#2: Wood Not
When I’m working and need to wash my hands, the last thing I want is to wash them in a sink that has an ecosystem of rot growing inside of it. I don’t know who failed elementary school science class to know that wood can rot when it absorbs water for an extended period.
Plus, we don’t even want to think about all the other stuff it’s been absorbing! That wood is probably home to old food, sweat, and other shady particles, you name it. This is why you shouldn’t make everything rustic chic. Sometimes, a good old stainless steel sink is all you need.
