With the shelf they are tucked safely away from all of the gunk that gets poured in the sinkwe all use them and love them

I bought several of these 1 for me my dil and a friend

Great to hold sponges and other items you keep on your sink took a couple weeks to receive this but its just like i expected

There is nothing worse then picking up a dish cloth or sponge that has been sitting in a sink and getting slimy or food stuff poured over it and them not being rinsed
