- To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a support member consisting of a square lower platform having four leg members coupled therewith. The four leg members have lower ends' positionable on a recipient surface and upper ends disposed above the lower platform. A square upper tray is secured to the upper ends of the four leg members of the support member. The upper tray is defined by an open upper end, a closed lower end, and a peripheral side wall. The closed lower end is slanted toward a central portion thereof. The central portion has a drainage aperture therethrough. The drainage aperture is in communication with a water outlet tray secured to a lower surface of the closed lower end. The water outlet tray has an open outer end for positioning adjacent to a sink. The open upper end has a plurality of compartments formed therein. The plurality of compartments include plate compartments and a main utensil compartment. The peripheral side wall has a plurality of cup hooks secured thereto. A square lower tray is secured to the four leg members of the support member below the upper tray. The lower tray is defined by an open upper end, a closed lower end, and a peripheral side wall. The closed lower end is slanted toward a central portion thereof. The central portion has a drainage aperture therethrough. The drainage aperture is in communication with a water outlet tray secured to a lower surface of the closed lower end. The water outlet tray has an open outer end for positioning adjacent to a sink. The open upper end has a plurality of compartments formed therein. The plurality of compartments include compartments for bowls, flatware, and drinking glasses.
