No, not any more. I am a nomad, and some houses and kitchens barely have enough room for my flatware. Most of the stuff that people keep in the junk drawer I have sorted into small clear storage bo...
Yes, I would use this in my home. It's rather stark, but it's dual purpose portability trumps. I don't think I could move it by myself, but I know my husband and I could move it, and we are tired o...
