I purchased this for use inside our stainless steel kitchen sink to hold the drain plug, an old credit card we use for scraping, and two sponges, not wanting these items to sit out and clutter the area surrounding the sink or to sit in puddles of water. It is amazing how small an item can make such a big difference! I'll never go back. This has been in our sink for almost a year now and shows no signs of rust or other ick. The suction cups hold very well to the stainless steel sink (which I have always been careful to clean well then only slightly dampen before applying). I have had no problems with this sliding, except perhaps when I first stuck it to the sink. I occasionally remove this to better clean the sink. Not too big nor too small to be practical. If you had a large sink that was only a single compartment, this might be an annoyance, as it could hinder your ability to wash larger pots and pans without constantly knocking the sponge rack, but it works great for me in our two-compartment sink. I stick it on the side less-often used.
I purchased the larger model so I could store a sponge as well as other utensils used for cleaning such as a plastic scraper and a brush. I was afraid with the added weight from those items the suction cups may not hold rendering this tool useless but I have been pleasantly surprised. I have had no hold issues which is great. The container looks nice in my sink and keeps everything nice and organized and most importantly where I want it rather then on the bottom of the sink!
This did not stick well to my stainless steel sink. I tried moistening the suction cups with water, which only worked for a few minutes before it came off.
So I rubbed a very thin layer of mineral oil to the cups and viola! It has stayed put all week.
The extra large size is nice since it holds 2 sponges. Quality is good overall. No rusts
yet.
UPDATE: Two weeks later. The damn thing comes unstuck a few times a week. I have to reoil it for it to stay put for about a week, but I haven't found a better solution. Yeah, they really should have gone with better suction cups.
UPDATE: After about 2 months of use, there is still no rusting. But the suction cups still suck. So I decided to wash the cups and sink with soap, and then put some silicone sealant on the cups. They've been holding on for a few weeks now without coming off.
I've owned this for two years now and no complaints. The suction has held up very well.
Good product the only issue is the suction is so great that if you want to remove and replace the rack there is a bit of a challenge to get suction the to get it off the wall and then a slight challenge to have the suction cups do their thing.

I like the size and look of the unit. It holds an array of scrubbers and a sponge without being too big. It stuck to my brushed steel sink for a few weeks, but I've had to move it to the glass backsplash tiles now because I couldn't get it to stay stuck on the side of the sink. I think the sink's surface just isn't smooth enough.
Ordered the satin finish XL. It looks the same as all the brushed chrome in the kitchen. I've only had it up for 5 days, but it has yet to unstick from the enameled cast iron sink. I have a bottle brush (it sticks out of it since the holes aren't large enough to drop the handle in), chain mail piece (cast iron pan scrubber), and sink stopper in it. Would have room for a sponge too. I guess suction cups just work better on this kind of sink.
Nice nice. It’s narrow and long enough to hold the sponge and the scrub brush and a Brillo pad without having to stuff everything together. Love the bronze color, love that it is mesh so sponges get breathing room to dry.
This had a hard time sticking to my stainless steel sink, but after reading several reviews.. I followed someone's tip to stick this in the corner. Low and behold, it is still sticking to the corner! If it isn't sticking for you, try to stick it in the corner and it should stay. It's a little hard to maneuver it in the corner at first, but just glide the suction cup a little until it sticks to the wall with both suction cups and then you can move it around to your placing.
I've had this for about a year now. It shows no signs of rust and the suction cups still hold well. I would recommend to others.
