Dish Drainers for Wooden Worktops

Welshwoofs

Ok this is a small thing but has been driving me absolutely mental for the last year!

We have a beech block worktop with ceramic belfast sink...something we put in before we considered the practicalities of the thing.

Anyway it seems really, really hard to find dish drainers which are angled to make the water run back into the sink! At the moment we use a big tea tray with a wire dish drainer on top and simply have to tip the excess water away after drying up. I've seen only seen one online (Betterware) but write-ups on other sites say it's not angled enough to drain the water away and it's flimsy.

Anyone else out there with wooden worktops and a good dish drainer solution?

Some good and some negative reviews on those products but I know that Lakeland have excellent customer service and if it doesn't do the job it is supposed to they will refund.

If not I recommend fashioning something yourself! Perhaps you have a bit of worktop left over you could use if you sand a slope onto it?

Normally, with a wooden worktop and Belfast sink, you would have the drainer grooves machined into the worktop.
I'll take a pic of mine and put a link up if you would like to see.

At a guess the Lakeland product which has been suggested looks good and if it's not angled enough you could put something underneath to raise one end, like some self adhesive foam pads? I must admit that this problem has put me off getting a wooden worktop and Belfast sink!

Good luck finding a solution.
