Con Tray is made of 2 pieces of plastic screwed together, which gathers mold and mildew over time
The tray has a small space where water gets through whenever you deep clean it in the sink. To separate the two materials of the tray, you would have to remove 16 screws. It gathers old, stale water.
Con Cannot disassemble for storage
