Deckstools – Recycled Skateboard Stool

Broken skateboards are a byproduct of our culture usually destined for the landfill. The deckstool recycles this waste into a unique and interesting bits of furniture. It seems you can turn skateboards into pretty much anything these days.

There is a funny little bit on their site explaining, how you use the deckstool:

The deckstool may be used as an occasional stool or side table and is ideal for a young person’s bedroom, dorm room, apartment, or anywhere additional seating may be needed for playing video games, accommodating guests, or playing music. The compact size of the deckstool makes it especially versatile for use in rooms where floor space is limited.

Uhh.. okay. Well it does look very nice, and would be a great talking piece in a living room. The scrapes and scars add a lot of character, and you know that each piece is unique. I also kinda think it would make a great looking drum stool for a live performance of a punk rock band.

At USD$150 you might think it’s a little expensive – but if you think of it as a handmade unique bit of art, it’s a bargain.

Oh they also do custom ones (a little cheaper, in fact). You just have to send in your broken deck.
