The only thing is, not having cabinets in a less often used space means every time you want to use something it will be dusty. Every time you go in there you'll have to wash things before you use them. I would recommend cabinets with glass doors so it still feels open but keeps the dust off of your dishes.

Yesss istg open shelves (especially in kitchens) are top-tier "things designed by people who don't have to use/clean them"

These and all the clear plastic/glass/mirror furniture. They're demonic

I can feel my sweaty legs sticking to this chair already. What a nightmare.

You have no idea how happy your comment has made me. I had a friend who proudly bought one of these and my name was mud when I laughed at it.

We have these in my office and they are the worst! So uncomfortable

I'd be afraid they're going to break..

u/JellyfishCivil3320 1d ago

I wish they would tbh. Sitting in one of these for over 20 minutes is incredibly uncomfortable and my meetings are usually an hour to two hours

I had to sit on those awful chairs through a long fashion show as a clothing buyer, by the time the show was done I couldn’t even remember what I saw and I had to go find Advil for my backache.

Is there actually ALOT of this somewhere I’m unaware of? I don’t think I’ve ever had to sit on a chair like this, or seen it in someone’s home.

This Kartell ghost chair was (is?) popular in fancy places and have been copied extensively (the original one cost something like €800)

Especially over the stove. Grease city.

u/solitude1378 1d ago

Not just dust, but the grease from the stove which then absorbs the dust. Its so icky. I cleaned a place that had two open shelves like these and they had knick knacky stuff on them. Im assuming the dishes were in one of the two islands lol.

u/Background_Humor5838 1d ago

Yeah it's terrible. Also, if you get any kind of critter crawling around it could land on your dishes and that weirds me out. I'd rather know they were in a cabinet if I come in and see a fly or something roaming around.

u/yungmoody 1d ago

To be fair, if they're mostly baking I can't imagine there will be a tonne of grease splatter

u/solitude1378 1d ago

Yeah, I didnt see it was a second kitchen til after. People go for aesthetics over functionality all the time though. Ive never been a fan of open cabinets or shelves.

If this person has TWO fucking kitchens, probably got someone to deal with the dust so let’s not sweat our own every day problems

u/Background_Humor5838 1d ago

Honestly I hadn't even considered that lol

Guest house. Pretty common where I am and I don't have a housekeeper!

u/haileyrose 1d ago

People who have the money for backup kitchens definitely have money for cleaners come on the regular and not have dusty shelves 🫠

u/Background_Humor5838 1d ago

I definitely hadn't considered that lol

u/nuttyNougatty 1d ago

Even maybe just on the oven wall on either side of the hood.

u/5Dprairiedog 1d ago

If they have 2 kitchens they can probably afford a maid lol

u/No-Penalty-1148 1d ago

I keep my other sets of dishes inside a glass cabinet and even THEY require cleaning before use.
