Is the mat material completely flat or does it have spaces or indentations to dry dishes better? Hope this makes sense.

Kara, This mat is pretty smooth on the drying surface. I have other drying mats that have "texture" to them. I see no significant difference in the drying time. I do like the plastic backing on this mat as it stops mold and mildew issues that I have experienced with other mats. Hope this helps.Lee

Yes it is flat surface and a real life saver, for cups, and dishes etc; My personal opion , this is a great item to buy.

It is a completely flat material with no spaces or indentations and has a slightly fuzzy texture. When I am drying bowls or pots or something with an area that would not be exposed to the air when laid down, I usually try to prop the rim on another item so that the air can circulate underneath. Works very well. Obviously, a dish rack would work the best of all for air drying but I for one do not want to store the bulky thing and certainly do not want it on my counter top all the time. The mat is just perfect for those few things you need to hand wash. I hope this helps!

I have had the mat for over six months and have never looked under it until today. Your question got my attention so I checked, there is no sign of any moisture. I do live in a dryer than normal area, Saint George, Utah elevation 2400 feet. Hope this helps

Seems the table wold be better. The mat is great on flat hard surfaces though.

The width is 12 1/2 inches. I like this mat a lot, but I can't understand why they made the indentation. It would work better all the same width.

If you are referring to a "drying mat" that is used for dishes than yes it should work, just know the length is true to the size of a paper towels.

It sits flat, I have mine in the sink and I have to tip it to get it to drain so the water runs out. I guess it would depend on how much water is in it if it's on your counter. If it gets full, it would drain out to your counter, I would think. But, I really love it! We're on well water, so it gets a bit scummy from iron deposits and stuff, but I use a brush on it to clean it. Nice set-up for a 2 person family's dishes. Not huge but you can put a lot in it if you have someone drying them or you don't have many dishes!

It is pebbled but always stays clean. I wanted it for a dish rack tray and I love it!! The 2 longer sides curb up and the lip going down is at one end (other end flat).

The board is really flat. This was a gift to my daughter and she has really slick counters. I told her to use the old kitchen trick of useing a slighty damp paper or cloth towel under the board. She uses her's to roll out pie dough and it doesn't move. Hope this helps. Happy kitchen,Happy home.

I gave the mat as a gift to my niece's daughter and she claims to have washed it and dried it in the machine and it came out good as new. Hope this is helpful.

The mat is smooth on both sides. I am very happy with it. I cut it to fit the chopping block top of my kitchen cart and it works very well for me.

It is very thin, but not thin enough to wipe small crumbs directly into the sink. When looking at the edge where the sink and counter line up it looks flush, but when running your hand over it you can feel the difference. Hope that helps!

This mat is thick enough and is easy to trim to fit as directed. It is also easy to wipe clean.We placed it as directed on the lowest rack and it works fine.Hope this helps.

It is elevated by rubber feet. I actually took the feet off (they are threaded on with screws) Where I wanted to place the mat, I didn't like it being raised on feet. I don't think it will dry underneath as well without the rubber feet, but I was willing to try it and see what happens.

1.) Cheap drying mats look just like they sound...cheap. 2.) The bright grass honestly dresses up the countertop and provides a warmer more appealing feel. 3.) The grass actually serves a functional purpose like a dishwasher does holding bottles and other breastfeeding equipment in the optimal drying position.

The bowl is flat with no holes, just a plain round plastic bowl, then the colander that fits inside is flat as well with holes and a handle to shake the food dry. It actually works quite well to wash fruit and vegetables and then lift them out to drain.

The water drains off the mat and ends up underneath it, mine does the same and i just hang it over the sink at the end of the day to let it dry overnight and that way mine never gets slimy or mouldy on the bottom.
