Terrible Design – Drainage Holes Blocked by Stickers! YaomouI purchased this stainless steel utensil holder from IKEA and am extremely disappointed with its poor design.
For some reason, IKEA placed two extremely sticky labels directly on the bottom of the holder, covering the drainage holes. The adhesive is so strong that the stickers are nearly impossible to remove completely.
This defeats the entire purpose of having drainage holes! Water cannot drain properly, leaving moisture trapped inside where chopsticks, spoons, and other utensils are stored. This creates an unhygienic environment and raises concerns about bacterial growth.
It makes absolutely no sense to put difficult-to-remove stickers over drainage holes on a kitchen product that is supposed to keep utensils clean and dry.
IKEA should immediately stop selling this product until the design and packaging issue is corrected, and seriously consider recalling affected products.
Very disappointing quality control from a company like IKEA. I would not recommend this product.1
stylish utensil holder !Nreliable Ikea basic - smaller size holds all my take out utensils that have accumulated - stylish on the counter - kind of wish they came in four side instead of round as i think it would make better use of counter space as they can be set side by side without wasted space5

Stuck stickersNicStickers too stuck. Should peel off easily but now forced to use a solvent. Product itself is useful.3

Stickers on the bottom ruin it.JasonIt has holes in the bottom for a reason but they cover it with a impossible to remove sticker, I don’t have hours of my life to lose trying to clean off that sticker I just threw it in the garbage, I already regret the hours spent at ikea to begin with.1
