As thrilling as any novel, as taut and exciting as any adventure story, Peter Hathaway Capstick's Death in the Long Grass takes us deep into the heart of darkness to view Africa through the eyes of one of the most renowned professional hunters.
Few men can say they have known Africa as Capstick has known it--leading safaris through lion country; tracking man-eating leopards along tangled jungle paths; running for cover as fear-maddened elephants stampede in all directions. And of the few who have known this dangerous way of life, fewer still can recount their adventures with the flair of this former professional hunter-turned-writer. Based on Capstick's own experiences and the personal accounts of his colleagues, Death in the Long Grass portrays the great killers of the African bush--not only the lion, leopard, and elephant, but the primitive rhino and the crocodile waiting for its unsuspecting prey, the titanic hippo and the Cape buffalo charging like an express train out of control. Capstick was a born raconteur whose colorful descriptions and eye for exciting, authentic detail bring us face to face with some of the most ferocious killers in the world--underrated killers like the surprisingly brave and cunning hyena, silent killers such as the lightning-fast black mamba snake, collective killers like the wild dog. Readers can lean back in a chair, sip a tall, iced drink, and revel in the kinds of hunting stories Hemingway and Ruark used to hear in hotel bars from Nairobi to Johannesburg, as veteran hunters would tell of what they heard beyond the campfire and saw through the sights of an express rifle.Binding Type: Hardcover

Just right for the necessities!
Very sturdy and made of quality material. Some people may prefer an even larger version if they use more products but thisone fits perfectly on the ledge behind my sink and is just big enough for the products I use daily when cleaning the kitchen. My only complaint is that the drip tray is about ¼ of an inch too short lengthwise so if all your products get a little water on them, you may get some drippage on the counter but I just slid it to the far left side where the sponges go because that's where it's needed most. I installed it backwards because I can't remove the tray from the front due to the sinks edge being raised too high. I also installed the rag holder in the opposite direction so that I can fit taller/more products in the back, I just think it works better that way imo. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with this product.

Noah's Ark
It's the largest caddy I could find that is great. Compared with other product reviews: no assembly required, sturdy, scratch protected feet, no rusting, etc. I bought clear and black spray, foam and capped bottles for it and just love having all my natural cleaning products out, handy, coordinating and looking good. Add a splash of color with some nice kitchen sheers or dish cloth. I like that it's not broken into a lot of compartments, but rather mostly platform to mix and match lots of bottles onto. I do have a long handled brush, and the basket holds it beautifully without tipping. I also found a silicone draining mat I like the look of, and it fits Perfectly under the caddy in place of the clear/white tray it comes with. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHQ9MRZQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Since I see this caddy set up every day, I'm happy to have a quality product on display.

Great product.
This stand works perfectly for me! Ive bought a lot and they either rust or the tray leaks water or you have to let the built in metal tray run directly in to the sink, which doesn't work if the sink is raised even a little bit.
This stand holds multiple cleaning tools, sponge brushes etc, the drain plugs and I can hang my cleaning cloth to dry. It is perfect. The tray catches all the water drips and cleans easily. It is compact and makes my kitchen counter look neat.
