Sink Self Adhesive Plastic Saddle

Overall this is a GOOD product, good quality, nice length - one of the longer ones you are going to find online. The suction cups work pretty well for me on my stainless sink. Yes they do pop off every now and then, but most suction cups do and honestly you are constantly bumping against this thing and pouring water and soap around it so you SHOULD expect it to move. I ordered one of these 1-1/2 years ago thru Home Depot for $2 less, but they are now selling it for the same price as Amazon. Basically it will only last about that long before discoloring, perhaps longer if your sink doesn't have a window in front of it. Do NOT put it in the dishwasher as that is how I recently ruined mine - it warped it. I had always washed it by hand and then decided to give it a deep clean which did not work out. On top of a stainless divider you don't really notice the discoloration that much. I never noticed discoloration from food products, but you should take the thing off and clean it if you are constantly washing dishes, as opposed to just rinsing them off, in your sink. And yes, you do have to clean underneath it every so often or it will get scummy. I would definitely recommend this if you need a sink saddle. I am very satisfied with how mine has held up and it has saved the divider on my newer sink from scratches. Overlook the silly complaints in the reviews and buy it. So you have to buy another one in a year or so - big deal.

Good thickness and fit but a little pricey.

We just got a new stainless steel double kitchen sink with a 1-inch divider. I saw a lot of reviews for this mat that stated that the suction cups on it do not work, but I ordered it because it had the narrowest spine of all of the mats I could find on Amazon. It is true that the suction cups do not work even when they are wet, but this mat is still better than nothing because it is clear and pliable and does a decent job protecting the sink from my dishes and my dishes from the sink.Update: The suction cups didn't work at first, but after a while, the mat relaxed, and the suction cups now work.

Perfect saddle for sink. Looks great!

I was hesitant on buying this particular saddle for my sink since some of the reviews were less than stellar (didn't suction to my sink; curled up at the ends). I really needed to get something to use to rest heavier pots and pans on to scrub so I took a risk and bought the iDesign plastic saddle. When it arrived, I immediately took it to the sink and was more than disappointed when the suction cups would not adhere to the stainless steel sink. BUT! Hold on.....let's try water. Eureka. Immediate adherence to both sides of the sink! The top lays completely flat and didn't curl at the ends either. Once it was in place, fast forward and it's still nice and snug and in place. I can still clean under it by sliding it up (or of course it can be completely removed for cleaning) and simply by spraying each side with a bit of water, it's back in place. I'm very happy with the performance of this saddle thus far. I hope this helps you make a more informed decision if you are shopping for something to protect your sink from scratching.UPDATE January 2024: Purchased in March of 2023 and all was well....for a while. Sad to say, while the saddle is still in good shape, the suction cups absolutely lost all their suction power. I thought I had conquered the issue by running the mat in the upper-most 3rd rack of the dishwasher to give it a thorough cleaning and it seemed to solve the problem but it was not to last. No matter what I do now it slips and slides and refuses to stay in place. Sigh. The only bright spot (cough) is that the price has dropped a couple bucks since I made the purchase. Not sure what my next move will be; to buy another one knowing it will only last about 10 months or do I keep looking for something better?

I have read other reviews that state they are having trouble keeping this item to stay in place. I have no issues in this regard. The saddle needs to be cleaned and the suction cups slightly moist and there you have it. I like this product and when this one wears out or becomes stained I will replace it. Until then.....

stays put, love these

One of the only Amazon products I have ever regretted buying. It has no suction & does not adhere to the middle section of the sink! It was very inexpensive, so, I guess I got what I paid for. Should be ZERO stars!!!
