TEAMOLA L-Shaped Kitchen Sponge Holder Extra Large Sponge Caddy for Sink Black Sponge Caddy for Kitchen with Brush

So incredibly pleased with this. We have a small kitchen and a proportionately tiny sink area that can be difficult to de-clutter because of it. While we've had a mesh drainer forever on one side of the counter to drip-dry clean dishes, the other side has always been a collection of hand soap bottles/dish soap dispensers that we've, until this point, put on folded paper towels or some other temporary solution because... some reason? I'm not sure why we never committed to something on that side, other than there was maybe a thought that too much organization (ie, extra caddies, containers, racks) would contribute to the clutter accidentally, but I took the plunge to try to fix the situation in a more permanent way. BOY DID IT FIX THE SITUATION. The thing that needs to be mentioned first off is a design choice I find genuinely really competent and thoughtful. The caddy doesn't sit flat on the counter like other ones do, but rather splits itself into kind of three tiers: the 'rack' that the containers and sponges sit upon, the layer underneath that tilts at about a 45 degree angle down towards the sink edge, and then the 'legs' of the caddy that are in actual contact with the countertop. This seems like an obvious thing, but it weirdly isn't -- I've seen plenty of caddies in the past that skip that step for some reason and have more of the bottom of the unit in contact with the damp parts of the sink, which obviously results in bacteria growth/rust/unhygienic conditions. Putting the damp soap dispensers or sponges n the rack results in the runoff going right back into the sink, and since it makes sure that the rack and runoff tray and feet are all separate, you get a lot of airflow to every part of the unit. I tried to take a close picture of the bottom so it's easier to see the little 'guards' they include for the feet of the caddy, which is I assume done for anti-skid and anti-rust reasons and as a result made me feel pretty at ease to put it on my sink corner without damaging my white countertop. Just by the nature of how right angles work, I can't imagine the L shape NOT fitting every sink, and it doesn't add too much height to the point where it might not fit under cabinets or paper towel holders etc. Finish is a really nice, smooth black and looks durable, and after a week of use I'm not seeing any early defects forming or areas of concern by the joints, where things tend to corrode the fastest. Still ship-shape after near-constant use, but I'll check back in in a few months to see how it's holding up. I'm fairly optimistic. Generally I include both pros and cons when I review something, but as much as I tried, I really don't have a single negative thing to say about this. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, it does it in an attractive and unfussy way, it's keeping my sink looking sharp, it's easy to clean, and I'm relieved I have a place to put all my soap containers now. I *so* so so recommend this as an organizational fix, it's legit. Read more

I really love this L-shaped kitchen sponge and soap holder. It looks and feels super nice. It is made of metal and comes almost fully assembled. It requires just a couple very quick steps to finish assembling the sponge holder, which takes less than five minutes, so that was very convenient. The metal used is durable, sturdy, and heavy. It has a nice, smooth, satin-matte finish. The weight of the sponge holder keeps the holder stable and steady. It also came with tubes to put over the base of the frame, where the sponge holder meets the countertop, to prevent it from leaving marks on the countertop or causing scratches. The tube “feet” allow you to slide the sponge holder with ease, without the metal grating against the surface of the sink or counter, while the weight of the sponge holder prevents unnecessary slipping and sliding and moving around. It’s a great design! Another aspect of the design that I really appreciate is the built-in water tray, which is angled downward in a slope so that the water from the sponge or dish brushes, etc, is funneled directly into the sink. This is a huge plus because so many sponge and dish brush holders result in flooded countertops when the water drains out. That is not a problem with this sponge holder. The sponge caddy is the perfect size. It holds several sponges, dish brushes, and soap bottles. It can be used for a variety of dishwashing tools. It’s big enough that it has a lot of capacity and room for your dishwashing supplies, but it is small enough that it sits neatly on the corner of the sink without getting in the way or looking like a giant, bulky, awkward contraption. It also includes a removable dish brush holder that can be taken out or placed in various ways in the sponge caddy. Overall, the sponge holder is sleek and classy looking. The size is perfect. It’s big enough that it’s useful and keeps your dishwashing tools neat, tidy, and well organized. It’s also much more sanitary than having sponges and dish brushes lying around in pools of water, developing mold and mildew. You can place them in the caddy to drain the water away (which filters right into the sink) and fully dry out in a sanitary way while reducing clutter. It is easy to assemble and easy to use. It holds all of the essentials and is sleek enough that it doesn’t get in the way. It’s really a great design and is a fantastic value! I love it and highly recommend this sponge and dish brush holder! Look Ease of use Durability Design Usefulness Value Size Read more
