Interesting concept, but definitely looks uncomfortable to sit on.

Won't the lower screen panel get scratched up from rubbing against the floor as a chair?

cool idea, but as executed, more "ow" than "wow"--yikes!

it's clever... I'm not hating it completely.. I've had times when I'd wished the walls did a transformers-type of thing and offer more seating space... jeje

Ohmygod I completely misread the name of that chair on first glance! Drop one letter and it's... well.. it's still a crappy chair. I like the idea, but not the execution.

As a screen maybe but you'd really need to be pushed for space to want it as a chair.

On first glance, I kind of like it, but I agree with Pistachio that it looks like it would break with anything lighter than a pillow on it.
