box from the future

After acquiring a fancy new couch, I realized that it's too short for resting my legs in a comfy way.

So I checked out furniture stores to find the perfect stool (is this the proper term? Somehow it feels wrong to me) but most were too large to fit my cramped room or had the wrong height or simply looked boring.

This offered yet another excuse to waste some plastic and the idea of a semi-futuristic, semi-simple and semi-stupid box-like stool was born.

Advantages are:

* it's a box
* you can put things in it
* it's a stool
* you can sit on it
* it carries the weight of one regular human
* one panel is detachable
* there's one version with a simple hinge too
* it looks like a prop stolen from a sci-fi movie

Disadvantages though:

* it's got huge gaps in it; boxes aren't supposed to have gaps
* small things will fall through the gaps
* it's not a good stool
* you'll prefer to sit on a real chair instead of a box
* it probably won't carry the weight of two obese
