Going apartment-searching in Helsinki has been a fun introduction to different customs for small-space-living. Here’s one that should be spread to all mankind - Dish racks are installed like shelves in a bottomless cupboard above the sink where they can drip, dry, and be stored away in one fell swoop. And I brought my standalone dish rack over here like a caveman!

Yea really, whatsa matter with you, you Phillistine! We had one of these in my old country in Romania. It’s a brilliant idea!

So, how do you keep it from dripping all over the counter and stuff? Seems a bit kludgey. Are the counters shaped to transport everything to the sink?

It’s right above the sink so it drips right in. Any borderline droplets are worth the convenience!

My wife and I are very happy with this faucet and saved about $100 rather than getting from homedepot.
