Furniture to die for

If you’re into recycling and reusing things, there’s new furniture that’s simply to die for — coffin couches.
Here’s how the sellers explain these morbidly curious couches:
We at Coffincouches.com have the mindset of thinking “Green” and we know it is different but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch.
These “dead” gorgeous couches can handle some pretty heavy weight (like me), up to 900 lbs. All it will set you back is a “ghastly” $3,500, though shipping is not included. You can start your shopping here.

I like the cow print one. Gives a new meaning to being dead tired on the couch in the evenings, doesn’t it?
