Draining rack with draining board, for sink?

Hello - can anyone recommend a draining rack which comes with a draining board? Our new kitchen has a wooden surface next to the sink- it has draining grooves but I want to protect it.
Was horrified by how expensive some drainage racks & boards are!
There’s 4 of us and I’d like a decent size one I can put stuff on when I can’t be bothered to use dishwasher, bowls mugs & the odd pan etc. And which will funnel the water into the sink, or retain it.
Thanks very much for any advice!

I’ve had the simplehuman one for 3 years, it’s great! All comes apart easily so it can be cleaned.

I have a Simple Human one too. It has a spout which you can point over the sink to protect worksurfaces.

I got a stainless Steel one from Lakeland, I must have had it 14 years and it’s showing no signs of wear & tear.
There’s 4 of us and I thought it c was a bit small, but it’s worked out ok for the bits that don’t make it into out tiny dishwasher.

I have an extendible Joseph one with a spout and it’s brilliant. I got it from John Lewis.

I use a draining board mat under and switch it for a clean one when I clean the kitchen every night

We had wooden work tops and a drainer, I wouldn’t risk it.

Dw are very efficient, if you have to run it twice it’s nothing compared to running an iron or a vacuum cleaner in terms of electric.
