Fake Paper Furniture: The Stupidest Idea Ever

by on Dec 7, 2006

 

Something called Lay It Out has “invented” life-sized furniture templates that help you envision where your furniture will go before buy it. Or move it in. Or whatever. This idea is so stupid, I’m tempted not to go on, but I will.

The Point

The templates, starting at $14.99, are available in various shapes including sofas, chairs, beds, love seats, dining tables and rugs. Yeah, that’s right, templates for rugs. Sheesh.

Save Your Money; Use Your Brain

How about using last Sunday’s want ads and a tape measure? Just lay out the newsprint in the dimensions of your dream furniture and keep your cash for something better. Like real furniture, maybe?

I repeat: Sheesh.
