Can you use this rack without the tray? For example: On bare counter top or on something similar to a bath mat? Or would it slide open?

No mat required, just only to contain drops. Mat does not hold it in place, rack is self limiting. (takes up very littl space under sink)

Yes, the feet grip well enough for both surfaces.Problem is, you'll need something to catch the water on! Unless you're storing completely dry dishes, then it'll fit the bill.

It would not slide open but you would probably have water all over the place.

Absolutely. It would stay in place. Works very well. No silverware bin though.

I use a drying mat underneath mine because it sits on the countertop. The drying mat looks much nicer than the tray in my opinion.

Yes, it has a tray. The rack comes out a little bit (an inch or two) when you open the door.

The tray is flat, it does have little feet that elevate the back side but I wouldn't recommend it. I suppose that you could, although it might get water on your counter. Hope that helps.

I purchased as a gift. Don't know if top could be used as tray. No, there is not a smaller ottoman inside.

The tray is quite heavy & won't flip over. My husband but it on the bottom rack once (he didn't know any better) and it didn't flip over there either.

Yes, but the legs don't stay in place. I would not choose this tray for this reason alone.

Better use a mitt, the tray does not slide out automatically. My old one did that, but unfortunately, it bit the dust.

Yes you could easily. There is an approximatley 1/4 inch rim around the outside of the tray to keep things from falling off.

It is not necessary to install the rack. You can leave the space open. The rack actually does not attach anyway It is inserted loose and can be removed any time.

You could remove the tray, but a big hole under it. Possible to put a piece of wood or something over the entire thing to keep it leveled and use the full amount of space.

I think it would slide off the counter. It's very light weight. I think you would need to put weights on the corners if you use it on the counter.

No tray, but I use this in the niche in my shower and I've never had a problem. This s a very well made and stylish lap dsh.

Yes, the clamps go on directly to the table leaving a gap between. You can use it without the tray attached with no problem. I started to use it without the tray once my toddler wanted to eat off a plate. It was safe and very sturdy. Hope this helps.

Hi....and I have no clue as I have never done that. This rack is very well made and I have had no problems with it. Sorry I couldn't help.

No, you can't use it without mounting it to either the wall, kitchen counter (somehow) or like we did using the underside of kitchen cabinet. Your idea is a good one IF it had a weighted base and rubber feet so it wouldn't slide on the counter.

The tray is useable off the edge of the desk surface. I do that b/c I have a severe lack of space.

I doubt the non stick surface would even come in contact with the metal but if you're looking for one, I just reviewed a folding metal dish rack that has changed my life. This one was useless and hardly held anything at all. Click on my name to see other items I've reviewed and check out that dish rack. I'm really really happy with it!!
