Astrid, i still have to check it out in person, but yeah, my mind was made up as to whether **I** like it before I posted. My question, and once again, I should’ve realized it wasn’t clear, was how other people would respond. I probably should’ve emphasized that when I asked “what do you think?” I meant it. Or maybe I should’ve said “how does it make **you**feel?” And said it was perfect for me in every way, not only measurements.
Mostly joking but not entirely, the washer/dryer is in the kitchen, so it fits that way! I might even use it for its intended purpose, in addition to its being a dinner table. The dryer uses condensation, which means things are dry, warm, and very wrinkled. I only use it for bedsheets—i hang everything else. There is a Wikipedia article with the pic Carla posted that says mangels are often still used to iron things. Our laundromat in Jena had one, but that was a decade ago. Of course, modern ones are heated, but maybe, if I take the sheets from the w/d while they are still warm, it might help. If that works, it’s a bonus. Mostly it will be our dinner table. Otherwise I was planning to build one with a “natural” slab and a hinge or two like this.
And yes, I’ll post a pic when the kitchen is “done”.
