when it arrived, I found that my regular-sized dishes simply would not fit. I hope to see an updated, more practical version of this drainer because it's so pretty. I really want one but it has to work for me.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Love this! I've received many compliments on how pretty this is and have referred all to Lillian Vernon. How nice to have such a helpful/useful object that looks nice just sitting out on the counter, not something in yucky plastic. Thanks for the great option!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I have had this dish rack for a couple of years and I love the look of it, but the round design does not function well for all items. The most frustrating part of this piece is that the openings in the utensil caddy are too wide and spoons, etc. fall out. Also, on the other end smaller pieces, like cups, etc. fall out since that end is not enclosed. With young children and having smaller cups, etc., it does not function well for our household. I would not recommend this right now; however, if the design changed to accommodate these problems I would purchase a new one because it looks great!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I LOVE this dish drainer! We get compliments every time we have company over. I don't have the trouble that some other reviewers had with things falling through the silverware basket or with putting cups and glasses in the curved drainer - I just think about how I put stuff in the drainer and then it's not a problem. I used to hate hand-washing dishes because I hated the look of our old drainer while the dishes were drying. I don't have that problem any more!!! [...]Excellent buy!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I love this thing. Goes with my kitchen and pretty enough to leave out. Very durable, I've used for the last few years--would like the utensil bin to have smaller openings due to some things falling through, but other than that I LOVE this drainer. I simply put a folded dish towel under it--I would never ever use an ugly plastic dish drainer!!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Very nice and perfect item for black granite countertop. I am just using for tupperware and items that can't go in the dishwasher and I couldn't be happier with the look. I am not sure it is a high quality, well made item, but it sure looks great.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

It looks great and fits perfectly with my black granite countertops, but isn't designed for functionality. The round bottom isn't good for anything except plates. Smaller items slip out the end of the main section. Items also slip out of the silverware holder.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I wanted a black rack to go with our granite. I use it only for the items that do not go into the dish washer. It is SO perfect for our household. No mat for drainage that's okay because I use a black dish towel anyway those mat's are to awarkward for me.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

The style of this is beautiful and goes great w/ my new kitchen. However, it is too small!! If it were larger (longer and wider), it would be perfect. As it is, it makes it difficult to do bulky items like pots.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Display your colorful dishes on the countertop and make the kitchen just a little more brighter. The black frame works great with a Southwest decor.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

There should be a mat for drainage.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

The bottom is too round limits the ability to put cups.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

IT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED FOR MY BLACK CORIAN COUNTERS AND SINK. I SET IT INSIDE THE RIGHT SINK AND NOT ON THE COUNTER TOP WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT AND IT BLENDS RIGHT IT. I LIKE THAT THE UTENSIL HOLDER COMES OFF AND MINE DOESNT FIT IN MY SINK ATTACHED SO IT OFTEN SITS INSIDE THE DRAINER. HOWEVER, MUCH OF MY SILVERWARE SLIPS THROUGH THE HOLES. I STILL LOVE IT. IT IS JUST WHAT I WANTED! STURDY AND WILL LAST A LONG TIME AND I CANT IMAGINE EVER FIDNING ONE IN BLACK ANYWHERE ELSE!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I agree with the other reviewers that it is more stylish than functional. We put it right down in the sink to prevent it from tipping over. Things will fall out if not placed correctly, but it is beautiful!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

probably not worht buying, unless you use in in your sink. water drains all over counter top and it doe not hold alot of dishes. much cuuter then the regular plastic ones, but the side holder does not hold the silverware very well. gaps are too big. it looks good on the counter but that's about it. sorry.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Beautiful to look at, but not pratical. It's perfect for plates, but not so much for glasses.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Wide spaces. Good luck keeping the silverware from falling out. Bars across the bottom prevent plates from staying upright. Not a lot of room---but nice looking and durable.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

This a beautiful dish rack. The color is perfect with my kitchen design (oil rubbed bronze, dark wood and granite countertops) However, it is small and not completly funtional. It does not come with a drainer, although I found one at [...] in the color "cashmere" from rubbermaid that complements this very well. I am a dishwasher user and purchased this for the occasional few hand wash (oh bother) dishes and works perfect for the small jobs. Not for a sink full of dishes.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Was a bit disappointed. Silverware and smaller items keep falling out.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

We have a dishwasher... but there are always a few items that just need a quick hand wash and then some drying time in the rack. My dishes and glasses are attractive but other racks diminished their beauty, and looked messy on the counter. I typically kept my rack under the sink -- but that's not an option when the dishes are drying... This rack stays on the counter at all times. It's so attractive on it's own -- it looks neat and nice when it's in use and when it's not. It holds plenty, even a load of pots and pans. And is very sturdy.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Love the item, only wish it would come with a drain board to place under the rack. I had a hard time finding a black one. The price was excellent as I've researched this item and it sells for more elsewhere.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

This is just want my countertop needed. It's nice to look at, yet is functional and practical. As soon as I hand wash dishes, I can't wait to put them right away so as not to obstruct my dish rack.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

Love the design in the iron wirework style. It can sit out on the counter and not look messy.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

The bottom is rounded so it's great for plates but glasses and cups are a little more challenging to set in it safely.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

This rack is basically for looks only. If you wash plates and glasses in the dishwasher, as I do, it is useful for nonstick pots and pans or plastic that doesn't go in the dishwasher. Plates don't stand up and there is no place for glasses. It is attractive, but very poorly designed.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I just remodeled my kitchen and this seemed to tie in with the new granite countertops perfectly. Unfortunately, that was as far as it went. :-( It sits very high, has no drainer underneath to catch water, and really is too small to actually use for dinner size plate and no cups b/c it doesn't sit flat on the bottom. I was very disappointed b/c there aren't really other black dryer racks out there. I will be returning this one...

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

The styles and size is perfect for my kitchen.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I love this dish rack because of the beautiful design. If you're like me and wash most of your dishes in the dishwasher this rack is great. I only wash occational cups or plates so I wasn't looking for anything utilitarian. I knew I didn't want and ugly plastic one. I was looking for an attractive rack that I could keep on my counter and this is it!

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

My mom bought me one of these, but it's only good for dishes-- the round bottom makes it very awkward for glasses or anything else besides plates. Also, the lack of drip-tray drives me crazy. It just drips on the counter. It makes no sense as a dryer-- perhaps just as a dish display.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

The product was very pretty...but...there's nothing to hold the dishes up, so they slide down and crash against each other and the utensil tray has such large spaces in it that the utensils don't stay in it! Also, my largest dishes don't even fit in it. I was so looking forward to it and I can't use it (unfortunately I threw the box away, otherwise, I'd return it).

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I have had this for over a year now. I keep it in one side of my sink rather than on the counter. As another reviewer mentioned, the center rod prevents plates and other dishes from staying in place. Everything slips. Most of our dishes go in the dishwasher, but the rack is fine for drying oversized items. The rack looks nice, but the finish started flaking pretty early on. The weld points have rusted some also. The appearance is very tasteful, especially since it is black, but the finish quality and design flaw are a significant problem.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

I love how it looks, but its not that functional. The support bars that run across the bottom and sides, block the plates from being able to drop into the rack properly, which means they don't stand in it properly and therefor it doesn't take as many as it should. The plates just slip.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Scrolled Wirework Dish Rack and Caddy:

It's nice and fits well in small space. I had to buy something to go under it to avoid water from dripping on the countertop but it's still a good buy.
