Samuelworld Large Size Dish Drying Mat Silicone Counter Mat High Ridges for Better Aeration, 0.4 Inch Thickness

This is a very well made product, arrived as described in product details, but in the end we've replaced it w/another approach that works much better for us. The problem we discovered w/these silicone mats (not matter how well made they are) is that since they don't actually drain water out of their bottom side, two problems occur:1. The mat gets pretty ugly looking over time - we have hard water, so we get opaque white dried water spots all over the mat that just don't look very good and for some reason are more difficult to clean off than from other materials.2. Water pools on the mat. Since the water has no way to drain off or down through the mat to a lower point, when you put wet items on the mat the water can pool beneath them so that the water is still actually still touching the item that is trying to dry.These issues are not specific to this silicone mat, and actually this is the best silicone mat of this type we found (it has higher ridges so the items drying are a little better removed from the water on the mat below them). If you're committed to a silicone mat this is the best choice, from our experiences w/others.In the end we returned to what we were using previously. An Oxo Good Grips sink mat (https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Large-Sink/dp/B079MRMCGY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542081202&sr=8-4&keywords=oxo+good+grips+sink+mat). This is a sturdy mat that is designed to allow water to drain through the mat to a lower surface it is sitting on. We have it sitting on a clear plastic kitchen drying tray next to the sink. Tray sits on the counter, mat sits in/on the tray (and small "legs" elevate the mat off the tray) and dishes sit on the mat. The water off the dishes goes through the many openings on the Oxo mat down into the tray below and from there either dries if small amounts, or flows from the tray into sink. The messy water/dry spots are hidden below the Oxo mat and easily cleaned from the plastic tray w/a quick wipe once a week or so. Most importantly the dishes are not sitting in/touching the water coming off of them and dry quickly and evenly.

I have had it for a while now, and am still so happy with. The grooves really help it dry more efficiently. It has held up nicely, and easy to quick clean by hand or just throw in the dishwasher. The color was accurate and as pictured as well.

We moved and I needed something simple to use and not take up a lot of counter space. This did the job. Don't spend all the money on the wire/metal dishracks this works. I did keep a removable rack holder from Joseph & Joseph dish rack that I placed on top of this for the dishes and keep my cups from having the film and touching the mat.

At the first the mat is easy to clean but over time (less than 1 month) it will have mold. It's speading everywhere. However I'm giving this "4" because the company does a good job at responding to my questions. I used the Lysol that is used to clean mold. It cleans off perfectly and now it looks brand new.

My husband and I live in a small "grandparent's' apartment" with a 5' kitchenette. This drying mat is perfect for us. The size is generous, but it drains easily and rolls up for under the counter storage. It's well made and sturdy, too.

Generous size, easy to get rid of excess water, looks good. Can't comment on its durability at this time. However, it appears to be made of good materials. Compared with some other famous brands drying mat, it's a good buy!

Product is nice. Had a bit of a weird smell when I first got it. Cleaned it up with soap and water, and after a couple of days, the smell was gone. Good drying mat.

I just wish it were a tad bit bigger. The feet on my dish drain don't fit on it the best. Makes it sit crooked. I guess it's ok if you are not OCD. lol
