ZenTable: By Cardboard Design

Design & Architecture (tables)

Cardboardesign had such a good initial response to its cardboard furniture and decorative products they decided to open a commercial website. “With prices ranging from $36 - $160, everyone can own a piece. From penthouses to playhouses, the furniture fits in any dwelling”. They suggest that their desktops, like that of the pictured ZenTable, take on a "lacquered look" if the top is varnished. Look for traditional (non-urethane) marine spar varnish if you decide to go that route. Examples of custom decorated versions of the table are shown here. The TreeHugger favored quote from the website promo: “Not one [1] tree was cut down to produce our furniture & packaging.”.

Does anyone here own any of this furniture or have seen it personally? I'm curious as to just how durable it is. Would I be able to put my feet up on the coffeetable? Could it support the weight of a TV without denting or breaking?

I can easily stand on it [although we don't recommend doing this. and have my computer on. The newer TVs with flat screens would have no problem. I have tested old tv's but I use the sheves for books and 1 1/2 year later they are holding like new.
