This looks like to make cleaning large pans or baking sheets unnecessarily difficult.

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.
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?
it 'might' actually exist
That's likely just the overflow drain?
"This is as good as it gets"
And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”
I can't figure out how you'd actually get a knife in those slots with the ledge above it.
I have this drying rack, and... I LOVE it!
But the knife holder is the biggest problem. All the bits are modular so you can set it up with the knife holder not having something right above it, but my favorite knife is too long to sit in the knife holder without stabbing the countertop. I solved the problem by getting one of those magnetic knife holders and mounting it to the side of the rack.
Also, when people who come over to my place for dinner or hanging out, about half of them make a comment about how awesome the drying rack is.
(I'm 47 and I got this rack about 5 years ago)
Link?
Currently unavailable on amazon, but this is where I bought it:
All this crap in my way and too much clutter. Yuck. Also, anything over a sink is likely to get splashed. This is creating more cleaning work, and for what?
And who dries dishes like this? Are they not already clean and dry out of the dishwasher? Hand washing is very wasteful and time consuming.
Not everyone owns a dishwasher.
Not everything fits our should go in a dishwasher either.
This is for hand-washing?
Thats a pathetic little kitchen faucet. Real grownups use professional multi-spray kitchen faucets with removable head and swivel action...
Except it won't look so pretty and also I can't imagine using the dispensers without taking them out of that thing unless it's VERY rigid.
The knives look like a pain to load and remove though
Nah that’s just in the pictured configuration. The baskets and all the accessories just hook onto the rack frame so you can move things around to whatever config you want. Do the dish baskets on top of each other and leave the ‘flatter’ bits (like the knife block) for over the actual sink, much better config. Thirty second job even with the dishes on them.
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?
How often is your raw chicken in the sink
It's a DRYING rack, it isn't meant to be permanent storage. You wash the dishes after dinner, and place them in the rack. The next morning, after they've dried, the first thing you do is put them all back in the cabinets.
However, I acknowledge that a LOT of people won't bother with the second step.

I want it. Where do I get it?
Wayfair. $72. 4.8 stars. They have other similar items that are cheaper.
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.
