Client hired Largo Green (LG) carpenters to design & build a dual purpose laundry hamper. 1st thing was to store dirty laundry, until full load was gathered The 2nd was to create a bench seat where one could sit while drying off, etc.. LG chose teak wood for its SPA-like quality, feel, look, & durability around water & humidity. It was challenging to soften the teak so it would bend into place. .
