I swear that these things are designed with holes that are too large in the
bottom on purpose - to facilitate their (and their dishwasher's) early
demise. Of course you toss knives in point first and eventually they saw
through the plastic joint(s) in the waffle pattern and the larger hole is
born. Then the silverware falls through, and the spinning waterbar is
guaranteed to whack something from time to time. And pulling out the bottom
rack with silverware dangling through these holes will ensure a fair number
of scratches on the inside of the dishwasher door.

I believe these are designed this way to help shorten the overall life of
the dishwasher.

OK, end of rant.

Does anyone sell some kind of plastic waffle material that I can cut into
squares and create a better bottom for the silverware rack, so things won't
fall through?

Thanks,
