    My first thought upon seeing the cargo straps was: “Oh this is some bondage play shit isn’t it”

    So hideous I’d consider buying it just to ruin the day of whomever gazes upon it.

      If I saw that in someone’s house I’d think “well that’s terrible but no-one’s first woodworking project looks great, at least it’s creative problem-solving”.

      Hearing the price tag is where I’d probably faint.

    I have spent some time homeless and have legitimately seen homeless encampments with uh ‘decor’ that looks like this, albeit rusted and water logged.

    Some stolen construction zone materials, some crackhead ingenuity and voila! ‘comfy’ chair.

    This is about an average one bedroom apartment rent in the US for a ratchet ass chair (it literally has ratchets!) that can actually be assembled by toothless fentanyl addicts.

    Fuck whatever this company is and anyone that buys this bullshit.

    How charmingly quaint my good man! I think it will make the perfect bougie addition to my bare hardwood Manhattan flat. I’ll put it just next to the elevator. This must really be how the poor’s live!

      Nah. If anything, I think this is more a parody of bricolage design.

      I’ll make you a personalized one for $1700. That’s a nice discount off the $1888 retail price.

        You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

          Building it rn. My “fraction of the price” came up to $61 but I bought about 2x too much lumber.

          Friendly reminder many libraries have maker spaces or maker spaces they work with. Maybe no need to get your own tools at all!

            Not only does my local library have a maker space, but there is also a local FB group where people lend their tools and other things (like cooking supplies)

              That’s actually really cool. I know my wife is on our neighbourhood Nextdoor group. You’ve got me wondering if anyone on there has a table saw they’d let me use every so often in exchange for some beer or something.

    My first thought is that this is meant for custom upholstery. If you’re spending $1800 on a single chair, you’re probably willing to shell out another grand or whatever to cover it in fabric that you like.
