We have the counter space for a permanent rack and we still fold this one away after every meal because the kitchen looks better without it. Bamboo also doesn't leave the rust streaks the chrome rack we replaced started leaving on our counter after about six months. ✪ Free US shipping over $25 ↩ 30-Day Returns · No Questions Why this rack instead of the branded chrome ones Most popular dish racks are either chrome (rusts in 6 months on coastal kitchens), plastic (cracks at the joints inside a year), or fixed-shape (occupies counter space 24 hours a day for 30 minutes of dish use). This bamboo rack folds to 1.2 inches between meals, won't rust, and lasts five to seven years with quarterly oiling. The math: $36 for seven years works out to about $5.14 a year. The chrome rack you replace every 18 months works out to more.

The most common feedback we hear is the "fold-flat" feature being the deciding factor for small kitchens. Read the unedited reviews under this section. Frequently asked questions Will the bamboo mold? Not with normal care. Wipe it dry after dishes go away and oil it quarterly. The finish is water-resistant, not waterproof — treat it the way you'd treat a quality cutting board. How many dishes does it actually hold? Around 30 pieces — a family-of-four dinner. Top tier: 10–12 dinner plates on edge. Bottom: 6–8 cups and bowls plus a utensil slot. Is it really collapsible? Yes — folds to 1.2 inches. Fits in most kitchen drawers and under most sinks. How is bamboo different from regular wood? Bamboo is a grass, not a tree. It's denser and more water-resistant than most hardwoods, and it regrows in 3 to 5 years versus 20+ for hardwood. Commercial bamboo is laminated for extra durability. Bamboo or stainless steel — which is better? Bamboo if you want warmth, looks, quiet drying, and the foldable form factor. Stainless if you want zero maintenance and dishwasher-safe drying. Can I use this outdoors or in an RV? RV use is fine if the rack stays inside. Long-term outdoor use is not recommended — UV and weather shorten its life. A note from Lisa I'm Lisa — I run Strabella from Newport Beach with my family. We tested this rack for six weeks in our own kitchen before listing it: every dinner, every brunch, every wash. It folded away every night. If yours doesn't fit your kitchen the way it fits ours, send it back within 30 days and I'll refund you in full. — Lisa, [email protected] Shipping & returns Ships from California, United States — typically 2 business days Free US shipping on orders over $25 30-day returns on unused racks US customer support: [email protected]
