We are not amused. If you have to explain it, then it doesn't work.

We quite like it. We are amused and pleased.
1. Simple, clean design
2.Multi-use
3. Practical
4. Not quite so "obvious" as a bed that transforms into a coffin. But if it were a cradle that spent time as a bookshelf and then did it's final duty as a coffin....then it would be symbolic as well. Or a furniture design pun. And we are almost always amused by a pun.

A few years back, ReadyMade had a plan for making a coffin out of Ikea bookshelves. We actually like these shelves better.

Although we are a writer (ROFL... we can't do this!) and it would be funny and fitting to be buried in a bookshelf, I intend to be an organ donor. Ultimate recycling, y'know.

I can't believe more people don't like these! They're awesome! I am highly amused.
