$1100 USD for a fucking chair you can hang clothes on? I want some of what these guys are smoking.

I mean, if you're in the bespoke furniture market this isn't insane. There's a reason IKEA is so popular

It's a YouTube creator and maker (Simone Giertz) who invented this as part of a video. She doesn't produce thousands of these, so I see where the price is coming from.

Its an absurdly expensive chair, but at that price it should be the kind of furniture that your great grandkids will be taking to the dump after you're long gone. You can't say the same for an IKEA chair that lasts 20 years.

Just wait to see what people charge for custom dining room tables.

I don't think "your grandkids will have to throw it away" is quite as strong an endorsement as you meant it to be

Great grandkids. Not grandkids.

Not much of my great grandparents furniture exists that I know of. A couple things my son’s great grandma still exist. But I expect he’ll be taking it to the dump when it’s time to clean out our house.

My endorsement is meant to be a kind of humorous spin, talking about throwing it away is definitely not a proper endorsement, but I'm not a furniture marketer.

Its more of a this thing will last so long, in 80 years, it will be way out of style, doesn't match anything and the great-grandkid's spouse is very insistent they do not want it in their home.

I mean to be fair to all of us it's not like we have a lot of space for these items to go other than the chair or the hamper because we all live in fuck ass tiny shit apartments. Perhaps if we had more reasonable amount of space, we wouldn't have to resort to such tactics.

I have a whole house and still resort to these tactics. People just don't design furniture for that inbetween status that clothes get.

As someone who regularly has to clean up that pile left by others, screw you. Just throw it in the laundry basket. Regardless of how clean or dirty it is. Otherwise it will just be forgotten and the pile grows too big and later will throw off washing schedule.

If clothing item has been worn more than just trying it on and it's ot going to be worn again the next day. Then it goes to the laundry basket.

The problem is, washing clothes wears them out.

Washing and drying is way more aggressive on clothes than anything you’re doing in them, unless you’re a skater and regularly eat shit on the pavement.

Fair point, though drying depends whatever it's done in the dryer or just air dried on a clothes line. Latter being less damaging to the clothes.

But all of that is kinda irrelevant in comparison to the rage that the ever growing pile of clothes in limbo generates.

But I am going to wear 5 shirts, two pairs of pants, and all my gym shorts tomorrow

In high school I left my clean laundry in a floor pile, it sometimes became bed 2

3

Its like purgatory for laundry. That shirt must atone by being used one last time before St Peter opens the washing machine

A "neat" pile on the part of my too-large-for-my-room bed that I don't use at all.

I can’t get over how perfect that painting and the girl’s expression are for this meme. Applause to OOP, whoever you are!

Try just dedicating one drawer to be a "staging drawer" for this stuff. Haven't had laundry clutter at all since I started doing that.
