Susanne T. sent me this image. She is in Latvia and walks by a furniture store every day that has this set of kitchen cabinets visible from the street.
I think it's especially interesting that, unless Latvia has a much more egalitarian division of household labor than the U.S., it would be primarily women using this cabinet to do dishes. Susanne, any information about gender and housework in Latvia?

Hi, I assume there are more women than men using kitchens and doing housework here... Also, this store seems pretty expensive and I was wondering who would be able to afford the stuff they sell, given that this is a rather poor country. I am also clueless where this product specifically is from - as most goods are imported, mainly from the nordic countries. In any case, it's disturbing.
