It is too far. Which bums me out. In my previous kitchen - downstairs, I
had a porcelain sink with a very high lip and my dish drainer never fit
right. I was hoping for a better scenario when I moved upstairs, but
that is not to be at least until I remodel which won't be any time soon.

I am almost used to putting the dishes on the right. It still seems wrong.
