Bachelor Box
Big box, small table, but a little more classy than a wood crate | |
The college, and bachelor lifestyle represents a time of upheaval and transition. Money is tight, and moving is frequent. For people who are always on the "Go and don't come back," virtucom presents the Bachelor box!
This handy black box is made with a durable, bullet proof lexan core, and is covered
in scatch, chip, and cut-resistant polymanlinessithane. The bottom is smoothly flat, with a slight rim around the edge. Handles on either side facilitate lifting. The box measures approximately two and a half feet in all dimensions. (some 90 centimeters, I guess...)
When emptied out, the sides of the box can be folded down, leaving stout table legs at the edges. You can then turn it upside down, and use it as a small coffee table, perfect for holding your only lamp, tossing newspapers and textbooks onto, or propping your feet up after a long night-and-day of frat parties.

"You can then turn it upside down, and use it as a small coffee table" - since when did manly men need coffee tables? Or even know what they are? |

Baked: two student friends used wooden fish crates, which come with free rope handles and can also be wall mounted. The smell is almost unnoticeable after a couple of years of hard living. |

Since when are college students manly men? And most manly men I know of are perfecly familiar with coffee tables... they just tend to call them "foot rests." |

Refrigerators are for cooling beer. Every good bachelor knows that much. |

[ye_river_xiv] Manly men? These were both girls, for the most part. They came from Edinburgh, ancient home of the fishwife. |

baked in my place; problem with a box-for-a-coffeetable is there's nowhere to stick your feet and the room gets crowded. I'll stick with the standard stolen milk-crate for most construction projects, thanks |

With this idea, the sides of the box fold up, leaving table legs, and a table top. That should give you two places to put your feet. |
|

The top surface of the coffeetable would be the outside of the box and get scratched alot if it was highly polished... the idea of an 'X' shaped coffeetable is sort intriguing, though... the sides of the box (outside top of the table) need to be supported, somehow; you don't want to put your feet up and have the thing tip over on you. |

I had intended for the sides of the box to fold inwards and upwards. Extra support struts would be necessary for them to fold outward... but I can see where that would have a certain appeal which I might want to look into. |
