Over-the-Sink Drying Rack

Overview

An over-the-sink drying rack is a tall frame whose legs stand on the counter either side of the sink, with shelves for dishes above the bowl. It frees up counter space by drying over the sink itself. You can recolor it from the inspector: white, natural wood, bamboo, black, stainless, sage, terracotta, gray or navy, or any shade from the color wheel. Only the body changes; food, glass and trim keep their real-world colors.

Sizing & placement

It is 33 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 30 inches tall (about 84 × 30 × 76 cm). At about 2.75 feet wide it needs counter on both sides of the sink bowl for its legs, and at about 2.5 feet tall it is too tall for the usual gap under upper cabinets. Drop it on a base cabinet or kitchen island and it stands on the countertop at that counter's real height, even one you have made taller or shorter; it can also sit on a table, desk, dresser, buffet or bar. It never falls to the floor: with nothing under it, it sits at standard counter height. Flow Check flags it if you place it under standard upper cabinets.

Where it works

Kitchens, straddling the sink. In the app it is in Furnish, on the Kitchen tab, under Counter Accessories; or search "over the sink rack" or "sink shelf".

Frequently asked questions

How big is the over-the-sink drying rack?

It is 33 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 30 inches tall.

Can I put the over-the-sink drying rack on a counter or island?

Yes. Drag it onto a base cabinet or island and it rests on the countertop at that counter's height, including cabinets and islands you have resized. It can also go on a table, desk or bar.

Will the over-the-sink drying rack fit under upper cabinets?

Usually not: at 30 inches tall it needs open space above the sink. Flow Check flags it under standard upper cabinets. Standing over the sink itself is not flagged, because that is how it is used.
