If it moves, it moves too much. Making the top suspension points vertically above the point on the mattress box would make it more stable, i.e. sitting off-center wouldn't make it sway. It would st...
Some low-flow heads are awful, but some actually make th emost of a low flow water heater as well. I use one that has the spary holes in a circly inside a cup. It is designed to spray larger drops ...
These are sold here as toys. They are not really strong magnets BTW. Throw 2 in the air together, they attract and bounce with a singing (and annoying) sound.

I remember these as using too much energy and water. Maybe that has changed, but the older machines were severely compromised as dryers, heating the clothes against the hot washing drum, fanning aw...
My street in Amsterdam (the original in Europe) scores only 46. Why? Google doesn't know about most facilities in my area. The nearest drugstore is at 17 kilometers according to Google, while it is...
What's the deal with Pantone? Their spot color system for printing was plain awful. And in this (stair)case I do not like the labels anyway.
I once assembled a table with color strips ...
Burlap looks nice (IMO) but on these chairs it doesn't.
Why not a birlap bean bag? Burlap gives off lots of dust, and smells as well. The food grade sacks are oiled with vegetable oil,...
Mouthwash contains fluoride (I hope).
Fluoride attacks porcelain (and glass). Hence the warnings about not letting blobs of toothpaste sitting in the sink.
I'd rather not ...
ChristopherB, plastic foil is polyethene, which should not emit harmful substances.
Bisphenol and formaldehyde are ingredients of hard plastics. Bisphenol is expensive, used for polyca...
This is probably expensive and teflon is environmentally 'heavy', more so when it is eventually disposed of.
And what is the purpose? A tray, roller and handle set costs (or needs to c...
I suppose Ikea is worried that painting will make the wood of the Bekvam slippery, the owner will fall, and maybe sue.
However with dry feet there should not be a problem. It takes pai...
If my walls had to have that color I'd try to overwhelm them , cover them, or apply colored lighting to change their looks.
Or it might be possible to ask the LL to have the brown wall...
If your telco skimps on emergency power you may not have phone service in a blackout. We discovered that in the Netherlands.
At least with cell, there are 3 networks to choose from. So...
I'd get one or two baskets that fit the shelves and put the miscalleneous item in them.
The rest of the shelves will go wonderfully with stacks of folded towels (if your towels match)....
Naval Jelly contains phosphoric acid. Cola (sugar-bearing variety) contains this as well. It might be worth a try...
Do not confuse Naval Jelly with navel jelly...
A concrete slab like this has a rough underside, which makes it nearly useless. Especially as breaking it into useful pieces is hard. Using the broken-up bits to pave a path makes the most sense. T...
I like to have a choice of cleaners. Most jobs are handled nicely with dishwashing soap: powerful and not too toxic. Some jobs need an alkaline or acidic cleaner. Good to have those (I once used li...

I had one as well. I was not too happy with it as the leaves bled small drops of sugar water, making the window sill rather sticky.

I'd go for stain, as that would hide any scratches, accentuates the wood, and is timeless. White paint is a fad, I think.

Bad idea indeed. Epoxy (depending on quality) is also not the nicest material for food contact. Zinc or copper would be infinitely better materials.
