Great concept, but that cord looks awful.

I'm not really feeling it... it would work in a bar/club/hotel, but not really for a home. Just my personal opinion. **shrugging shoulder**

Considering it really looks like exactly what it is: an office fluorescent fixture hacked into a bench with two lucite feet, I couldn't imaging this being anything more than kitschy and belonging in a Mod all-white ice cave-themed night club.

For 700 dollars he could at least come up with some portable/rechargeable way to power the thing.

I don't get it. It looks like a DIY - "Design on a Dime" project.
