Multiple Function: Good as drying rack, it fits many sizes of plates. The plates drip dry so you will do not need to waste time to dry them with a towel. Also you can use it as a dish rack for storage of cutting boards or plates, or to organize cups, or to hold lids or even books/ tablets/ laptop/ etc. Easy to install: 18 vertical bamboo pegs (9 on either side) create 8 slots for plates or pot lids., the two long racks and two pegs, each rack have two holes. To make sure it will connect each pieces more tighter, it is minus tolerance design. When install, push the pegs into side racks with a little big pressure, then the whole rack will be tight. Please check the size of the Bamboo Wood Rack on my pictures before you purchase it. Easy to wash, mild soap and water; Dry thoroughly.for extended life of tray use bamboo oil occasionally .
