| @trimtab21 it's nice to have if the person has limited space in their homes. |

| It wastes the space. You could put 9 of those ugly sterile white boxes in the same space. It's a complicated mechanical action that eventually will fail and by then you will most likely not be able to repair it. So it will end up with the metal removed and sent to some questionable metal recycler and the mystery clapboard will end up in a landfill. Seasoned hardwood shelving you hand make using simple tools and hand rub with boiled linseed oil without stain or with fully non-toxic stain will look gorgeous and you can tailor it's size to fit your living space. You will have the tools to do other tasks. The money you save is all yours.

| why does design always have to be pure function? this is frigging rad, don't rag on it too much- it's innovative and cool, something which hasn't been done before- which would be simple to repair if in the unlikely circumstance it failed as it is just a basic system. the fact you can manipulate it also means that it could serve more than one function, you could use it as a side table, or move it out of the way to free up space. |
