the item is larger by 3/8th of an inch and does not fit properly in a 16 inch wide sink

Fits our new sink perfectly!! Would buy again!

This sink drain is very high quality. The reason I’m giving it 3 stars is…. The spacing for the dishes was too small for my plates. My plates are on the thick side, so it might not be a problem for most people. (I returned it.)

Great drying space for dishes, and is also dishwasher safe. I use it all the time instead of having dishes on the counter.

Nice well made sturdy and fits perfectly in the sink.
