37. A roll-up dish-drying rack to dry dishes in a way that’ll make you feel like a certified genius. Simply place it over the sink and let dishes dry without them becoming another obstacle to navigate around.
It’s heat-resistant up to 400 degrees F and can be tossed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
Promising review: “It is incredibly versatile and a wonderful addition to our kitchen. So far I have used it for drying large items over the sink, filling a pot when the sink was already full, and as a counter trivet for a hot pan, and it performs beautifully in all these roles. The metal rods are strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy items, long enough to span our sink from multiple angles, and best of all, it rolls up for easy storage when not in use. All around a great kitchen tool, and I’ll never be without one again.” —T. Eicher

It can be used on sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees, works in damp locations, has a 50-pound maximum load rating, and is paintable with no visible screws or hardware.
Promising review: “I love this product. I moved into this house two years ago. I have a very high ceiling with recessed lighting and trying to figure out what to do if the lights burn out. So when I found this product, I immediately purchased them and had an electrician convert them with pendant lights. OMG! They improved the look of the room from a rather tired look to a designer look. Absolutely amazing product and it took only a little over an hour to install two new pendant lights.” —Amazon Customer
